I have this as a runner and it looks great. It's medium-ish pile, even though it's described as low, and it feels soft. The bottom is slippery so you will need a grip pad. It's not super dense like an expensive carpet so only problem is that, in certain lighting, you can see that it has been treaded on (how the pile lays in one direction in certain areas) which you can see in customer photos. Nevertheless, it looks great and the price is excellent.
