I bought this runner mostly for color in my home, and near 2 main areas in my kitchen, for warmth & softness. I just LOVE this rug so much a bought a third, and looking into buying a fourth runner.
The rugs do not look anything like the picture, the first two I bought were bright pink w/ other colors flowing through it and the other was black background and bright colors, good to call and specify.
However, the 3 I bought turned out perfect for my home and the black runner went into my camper, because of the bight colors inside. LOVE, LOVE the rugs!

Pros: The warmth, and fun colors
Cons: When buying one should call to specify the different colors. There are black background and then the brighter colors, pink, yellows, purple, light blue mix together, but beautiful overall!
