Debated many days on which hallway runner to get and decided to take a leap of faith and go with this bright rug by Safavieh. Boy, am I EVER glad  I did! It. Is. GORGEOUS! The colors are beautiful and bright without being garish. It lay flat almost immediately even though it was 8 feet long and was way more plush than I had anticipated. I would highly recommend this rug! I wish I had room somewhere else for another one! Lol!
