I've been looking for a runner and a matching rug to place in front of the kitchen sink to brighten up my garage entry and kitchen for spring, and the colors in this caught my eye.  It's bright and vibrant without being loud and would complement many wall and floor colors.  The rug is thick enough to have a plush feel, yet just the right height to fit under the open door nicely. It vacuums well, and although it doesn't trap the dirt as well as my winter runner, it does an adequate job.  It does slip on the wood floor a bit, and I believe a non-slip mat will be in order. Very happy with my purchase and the price I paid!
