I just unpackaged my runner, the colors are vibrant as shown online.  Wish I thought to get the rubber to go under the runner to keep it in place. Of course it need time to flatten out. it's nothing I can say bad about the runner happy with my purchase. I'll be buying 3 more for my kitchen. Smaller version I wasn't thinking when I ordered the 10ft, luckily my hallway is long so it end up fitting perfectly. 

Pros: Durable and easy to clean, very important when you have doggies!
