I browsed for a while to find a kitchen runner long enough (2'6''x10') to fill our galley kitchen. I ordered this rug knowing makes nice rugs, but was glad to find the rug thickness at just the right amount for a kitchen. The colors are true to the photo, and perhaps even a tad brighter on the ivory side, which was fine as it lightens the space more. After consulting a few interior designers, I am happy with this purchase.
