We used several runners on a staircase and it looks great. We pulled up an old tan colored carpet: sanded and painted the stairs white and then placed down this rug. The color looks great against the existing maple woodwork and really pops against the white of the wood stairs. The rug is a good quality fabric. It's durable but does not have plastic feel to it like some outdoor rugs. We needed something that would clean easily and hold up well on a stairs. It's not a thick rug; that made it easy to work with on our stairs. We have gotten a lot of compliments since installing it. The color was true to the image on the website and the construction of the rug was good as well. I'm happy with this purchase and the cost of the rug.
