I have been looking for a beautiful non-skid runner for my hallway for awhile now...finally took a chance on this one. Once i got it i opened it up and the pattern is so beautiful...totally my style. But what got me really excited was that it actually was non-skid. I have cherry wood floors and this is protecting it very nicely. No one has tripped and the runner has not moved out of place at all. Very pleased...will definitely continue to purchase this brand when i need more. Happy customer!
