Perfect! I have a long, wide hallway and two small dogs. We recently replaced all our carpeting with wood laminate (log home). The dogs were having an awful time running down the hall and turning into any of the 4 doors opening onto it. The runner was long enough to do the entire hallway - the dogs are quieter now (not toenails tapping on the laminate) and they are delighted to have the secure footing. The rug vacuums easily with no lifting of the edges. I totally recommend it and may purchase a room size rug in the same pattern....
