I recently bought 2 of the 8
 ft long runners in this
 patter. I love them. I have a
 long hallway with wood floors
 and every time someone walked
 down it, you could hear every
 footstep, which was really
 annoying. This carpet is
 thick, and feels wonderful on
 the bare foot. It looks
 beautiful against the dark
 wood of the floor. Now we no
 longer hear footsteps. Instead
 I keep catching my kids
 playing in the hallway because
 the carpet feels so plush. I
 also love how the color made
 the beige of the hallway not
 feel so oppressive. It gave
 color where there was none
 before. The price was also
 awesome. I love this rug! One
 quick note - it is wool so it
 does shed a lot during its
 first few months. Not a big
 deal to me. I can live through
 the shedding time because
 everything else about this rug
 is awesome!
