The 22 ft. runner and pad arrived very quickly.  The runner is handsome, terrific...better than the photo.... and of very nice quality.  The pad adds extra cushioning and keeps the runner from sliding on a hardwood floor....a definite plus.  The lighter color combination is excellent for brightening a semi-dark hallway.  Some people said that it doesn't flatten out easily.  However, if the runner is re-rolled in the opposite direction from how it was shipped and kept in that position for a half-hour or so, it begins to flatten out nicely.  I've only had the runner and pad for a few days but would highly recommend it to others.  Very pleased.
