I was looking for a runner for the entrance to my apartment. The size I purchased is 2'2" x 6'7". It fit perfectly. Overall, this is a well made, attractively styled rug...and it precisely matched the colors in the picture. It's slightly thinner than I had expected, but that's okay. It's actually soft on the feet. With smaller rugs, after they are unrolled, they don't always lie flat. This rug was perfectly flat within a day. As a runner, it absolutely requires a rug pad to keep it from sliding. My suggestion is to place the rug directly on the floor for a day so that any kinks can flatten out, before placing it on the rug pad. If you need to place it on the rug pad first, make sure the rug is pulled flat, possibly weighting down the ends. I could have spent less on a hallway runner, but I wanted a rug that would hold up over time and that would fit the bill. This one looks like it will. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because you should read the reviews not the number of stars.
