Love these I got two 10ft hall runners. Thick pile, super comfy underfoot. THE COLOR let me tell you folks...Are you looking for that "grey/Brown" combo that goes with both color schemes in a new home? THIS IS THAT COLOR. All the new tile I have seen lately (including in my new home) is a bizarre mixture that will perfectly go with grey heavy or natural heavy color schemes. Great! EXCEPT when you try to put down the wrong hue in carpet. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Is there a designer in the audience that can give me the term for this? I know there is a decorating term...Bah. That is what I get for dropping out of art school. Highly recommend for both quality and livability. You will not want a pad under this. It is at least an inch thick. You WILL need a non stick backing. I tried the roll tape type..FAIL. I ordered two full length ones from here and it works MUCH BETTER. SLIGHTLY more expensive but you will save yourself $20 on the tape that won't work!
