Note:  the runner that I received (the 12 by 2 footer) does not look like the image.  The rug I received looks just like the pattern displayed for the other area rugs sizes you can get in this line.  So...if you like the pattern on the 12 x 2 runner and are planning to order it, you may not get what you see!  I tried to let Joss and Main know this, but not sure how to give them that feedback unless I'm returning the item.  And I'm not returning the item because the rug works in the space.  The runner settled in just a few days and now lays flat.  It's neither scratchy or particularly soft.  Needs a rug grippy thingy underneath.
