Make sure you look at the dimensions.  My fault,  as I looked at the picture and it is misleading.  The runner is 28 inches long just over the size of two rulers.  So the way it looks in the picture it shows it that it goes right across the entire table and hangs over.  I literally have the small runner in the middle of the table and it almost looks like a larger place mat.  I wished I would have seen a review prior to purchasing it.  
Although it is very pretty and I plan on keeping it, I am quite disappointed.
