I like the way this table runner looks but I am unhappy with the quality of the materials. This table runner is the color I was looking for and gives my table the sparkle I wanted but the runner is much thinner than I expected. The previous runner I was using was made of 2 layers of fabric and both were thick. I have a serving tray on my table with screw heads on the underside that can scratch my table if someone were to slide it instead of picking it up to move it and I was hoping the table runner would help protect the table but the fabric is so thin the screws will still scratch the table. I felt the runner was affordable (which is probably why its made out of cheaper material) but now I feel like I need to buy something to go under it to protect my table.
