Bought the 2 x 10 runner for hall.  It's not Persian, but it's not pricey.   No irregularities that other comments indicated.  With books, laid down fine in 24 hours.  I might be wrong, but I think that it ALSO smacks some Mid Century.  Regardless, it goes well with Mid Century furniture in the area.  Yes, it has some thickness.  Comfortable under feet.  However, after receiving, I purchased a pad for under it.  Rubber non skid on one side, "polyester felt" on the other.  Works.  Wayfair $38.  Felt was 3 times the price.  I'm pleased.  Recommend.  Note: It would be fine without the pad but even better with.
