We needed a longer runner behind a kitchen island. This one has been just perfect. It's soft, plush and feels great while standing behind the sink. It rolled out nicely and doesn't have any creases or folds after a day or so out of the packaging. Vacuums incredibly well. I would say the colors are fairly true to the image though the blue may be a bit more muted in person. That suits us just fine, and it matches perfectly with our modern rustic style. 
One drawback is you will absolutely need a rug gripper to keep it from slipping. It definitely doesn't have a backing that will prevent this. However, I don't think you need a rug pad - it's very thick on its own. 
We like it so much that we may also get a matching area rug for the living room.
