We received these runner rugs and love how the colors look with our new kitchen remodel. We didn't want to invest in expensive rugs since they will be in the kitchen and exposed to slops and spills. A week after we received these rugs, we adopted a shelter puppy, which underscores that non-expensive rugs were the way to go. He has piddled on them a few times and they clean up with no one will be none the wiser. The rugs are super soft, albeit very thin. Be sure to get rug pads if you plan to stand on them for anything length of time. I think for the quality surpasses the price, so they are a great deal. Just don't expect a five figure oriental rug. In time, if these get too "used", I will repurchase. Remember, great value.
