Got this rug as a runner for my hallway, arrived ahead of schedule (always nice!) and looks great! I am very pleased with this purchase.  The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the rug produces a TON of blue lint and requires quite a bit of vacuuming -- I have heard that many dark rugs have a lint issue so not sure if it is the rug or a dark rug issue.  Overall I am very pleased!
