It is hard to find a good 12' runner so I was pleased with this for sure.  I gave it 4 stars because I think the price might be a bit too high.  If it goes on sale for say under $100 then I would think that would be more in the right price range.  There is a pattern on this one that has a little red that continues through the rug (look at pictures) it is okay for me but something to notice if you don't like that continuous pattern.  All in all it is a good rug, seems like good quality so far and met what I needed.
