I purchased this matching indoor/outdoor runner and small rug for a hallway and guest bath with a wood floor that gets used by our outdoor guests coming in from the pool. 
The kids come in with wet swim suits and I needed protection for the floor.
This indoor/outdoor carpet met my requirements perfectly.  The product was a great value for this medium thickness carpet.  The beige color in the rug is comprised of individual white and sand colored carpet fibers which gives it great depth.  The gray design is a true cool gray. The runner lays next to a gray with blue under-toned upholstered bench and it compliments the space very well. I purchased a carpet pad for the runner to eliminate movement  on the wood and have had no issues. It has not shed at all, had no foul smell and it lay flat after 24 hours.
