I have been looking for a runner just like thus. What a surprise to see it on Wayfair's site. It is just like the photo and has a substantial weight - you can't see through it and it drapes over the sides of the table easily. Some runners are stiff that they aren't "touchable." No concerns with this runner! After ironing it the result was just right - not formal but still inviting. 

Pros: Weight of the fabric and the navy stripes that added the sense of being unique.
Cons: none
