Bought the runner for an open plan hallway/kitchen/diner. The area next to the staircase needed something to liven it up and this has done the job brilliantly. 
I did initially want something with a darker grey to hide the dogs paw prints! I must say, it has been down a week now and apart from hoovering, has not required any other maintenance so far! Label does say to hoover without a beater/brush bar going, so you would need to have the ability to turn this off. It is rather tightly rolled on arrival, so rolling it the opposite way and flattening back out did help. It still seems to have some issues laying completely flat but im sure this will sort itself out soon!
