I purchased this rug as a runner for my kitchen.  The rug is attractive, fits perfectly, colors are fine, and the  price was good enough I won't gnash teeth it gets destroyed quickly, since I've never tried a "nicer" rug in this area before. To be expected, corners will take a few days to flatten completely, and will need to get some of those little  corner grippy things (aka expensive cat toys!) but very pleased with the purchase.
