This was the second black runner that I had ordered. The first, from another vendor at a different online retailer was wholly defective. So, receiving this truly beautiful black runner was a bonus double blessing. If does stay put without the need for a non-slip pad under it. And, amazingly it was a whole lot easier to clean and it was much more affordable to boot. I’m extremely satisfied with this runner that is even wider and longer than the other one. I’m grateful to have chosen Wayfair!
