I have a long hall way and I bought 5 of 2'3" x 8' runner rugs.  The pieces arrived in perfect condition.  The 0.5 inch thickness is just perfect for bare feet to walk on.  You won't get a feeling of too thin, like stepping on hard floor.  The rug has a mixed-color hue, dirt and stain are less visible. My living room has a center rug and the color is light jade with gold silk floral pattern.  This rug's color goes well with my living room rug because of its gold flowers and a turquoise hue.  This rug is good quality and made of very good workmanship.  The edges are reinforced.  The runner adds an elegant look to your room/hallway.   It's a value choice for the price.  I'm so glad that I had made this superb choice.
