Love, love love this runner! It is the perfect length in front of our sliding doors. It is also surprisingly soft, even under bare feet. The subtle pattern makes it prettier than typical jute-style rugs. At least once a day since it arrived,  I exclaim “I love this rug!” Quite thick, which is great for our use, but may not fit under some doors that swing in. Only drawback so far is that we caught the dog digging at it once, which created a small pull. We both yelled at the same time and I think she may think twice before trying that again...Lol!
