The rug is well made and the carpet threads/fiber is the perfect height for a runner. The colors are a bit deeper than what is noted in the picture, but it also depends on your house lighting/bulbs too. At time of order, I thought they may be a bit too busy, but they are not. 
I ordered two runners initially, and loved them so much, I ordered another rug, small 2x3 for my pantry area, to complete the areas in need. Extremely happy with them.
