This runner rug is exactly what I wanted in terms of color and length. The design on the rug is simple, but eyecatching. The rug took my hallway to a whole new level of sophistication. The only negative about it is, it doesn't have the backing on it which keeps it from sliding, which caused me to purchase a runner pad, that added to the expense of the rug.  All in all, it is a very good purchase.
