I bought this to match the 8' runner I bought in same style and color.  You can stand on it but it's not that comfortable for a long time.  I use it in my closet area and go barefoot and it's fine.  It's good for high traffic areas and stays in place pretty well without a rug pad.   It looks as described.Pros: Great value, good for high traffice areas like entryway.Cons: None yet.  Haven't had a spill so not sure how difficult it would be to clean given that I've heard sisal and  rugs aren't easy to clean.
