Bought a runner and a 3x5 of this rug; the runner for the laundry room, which is more of a galley style and the other for my office. Not sure I'll put a pad underneath them since it'll make the runner too tall and the door won't be able to open. And the office rug with a pad would create problems with the casters of my office chair. Instead I've bought carpet tape to help hold it in place. They are thin and more of an outdoor feel and look than indoor, but for an office and laundry room they will work just fine. Attractive and great price too.
