The colour is refreshing, brings joy to my eyes. Not having to see 4 different throw rugs and just have one long one- is great. I wish I could buy another to cover the rest of the hallway- a smaller one- maybe half the size of the 23" x 7 ft. however, it cost a bit more than I can afford. I'm thankful for this one. It tidies up the front entrance. Update: There was a small non slip bottom of the stair runner for rest of hallway. It is to arrive May 20th. I'll let you know my thoughts then.
