I love this pattern. I already have the runner and waited FOREVER for this size to come in stock. I laid the rug out when it arrived today and its small. Its not 5'5".  Its roughly 7" less. I still like the rug and I can find another place in the house for it but....not going to work where I wanted it.  Not sure if I want to try to order the bigger rug  or just do without. Other than it running smaller I still love this pattern. Its very pretty but tough enough to stand up to the kids and my dogs.
