The lace runner was bought for the long, cream colored dresser in my bedroom and the lace runner looks wonderful on it. I'm sure I'll switch from dresser to table as needed as this has the look & feel of a hand crocheted piece. It it sturdy and well made with a heavier weight cotton yarn. I'm a knitter so I appreciate the heavier (read that as not flimsy) cotton used to make this. I know it will hold up well. Very pleased indeed.
