We bought the hallway runner and it serves its purpose just fine with a gripper mat underneath.  I like the pattern; it is more contemporary than most -- no curlicews, no florals, etc -- and more in keeping with our contemporary mountain decor.  Things you should know:  1) The overall color of the rug skews more toward brown rather than gray.  Some of the pictures of the product look grayer, and that is what I was hoping for.  2) The colors also are darker than they appear in the pictures.  I'm assuming they did some good, direct lighting in the pictures, which doesn't happen in a hallway, so the nice variety of colors don't show up nearly so well.

Pros: Good price, nice pattern and colors
Cons: Not as bright as pictures indicate
