The size is perfect.  Many runners are longer than 6ft.  Put this in the hallway entering home from the garage, which is right next to laundry room.  So, purchased the smaller 2x4 rug as well for that room.  They coordinate perfectly and look great.  Great value for the money.  Let's see how well they wear (high traffic area), but when they wear out, I'll throw away and get another.
