I was looking for a wider runner to use as you come in my front door.  My Chocolate Lab CoCo loves to lay here and she can fit just fine on this one.  I wanted a pink toned rug to use on my dark Wood Ceramic Tile floor that would not look cheap.  WoW did I do great with this choice. Trust me on this choice....I was afraid it might be to bright pink but it was the perfect rich tone and you will not be disappointed. I'm going to get it in a different size next for my kitchen area.  Get this one quick!!
