We purchased two of these runners to help keep our dog from slipping on the hardwoods since he has a bad habit of running to the door and recently had a dislocated shoulder. These are great because they are outdoor (for footstroller traffic) and are very thin so the closet doors easily open over them. We cut up the outdoor rug pad and placed it underneath throughout each rug to make sure the doors still opened. Colors are very vibrant and match the rest of our decor perfectly.
