Bought this runner for a hallway running from my patio to bathroom, laundry, and garage. It arrived within days and I am impressed by the quality! It's very thick and has non-slip dots on the bottom so you really don't need a rug mat. It's a bit coarse and may be rough on sensitive feet but I love it because it traps dirt, etc well and seems like it will last a long time!! Couldn't be happier!
