Other than the misrepresented color, the runner rug has worked well for me. It is hard to find a runner this long so that was a good start. The photo shows the center part as a solid green but it is actually a woven pattern of cream and green (sage?). I have had the runner down in my kitchen for about two months and it is wearing well even with two dogs. Being an indoor/outdoor material, it is perfect for kitchen spills.
