I purchased a 5x8 rug in this same pattern several years ago from a discount store, and have always loved it... but it was slightly too small for the room it was in. I ran across this runner, and had the brilliant idea to seam my existing rug and this runner together, to make the larger rug I've been wanting.The first runner I received was the wrong color, but Overstock.com's excellent customer service team helped me quickly and easily exchange my runner for the runner in the correct color.This rug is absolutely beautiful. It is soft underfoot, and durable. (The rug I already had has survived for about 5 years with a toddler and a dog). It is easy to clean, and the colors and pattern easily hides any stains that might get on it. The colors shown in the photograph on the Overstock.com web-site are absolutely true to life.I highly recommend this runner, and Overstock.com! Thank you!!
