I actually don't have this yet. It must be separated from the runner, but if it's anything like the runner, 5 starts for this one. The price is amazing. The runner is very thick and cushy underfoot, and the colors are vibrant and gorgeous. Shipped in two days, I might add. I hope the UPS delivery man sees that the 5x8 rug didn't get on the truck, or was in the truck and he didn't realize it!
