I bought the 5x8 living room rug. I loved it so much that I decided to buy the matching runner. I'm glad that I choose the 9' long (choices are 7', 9', and 11'), it fits perfectly. Definitely quality made, durable and really gorgeous. Having both rugs gives my home a rich and finished look. Heavy enough that it doesn't slip or move around like most runners do. Easy to vacuum on the high rug setting. I have no doubt that it will stand up to my gang of teens, dogs, cats and a trip prone husband.
