Perfect runners for refreshing our farmhouse kitchen. True to the colors in the photos, tying in creams, blacks, brown hardwood floors, and brushed stainless appliances. Rustic texture but soft enough under foot. Probably wouldn't suit more formal areas but work really well in a casual kitchen.. One inch narrower than stated. The only downside is they reek of mildew from either the warehouse or shipping conditions. Sprayed them several times with fabric-safe, enzyme based pet odor remover and let dry on a covered porch before placing them inside. Can't wait for the other sizes to be restocked!
