I have a entrance hallway right off my driveway stairs that is hardwood slabs, and I have been considering getting a runner rug. I understand the hard floors on an entrance, and it connects to the same flooring in the kitchen. But the idea of something softer, and warmer appeals to me. It would need to be stain resistant and cleanable even though there is a welcome mat at the start of the stairs, and outdoor carpet on the risers and landing. Not a lot gets tracked in, but something that might take any leftover moisture would also be helpful. I ran across this runner rug while searching here on Amazon, so I ordered it It arrives sealed in plastic and folded. Once you cut the plastic and remove it the immediate reaction is that the surface is very soft and the backing and edge stitching substantial. Even though it was folded for shipping, and the instructions talk about mitigating the temporary creases, the creases were not very pronounced. I suspect you could just lay it out as is (as I did for the pictures) and leave it. I did roll it up as suggested and will see if I feel it needs anything else before use While a little bit wider and longer would be nice, I wasn’t intending to carpet the area. The size makes it more versatile, as you could use it for a kitchen or bathroom mat, in the laundry room, etc. Anywhere with hard floors where you’d like a softer, warmer surface to stand/walk on. I imaging it could also help muffle some sound At its 'as advertised' size, it is a quality item. The pattern is nice and the colors vivid. It’s thin enough to allow doors to open, yet thick enough to be able to really feel the difference underfoot. The backing is non slip and will keep the rug in place For it’s High Quality, Superior Construction, Bright Colors, and Super Soft feel I am giving it 5 stars Read more
This is an affordable, well-made, and versatile runner rug. It works equally well as an area rug or a hallway runner, whether placed beside your bed, in the kitchen, or anywhere else you need a touch of warmth. Its design complements most décor styles with ease. I live in a converted schoolhouse that’s over 120 years old. Only a few rooms are carpeted; the rest are wood or linoleum, so I use a lot of area rugs to create a cozier feel. I was looking for a rug long enough to place in front of my washer and dryer, and this one is perfect. I was impressed the moment it arrived. Because my laundry room also serves as a mudroom, I wanted a busy pattern with a dark background to help hide dirt that gets tracked in. This rug delivers beautifully. The floral design is attractive and elegant, with rich, classy colors. It also features a non-slip backing that keeps it securely in place, and the edges are neatly finished with overlock stitching. The best feature, though, is the feel of the pile. It’s incredibly soft—almost like velvet—and very comfortable under bare feet. Your feet will thank you. Despite the quality, this rug is a great value. It isn’t overly thick, which means it works well in front of doors; the door opens over it easily without catching. My only complaint is that I wish it had been shipped rolled instead of folded, as it takes some time for the creases to flatten out. That said, it’s a minor issue and certainly not a deal breaker.

This is more floral than I thought, having only seen the tiny thumbnail before choosing. Doesn't really match my decor, well... it does match the kitchen curtains I reviewed, so that's where I put this rug. It stays where you put it, the weight being sufficient, haven't had to adjust it once in the week I've been walking all over it. My feet are dry, rough, cracked: I go barefoot year-round, gets worse in winter: occasionally my feet stuck a little to this carpet (yet not to any of the others I have), got a little snagged on some of the threading, not terribly so, just barely noticeably so. The feel is soft, a little squishy. The fold-lines flattened-out themselves within a week or so. The dark colors hide any obvious dirt, detritus. Stitching: standard, not extra durable, no extra threads at the corners (where that would be nice). Vacuums easily. Water beads upon it, takes some time to soak in; easily wiped off, spot-cleaned. Overall– Four Stars: edge-stitching could be better, I foresee the carpet threads start to pile-up the more roughly it is walked over, maybe eventually starting to snag, pull-up more, for more to snag, anon.

I ordered "Runner Rug for Hallyway, 2x6 Non-Slip Washable Kitchen Runner Rug, Ultra-Thin Floral Stain Resistant Carpet, Non-Shedding Soft Runners for Indoor Entryway Kitchen Laundry Bathroom, Dark Blue" and it has worked very well for my needs. I have an older dog who needs extra traction and still has the occasional accident, so rugs in my home need to be washable, durable, and able to stay in place, and this one does all of that. The color is darker than what I usually choose, but that has turned out to be a benefit because it hides dirt and wear better than lighter rugs. The non-skid backing is soft and flexible, which makes it easy to fit into the washing machine. I remove the agitator, but even without doing that the rug is flexible enough to work around one. When I first opened the package there was a very faint smell, but I had to put my nose right up to the backing to notice it and it was not strong or unpleasant. I wash everything before using it, and this rug washed well in cold water and looked great after air drying. It lays flat without curling or bunching, and the stitching and overall construction look solid and even. It is made in China. This rug will be washed often in my home, and it feels like it is made to handle frequent washing. For the price of just under $24, I think it is a very good value. Read more
