I'm not one for usually leaving reviews but after I found the exact colour and size kitchen runner I was looking for this company deserves one. 1...Fast delivery and the packaging was first class. 2...The pic shows how well the rug cleans up after a spilled pot of cherry yogurt...no marks! 3...The rug backing prevented an overflow from the washing machine seeping through to the wooden flooring. 4...Best so far is when next doors cat makes the occasional visit and unless I catch her at it she does rollabout on the rug with unsheathed claws and as yet no pulls from her - so very well made. Well pleased with purchase.
