## Community Q&A

**Q: What brand runner is this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This runner is Degas from the Atelier Collection made by Stanton.  Check out the link = http://www.stantoncarpet.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=574&SKUID=2624
We service the Eastern MA area, so if you are interested in getting this for your project, email us at customerservice@elfmans.com

**Q: Looking for a soft hall runner in neutral tones.  How thick is this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Stock Stanton Calistoga Autumn Wilton Carpet

A: Hi grammypammy1, this is a standard wilton construction loop carpet which is about 3/8" to 1/2" thick. It is not a deep squishy pile rug, but the high quality wool fiber is very soft & feels great underfoot.  Email me directly at customerservice@elfmans.com with details & a size & I am happy to work together pricing for you.
