    I use them all the time,I have one on my buffet in the dining rm, and use them on the din/rm table for the season or holiday or when the mood strikes me. Also use one under the flat screen tv in livingroom. But, I must confess to my other obessions besides fabric, quilting & buttons..... vintage tablecloths and linens. Vintage or new I love tablerunners. Short answer ! Yes :-D

    I don't use them. I'm anti-clutter and anti-dusting. I'm as minimal as possible.

    I have two buffets, one smaller than the other, that I use some type of cloth on at all times.
    I currently have the Summer swap runner on my dresser.
    I usually have one on the coffee table, but the cats have been sleeping on it so no runnere right now.
    I will be making more for the seasons. I do have some nice ones for Christmas and fall.

    Yes, I always have one on my dining room table, on both of the buffets and one on a table in the family room. Never thought to put one on a coffee table. However my coffee table is a glass top and I'm not sure how I would like that but I think I will give it a try.

    I have 2 long side tables & I use table runners on them all the time.
    I used to buy woven ones at TJMaxx etc but now (of course) mine will be quilted. My BFF has asked for one for her birthday, so I am looking for patterns. Napkins to match for the dining table for her!

    I use them for holidays, I get a lot of compliments on them. People seem to like the touch the runners bring to the festivities. Plus, they don't get soiled like a table cloth does. I like to layer them over a table cloth, or put them on side tables or on the dessert cart.
