Best hack I found for runners: use hardwood and keep them just a hair under-width, then make up the difference with blue painters tape. Cheap. Easy to make. Never have to fight with getting the width just perfect and, if they shrink or swell, you just add or subtract layers of tape. Works like a charm!
I’ve got a couple not-cheap metal sets, a plastic set or two, a perfectly fit hardwood set that took forever to get right, and several with the painters tape hack 👍🏼
