I bought this lovely rug recently to go into my newly painted bedroom. However, when I rolled it out and tried walking on it with bare feet, I found it to be way too slick and slippery. The polyester fibers that undoubtedly make it so soft were, in my case, hazardous for nighttime trips to the bathroom I was sure to make, so I had to return it. This is a handsome rug which I had high hopes for and might work well for others under circumstances different than my needs.
