So the instructions that come with this rug to install / apply the adhesive to your floor is very easy to follow so the rug does not move.   I put this right in front of my kitchen sink.  Now I don't do alot of dishes because I have a dishwasher, but when I am standing on it you defintely can tell you are slightly elevated and for me personally it wasn't super comfortable for me to stand on because I felt like I was standing on a hard flat surface, though I do think this is a good size carpet and do like the design itself.
