This is the first time we purchased a grip pad for our new area rug. I am happy we did, it makes an enormous difference in how the rug lays on the floor. Even with an ottoman being moved on top and people walking, the rug remains in place without any bunching. The pad itself was easy to work with; using scissors we easily trimmed it so it was exactly the size we needed. Great product, happy we made the purchase...happily encourage others to do the same.
