I really do love the colors of this rug and would give it 5 stars if it were truly a no-slip rug.  I bought a 2x3, 8' round and a 5x8. I have a rug pad already for the smaller size, but now must buy a one for the larger size as it sits at the bottom of some stairs and in front of the back door pool entrance.  I really didn't want a rug that required a pad at the back door.  Oh well...
