This rug is terrific under a kitchen table, where chairs slid over the bamboo easily, the rug doesn't wrinkle or warp and it is super easy to sweep with a broom or vacuum.  Ours gets a lot of very hard wear and it lasts about 18 months before the bamboo starts to split from the chairs sliding over them constantly.  Nevertheless, for the cost, it is fantastic and I have bought this same rug 3 times for the area, as it is the cleanest and most practical solution for sparing the wood floors in a busy kitchen.
