It was said to feature a non-slip backing but that definitely isn' so and it was the main reason I purchased this area rug. Also, I have been trying to get it to lay flat since October 12th and it is no where near laying flat. Not sure if it was due to the way it was tightly wrapped or what not. If I still had the wrappings and all, I would have sent it back but since I don't I'm out the money I spent for it. Not a happy customer.
