Love it — even without a mat on a hardwood floor! Slides a little but not enough to pose a problem. It’s more than offset by the refreshing, natural look and minimalist feeling I get when I see or walk upon it. Have a 5x7 in our music room and also in a hallway off the foyer to the rear of the house. The edges on the hall runner have frayed a bit from lots of wear over 6 months, but it’s the kind of thing I can remedy easily if I just took a little time to snip off the frizzled ends of some yarns that escaped protection by the rather loose edge wrapping. No issues with the larger rug. Spot cleans well, but know that water or any liquid will easily soak through to the floor. You may want a waterproof rug mat if concerned about spills. However, I just tuck a dry cloth underneath to absorb excess water after a spot clean and find the rug dries quickly enough for me.
