I purchased this pad for a 6' hand-weaved rug to avoid slippage.  I love the quality (the waffle weave actually has a slight sticky feeling) and am considering purchasing another (to cut apart with a scissors) to make custom smaller sizes. I have not had good luck with rubber pieces or flexible tape for smaller area rugs -- my two indoor cats chasing each other often times mess up the placement of these rug.  The price is a great value.

Pros: Great price, good value, good quality
Cons: Upon opening there's a slight odor and it's folded tight in the packaging.  I unfolded and laid in on the carpet to air out and straighten it before using.
