This is a great Rug Pad.  I've purchased others in the past that just don't hold the rug(s) in place and seem to over short time spans lose there "grip" but this one has done well.  It holds a 2 by 8 foot runner in place in a very active kitchen walk way.  I'm ordering a second one and not bothering with going to a nearby store for convenience.  I'd rather go with the sure thing.
