Great value. It's just what I expected.  I am using it in my kitchen without a rug pad and it has worked well for several weeks now.  It moves around a little, but it's not bothersome.  I didn't want the added thickness of a rug pad beneath it.  I haven't notice any "shedding" of fibers.  So, overall, I'm very pleased and fully expect to get my money's worth, and then some, for as long as it lasts.
