Nice rug (like the earthy colors and good quality). I am using this in a different capacity than normal (percussion rug for stage). The rug is a little stiff, so I am rolling it in different directions and laying it flat with some weight (books). The fact that the rug is round and about 5' works great for me (tight stages). There is no underlay anti-slip (rubber base-polyester) padding, but I am sitting on it so it works (will not move). For home use you may want to purchase a base like the Strong Grip Polyester Pad to keep the rug from sliding.
