I like the new rug but it will not stay flat. It keeps sliding on our carpet. I purchased a pad that was made to use with this rug and that can be used on carpeting. The pad is two sided. One side felt and the other rubber. I put the felt side down as instructed and the rubber side up for this new rug. The rug still moves on top of the rubber. I placed a review for the pad already. I may flip the pad to see how it works or purchase a new pad completely. I really like the rug but if I can’t get it to lay flat I may return it.
