We've only had this rug pad for about 1 month, but it's been fine so far. It's very grippy- our 2 large dogs play on the runner above the mat several times daily. It hasn't moved around really at all. It doesn't leave any film or residue on the hardwood floors underneath like some rug pads do. We were looking for a rug pad to prevent slipping, not necessary add any padding- so this pad seems to fit that bill. It did have a mild odor (not necessarily a bad smell) when first unwrapped and needed a few days for off-gasing, but that's kind of expected.
