Absolutely love this rug!! It really has the potential to brighten up a space. It laid flat within a day and has stood up wonderfully to our 3 year old! We walk in this area often as you’d imagine and haven’t had any issues whatsoever, granted it’s only been about a month but so far so good! No rug pad or anything underneath yet no issues with slipping, tripping, or sliding. Plus it’s very soft! Great buy
