Very nice pad. Thin as expected, but soft on one side and rough with a sort of coating on the other. I wasn't sure which side to face down on the floor, but found the coated side slid more on the hardwood, so put soft side down. This is not a "no slide" pad. Works for me because it is under a dining table and chairs. I did have to cut it down using strong sharp scissors. I bought 6 x 9 pad for 6x9 rug.
