Let me start by saying this rug pad is a game-changer for anyone with hardwood or tile floors. I have a runner in front of my kitchen sink, and before this pad, it was constantly bunching up and sliding around. Not anymore! The grip is incredible—no more adjusting it every time I walk by.

The installation was super easy. I just rolled out the pad (after airing it out overnight—yes, there’s a strong smell initially, but it dissipates quickly), trimmed the edges to fit with scissors, and laid my rug on top. The open grid design is genius—it lets air circulate so dust doesn’t accumulate underneath.

One thing I didn’t expect? The extra cushioning! It makes standing at the sink way more comfortable, almost like a mini massage for my feet. And despite being thick, you can’t even feel it under the rug—just pure stability.

Pro tip: If you’re dealing with a large rug (like my 8x10), recruit a friend to help lay it flat. It’s doable solo, but teamwork makes it seamless. Also, avoid using it on vinyl or heated floors—stick to hardwood/tile for best results.

After two months of daily use (including kids and pets running over it), zero slipping or wear. Worth every penny!
