I decided to order this Pad along with my order of 9 X 12 Safavieh Lyndhurst Rug. It came one day earlier than the rug, but we left it in the package until the rug arrived. How easy it was to unfold it... and cut the 2 inches off two sides(1 inch all around) after checking the measurements under the rug. Once cut... it was simple to roll out the carpet on top and both pieces lay flat on the floor... no problems. I like the extra cushion the felt pad gave to our rug. Nothing slips on the hardwood floor. Good price, too!
