About 2 years ago, I purchased a rug from the "O," but decided to use a rug pad that I already owned. My old rug pad was not high quality, but it was free to me. Well, I got what I paid for!! This rug pad fits perfectly, so the rug sits smoothly on top. Additionally, my rug no longer travels when I walk over it. Finally, the price is right. This is a good value for me on many fronts.
