Used on hardwood stairs along with double face tape. Worked great. My dog loves it as she can go up and down the stairs with not difficulties.

Not smooth but fuzzy. Tightly woven but sheds terrible when vacuumed. I have to hand clean the vacuum roller when finished. 75% polypropylene / 25% wool. Not satisfied.

Just put this rug down in my newly renovated dining room and could not be happier. Stitching is super tight. Colors are more vibrant than on the website which is great. This is the second braided rug I've gotten from this site and only switched out because I changed the room paint color. The old one held up well even and is finding a new home at my son's. I expect this one will be just as good.
