Good choice for a small rug to cover area of carpet. The nonstick backing keeps it from sliding. I wanted a thin rug so as to not have any tripping hazard, this works well. I subtracted one star because the photograph online reflects a more muted pattern than it actually is. See photo. In reality, the darkest pattern and light pattern are more prominent. NOTE THAT WHILE THIS RUG IS MACHINE WASHABLE IT CANNOT BE PUT IN THE DRYER. because it’s a small rug that’s not a problem. I can easily put it on my back patio to dry after washing.
