I have a different cautionary note than other commenters. CAUTION IF YOU BUY A RUG WITH A DIRECTIONAL DESIGN I bought the Meridian Blue rug in 3x5 size. It fit my space as desired and went together as advertised. So far no issues with curling but I've not washed it yet, will do that this week for the first time. My problem is that the direction of the pattern on MY rug is opposite of the picture on their website. The longer I live with it the more I hate that it didn’t come the way I was expecting. I wrote to tell them what happened and the customer service response was “we appreciate your feedback”. That was it. No, ‘Let us correct our mistake’ or ‘please order another rug for your pad with our compliments”. This experience has really soured my opinion of this company. So if you’re planning on buying from this company be careful if your chosen design is directional in any way. - Otherwise, I like the rug so far .

(The site is weird today. I had deleted this duplicate post when I saw my first one appear yet here it is.) I might email the company but I doubt they'll be able to advise much. I've since found this disclaimer on their website in their FAQs. Don't know how I missed it initially. Sorry to hear you've not found their service prompt, eld6161. I had emailed them with a billing query and they answered me promptly. I'll check the floor periodically but it would be great if customers chime in here. Thanks for your feedback, jmck_nc. ETA: That screen capture isn't very legible, is it? Ugh. Here's the answer to Is it safe for hardwood floors? "Our latex-free TPR backing material won’t stain or leave residue on hard surface floors or vinyl. However, we always recommend double-checking with the flooring manufacturer to be sure."

My ruggables are awesome. I think they have changed them from years past, because the new (much thicker) pads they have keep those babies down. The only time I really have to straighten it is when I vacuum them. They wash nicely too! I have another one behind my bar and have been known to spill red wine back there and it all comes out great.

Please post an image of the floor area in question from 5'-6" above the floor surface.
