This will prevent a rug from slipping around, but is not an actual rug pad...as in there is no cushion/padding to the product. If you need it for something purely outdoors, such as a patio or outside deck, it will be ideal. I however am using it for an enclosed entry porch and want something closer to an actual rug pad that still will help the rug dry fast and prevent mold and yuck. I ended up ordering this product instead: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Exterior-Non-slip-Rug-Pad-4-x-6/5045082/product.html
The actual product itself was not the exact size stated. It actually looks as if someone just cut it off a larger portion with a pair of scissors...it was even cut crooked (on a slant) so the edges would need to be trimmed to fit correctly under a specific rug. All that, however, would not prevent it from working as stated. The price has increased since I purchased it, and I'm not sure this product is worth the higher cost.
