Product Overview
The Veken Rug Gripper Pad has an open grid that allows for airflow as well as gripping the bottom of your rug or runner to prevent it from sliding around on your hardwood floor.
The Veken Rug Gripper Pad is also able to be cut with scissors so you can trim it to fit the size and shape of any rug or mat.
Customers Say
Buyers have stated they have a lot of success in stopping their rugs from slipping and bunching on hard wood, tile, etc. with this product.
The fact that the backing can be easily trimmed with scissors has been another advantage as many people have rugs that do not come in a standard size.
People generally prefer this type of product due to its ability to provide grip without the added thickness by allowing air to flow through the grid.
Most of the negative comments received about this product involved an overwhelming initial scent, that the backing had arrived with folds/creases already made into the material and some consumers felt that the grip was somewhat diminished when placed on very slippery surfaces.

Bottom Line
The Veken Rug Gripper Pad is an inexpensive solution that provides a much better stability for area rugs and runner on hardwood or other hard surfaces. It has many good qualities such as its strong non-slip hold, easy to cut for custom sizing, large grid openings, and it is thin low-profile. There are a few negative aspects of this product such as possible off-odor at first when opening, creases from shipping, and varying degree of traction on certain extremely slick flooring.
