Does the rubber backing really keep it from sliding?

The TPE rubber backing is the rug's main grip feature and is made to hold on tile, laminate and hardwood. On thick carpet or over a rug pad it grips less well.

Can it go in a washing machine?

It is described as washable, but a 10x13 ft rug will not fit most home machines. Spot cleaning and a commercial-size washer are the practical routes.

Is the low pile thick enough for a living room?

It is a flat, low-pile rug, so it adds pattern and grip rather than cushioning. Pair it with a pad if you want more softness underfoot.

Will it fit under furniture and doors?

The low pile is made to clear doorways, so chairs and sofas sit on it without wobbling. Measure your door clearance before placing it in a doorway.

How does it compare with a wool rug?

Wool is softer and more durable over decades but costs more and stains more easily. This rug is easier to clean and cheaper to replace, with a firmer feel.
