I bought this as a stage rug to keep my pedals from moving and my feet comfy. It does that surely but it has a magic way of establishing a 'stage area' during my single gigs in pubs etc. I've tried hi-vis tape and all kinds of things but this rug has a magical ability to keep punters off. Aside from that inexplicable and most welcome feature the rug is very well made. the rubber backing makes it extremely stable. I use it as a frontman doing festival and theatre shows. I've danced on it, jumped on it and spun on it and it has never budged. Easy to lift, shake off and roll up. This one is a keeper.
