Looks like I'll have to buy the non slip stuff then. As said, its quite pricey
Rugs can be a trip hazard, but i am not elderly, i have 2 messy kids, 2 cats, and rugs will prolong the life of my new carpet!:) Plus i like how they break up a large expanse of carpet. I<3 my turkish rugs

I tried that too and the rug just ripped around the screw.0
