Why is it so slippery? I am using it on a wood finish and it slides easily. Does it have a backing that I have to take off?

the smooth side goes down with the rougher side up - I am using it on wood desks and not having a problem

I am using it on finished wood and have had zero issues with the product slipping. No there was no adhesive or other backing that came on the product.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.

I always lay a towel on the top step just to catch the dripping water because of the grandkids, so I haven't noticed slippery steps at all. I'm not sure how they would be if I did not have the towel down on the top step, but we have never slipped on ours. It does have a grain texture.

The bottom side of mine is smooth and the top side is a matte type surface.Works for me and I have used it this way for 6 months with no problems.A very high quality product that does not slide around on my hardwood floor.

I have had no problem with it sliding off any kind of surface. The little rubber part in the middle of the back does a great job holding it in place, but still slides easy enough in the pocket.

It does not stick to the desk, wood or otherwise. some have a smooth back and others have a sponge backing. either way, it slides easily on the desk, so if you are looking for something that sticks......this is NOT the product.

I don't find it slippery at all, but if it's an issue for you. You may try wrapping it with 550 cord or par-cord or even the sports cloth as post by Adam. Another option is take a straight file and file groves in the grip to your satisfaction.

I haven't had any problems with it sliding. I'm still very happy with my purchase.

It isn't slippery but we find it to be very unstable, will stick to the traditional hammocks without the wooden braces in the future. The material has been easy to take care of and looks good, but it isn't in the direct sunlight in our backyard.

It slides somehow. Not quickly, so it's not slippery. But it shifts nonetheless.

No, it's not sticky. It's not very hard either. On top of a table will not slide. It just does the job for me.

No, the top surface is somewhat slick. No slip resistant coating like say a step ladder would have. I only use this as a stepstool in a very tight place, where my normal stepstool is too big. We use this more as a small portable side table, and, my husband uses for a seat while stoking fire in fireplace.

None. I'm using a steelseries with no rubber grips on the bottom and I have no issues with it sliding.

It's not slick, and its small diameter makes it even easier to grip than you might think. I think the exterior coating is anodized which in itself is not slippery.

No this is not slippery, but will move on the seat when you would like it to stay in place. It is good for a quick cover.

Not slippery at all. don't really have that problem with this one. the corners are also raised and those are the main contact points when you set the phone down so it doesn't slide around. hope that helps.

I have not had any issues with the mattress sliding when in the sofa position. I left my frame unfinished though and it is not as slippery as a urethane finish.
