I thought from the pictures that this was going to have actual yarn pile, but in actuality it is more like a thicker version of the soft fuzzy side of velcro. In fact, the scratchy side of velcro sticks to it quite well which has turned out to be kind of handy for my purposes. But it is definitely more like thick fuzzy velcro than anything resembling actual carpet. That said, it is soft and thicker than I thought it would be. The adhesive didn't always seem to cover the whole tile (some didn't seem to have adhesive on the edges) but even so, it does seem to stick very well - we haven't had any issues with tiles lifting. We are using this to cover an old plywood drumset cart used by a marching band and it has provided the traction needed to keep the drum set from sliding around. Cutting it was relatively easy with a utility knife and scissors, but it did tend to gum up the blades quickly so keep some solvent handy to clean the blades off as you go (we used goof off). Be careful to lay them all in the same direction or you will definitely see color differences. For the price, I think these were a great solution to our needs.
