The Dilly on The Carpet

Well, here it is! I don't think it looks too bad, but you can definitely see the seam lines. I don't think that will make as much of a deal if we are getting two different colors anyway because the seam lines will be obvious. I did read the directions and they say you are supposed to put it on concrete, wood or something hard (not the existing carpet)! I don't forsee having huge problems if we just put it over the carpet we currently have because it doesn't slip too easy. I will have all of you come in and let me know what you think, but if we had it wall to wall, I don't see it slipping or bunching at all (unless someone does it on purpose and we are working with teens). It is going to be pretty expensive, so we will have to decide on this. I almost think it would be cheaper to just rip up the old carpet, put down tack strips and do it the right way, but then we lose the cool checker board pattern we are looking for. I am at a loss, so I am relying on you all to make the decision. let me know what you think. Thanks again.
