| Looking for an inexpensive but good quality wool area rug for bedroom. Anyone ever bought from any of the online carpet sellers like http://www.rugs-direct.com or http://www.superiorrugs.com? The prices seem (in some cases) too good to be true. |

| I've ordered from http://www.rugsusa.com which I think is probably similar to these and I was happy with the rug I got--the real problem for me with these sites is that the colors don't always look the same on the computer as they do in real life, so you have to be careful about that. The rug I bought was also not wool, it was synthetic fiber which is automatically cheaper so if the wool prices seem too good to be true, it's probably not the highest quality wool and may not hold up well to heavy traffic. But for light traffic areas you'd probably be fine. |

| Most online rug sellers can be trusted, but the best I dealt with is Natural area rugs
I've been using them for about a year now and they got great quality rugs and some of the best customer service Ive ever encountered
check them out at http://naturalarearugs.com/ and read their testimonials if you don't believe me |

| When I shop for an area rug I start shopping locally to find the rug first just to ensure that it is exactly what I want, then I pick about 2 or 3 rugs that I really like and start my online search. I do this because the first time I ordered an area rug online I found this company http://www.floormall.com and their pricing was so good they had 25% off their already low pricing on top of free shipping but when I recieved a blue rug instead of black I knew I should have shopped locally first just to see the rug first and even though it was my fault the company was very understanding and allowed me to just exchange the rugs but if I would have shopped around locally first and found the rug online I would have had my rug in time for our dinner party. |

| Walmart and Target have affordable area rugs on their websites too--they have some in the stores so you can see colors, etc but they have larger sizes available on the websites than what you can find in the stores. I picked up a couple room-sized area rugs for very reasonable prices from them. |

| Hi there,
I used http://www.beyondrugs.com recently and was very impressed with their service and the extensive collection. I've used http://www.rugs-direct as well and have had no problems with them either. I'd recommend them both very highly. |

| I have only used http://www.rugsale.com but found that if you call in and talk with someone you can get a better price. I know it is true with this site but it is probably true with all of them.
ecrane3, most of these sites probably do this but they said I had 30 days to check it out and return it. I think you have to pay shipping to return it, I’m not sure I didn’t need to do it. But color on each computer can be different so be sure they have a reasonable return policy.

| The true test of any company is how they respond if their is a problem and http://www.rugsale.com took care of the issue I had with my area rugs no questions asked. When they say 30 day trial on any area rug they mean it. |

| Do be careful when you're shopping online! We purchased flooring from Floormall.com aka Hardwoodbrokers.com and had an awful experience. The flooring was defective and the company kept thousands of dollars. I wrote the gorey details here: http://www.epinions.com/content_316164050564
But please never spend more online than you can afford to lose!

| I know I'm a little late contributing but I was looking for the same thing and found this site so maybe there are others out there with the same question. I bought a rug from http://www.rugbin.com From what I can tell it's a newer site but the rug was priced lower than other sites and their customer service was awesome. |

| I've bought two different rugs from to different online retailers. First one was good (AWcarpet.com) but I found AreaRugsClub.com a better website to navigate and they have better prices, especially on Karastan rugs. I highly recommend Area Rugs Club and you can usually find coupons for their area rugs online.

| We just recently purchased a new home in Maine and the whole house is wood flooring which gets very cold up here. We searched everywhere for quality area rugs vs quality and after finding http://www.accentarearugs.com/ and giving them a call for several rugs that we could not find on thier site, they got the rugs for us and the best price we could ever dream of.

| We have been looking for quality area rugs for our home and we looked many sites online...some of top sites were not so easy to browse...after looking for long...we just recently purchased few rugs for our new home at http://www.jbbdecor.com
prices were affordable and their site is clean and so easy to navigate..so much of the high quality rug dealers online... http://www.jbbdecor.com has almost same pricing but their service is much better and faster. looking for more rugs to buy again from same place. |

| Boy, this U.S. economy has really made a difference in how businesses are pricing their products. One area rug website I have dealt with, http://www.designerfloor.com just lowered their prices quite a bit. An 5 x 8 area rug once purchased for $89.00 is now only $55.00. Wow. That is amazing.

| World of Rugs & Furniture is a great store.
They carry anything from cheap (machine made) rugs to super expensive (wool / palace size / antique) rugs.
They even offer a 110% price guarantee! I found a rug on another site, that was cheaper then what they initially offered. I called them back, showing where I found the rug cheaper and they offered it to me for that price and took an additional 10% off!!
Not only were they great with the pricing, their staff is very knowledgable/professional. They truly know EVERYTHING about rugs!
The way I found them was via their website: http://www.worldofrugs.com/
Once you're used to perfect pricing, quality products and very professional staff... It's hard to go somewhere else ;o) |
