"I am very, very impressed with The Rug Mine!! I received my rug today and I am THRILLED!! It is beautiful and fits my space perfectly!! Their customer service is top notch and the rugs are great quality . . . it is hard to find an online company that truly cares about the customer’s experience. I recommend this company 100%!! Both Quality and price point are top notch!!"

"Bought two rugs from The Rug Mine ... They are gorgeous, we absolutely love them both! They were shipped quickly, packaged well, and are amazing quality with beautiful, unique colors. We had a video call before the rugs were shipped to verify the colors from multiple angles under different lighting, which I would recommend taking advantage of. One of them looked more coral in the photos but more orange in the video, which was actually perfect because we wanted it to be more orange. Not cheap, but worth every penny. A+++ would buy again."

"I spent 2 months searching through well over a thousand rugs before I stumbled across The Rug Mine and found exactly what I was looking for. The owner, Nargis, and her associate, Maisy, were an absolute pleasure to work with! They were very friendly, personable, and quick to respond to my many questions. After purchase, we received the rug within a few days. It looks exactly like the pictures, which has not always been the case when I’ve ordered online in the past. The quality is incredible and feels plush under the feet. it truly is a piece of art and makes the room. This will be the first place I look when we need shop for our next rug!"

"I love my new rug! Nargis was friendly, quick to respond to my questions and extremely helpful online. Since I live nearby, I made an appointment to go into the showroom to see the rugs in person. The video/pictures she has posted are fantastic - a visit to the showroom or a Facetime is even better. She helped me narrow down a few choices from online and decide which would go with my furniture. This particular rug that I bought is not quite as finely knotted as some of her other rugs. This is lucky for me because I have senior dogs who need a little traction under their feet. The rug can look dramatic from one vantage point and pale and soft from the other. It is beautiful and I cannot stop looking at all the colors. Thank you Nargis!"

"The rug is absolutely beautiful. I really appreciated the FaceTime call before it shipped to see all the details and feel really good about the purchase. It was packed very well and looks amazing! Highly recommend."

"This rug has absolutely exceeded my expectations! It's gorgeous - a luxurious piece of art that ties everything together in the room and brings my home to a different level. Nargis is also one of the most exceptional sellers I've ever worked with. She truly cares that you are satisfied and has helped me so much through a video consult and by giving suggestions about what would work together. She never tired of my question and there were many!The next time I need a rug (or maybe just want one more), I will be back. :) Thank you so much for everything Nargis."
