by | Oct 12, 2018

Buying rugs makes many people nervous.

 

Buyers are worried if what they are being told is true. Buyers are worried about being ripped off. Buyers are worried if they are making a smart purchase for their home.

Those are valid questions to have because there is very little education out there on even the basics of buying rugs.
