    Aras carpets are now $ 83 a square foot. Ouch. I was looking at a couple of nice 9 x 12's for the store but that means a selling price of just under $ 9K and 8 x 10's at $ 6,600. Not sure the customers will be knocking down the doors on that. I may have to fly back over to Turkey and hit the rug merchant stores in person (tough duty, I know)

    Duane, do you have any recommendations for buying an oriental rug in High Point, NC. My husband and I will be in the area on April 13 but searching online has only come up with Zaki's. Surely there must be more than one shop?

    I've never been rug shopping in High Point, so I don't know. There are LOTS of places there that sell rugs, but since I have excellent sources already for my store, I don't spend the time to shop them at High Point Market. Good luck!

    Thanks, Duane. I'd much rather buy a rug from you, but we are trying to furnish a house in Chapel Hill so it would be difficult to purchase a rug here and try it out there. For the same reason I am leery of purchasing a rug online. However, I am taking your good advice to select the rug before the sofas or other furniture.

    I understand! Study up what to look for and remember that you buy them by the square foot price (take your calculator with you). Good luck!
