My husband and I were extremely impressed with Barry Amiri and his business The Rug Affair on La Cienega in Los Angeles. First of all, he educated us about the process of yarn-dying and rug-making, explaining the differences in quality, materials and workmanship. Secondly, he had unique designs that we had not seen anywhere!!!--and we visited many rug dealers in a 100mile radius in search of a contemporary design with interesting pattern and colors. We truly appreciated his knowledge and gentle manner of salesmanship--working with us in design as well as cost. The rug we bought was certainly not one of the least expensive we found (nor most expensive), yet the value was great because we got much more quality for our money. He helped us construct a beautiful custom-sized, custom-colored rug for our living room that is truly a work of art.
