The rug business is full of liars and thieves and this company is no exception. It operates under…read moreat least three different names (rugemporium240 on Ebay, Rug Emporium, Fairfax Rug Gallery, and also, Azad's Oriental Rugs). There are various email addresses and dead website links to wade through if you need to contact anyone, as well. The biggest problem, however, is that the rugs I've purchased have all been fakes. They're not the worst rugs in the world -- they're fine. And if you get lucky on Ebay or are an aggressive negotiator who can deal with the condescension and slimey mansplaining that in-person interactions with Hassan (or whomever you have the misfortune of dealing with) are 100% likely to bring, you can even get a decent price in person, but don't be fooled -- you will not be getting an antique. If this company tells you you're getting a rug from the 1930s-1940s, you're probably going to get a modern rug that has been altered and messed with to look older. It's like distressed denim. This company will literally put fake wear-holes in a rug to try to make it look older. If the rug is said to be made with old vegetable dyes, good luck. A quick test with a damp paper towel will reveal chemical dyes, usually quite fresh, and not all all stable. They'll leach out with even the slightest bit of water and can easily ruin your floors. And if you watch closely, supposedly one-of-a-kind, SUPPOSEDLY antique, supposedly hand-woven "tribal" rugs, all said to be from "estate sales" will come up again and again for sale, often with the same photographs or only minor differences in person (different faux-distressing). They're just so obviously not what they are advertised to be. Based on how many rugs they sell, Fairfax (or is it rugemporium240, Rug Emporium, or Azad's Oriental Rugs? or something else?) probably uses the same factory (and probably child labor, by the way) to produce a lot of rugs which are all "distressed" to look old and sold to dumb Americans, like me). The biggest problem with this place is the staff (or maybe owner?) Hassan. What a blowhard. He's SO obnoxious. He lies about the cost of obtaining the rugs and if you have any questions or concerns he'll either lie or condescend to you or make you feel stupid or like you're wrong to question him. If you have a question he doesn't want to answer, he'll just ignore you. This is much worse if you're a woman. He was a lot more polite to my husband than he was to me, which was amusing since my husband knows nothing about rugs. Ebay sellers report he harasses them by phone if they leave negative reviews, and also, that he cancels auctions if he doesn't like the price they closed at. So sketchy. I don't know why Ebay doesn't ban him. All that said, I don't hate the rugs. It's disappointing that the company lies to sell them to people, but the prices aren't terrible and they cover the floor much like any rug would. These rugs are no worse than what you'd get at IKEA or Target, and the prices are similar. And you'll fool anyone who doesn't know anything about rugs (most people) into thinking you've got something older, so those are positives. The negatives, however, are many. Buyer beware. Like I say, the rug business is a sketchy one, and Fairfax is no exception.

I have bought dozens of rugs from these sellers; The carpets I have purchased, for the most part,…read moreare marvelous and at great prices. The problem with these one-star reviews is that the misguided people are thinking these carpets should compare to those made in the 18th Century for the aristocracy. They complain of moth holes and something like "the wrong size" was sent to them. These are mostly rugs that are tribal and village in origin, and they are oftentimes misshapen and irregular in color, weaving and material. Yes, some of them are very crude...and rustically beautiful. The problem many people have is they are not educated about rugs. They buy rugs and cry when the angles are off, the dimensions irregular and what they see as odd color variations. If you don't know how to buy carpets, maybe you should stick with IKEA.

I told Kevin many times not to clean my rug if they could not repair the rug for a reasonable cost and that I felt like I shouldn't have to pay but in the end I could not get my rug back without paying for this service that I did not want. The rug was never repaired. If you're curious about the repair quote it fluctuated from $600 to $3000 with each conversation I had with Kevin.

When I checked out on my last trip, the young gentleman at the register kept yawning and barely acknowledged me -- it came across as lacking basic manners and customer service. To make matters worse, a picture frame I bought turned out to be damaged in the corner when I unwrapped it at home. When I brought it back to return, the sales associate spoke to me in an accusatory tone and insisted that I had damaged it. I explained that I discovered the damage only after opening the packaging, but she refused to accept the return. Thankfully, I asked to speak with the Manager, who checked my receipt, realized I had purchased it just the day before, and resolved the situation professionally. I appreciated the manager stepping in, but the interaction should never have escalated to that point. Glad it was ultimately corrected, but the sales associate definitely needs better training in communication, customer courtesy, and how to handle returns without blaming customers.

Anyway...while he was at his appt., I decided to walk around the shopping center (FairLakes Promenade). I had seen Home Sense before but never got around to checking it out. Finally, got to do that today. At first glance, it looked like it was a furniture store. Yes, they have lots of furniture but a deeper look showed there was so much more. There are towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, household cleaning items, rugs and decorative items. My intention was just to look not buy. However, when I saw the food items, I realized that I needed a shopping cart. Things that caught my eye...imported pasta, pasta sauces, spices, sweets and a cleaning formulation for shower doors and mirrors. Truthfully, there were other items that attracted me but I exercised will power. For example, I saw a lovely vase but my sensible side said "we don't need another vase." There was artwork but sensible side said "We have enough of that and only so much wall space". When I went to check out, the cashier was friendly. I found out, when he tried to get me to sign up for a credit card, that they are part of a conglomerate that includes TJ Maxx. No, we don't need another credit card! My haul ended up costing $35 plus change. Once we were home, I showed my husband my haul. He asked what it cost and was pleasantly surprised. Aw, gee! I'm so proud of myself :D So, no regrets for paying Home Sense a visit!
