2004_11_23_rugco.jpgWe have been having a hard time finding good, affordable rugs in this town.

Yesterday we found a new entree in the middle to upper ground: The Rug Company. Located in Soho and run by nice, unstuffy folks (Brits actually), they feature a wide variety of contemporary rugs in wool and silk with prices ranging from @ $40 to $135 per square foot (8x10 = $3,200 - $10,800).

2004_11_23_rug2.jpgWhat sets The Rug Company apart is their Designer Collection by well known designers such as Paul Smith, Diane Von Furstenberg and Allegra Hicks among others, who have done some god awful and some beautiful things with rugs. The variety is fun. In addition, you can customize your own rug by size and color and it won't run you any more.

NYMag says: Editor's Pick 2005 - The Rug Company’s portfolio of designs will give the space a needed 'playful, colorful' jolt.

Why aren't they Rugmark certified that they don't use child labor? Does that contiribute to their affordability?

Plenty of companies with great design are certified. www.rugmark.org.

Hey there... the ratings box up above is really a great idea... Maybe a box for customer service would be something to add!

They don't use child labor. I have been to this store and they have beautiful rugs which are NOT that affordable . They have expensive rent to pay. You can get the same types of rugs for less right on the web
