Golden Rug Company

After looking all over the Lower Mainland for a rug, I was disappointed. Most places have mass produced rugs made from synthetic materials — polypropylene, polyester, etc. The wool rugs I did find were insanely priced and u-​g-​l-​y.
Then I found Golden Rug’s website. Their inventory is gigantic. Make sure you view them on the website first to get an idea of what you like because they have so much more in storage. I went in twice to look for a rug for my home. I am so glad I did. The pieces in this store are art. You will appreciate them over time and they will probably become heirlooms.
The atmosphere is like walking into an Middle Eastern marketplace, but much more intimate because there are no crowds. I got the opportunity to talk to Laiq, a wonderful and kind gentleman. He brought out some rugs that I saw on the website the next day. Laiq educated me on rug types and materials. I really got to appreciate the amount of work that went into each rug. Each rug is made by hand and imported from various countries such as Iran, India and Afghanistan. You can really get some masterpieces here. A vegetable dyed and densely hand-​knotted rug was way out of my league. What I ended up with was a beautiful 8×10ft Indian hand knotted and chrome dyed floral rug made from wool. A one of a kind piece.
If you don’t want to settle for the machine-​made, mass-​produced, glued down, fossil fuel fiber rugs sold at your mega chain stores, I highly suggest you take a journey here. You’ll pay more, but it’s something you will appreciate and enjoy for a lifetime.
Suggestions for store:
— Put the prices on all the items on the website.

What an amazing experience!!!
I have not experienced such knowledge, service in a long time!!!
I came in for some ideas and ended up with 8 Gabbeh carpets that have added so much to my home. Ali Amini (owner) is very knowledgeable and was able to explain the differences between natural/​chemical dies and help me decide on what I need.
What an amazing art form.
I got a very nice price, great service and most of all added greatly to my home.
I had terrible experience with carpet shops before and this just changed my opinion of this trade.
Very happy Vancouver resident.
