They were very helpful. They called to say they noticed I was in driving range of their showroom if I would like to see the rug in person. I did! I am always very nervous about ordering online and several photos of this rug from other companies looked significantly different, greenish rather than gray, creams and golden beiges. Seeing the rug and feeling it’s incredible softness gave me confidence I had found “the one”! I also received a free pad and no shipping charges. They offered to wrap it up and take it with me, which was wonderful for me, as if it had shipped, I might have missed delivery due to being out of town. I am soooo happy with my rug from IR&D!
