I've never purchased from SmartBargains, but I did want to let you know that the link box comes up when you get to the preview-your-post page. I have been told in the past that it was removed from the front page of each forum to minimize intrusion by automated spammers that will post a single URL dozens of times.

Here is a link that might be useful: Teeda's potential rug

Thanks, johnmari. I've posted many times and never had this problem. Was wondering if it was my computer, which has been acting very squirrely lately. Anyhow, thanks for posting the link!

I clicked on the link and got 'page no longer available'. Maybe you got the last one?

I couldn't get my link to rugs-direct to work either. I just cut and pasted the url but then it would give me a page error on the rugs direct site.

Odd.

Anyway, I have never heard of Smart Bargains. No help there.

whenicit, when I bought the rug it was the last one left. I'm glad to see they actually did pull the link, as I hope it means that they were legit when they advertised their "get it before they're gone" deal!

Hiyas Teeda!

Being the anal (jes a leetle bit *grin*) person that I am, I was determined to get a rug for our bedroom re-do that I was totally in love with not just something I'd settle for.

After searching brick and mortar stores all over a 75 mile radius of my home, I went to dozens of sites online with the same questions:
How is the rug made?
What are ALL the colors in the rug?

I did NOT want black, had to be dark brown, Nor any form of red or burgundy/wine/cranberry, had to be dark terra cotta or rust.

The nice woman at Smart Bargains was the only one who had the patience to work with me via email for almost two weeks before I made my final decision.

The rug came and I was floored/flabbergasted/excited beyond belief!
It was everything I wanted and even more!

The rug isn't in the bedroom yet. I unrolled it to take a pic so I can show you the design.
Being I wanted a rug with all the colors in my new-to-us after 25 years bedroom, I couldn't be happier with the colors and the quality.
Not to mention the great price and fast shipment!

I have ordered rugs from Overstock dot com also with the same fast ship, good quality and great reduced price.
But the rug for our bedroom had to be practically perfect for us and Smart Bargains' rug fit the bill to a T.

Oh, and I've purchased other things (drapery, bedding, kitchenware, etc) from both Smart Bargains and Overstock and so far have never been disappointed.

Forgot to include a pic of the back of the rug---the hem? where it's been stitched.
Very close-together stitching.

Thanks, amity. Glad to hear you had such a good experience.

Teeda (shivering as I type--it's g-- awful cold here!!)
