Wasnt aware of this place until we went to the Design Show and saw some of their beautiful silk carpets on display. Since we were undecided which carpets would work best they loaned us 4 carpets to try out in our space. We ended up buying 3 of the 4 as they were exactly what we had envisioned for our look. And for visiting them at the show they gave us a discount. Nice. These are high quality carpets with unique but elegant designs. Excellent service from Aerin through out the process.

Extremely please with Amala Carpet, from start to finish. Was looking for a custom round carpet, and they totally knew how to help us manage design, pick a style and type of construction that met our needs. It was a pleasure to work with Amala Carpets - thank you

After over a year of having the rug in direct sun, there has been no indication of bleaching. I have a dog as well, and repeated vacuuming (twice weekly with a Miele at full power) did not deteriorate the carpet in the least bit. Service was impeccable, with a customer first approach - I had a house visit with the samples I picked. Definitely a good product and good experience. 5/5
