Fantastic store run by wonderful and very patient family. They helped me look at multiple rugs and narrow it down to 2. They then brought them to my home to see how they would look. They really went out of their way to make me comfortable with my purchase and also helped battle a stubborn sectional to have it placed perfectly.

Shawn (owner) is awesome! He is patient and willing to help you find the best quality for your budget. He'll teach you how to spot quality and even bring the rug to you to see it in your space prior to purchase. Great service, great guy! I love my new (to me) rug and can't wait to watch it patina over the next couple decades!

I stopped in to browse rugs yesterday. I knew the approximate size and color, but not exactly. Dileeb was extremely helpful in helping me come up with the correct size and color combination. Dileeb was very knowledgable and was able to easily navigate through all of the rugs to find the perfect one. I was told to try the rug at home, should I need another or different rug, all I had to to was call. I brought the rug home, somewhat skeptical. Upon placing it in my living room I immediately knew that Dileeb was correct in his advice and helpful selection. The price was a bit more than I anticipated

I went into Rita's looking for a rug for my living room. I was immediately approached by Shan and his assistant. Both were eager to assist me. They went right to the pile of rugs they thought would be of most interest to me. I showed them what my living room looks like and they offered suggestions to me. Shan has very good taste. He picked out the perfect rug for me. Shan is super nice, knowledgeable, helpful, and overall he's a pleasure to do business with. I will definitely go back and do business with Shan at Rita's.

I had been looking for a 9'x12' oriental rug and matching runner, for several weeks. When I visited Rita Oriental Rugs; Dileep was patient and helpful; I was particularly taken with the range and quality of the rugs in inventory. I described what I was looking for and Dileep, who must have a photographic memory for where each rug is in the store, told me he knew exactly the rug that I was describing, and he dug deep into a tall pile of rugs, and pulled out a rug that was exactly what I was looking for. Cost is an important consideration but Dileep arranged for a very fair price. He

My girlfriend and I wanted a rug for our living room and one for another room. I measured both rooms before we went. We were greeted at Rita with such friendly advice and expert knowledge of what size and type of rug would work best in each room. We got them home, laid them out, and I can say that they were 100% right on everything! We are so happy with our contemporary looking rugs. They totally transformed the rooms we placed them in.
They also had great deals as well. I will definitely be going back when I need another rug. It may be sooner than I thought as I'm now wondering what other

The service and consideration that we received from Shan was outstanding. He listened to us when we tried to describe the rug we were searching for. He went out of his way to locate the perfect rug and it was exactly what we were looking for. We appreciate his patience and kindness through this process and will love our rug for many many years!

Very accommodating and very honest. They tell you exactly if the rugs are not the best quality. We bought our rugs but didn’t like them and they tell us they can refund the money right away. The owner suggested other rugs that could work better for our home and even offered to take the rugs home with us so we can try it for a week or so. Priced right and they tell you right away if price is negotiable or not. Very rare you can find stores like this one. I sure enjoyed talking to Shawn, the owner. will be back here for more. I highly recommend this place!

Such an incredible experience over the past few days! I stumbled upon Rita Oriental Rugs on Saturday and popped in just to take a peek. After 30-minutes with Shan, the owner, he was able to help me appropriately choose the size of rug needed, type of rug to work best with my layout (tip: a sectional sofa works best with a repeating design!), and offered fantastic opinions on color/designs/material.
I took home three smaller rugs to test out in my kitchen (I kept two and they are beautiful!). They even provided free rug pads!
I'm still deciding between my larger area rug, but the service

Sean was just lovely to work with. I checked the website and found a rug I fell in love with. Naturally, I have such great taste that it was WAY out of my price range. No matter, Sean walked over to a different pile of rugs and found one in the same style well within my price range. He seems to have an almost photographic memory of rugs in his shop, very impressive! The prices can't be beaten and it's clearly a family operation with deep roots here. I will be returning to clean an old Persian rug I own and for any new rugs I might purchase. Thank you!

The rug I bought looks perfect! They said that they would hold off on charging my credit card for 3 days and I could just bring it back if I didn’t like it. They even offered to let me take several rugs home so I could see which one I liked best. I’ll be back to see them since I need a few more rugs. The staff was very welcoming and patient with me and my indecisiveness.

My husband and I just bought an absolutely beautiful rug at Rita's at an amazing price tonight. Sean assisted us and his team pulled out all the rugs we were interested in. Amazing and knowledgable service. Don't waste your time at the big retailers or anywhere else in the city! Rita's is all about personally selected high quality rugs, excellent service, a great price and you feel as though you just acquired true art!

Like they need another five star rating.
Shopping anywhere else, especially a chainstore, is stupid when this place exists. Prices range from $200 to over 5000, they worked with my price range (got a rug for 700).
They let me take three rugs home to try in my condo and return the other two. They let me keep a rug for three days before I decided it didn't look right in my house and still let me return it. I could not be happier with my 8x11 area rug and the service provided. They ask where the rug was going in the house and helped me choose one that was right thickness and hardiness for

I was searching online for a rug for months and was really hesitant about not being able to see the quality in person, so decided to stop in here. We had a great experience at Rita Rugs - the owner was so helpful in helping us choose a rug.
Pros: Rug quality, selection, price, and the best part is being able to try a rug at home and return it if you didn't like it.
All these pros make it an easy choice to shop here! We ended up with a hand knotted rug from India and we love it.

I had been meaning to stop into Rita's Oriental Rugs for some time now, as I've been in the market for an authentic Persian rug for the past few months. After scouring websites, I decided I was going to have to make an in person decision for such a lofty investment. Sticking to my motto of "buy right the first time, don't be sorry later," I decided online purchases, while appealing in price, could result in an overpriced knock off Persian rug and I wanted no part of that.
So on my way to dinner in West Lakeview I finally popped into Rita's intending to only browse
