Terrible service! Asked for a plain white carpet that they have in stock. Ordered it on November 7th. The sales girl has it on stock, the contractor has the measurements since a week before Christmas. The sales girl has yet to contact the contractor by text to schedule an installation. She never returns calls , misquoted the price, and doesn’t try to correct the mistakes by helping you. Must admit I expected better from this place. During all the supply issues in this country you have to have patience but issue is with the service not the supply. Maybe I just have a bad salesperson but really

Awful customer service. I was there for about an hour and my salesperson was called away several times to help new customers that had arrived at the store. It made it quite difficult to shop. He wrote down wrong sizes on my order. I called a week or so later to cancel the delivery "upon approval" and explained to salesperson that my in store experience wasn't that great and I felt pressured into the delivery. He was very rude and said that they were busy the day I was there.
A week or so after I got a message from delivery department. I called to advise I'd already cancelled

My husband put up with my craziness as I searched hi and low for the perfect area rug. We live in Hillsborough County but we looked in Hillsborough, Pasco and Sarasota Counties for the perfect area rug! In my opinion no place was to far to drive and look, and we looked everywhere!!
One day I saw a commercial for "Rugs As Art" on tv. It looked very interesting, so off we went to Sarasota.
If you are in the market for an area rug let me save you some time and trouble!
My hubby and I first went to this store in December to have a look and see what it was all about. I loved what I

They were very patient and helpful to my husband and me. We couldn't make up our minds so they brought the rug in question to our home to let us see it n our home. They were supportive and didn't pressure us in any way. We absolutely loved the rug and they left it with us that day. We are enjoying our choice and Rugs as Art really helped us.

I brought I a rug I had purchased from Rugs as Art about 10 years ago in for cleaning and was extremely pleased with the service and the price charged. I had received a quote from another rug cleaning business which was much higher than I was charged at Rugs as Art. Additionally I had had the rug cleaned by another company a few years ago and their price was much higher as well. I would most definitely recommend Rugs as Art for their cleaning service!

Can't say enough about this business - the staff know their product/inventory, have great design capabilities, you're able to take rugs home to actually see them in the space and the list goes on.... Huge inventory and if you don't see what you want they can custom cut or design. Loads of home accessories available as well. Have worked with them on and off for over 5 years. Love this place!

I am in the process of decorating our new Florida home- I was familiar with decorating for our northern homes- Florida flooring, open formats and light furnishings made picking a rugs a challenge for us.
MaryJane H. worked with a level of expertise, knowledge and creativity above and beyond. She encouraged us to take home rugs "try them" . Maryjane suggested rugs that were good for our active lifestyle, adult children, grandchildren and dog too. Practical and elegant- perfect . The entire staff from the men who carried numerous rugs in and out of car -to the gentleman man who called

My husband and I recently bought a new to us boat. We are living aboard and living our dream. The old indoor/outdoor carpet on the aft sun deck and around the helm station was torn and tattered. It needed to go! We used the patterns in place, bought some pretty carpet, cut it out ourselves and then took it to Rugs as Art to have them bind it for us. I couldn't be happier with the results. After looking around at quotes, and dealing with a few very flaky people, Rugs as Art and their refinishing team were spot on. They were open to do the job we wanted, they had Great by the foot pricing

I took an 8 ft. wool runner to be cleaned. The rug was purchased elsewhere. They were very courteous, explained the rug wash process to me and charged me a reasonable fee. Told me it would be ready in 2 weeks. I picked it up today as scheduled and it looks fantastic! I highly recommend this service. Great prompt and professional service, fair price.
