Rug Guy

Rug guy was super friendly and willing to meet with me and my husband on a rainy Sunday. We both fell in love with the pink persian rug that was sitting in his living room. Rug guy’s wife was kind enough to help us load up the car. Would not hesitate to recommend or shop for another rug from the «rug guy» in the future.

The rug guy was friendly, open, candid and trustworthy. He offered to let me return the Iranian rug I wanted to buy if it didn’t fit or look good in my space. I bought it that night (back in July, 2011) and haven’t the slightest regret! The rug has given me so much pleasure since I bought it and has earned the admiration of so many house guests. Thanks, Rug Guy.
He and his wife are also very interesting to talk to!

Very reputable. I tried a rug, didn’t match and he refunded my money. I will try him again.

I looked all over SF for a hand woven rug (crazy expensive) and then I remembered hearing about the Rug Guy. I went straight to Craigslist and found him but he didn’t have anything available that I liked so I sent him an email and he sent me an image of a rug that was on its way. I scheduled an appointment for that evening. The rug is gorgeous! It seems like he always has new stock on hand, his prices are good, and he is a really nice guy.

Buying a rug seems like a real racket these days — never sure of who or what to believe and the prices can be all over the map. Nevertheless, I bought a runner from Jonathan yesterday and very pleased. Quality of the rug is superior to many I have seen that cost significantly more and the buying experience was positive. Highly recommend.

Jonathan and Simon’s rugs are gorgeous and very reasonably priced. Jonathan’s extensive knowledge of the carpet market is perfectly complemented by Simon’s deep knowledge of Persian carpets and astute commentary on the rugs as you view them. Highly recommended.

My husband and I finally ditched our old, ghetto-​looking Bed, Bath and Beyond rug for something more «permanent».
Our friend Shep «Wildcat» Campbell is a fellow southerner and boasts a fresh apartment of his own, so when he pointed us to the 14^th Avenue Carpet Guy, it was AWN. I immediately sceduled an appointment. The 14thACG is located right next to Andronicos in the Sunset, so you can take care of your shopping while hitting the ATM to pay for your beautiful rug.
We were welcomed into his apratment, which has some fastastic rugs on the inside. His wife was charming; reading his son Peter and the Wolf. We looked through the selection (about 15 rugs) and I absolutely fell in love with an Iranian chestnut, chocolate, and orange rug depicting boxes of obscure animals within each. It sounds odd, but it is gorgeous. In any case, the weaving was a bit faded in one part, so the 14thARG knocked off $ 50.
It’s 6 months later, and we couldn’t be more pleased. This is a lovely antique!

I’ve ordered two phenomenal Persian rugs from the rug guy over the years. Both were delivered promptly, in beautiful condition, and are truly spectacular pieces of work. These are not cheap knockoffs, they’re the real thing – wool, knotted, and heavy duty. Despite the high quality, the prices couldn’t have been beat, especially here in NYC.
I’ve now had one for several years in my Manhattan office, and it continues to hold up; in fact it looks as good as the day I got it. The second is in our home, and as often said in one of my favorite movies, it really ties the room together…

Great buying experience. Lots of carpets to choose from in different shapes sizes and patterns. The one I got is perfect for my space… I couldn’t have done it better if I had it made to specs. Also Jonathan is fair and straightforward with customers. Highly recommended.

i have seen a continuing stream of great carpets from this guy. he continues to offer the best deal in town.
