Go low-pile or loop style if you want your carpet to last.
Low-pile carpets have shorter fibers, making them harder to crush and easier to vacuum.
Loop carpets resist matting and handle pet claws better.
High-pile carpets (like shag) may look cozy at first but trap dirt and show wear quickly.
Buy now and pay overtime! We offer several different financing programs.
Darker tones disguise spills and muddy footprints.
