We are very impressed with the beauty and color if it's wonderful design and are also very impressed with the quality of it's craftsmanship. We are very proud to be the owners of this lovely work of art and are sure that it will become a treasured heirloom in years to come. Please express our compliments to the gifted artisan or artisans who created this lovely kilim. They made us very happy. I also want to express our gratitude to Selin Damar who was very responsive to our email inquiries regarding the delivery of our rug. We were a little anxious about ordering an item from a foreign country through the email, but Selin Damar's prompt replies to our questions gave us peace of mind and we really appreciated it. In closing, I am happy to say that we would not hesitate to order from you company again in the future, and that we will recommend Kilim.com to others as well.
