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.

The kilim arrived yesterday and created a lot of excitement in the office. I followed your instructions and attached the kilim to a dowel rod with about 12 hoops of ribbon and hung it in my office this morning, and everyone thinks it's a beautiful addition to the office and a terrific conversation-starter. Your website and your service both exceeded my expectations, and I would be hard-pressed to think of any constructive criticism. I certainly passed your URL around the office and assured everyone that your stock was infinitely more varied than the two or three rug shops I visited in Boston and your prices more competitive. My French colleague who travels in the Middle East confirmed for everyone that one would have to travel to Turkey oneself to find a selection and price range better than yours. I think you have a very good business model.
