Great experience from start to finish! The team was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They were very helpful throughout the process, and the quality of the rug exceeded my expectations. Everything turned out beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend!

I found them online during a search of websites selling rugs from Afghanistan. They have a great range of rugs, all very well documented with photos and videos. I ordered a custom made rug. During the selection of the patterns and colours the communication was both easy and prompt. The rug arrived very quickly after it was finished. Very satisfied with my purchase.

My wife and I saw a carpet on the Afghanu website that would be perfect in our home, but it sold before we had decided to take a chance on buying an item from the other side of the planet. I wrote to ask if there was another like it for sale. That is when Baktash offered to custom design a rug to our specifications. He made a preliminary design that was identical to the rug we had found online, we suggested a color change in the medallion and then approved the revised design. The process was simple and Baktash engendered trust, so we asked for two runners to be made in the same general style and colors as the larger rug. All three works of art now beautify our home, and we could not be more pleased. Also, the cost of buying from Afghanu is about one-third of buying from a retail dealer; the shipping was secure and fast; and, it is nice to know that we helped provide work for artisans in rural Afghanistan.

I’ve purchased two exquisite rugs from Afghanu and will probably buy more in the future. The quality and craftsmanship are both phenomenal but the customer service sets them apart – personal, flexible and incredibly responsive.
