"After shopping at 6 other rug stores, I found myself at Pak Oriental rugs in the design center neighborhood of SF. I instantly knew that I was in the right place. The selection is incredible, the gallery is beautiful and Anjum, the president, is a master and a delight. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted (I had already returned one rug to another store that I didn't love once I got it home.) But Anjum and his assistants were so patient and thoughtful as I pondered everything.

We were able to see our 4  selections on the floor in natural daylight - a huge help! I was being so cautious that I went to 3 other stores in the design center neighborhoosd and they didn't come close to having what Pak has. Anjum, a fourth generation carpet dealer was so gracious about letting us take two rugs home. I wasn't even going to take the second rug home because I wasn't sure that I loved it. And it turned out to be the most amazing choice. It's a Jotan, by far the most special piece I saw in 3 months of rug shopping and not that expensive at all. In fact prices at Pak Oriental Rugs are right in line with every other gallery - including Macy's and Anjum is a total class act when it comes to negotiating price.

I truly feel that I got an amazing piece for a very fair price. Anjum let me keep the rugs for 2 days and came all the way to Berkeley to pick up the one we decided against. I highly recommend this store. It's right at the roundabout on Townsend with a big parking lot too."
