2) How does our pricing work?
We’re often asked how we can afford to offer these fine, hand-knotted Persian rugs at such affordable prices. The answer is simple: at CatalinaRug.com there are no middlemen. In North America, there are generally six to ten layers of middlemen between them and the source of the rug, and this adds significantly to the price. Our buy-direct and sell-direct philosophy means that we eliminate most of these middlemen and bring the rug to you at a price lower than the wholesale price most rug dealers pay.
