my current living room rug is a cheapo synthetic i got at costco for literally $50 and its also the best rug ive ever owned?

Handmade Persian rug in my living room has been in my family for 100 years. That's pretty cool.

I had a Home Depot rug for years and I still miss it

it feels a lot like wine, where once you leave the absolutely basement tier of quality the differences you get by spending more are mostly subjective

This makes me feel better about my wine buying habits thank you and agreed

my cats have determined that rugs are for pooping, so this may be my best path forward

Oh yeah you can’t have nice things with small children or pets.

Don’t you kind of wish you could buy the $18,000 one just because there must be something we don’t know though? Like, that *must* be a really nice rug.

I would have to have a lot of money to even think about spending $18,000 on a rug.

I would have to have enough money that I am no longer thinking about money as a definite concept.

it’s so that obscenely rich people can haggle down the price to feel like they got a deal while still making the store a shit ton of money

Really depends on the material. You could easily spend many hundreds for a wool rug, but synthetic rugs are cheap.

I’m less sure there is a reason
