Kami, the business owner, is a wonderful person and excellent rug consultant. Kami spent time educating us on the wide variety of options to suit our needs. He presented options that spoke to our taste, color scheme and most importantly, budget. I would highly recommend ABC Rug Outlet for anyone looking for quality rugs and service. read more

Very attentive and prompt with service! Our capers look like new after they cleaned them. Also, bought new pads to keep rugs from moving!

I need to update and edit my review 5/7/25 of ABC Rug Outlet. Kami was finally able to get in touch with me and explained that his business has been beset with awful electrical outage issues that made getting in touch with him by phone or email impossible. I went to his showroom to pick up my rug which was beautifully cleaned and stain-free. He even included a new rug pad at no extra cost. Great service and customer care. I'm a believer once again. Thank you, Kami Carol R. read more

Buying something new for the main hall in my home had been on my to do list for easily several years. So, after driving by this store countless times, I finally stopped in. And I'm glad I did. An impromptu visit resulted in two perfectly paired carpet runners for my hallway. Kami, the owner, was kind and helpful. He brought the pieces to my home to try-out, and, once I ultimately purchased them, he arranged to deliver the carpet pads too. All shopping should be this nice. read more

We got fabulous service from Jose, Klisma and the other folks at ABC. The first time I went in, hubby was under the weather so I went alone. They moved every 8x10 rug in the stack so I could look at them and take pictures for him. There were *a lot* of rugs. They also offered to make an appointment to bring over a few our our favorites so we could see how they worked in our space. We did this, and yesterday Jose came out with a few of them and we of course fell in love with two of them and had trouble deciding. He helped us understand the pros and cons of each choice and we eventually made a selection... the darker one that will be less obvious if it gets barfed on by our four bulimic cats. He went back to the shop to custom cut the felt to go under the rug, gave us tips on how to remove cat barf from the rugs (because there will be cat barf, oh yes, there will be.) and then he came back with a helper and they got everything set up under our bed and centered and it looks terrific. These rugs aren't cheap. The two we were deciding between were both about 2k with discounts. (Hubby had a weird moment where he thought, when did we become people who buy $2k rugs???) But I think it will last forever. The one we picked is very thick and plush, quite comfy to walk on barefoot. The cats love it. No barf yet, but I'm sure there will be soon... read more

I bought a rug here for $2700 in 2019 when I lived in Bethesda and was really happy with it...until now. I spilled a little bit of water on the edge last night and when I blotted it with a paper towel, a TON of INK came out. Clearly, they are adding ink to their rugs to improve the color. That's horrible, bad quality work, and DISHONEST. read more

The first 4 photos are the rug that I wanted them to recreate the last two photos are the rug I received. The only difference I requested was that my rug would be flat-woven instead of plush for easy cleaning. read more

I had an amazing experience at ABC. I went in looking for a short runner to blend with my other carpets. I was greeted by a young gentleman who immediately started helping me. Than the owner and other staff joined us. They all searched for my rug and came up with exactly what I wanted at a very fair price. It was a very pleasant experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. After making the deal we continued to talk and exchange pleasantries. They carried my rug to the car and guided me as I backed out of my parking space. And for an old guy like me that was real nice. So if you're looking for a rug of any type these folks probably have it and they go out of their way to make you happy. read more

Kami was very helpful, took time with us to show us many rugs, let us bring a couple home to see how they would look, and worked within our budget. I would recommend them highly. They also show a ton of rugs online, so you can review their stock. read more

I had the best experience shopping and buying rugs from Kami and his team. I got their full attention as they watched my preferences, and pointed to selections, patterns and colors in rugs that i might like. They were warm, fun and marvelously easy to work with. I bought 2 fabulous rugs which make me VERY happy in the morning, even before coffee! Nancy read more

Prompt and friendly service. Reasonable price for several large rugs that were pet favorites

Our friends recommended ABC Rug Outlet to us very highly and they turned out to be totally right. We walked into the store and didn't have a very good idea of where to start other than "something modern-ish." Jose was amazing and a huge help to us in picking out a rug. He and his colleague patiently helped us flip through a bunch of options, laid out our favorites so we could visualize them in different lighting, and then also brought along the rug over to our place for a test run when we were worried that we had chosen one that was too large. They even dusted/cleaned up the room when they moved furniture and laid it out for us. Thanks to Jose for a friendly, relaxed experience when making such a big purchase. And on top of all that, our new rugs are both so beautiful and comfortable! read more

We have had nothing but excellent experiences with ABC Rug Outlet. It is hard to convey how lovely it is to spend time looking at the inventory with the knowledgeable, welcoming, and PATIENT team, who must have unrolled 50 rugs, but they made it clear that they would not stop until we were happy. We were not at all surprised when our parents got the same, fine treatment and a rug they did not know they could love so much. We could not recommend ABC Rug Outlet any more. read more

I'm so long overdue to write this review. My husband and I were looking for a very specific rug sized in the shape of an 8x8 square. This was very important, as we were nesting and it felt absolutely necessary that we get a new rug before our baby arrived (lol). We couldn't find what we were looking for anywhere! ABC rug outlet had exactly what we were looking for - a high quality rug in the exact dimensions we needed. The team was very patient and presented us with many options. So far, the baby seems pleased with our selection. read more

Excellent and informed help from young manager, excellent rug for reasonable cost. Highly recommend.

This is a fabulous shop hidden on "the other" Howard Ave in Kensington. Not only is the owner friendly and knowledgeable, but he is not the pushy salesman. He has a wonderful inventory and variety of quality rugs. Ohhhh all the colors :) and all the patterns from classic Persian to Tribal geometric. You won't be disappointed. read more

ABC Rug Outlet is the place where you will not only find lovely rugs of high quality for any room in your home, but knowledgeable and very helpful staff. Kami, the owner, goes out of his way to make sure you are completely satisfied with your rugs. He worked hard to find two closely matched runners to fit on our staircase which was too long for one runner. His employees who installed the rugs on the stairs are true professionals. Our stairs now look and feel plush, inviting and gracious. Kami also helped us find a beautiful rug for our office to tiein with the runners on the stairs. The blue colors are complementary and offset each other perfectly. It is obvious that his work ethic is to make customers happy. They also do an excellent job cleaning rugs. I highly recommend going to ABC Rug Outlet if you are looking for quality rugs in a relaxed environment with staff ready to help you whenever you are ready. read more

Found ABC Rug Outlet strictly by luck! And Geez are we glad we did!! Was changing furniture and in market for a new look. Discovered ABC and was met by Jose and Kami in most impressive store. Huge selection of all types and styles. Jose took time to uncover mountains of rugs and was extremely patient. My wife found a couple of potentials and he offered to come to our home to actually try each in place. He actually brought a couple of other options which were even better match. He showed tremendous attention to detail and respected my wife's taste. Ended up buying two rugs with trade-ins on two others. Prices were extremely fair and customer service was 2nd to none. Can't recommend them and Jose enough! We'll definitely be back!! read more

I just purchased a beautiful rug from ABC. it is great quality and Kami and Jose were very professional. They were patient and helped me pick out the perfect rug for my space. It was a pleasure doing business with them. read more

Very knowledgable about rugs! Cleaned and repaired 5 rugs I had in storage for a very long time. If you ever spill wine on your rugs, give these guys a chance to get it out. They have a very large selection of rugs! read more

Kami (owner) and his team deserve every star of this review. The minute you walk in, you are greeted by a very organized store and employees who are excellent in customer service without being pushy. High quality and authentic Persian rugs at fair prices. In my opinion, this is a gem that has been operating for almost 20 years. We had the best experience here compared to all other rug stores in the area. We are repeat clients (have purchased multiple rugs) and look forward to visiting again and recommending this store to friends and family. read more

Kami is AMAZING! I've never had my rug professionally cleaned so I searched high and low to find a company with a quick turnaround time, reasonable price point and excellent service. Needless to say...ABC Rug Outlet is all of that and so much more! Kami is very responsive, on time and friendly. He also gave great recommendations such as a rug pad for underneath my rug to give more cushion and support. I let Kami know I was moving and he even wrapped my rug at no additional cost. Great job! If I wasn't moving out of state, I would definitely be a returning customer. read more

I have been doing business with this company for over 15 years. I have purchased more than than 7 Persian rugs for my home. Their merchandise is authentic and of high quality. Their customer service is exquisite; they have a huge selection of handmade Persian rugs and their pricing is very fair. Recently, the company cleaned my rugs. They came to my home to pick up my rugs and delivered them even sooner than promised. My rugs were beautiful after cleaning and actually sparkled after their service. They took great care in moving the furniture that was sitting atop my rugs and replaced my rugs with great care when they returned them. I recommend this company very highly and will be using them again in the future for more purchases of authentic Persian rugs and for their cleaning services! read more

ABC Rug Gallery did an EXCELLENT job with my handmade rug. Competitive pricing and free pick-up and delivery. Kami was so friendly, kind, knowledgeable and helpful -- really exemplary service that one is not accustomed to receive from any type of business!! read more

Second time doing business with Kami. It was a pleasure just as it was 5 months ago. He has great products and is incredibly helpful. Always great to do business with him. -Ian read more

Kami and his team were great in helping us find a rug for our new house. Their selection is varied and we got to consider a wide range before selecting the one that we love. They also cleaned some rugs we'd had for a long time. An excellent experience - and we would strongly recommend him. read more

After searching for an area rug for months and looking at hundreds of them online until my eyes blurred, we finally realized we needed in-person guidance. We are very pleased with our final choice, a beautiful Gabbeh, and the patience of the owner as we tried out a half-dozen rugs at our house. He has quite a skill for not only figuring out your taste and decor style but also spotting rugs that you might have overlooked. We actually identified four that worked well with my decor. I could have saved a lot of time by just coming here first. There are some very fine and unique rugs here. I was impressed with the quality and the range. read more

I visited ABC Rug Outlet for the first time this past weekend. I experienced wonderfully personal and polite service. The staff was knowledgeable and willing to explain as little or as much as I wanted to know about each rug. They took the time to understand my preferences and listen to my concerns. After paging through one of the many stacks of beautiful rugs, three were carefully extracted so that I could take a closer look. To find the perfect fit for my space, I brought two rugs home in exchange for my credit card number (nothing was charged). Upon trying each of the rugs in my space, I found the perfect one. A big thank you to Kami, Greg and Paul for a wonderful rug buying experience. I will be back! read more

our rugs were soiled by our late family pet who had problems when she was in declining health. easy pickup from our home, easy dropoff at our home AND the rugs were absolutely spotless. we will use them whenever we need a rug cleaned. there are not many places in our area we have found that provide '5 star' service, but ABC is definitely one who does. read more

ABC Rug Outlet is a gem. Kami and his team are friendly, professional, and great at what they do! When my partner and I dropped off our rugs, Kami inspected them closely and provided us with a very reasonable estimate and timeframe to complete the cleaning. One of our rugs was absolutely horrendous, thanks to our dog, but Kami and his team did a great job giving it new life. Another vegetable died rug has gone from tired and muted, to vibrant and beautiful. Sure our rugs look great, but we are most impressed with their customer service. We can't wait for our next visit! read more

The most beautiful and unbelievably large selection of rugs. Customer service is top notch. I have now purchased three rugs and could not be happier-my husband has never said he liked let alone loved a rug until I purchased my family room rug from ABC-Jose amazing assistant even delivered it with the pad and laid it out-price for quality is beyond compare-my house is modern/transitional, yet this rug (not contemporary) makes the whole room. I will update with photo read more

I gave a polypropylene rug with seemingly indelible incense ash marks on its super colorful surface. Didn't expect stains to vanish even after wash. But khomi and his assistants did an amazing job, the rug looked new just as I had bought it from Amazon, not a hint of any damage due to burns. Amazing. They use the cold wash shampooing formula on synthetic materials which is the best care for this material. The proprietor takes personal interest in rug cleaning and repair and irrespective of quality of the rug. Reasonable cleaning costs too, paid 55$ for a 5x 7" rug. Fully recommend. Bonus is the feast for eyes, mind and soul plus hospitality of Khomi who introduces you to the world of antique magic rugs from all over the world. Many thanks to him for educating me on the intricacies of rugs. Uma Mondal read more

I LOVE THIS SHOP!! I stumbled across this store a couple of months ago when I decided that I wanted to take adulting to the next level and look for real Oriental rugs to adorn my floors. I started off at another store down the street and was really overwhelmed by the pricing and the huge selection of rugs without much guidance as a new rug shopper. I left discouraged but then saw ABC Rugs as I was driving away and it was a totally different experience. It was cozy and inviting but still had a huge selection of all different types of rugs. I think Kami and his friendly staff showed me every single rug in the shop...and with a smile. I must have been there for 3-4 hours and they offered me chocolate and water, educated me on the the many different types of rugs and how they are made and where. I left that day with two beautiful vintage rugs that were a quarter of the price of what I was quoted for one rug at the previous shop. Kami even threw in an embroidered wall hanging for my nursery. I now have a totally new appreciation for rugs (borderline obsession) and I recently went back with my young daughters who stayed there for over an hour laying on the rugs, making theirselves at home eating treats that Kami offered them and reading books. It's their new favorite place! That day I was able to take a rug home and see how it looked in the space and when it didn't work, I came back with my teenage son to pick up the larger one that I had my eye on and Kami educated my son on the style of rugs that he was drawn to. He engaged him in a way that my son left saying what a cool shop it was and that he would love to own a rug shop like that one day. Kami gave him a really beautiful trinket when we left and a gorgeous tiny rug to go in my daughters playhouse. Generosity and great pricing aside, the atmosphere in this place is a dream come true and I will most likely be frequenting it long after I have anymore room on my floors for these beautiful rugs. Thank you Kami and staff for being passionate about what you do and for enlightening people like me! read more

I looked and looked for rugs for my new place, but wasn't finding any I liked until I stumbled across ABC. Kami showed me tons of choices, and I found perfect, beautiful rugs for 3 rooms! He even had 2 of the 3 resized to the dimensions I needed. He was great to work with, and the rugs are beautiful. They have a great selection of contemporary rugs (which is what I wanted) in addition to traditional rugs. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Excellent variety of beautiful rugs. We were not intending to buy a rug on this specific day. We wanted to see a few and think about what we really wanted. Joe was easy to work with and patient to understand our needs. In the end, my wife, who according to Joe, "has champagne taste", and I purchased a Nain square rug at a very reasonable price. Very pleased with our purchase. read more

Kami and his team are professional, meticulous, and provide excellent service for the cleaning and restoration of your most valuable and intricate carpets. We thought our 17-year old silk-wool Persian carpet was not salvageable from years of neglect, kids, and cats, but Kami was careful to restore the carpet to it's original stunning look and feel. We highly recommend ABC Rug Outlet for cleaning and for their extensive selection of beautiful rugs from around the world. read more

Kami and the ABC Rug Outlet team are rockstars! We had two large Chinese wool rugs that needed servicing before we headed to our new home and after calling around and doing research, we went with Kami and his team. Kami made a quick trip to our home to estimate the cleaning costs at which point it was clear that he knows that he's talking about. Kami helped bring our rugs back to life and gave us some exceptional tips on rug care, placement in the home, and ideas for future additions. Kami is a pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to our next engagement. Thanks, Kami! read more

I brought my rugs in for a cleaning and repair estimate. I have a fully hand crafted, all vegetable dyed Persian gabbeh made of hand carded and spun wool. It needed some repair of about 4-5 inches of selvage (edge). My others were small flat weaves with 3-4 inch squares cut out of the edges. (My dog did it as a pup.) On the estimate, he labeled my gabbeh as a Tibetan. When I corrected him, he said the design was Tibetan. It's not. The tree of life design is multi-cultural with local interpretations. He showed me the estimate, $950 (too much) but wouldn't give it to me. Another red flag for me was the collection in the shop. The majority of the rugs are machine made foundations--if you look at the stacks, they all look very uniform, ie, no natural variation as with hand made rugs. Also, many rugs look like they have mixed dyes (chemical and vegetable) or all chemical dyes. (Vegetable dyes won't run and will last for years and years.) All this brings into question the type and quality of materials they would use in repairing my rugs. And as I walked out the door, he asked me what I would pay for the job. I told him half. But in truth, I wouldn't let them do it at all. I'm sorry but this place is not for me. read more

Beautiful high quality expensive rugs. Great customer service. The experience alone made buying the rug worthwhile.
