Golden Rugs Gallery

I have been purchasing rugs from Golden Rugs Gallery for several years. I just now purchased my 7^th one. The rugs are wonderful. The colors stay bright and they always look beautiful. I’ve had some for ten years and they show no wear. I would highly recommend if you are trying to select someone to buy from, definitely buy from them. They are trustworthy and easy to work with.

If you are considering quality rugs for your home, you simply must visit Jason at Golden Rugs. We first met Jason during a stop-​off at Golden Rugs, one of many rug retailers we were considering at the time. Our shopping included Rug Expo, Outrageous Rugs, and a few other local shops, most of which try to hook you on overpriced machine-​made rugs. Our search ended when we met Jason. We were struck by his friendly, enthusiastic, no-​pressure approach with us. On our first visit, we spent most of our time discussing the state of the world, and the meaning of the stories woven into the fabric of his rugs. Since that visit, he has taught us much about genuine hand-​made vs. machine-​made rugs. Though you will find rugs of any style and price point, most of his rugs are hand-​made antiques. He offers an amazing inventory, and provides an outstanding retail experience. Jason is an expert in his field; he will understand your needs, provide you with an array of choices, and guide you skillfully to rugs that you will love. We appreciate him not only for his infectious personality and his kind treatment of us, but also for his wonderful family and staff. Golden Rugs is a first-​class retailer, and we happily consider Jason to be our sole source for quality hand-​made rugs for our home.

I have been a customer of this business for 25 years, both buying carpets and having cleanings and repairs. I bought an 8′ by 10′ oriental carpet ($ 3,780.00) from them, recently. Twelve weeks later, I dabbed at a soiled spot on the carpet with carbonated water and the red dye in the rug transferred onto the white cleaning cloth. I knew the carpet would bleed dye heavily when cleaned in the future, thus ruining the rug. I called the owner, Jason, and told him the situation. He told me to bring the carpet in, in five days, and he would see what he could do. I told him I was bringing it in immediately as I could not be responsible for this expensive carpet any longer. When I arrived at the business with the carpet, tags and receipt, I was met by Jason’s father, Michael Mikaeli, in the parking lot. I asked for Jason but Michael said he was going to look at the carpet. I showed him the area in question on the carpet in my car and he said they were not going to do anything about it. Jason was inside the business but was not interested in anything I had to say. I asked him multiple times to remedy the situation. A person arrived who said he was the manager and he offered to wipe the carpet with a damp cloth to prove to me that there was nothing wrong with the carpet’s dye. After a couple of wipes, the red dye appeared on the rag. The manager immediately squeezed the rag shut and put it behind his back. He told me to leave the premises.

I wish all local stores could make my shopping experience this fun! I ended up buying 2 rugs from Jason and he was extremely helpful in helping me with my decision.
I usually agonize over home décor decisions but Jason understood and gave his suggestions and pulled out tons of options, but also gave me plenty of space to not feel pressured for a sale or hover over me. He was very sweet and even showed me some 15 to 17^th century rugs he is working on repairing. Who knew rugs were so interesting!!!
I have already recommended local friends and coworkers to Golden Rugs!

Don’t have your rugs cleaned anywhere else! We bought a gorgeous, handmade rug about 10 years ago from Jason, and at the time I recall another customer there who said to me «Don’t go anywhere else, there’s nobody better in San Diego». He was right. Jason has a passion for the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into these rugs, and it shows in all he does at Golden Rugs.
Not only did we buy our rug there, we’ve never had it cleaned anywhere else. It was due again this year, and despite an elderly dog who preferred the rug as her barfing spot, Jason and his team were able to clean and Scotchguard it such that it looks brand new.
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys!

Wonderful place for good quality, affordable rugs! The customer service was impeccable. We had been at another rug store in the area, and they didn’t pay any attention to us or have much of a selection to look through. Here, not only did they give us personal attention, they worked with us to find exactly the type of rugs we were looking for!

Wow!!! Jason the Owner and his Dad have great great customer service! I am from Chula Vista and rarely write reviews unless service is exceptional. Jason helped us immediately as we walked in the store and gave us a great price on a quality rug for our living room! He knows rugs and its probably because its family owned since 1968! Thank you for taking care of us… Highly recommend this place over any place in town. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!

Found this place about 15 years ago when I was in college and bought my first beautiful Persian rug. My husband wanted to get area rugs for our living room. I told him about this place and decided to bring our 5 year old with us. We first checked out another shop down the street but the service was less than mediocre and nothing really caught our eye. We followed the signs to Golden Carpet and was greeted by the owner Jason. He was very helpful and helped us find exactly what we needed. When I showed him a picture of our newly installed flooring and after answering a few questions, he was able to pick to help us pick out an area rug for our living room and one for our dining room. He even won our 5 year old over. Great customer service! Highly recommend to friends and family!

My husband and I recently bought a new home and spent a great amount of time trying to find a rug that would fit perfectly in our new home. Unfortunately, we tried multiple rug stores before finding this store. Not only are the rugs beautiful and extremely affordable, the customer service was PHENOMENAL! Save time and head straight to Golden Rugs!!!

If you are in the market for an oriental rug this store can’t be beat. They are down to only one store now since Jason’s Dad has retired. Jason was just as helpful as his Dad had been over the past years.
My husband and I were able to make a selection quite easily from the many rugs on hand snd the terrific prices.
Golden Rugs Design Center location is now at 7190 Miramar Road. I mention that because the former store at 7160 is closed.

they were in the process of moving so the deals were really good. However, once I knew what the original prices were, I was pleasantly surprised. The rugs are beautiful and so many to choose from. It took me about an hour to make a selection because I was so excited by all the choices. The staff was helpful and accommodating. I love my new rug!

Jason was great! Very helpful. I have been looking everywhere for the perfect rug and finally found it here. Very nice, beautiful items, great price!

I just bought a large beautiful wool rug from Jason today. I LOVE the rug even more than I thought I would, now that it’s in my home! It is perfect, and I feel that he made me a very good deal. My husband is also very happy with it, and he does not like just anything! Thank you Jason for getting it out of the bottom of the pile!

It’s hard to find a place where you can be educated and trust a place to buy nice rugs. Jason is amazing! In the future all my business will be with him. Thanks for all your help with our rugs today.

Jason sold me a beautiful hand-​knotted wool rug from India for a great price! He is a lovely man and works hard to find you the perfect rug! See him before you go anywhere else!

Spectacular customer service! Wonderful selections. Jason makes you feel like family and creates a no-​pressure fun buying experience. If you need a rug, look no further, this is the place to go for all your rug needs!

This is the only place in San Diego to get top quality Persian rugs. The owner Jason knows everything about Persian rugs. I’ve had him clean several of my wool and silk rugs and they came out fantastic. He had a huge selection of so many styles it’s incredible. His prices are more than fair considering what you get for the money.
He has a gorgeous silk isfrahan (sp?) that I wish I could get so I’m saving up to get it and when I get enough money I hope it’ll still be available.
Don’t bother with rug expo Pala e, also on Miramar Rd. not far from golden rugs. Rug expos rugs are nowhere near the quality of what I see at Golden rugs.
This guy has been in the industry for many years now and has opened a shop that his father runs with a more middle of the road level of quality and selection. If you want the best, then Jason is the man for you. Really fair prices considering what you get.
I’ve tried aja Rugs in Solana Beach and the quality and selection doesn’t even compare. Trust Jason. He really wants the pieces he sells to last generations and I have very strong faith in his knowledge, products and availability for many budgets and he wants people to have rugs that will last for many many years and become family heirlooms passed down from one generation to the next and the next and so forth.
All in all, a very high quality source for products and services needed to maintain your rugs in top quality and add new ones to expand and enhance your collection

Walked into there other location (next shopping plaza over) and was directed to the larger store. Spent some time speaking to Jason and he made us feel very welcome but not pressured to buy. Gave us good info and told us about the differences in rugs because we didnt know too much about it. I didn’t buy a rug today bc I think about big purchases, but when I do, this is where I will get it from.

Jason and Michael have the most gorgeous and exotic rugs from all over the world.
They are always willing to please, and are fair with their pricing. I would highly recommend any one, including designers to shop their rugs. Jason’s rugs are featured in the March issue of San Diego Home & Garden for a home Cathy Bell worked on as interior designer.
Shop Golden Rugs first. They are the best! You won’t be disapointed.

After years of buying rugs and carpets at typical big box stores that don’t last more than 5 yrs, I decided to look into better quality rugs. I stumbled across Golden Rugs after looking at a couple other stores nearby. I knew right away that the owner Jason was very knowlegable and he took the time to educate my wife and I. We had our kids with us as well (two crazy boys) and Jason even brought them some cookies and let them use some scooters to keep them busy.
We ended up buying two amazing rugs that we just can’t get enough of. I’m now just crazy about these rugs and have gone back a few times and picked up a couple more rugs. They really are beautiful rugs and he has something for everyones budget. Jason has great people skills and I love his laid back attitude, I was never pressured to buy anything, he just loves teaching people about his trade.
I highly recommend this place if you are looking for good quality persian and oriental rugs. Thank you Jason!
