I just bought the Rachel sofa from C&B. It is a Lee Industries sofa and it looks as if I could have done better on the price by following some of the advice here. Nonetheless, I am happy with my purchase. I got a lot of help in the store on selecting the right sofa for my space, which is a difficult configuration.

C&B has some rugs that I like. I know the mark-up on rugs is high, along the lines of 500 to 600%. Does anyone have advice on where I can get better prices on the rugs they sell? In particular, I like the Lynx, actually for another room than the one with the Rachel sofa. I also like the Paolo, the Sullivan, and the Mambo. That last one they no longer have in many sizes. I'd like to get a good deal on one of the latter three to go with my sofa.
