Sun damaged rug - are we supposed to accept this?
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the high quality of the products we have received from Benisouk, including one of the rugs from our most recent purchase. If there wasn't an issue with one of the rugs, we would have been singing their praises! This positive experience amplifies our disappointment with the issue at hand. The rug in question, a black and white Mrirt rug, exhibits a pronounced stripe of discolouration. This defect significantly detracts from its aesthetic appeal and overall quality. It has taken three attempts to get a response from Benisouk. We have now received a response indicating that this marking was a result of sunlight exposure during the drying process – are they saying it is not a defect? It clearly is. At no point during the purchasing process were we informed that such variations could arise due to the drying process. Had this been communicated, we would not have bought the rugs. Why would anyone spend a lot of money on a sun-damaged rug? Given the premium price and Benisouk's reputation for quality, such a conspicuous imperfection is unacceptable. It undermines the value and enjoyment of the rug. The lack of communication from the customer service team has been appalling - for a company that prides itself on quality, there is an issue here. They still haven't replied to me regarding my last email.
