We soon learned that no matter what we thought we knew, we were in the hands of people who knew a lot more than we did and were skillful manipulators. Finally, I bought one carpet for $500 because my husband did not want guests in our house spilling food on the carpets. It was very large, and I told him it was my carpet for the dining room, and we could risk people spilling on it. Years later, I had it cleaned and discovers a square, about 15 cm x 15 cm that had been fully replaced and repaired, and colored, probably with felt tip markers.
