"Walked through several options based on my needs"
I'm very satisfied with my recent carpet purchase and installation from The Vertical Connection! While I had a pretty specific idea of what I wanted, I appreciated being walked through several options based on my needs.

"Cannot praise the staff at Vertical Connection enough"
We just had stair runners installed and cannot praise the staff at Vertical Connection enough. I visited the showroom and first met Michael and Tim. They were both friendly and helped me start choosing some carpet samples.
