Although I didn't end up buying anything from the Carpet Broker Design Center, I thought they offered a good selection of flooring materials.  \n\nThe first time I went there I was helped by the owner, and he was extremely helpful.  He let me take some samples home and gave me information on many different types of hard surfaces.  \n\nThe next couple of times I went there, it was hard to even find someone to help me. Another time I went there and they weren't open when they were supposed to be.   I think one of the gals was late to work that day.  \n\nAll in all, I did get some good information, but their prices were just a bit too high for me.
