Our basement is mostly a single open room with a wood floor. There's a lot of echo, so we've been buying carpets at auction for some time, hoping to cut the echo down. Tonight we won a beautiful 12 x 15 Polypropylene rug by Loloi, part of its Stanley Collection. If you don't know what that is, that's fine. We didn't either. It's a rug - a really big rug, in spotless condition.

After winning it, I'm looking into it further and finding it was made in 2016 and that Loloi's "Stanley Collection" came in many sizes. The 12 x 15s sold for between $1,200 and $1,600 at various retailers (all sold out now), though one of the internet ads said the rug advertised (very much like ours) was discounted to $1,400 from $3,000.

We won ours for $33 plus a 15% auction house fee, so $37.95.

The photos below are the auction photos. We'll be picking the rug up on Saturday.
