Don't buy carpet at home depot.
We bought carpet from home depot. They require a person come out and measure "so things go smoothly. The guy came out and measured, made a drawing on his tablet of seam location and size of room.
The carpet was special order and should arrive in 4 weeks. We got a call two weeks later that the carpet was in and we could get it installed right away. Great!
The installer came out and we were talking through the job and his drawing from home depot had the seam in a high traffic area in front of the doorway.(my guess is they "got" this carpet early because it was in their warehouse when we ordered but not big enough to be installed per drawing so they changed it)
We had the carpet reordered. Anouther 4 weeks.
The installers came today removed the old carpet and pad,and put down new pad. They brought in the carpet enrolled it to find it was cut short, so we would need two seams in high traffic areas.
We called home depot and they said it would be anouther 4 weeks to get replacement carpet.
We canceled the order.
Ridiculous!
