What Customers Are Saying
The carpet is described as high-quality, luxurious, and comfortable to walk on. The installation teams are praised for their professionalism and efficiency. However, some customers report issues with incorrect measurements, long delays, poor communication, and unresponsive customer service. Manufacturing defects like missing fibers and stains were also encountered, which Lowe's was unwilling to resolve. The overall customer experience appears inconsistent, with recommendations to thoroughly verify measurements and consider alternative retailers for a smoother purchasing process.

Don’t normally write reviews but carpet is a big decision and some of the current reviews on here almost lead me astray. This carpet is the real deal! It’s gorgeous, so soft, and the Outrigger color is a soft, light warm gray. I have a seam in the carpet, and you can’t see it. These reviews got me nervous about the seam, but what I didn’t realize is I already had a seam with my last carpet and seams are undetectable. My installer was very professional and did an amazing job. My experience wo...

Dirt Shows up Easily
We are clean people, but the stains and dirt show up fast. I would not purchase this again and wish we hadn't chosen this at all. We had our previous carpet for 20 years. (different brand) We have had this carpet less than 6 months, and we clean it and the dirt seems to be enhanced even more. We come in through the kitchen mostly ( hard surface)$4000.00 for a living room and hallway

Very happy with Loews not estimator.
I'll start with many years ago I used to be a carpet installer and salesperson, now to old and bad back, when I went to Lowes to look at carpet they sent Serv Pro out to measure, I told the guy up front I used to install (I know the measurements) After his measurements they sent a quote for 948sf, my total was 780sf 168sf less and they wanted to charge $3,061.00 to install. I purchased the 780sf paid a local installer $1400.00 to move furniture and install and saved $1,300.00. I have all the con...

Buyer Beware
The carpet depicted in the photographs below (StainMaster®, Best of Breed III) was purchased at Lowe’s Home Improvement located in Montgomeryville, PA and installed by Lowe’s Subcontractor (Ultimate Home Services, LLC) on December 5,2024. The carpet had a combined retail value of $5,700 (Carpet/Padding/Installation). As the photos illustrate, Ultimate Home Services, LLC failed to exercise care, consistent with industry standards, when measuring, cutting and installing the carpet around the wall...

RUN AWAY
DO NOT buy this product. We purchased from Lowe’s and what a mistake. The seams are noticeable, even after the installers came out to repair. Odors and stains (even just mud!) do NOT come out with a home carpet cleaner. We contacted Lowe’s several times after installation to tell them we were not satisfied with the product and we wanted something different (they are supposed to offer a 90-day satisfaction guarantee for carpet) and they are unwilling to help! They want to keep sending the poor in...

installation issues
purchased this with the understanding it would take a 2-5 days to arrive and be installed within 2 weeks after that. Long story short it took over two weeks to arrive an install is not going to be for another month. Would nave never purchased knowing that as it is delaying a move. Timing was gone over during purchase. Installation company is next to impossible to get ahold of and not very accommodating. Lowes should train their staff better to know true timing of installation. This review has no...

Best of Breed III - Super Soft
We love the color and softness. Don't go cheap on the pad. Get the middle or top end pad. Only issue is it shows indentations such as your foot prints, pet prints, robotic vacuum, etc. Might have gone with another had we known, but I'm not going to ding it a star for that. There are carpets that do and do not show these impressions, and I knew that before buying. I just didn't ask about this particular carpet. Our Lowe's rep at Waterford Lakes Orlando was AWESOME. And the single installer did a...

New carpet installation.
The installation went extremely well. The installer showed up on time. Explained what he was going to do, and he did it. He removed the old carpet and padding. Once he finiahsd the installation, he vacuumed the rug. Overall, we are very happy. Grrat job 4 Seasons.

New Carpet with Awesome Installers
We really enjoyed how quickly the carpet was installed and how professional each worker was on site. The carpet and padding turned out to be perfect! Both workers who installed the carpet helped move and rearrange my furniture how I wanted the room to look when completed. Very nice and respectful team! Would love to have them come back and install again.
