Is Shag Back?

Alright, some of you admit it -- you had the bean bag chair and the shag carpet! That's right, you were groovy in the 70's. 

So, is shag carpeting the latest comeback? Some dealers say it's the hottest selling carpeting right now. The good news is that today's technology allows for a much higher quality crafted carpet compared to the shag of the 70's. These newer shags are much tighter twisted, and made from advance nylons that weren't available in the 70's! So maybe it's time to unpack your lava lamp and check out the beautiful new shag carpet styles!
