We have had Berbers in 3 houses going back 25 years and have never had a single issue with a pull. The Berbers were all high quality and that might be the explanation. There are specific pad requirements and the installation can be more difficult than other carpets. Not all Berbers are created equal. I would go as far to say that we would never install anything but a high quality Berber.

I do not recommend Barber for any house. I personally would have the Berber taken up by somebody and replaced with whatever you want. But I do not think Great Lakes is responsible. Sorry!
