I asked her simple & direct questions, which she dodged with blatant avoidance. She could not tell me what was purchased. If she worked for me, I would have her terminated pronto. No customer service oriented business would allow their customers to be exposed to a Cobra. The notice was dated 3/11 and postmarked 5/4, outside of the allowed 20 day window. Any contractor who performs work on any of my properties will be instructed NOT to do business with Golden State Lumber, they are blood suckers. After speaking with the contractor he informed me Golden State was paid in full on March 27th. Eye roll.

I want to support Jackson Hardware instead of big companies like Home Depot. They have a wide…read moreselection of items that can be used throughout the home and work. I bought a kitchen faucet a couple years ago and was having it installed. It unfortunately was missing a part. We called Jackson and they told us it's a manufacturer issue, not their issue. We kept putting a stink and they finally gave us the show room one. Before that, we bought a toilet that did not fit. We had all of the parts, it was completely new, and put back into the same box. Again, they put up a stink but finally relented and gave us a different toilet. Just recently, we were in looking at toilets again and were being helped by someone. Mind you, this person is *helping* us. Another worker comes and begins to speak to her, making us wait 5-10 minutes. Complete and utter waste of time. Again, I truly want to support this store. But, I have been incredibly disappointed with the customer service on numerous accounts.

Working with Cynitha at Italics has been an absolute dream. As an interior designer juggling…read moremultiple projects, having someone like her in your corner makes all the difference. She's not only incredibly knowledgeable about Italics' selections, but she also takes the time to understand your vision and offer thoughtful suggestions that elevate the entire design process. Cynitha has helped me source everything from statement pieces to subtle accents, always with patience, creativity, and an impeccable eye for detail. Her responsiveness and genuine care make her such a standout. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for support on high-end design projects -- she's the best! I will continue to go to Italics repeatedly because of Cynthia!

She gave me exactly 5 minutes of her time and had a rude demeanor. I'm truly surprised others has a good experience with her. Follow up note for Jon- I scheduled the appointment almost a week ahead, I asked for a time slot and she replied she was open from 10-3pm and didn't give me a time. Then I told her I was aiming for 1pm and I never got a response back. Even if I did arrive early, I wouldn't have been so upset had she been kind and asked me to wait. Plus there was no other customer in the store. She wasn't kind, she was rude. Her lunch arrived as I was leaving. She was clearly unprepared. I don't doubt her ability but her demeanor is not the best presentation for your business.

We ordered doors for a project and only realized that we mixed up the handing after they'd been delivered (pay special attention to their handing chart -- it's different from what I/my team is accustomed to). This was a mortifying mistake and could have really turned out badly. Douglas talked me through everything on the phone that afternoon, accepted the doors back the following day, and had them rehung and redelivered the day after that. He didn't even charge us even though this was obviously my mistake. The quality of work is high and they can customize most doors with surprisingly quick turnaround, but the service is on another level. I'll be ordering again in a few weeks.

I called a few days later, asking which type of latch I would need for my gate. The person on the phone said "he's not the right guy and that Rob knows more. I asked to speak with Rob. They did not put Rob on the phone and told me to do my own research and find the model that I need for the gate and then they can order it. If they can't help me find the right solution to my problem, I'm not exactly sure why they exist. I wanted to support a local business, but instead, I'll do my own research and just use amazon.com

As I stood there trying to figure it out, an employee came over to help and quickly realized how tricky it was. He consulted a colleague for a second opinion, and then they he called over Max, who happened to be on his lunch break. I told Max he didn't need to interrupt his break, but he insisted he was happy to help. He wasn't convinced the first option would work, so he kept testing different ideas and talking through possibilities. When Feliciano came by, the two of them compared notes and agreed on the right connector. They were absolutely right. We installed it when I got home, and it works perfectly--no more leaks. Thank you to the Goodman's Hardware team for the great teamwork, and a special shoutout to Max for going above and beyond to make sure I left with exactly what I needed.
