And should we move, they'll be key in staging the current house for showings as well as setting up the new place.

He patiently answered all of our questions and gave amazing service - a rare commodity! In the past, we ordered blinds online and installed them ourselves.

We were given Frances Erickson's contact information and told that she would make the ordeal as painless as possible. I am SO glad we contacted her! Franny is a joy to do business with. She totally understood the emotional aspect of what we were doing and was sympathetic to that. And, she knows her stuff! She will research items that are unique so that she can price them accordingly. And, she knows her market. She knows what people in the area are looking for and what they are willing to pay. There were items that I felt were overpriced that practically ran out the door the first day of the sale! Some I felt were under-priced were still there when the sale was over. Trust her judgement! She knows what she's doing! We made more the first day of the sale than I anticipated making the entire weekend. The only thing I have to say about her is that she does not charge near enough for the amount of work she does for her clients. I would highly recommend Eartha Kitty's Estate Sales to anyone who is looking at downsizing or emptying a home. I am so glad we got acquainted with Franny through this experience.

Typically, a retailer doesn't want negative publicity in the social media world of today. He generously and/or appropriately gave me a refund of a portion of the price I paid to a figure I felt was fair. I accept that my experience was the result of a sales person who is either in the wrong job or was having a bad day. When I have a need to return to this store, I will choose to be helped by a more considerate sales person. Original post. I've never purchased furniture at Samuel's myself but have accompanied friends who have and have, myself, been impressed with the selection of quality items and the staff who helped in my friends purchases. On October 15, I entered the store in search of an end table for a particular spot in my house. I was greeted by Mr. Van Den Berg. I explained what I was looking for and we moved around the store but found nothing that seemed right. He suggested I look around and he proceeded to sit at his desk. As I walked by, I saw an interesting piece that was near where he was sitting and was obscured by a fake plant that sat on top. It was marked "Hue Round Stool" # 12532 or 928419. It was made from laminated wood that made up a conga drum-like "stool". The glue had obviously failed from severely shrinking wood and there were cracked seams around the entire item. The SALE tag showed it to be marked down to $119 from a regular price of "$259". It was in very bad shape for the quality of what the store sells, but it was perfect for what I was looking for. I asked if it could be marked down more and I received a cold and emphatic "NO". I was tired of searching for the right item and agreed on the "as-is" price. While Mr. Van Den Berg was writing up the sale, I noticed on the attached tags that the original price tag indicated that the regular price was $199, not the $259 which was the MSRP. The sales tag was blatantly misleading. I pointed it out to Mr. Van Den Berg and noted that this "table", which was really a stool and would have sold at a garage sale for $20, wasn't even half off. All he had to say was that he would point this out to management. I proceeded to pay for the "table" since it was what I was looking for even though it was, in my opinion, over-priced. I asked if it could be carried to my car and he said he couldn't do it and nobody else was around. I carried it myself. I have to say, I am happy with the "rustic" table, but not happy with the experience. Most people would have seen this item as something to use in a garage or IN the fireplace. So much for my taste in furniture. I feel that I took it off their hands and would have praised Samuel's for selling it at a reasonable price.

We are no strangers to Stressless (Ekornes) furniture. We have purchased a number of pieces over…read morethe years primarily from well-known Scandinavian furniture stores in the Puget Sound area. On January 3, 2026 we purchased a Stressless recliner from Michelle at Samuel's paying a 50% deposit with estimated delivery of 3 to 4 months. We have been patiently waiting, but at 5 months we asked for a status report. We did not get a response. Last week when we called we were promised updated information "soon". We never got a call back. Today, 7 1/2 months after the sale I visited the store. The person who helped me made a telephone inquiry, and was told that the factory had not responded to their call so could not provide me with any information. When I suggested that the store should have kept track of the order and certainly should have kept me informed (especially after passing the estimated delivery date by so much!) the person told me that the salesperson was on leave and therefore I did not get updates because customer contact is the salesperson's job. I cannot trust a store with a large deposit when the store does not take responsibility for ensuring that the sales contract is fulfilled in a timely manner, and that shows a disregard for its customers. The sort of behavior I experienced made me suspicious that a bankruptcy could be imminent. I asked for, and was immediately given a refund. I know what I want, and there are 3 places relatively close that can take my order. I will have to wait, but I will be working with a trustworthy store that I know will give me timely, and straight-up answers. Too bad...Samuels is very close, and they have a nice showroom of Ekornes. If Michele comes back, I might consider it again, but I would need assurances from the store that they may not be able to keep.

We trusted her aesthetic and that she was most interested in helping us meet our needs. The installer, Henry, was punctual, courteous, and took the time to answer all questions.

They make these custom, high quality window treatments in many beautiful fabrics.. NOT one size fits all. Our consultant, Daphne, was a great listener and thoughtfully evaluated our situation and concerns (light filtering vs black out for an upstairs guest room with high windows and skylights. Our concerns were insulation/energy for this project). She measured using a laser system which is fast and extremely accurate. She also brought her own ladders. We looked at my wall colors and she gave me her opinion as I was on the fence. Within a few days, Daphne sent a detailed quotation including several options as I wasn't sure which way to go. The quotation included information on the lifetime warranty, US-made product, and Costco Shop Card (which is truly awesome!) We made our decisions on color and styles and were able to pay/place order online. Daphne came back out as soon as the blinds were received and even managed to squeeze us in despite the busy holiday season. I should mention Daphne was personable, efficient, and extremely professional as I remembered her and her meticulous attention to detail when she installed blinds for several projects at our previous home. The installation was done quickly, maybe less than an hour. The blinds look amazing. I would rate Shade Concepts 5 stars all the way! Top-of-the-line, backed by a lifetime warranty, and exceptional staff supporting all aspects of the purchasing and installation experience.
