If I could give this place zero stars I would in a heartbeat. I feel my blood pressure rising as I type this...I have NEVER experienced an establishment with such terrible & unreliable service. I'm an interior design in Houston, and have frequented this place at max 5 times...rest assured I will NEVER go back. Not 1 out of those 5 visits have been with out frustration. I was on a search for marble and after frequenting many other local establishments, I popped in to Arizona tile due to their affordability. My first time there I was not greeted with the slightest even "hello" I was sent to the back counter where someone would help me to look at slabs. Once again, no one even lifted their head. After about 10 minutes of waiting I approached a gentleman for help. Skittish and unprofessional in appearance the gentleman took me to the back. I was very specific about what I was looking for...the man helping me had no idea where the slabs were, what they looked like, or anything about them in general. I would ask basic questions and he would just stare down, look at the ceiling, I was embarrassed for him for his lack of knowledge...I'd ask if he could get someone who was knowledgeable and that could assist him, as I have a million other ways to be spending my day and time. After about 15 minutes of waiting in their warehouse he returned. By himself. I should have just left then, but I wanted to look at their selection. I asked if they could pull some slabs out, as I needed the product ASAP and was willing to pay then and there...after a few "ummmms" and "errrrs" he disappeared into the slab yard. I seriously wasn't sure if this guy even knew where he was working. About 30 more minutes of standing, squatting, and pacing around, I decided to go and try to find him. I went inside and he was sitting behind the desk as if we'd never even been there. I asked again if they could pull the slabs...he said he'd be right there. to make a long story short, I ended up wasting about an hour and half of my day at this place. I left with an appointment for the following day...first thing in the morning...3 slabs out for me to view...easy. Of course not, I get there the next morning, not only are the slabs NOT out, I had to wait another 45 minutes or so for them to pull ONLY 2 out...that's right, I'm paying around $8000 for slabs and they refuse to pull more than 2 out....not at a time...on the 2 they chose to pull. Ridiculous. After going back and forth I finally convinced them to pull another slab out because one of the 2 was paper thin and the other was cracked in multiple places. After seeing the quality of the 3rd one, I was frustrated, exhausted, and done with this place. A few months go by and I decide to give this place another shot. This time I was looking for limestone...easy..no specific veining like marble. I picked a few slabs and had my guy go pick them up. My guy had a specific pick up time...again, we are in the construction/design business, time is of an essence...he shows up...waited for TWO freaking hours, the slabs were cracked and they set so much weight on his tailgate it busted. This place...make me sooooo angry. So after going to a new place to purchase our slabs...paying more $$ was way worth it. Well, about a month ago, I had the urge to give them another shot. I popped in to see if they even had what I was looking for before I wasted mine or anyone's time. They did. okay, fine. So I had my project manager call (he's a little more aggressive than I) and make an appointment for me the following day at 10:00 am. They were to have 2 slabs out for me to look at and say "yes" or "no" to...a 15 min meeting at most. I show up the following day, again no greeting, I had to ask someone to help me, as I have an appointment. Guess what? THE WRONG SLABS were out.
Jokes on me. about 30 minutes pass before the angry and rude slab lifting machine driver makes his way around to pull the right ones. I pick one and go. Promising never to return. My project manager handled the rest...purchasing, delivery, etc. Well the delivery was supposed to take place last Friday (it's currently Wednesday) and after calling and emailing to no avail, we didn't get a response until yesterday. Well they had delivered the slab to the WRONG location. How does this happen? These people. Anywho, so after we get that all squared away, we are told they are picking the slab up from the wrong location that they had dropped it off at and delivering it to the correct one this afternoon. Slabs are big and heavy. So we had a crew of FOUR people waiting at the jobsite to take delivery of the slab...we are paying these four people by the hour...An hour passed their delivery goes by....my project manager gets a call...hmm what could go wrong now? THEIR TRUCK BROKE DOWN. They can't make the delivery until tomorrow! I'll be in UTTER SHOCK if they deliver it tomorrow, undamaged, and on time. DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE. read more
