Sure, go ahead and use Brea Glass if:
1. You don't mind John interrupting you by taking telephone calls every time you start to say something;
2. You don't mind him finally telling you the item will be ready (and delivered) by the end of the week;
3. You don't mind that when you call about the item a week-and-a-half later, his lame double-talk convinces you that he forgot to order it;
4. You don't mind that his new delivery date figures out to be approximately a month after you first entered the store;
5. You don't mind him telling you that there's now a $40 delivery charge (which in my case was a two-mile trip!)
Soooo. Go ahead...if you can ever find them open; their posted closing time is 2 o'clock every afternoon! But don 't expect any communication; they never answered any one of my three telephone calls. They apparently read "caller" and decide not to answer.
And a P.S.: Our item was a glass top for our patio table. Final cost: $305. (A very nice young man installed it and it looked very nice.)
And now a P.P.S.: The first time we used it (few days later), I sat a drink down on it -- and it shattered in a zillion pieces. In looking at the bill, it appears that the tempered glass was only 3/16th of an inch thick, whereas we asked for quarter-inch or 3/8ths. I just called another glass company and they said 3/16ths of an inch is totally inadequate for a span of almost five feet.
And even another P.S.: Didn't want the stress (I'm now 79) and bullshit double talk from John, so I went hunting for a legit glass company. Found one in Orange, where the owner looked at the ring and the massive use of silicone, and opined that they had mis-measured and tried to glue everything together -- resulting in a torqued piece of glass that would explode with the first bit of weight (my glass of mango juice) placed upon it! It cost me $50 to have everything cleaned up -- you can't imagine the mess made by thousands of pieces of glass everywhere! My first thought was to dump the big bucket of glass sheds on Brea Glass' entry door, but decided it just wasn't worth it to sink to their level of dishonesty.
So...Now I've spent more than $600 for a glass tabletop.
I expect no revenge while I'm still on this side of the grass -- but there will come a time...
