Beware of The Cottage…read more I purchased a Jamison mattress and box springs on 12-19-14. They were delivered on Friday, 1-16-15. I purchased new bedding over the weekend and while putting them on the bed, I noticed a place that looked like the quilt had been picked, like a plume of thread was sticking up from the quilt. Looking closer, I saw where the stitching at the base of the plume was out of line with the other common pattern of stitching. I took a picture of the plume area and showed it to the owner of The Cottage and he agreed that it indeed looked picked. His comment was "you wouldn't believe some of the stuff that I get in here". He offered to come out and look at it and did on Tuesday, 1-20-15. I also had a concern about how quick the bed was showing where I slept and he said that was normal. This is the part that chaps me. He said my concern for the picked area was that of a LADY. A LADY??!!! I saw the plume area as a manufacturing defect but it's obvious he didn't. Rather than offering to get me a new mattress, he offered me my money back and said I could go elsewhere and buy a mattress. I had researched other mattresses and decided on a Jamison. He was the only retailer close by that sold them. The more the LADY in me thought about it, the more SHE got pissed. SHE made me contact the factory where the mattress was built, where I spoke with Kim George (in the warranty dept.). Ms. George told me to send her pictures of the manufactures defect and she would forward them to my area sales rep Steve Mehaffey. This part really pissed off the LADY. Mr. Mehaffey contacted the owner of The Cottage and the owner said that the "defect could have happened in the customers home after delivery." Mehaffey concluded that "the bed has been inspected and it is my opinion that no warranty claim exist." I sent Ms. George several follow up emails expressing my displeasure and disappointment in the conclusion of Mr. Mchaffey, only to find out that Ms. George had not read my emails and had deleted them. The insinuating statement from the owner of The Cottage put the LADY over the edge. I ended up talking to the plant supervisor Carlos Morallis, and after sending him pictures, he and his supervisor concluded that I should be sent a new mattress. That was on 3-20-15. The mattress was built the following week and I received it on 4-3-15. Bottom line.....The mattress arrived at The Cottage with a manufacturers defect that the owner failed to acknowledge during his "in home" inspection. He later insinuated that the defect was caused by me after delivery. A piss poor way to treat a customer. Beware of anything you buy from this business. I have attempted to add a photo of the plume but not sure if it worked.

My search was for something that would actually kill weeks, not get washed away in the rain or (this actually happened once) act like a fertilizer and make the weeds literally double in size over the course of the next week. Staff were helping another person when I arrived, but when they were done with that person they asked how they could help and got me all set up with what I needed. I would recommend these guys - check them out - see pics for type of stuff that you can find here - weed destroyers, pest and bug control, pet supplies are among some of the things you'll be able to find here.

But, where they shine, is the really nice selection of wines, ciders and seltzer water with alcohol. The selection of wine is really nice and covers all the different styles (red, white, etc) that you can find. What we really liked was the center shelves that were focused on ciders/hard lemonade. All unique brands that had some different flavor combinations .... such as blackberry, clove and orange zest or the hard lemonade with blueberry and lemon. The owner was really knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She pointed out what her favorites were and made us feel very welcomed in her store. Really glad we stopped to check this place out, we'll go back again for sure!

Ran out here to see if they still had what she was after, unfortunately they didn't. But, I was introduced to a new building supply house that seems to be pretty well stocked and carries a wide variety of tools and materials to accomplish projects around the house. Prices seem to be on par with other building supply places, if not a little better. Store has a nice open feel to it and is clean and organized. Staff we're helpful and directed me to the area that I'd want to check and see if they had what I was looking for (didn't have a brand name just a description). Overall a pretty good location, if I was closer I'd for sure shop here more.

Upon entering, this place is a little bit of everything. Boutique, but more. They have some clothing available along with some nice designer purses and jewelry. But in addition to that they have picture frames, outside statues (small), drinkware, place settings, serving trays ... like I said a little bit of everything. Everything seemed to be of good quality and prices varied from inexpensive to expensive (something at every price point). The staff were friendly and checked on us a few times while we were looking through the store and made sure that we didn't need any help. Really a nice little store that has quite a bit of stuff. If you are out and about and looking for a new place to check out, this place is worth spending a few minutes.
