    AVOID CONSIGNING WITH ELITE REPEAT! I am in law enforcement and know theft by deception…read more Unfortunately, I am a victim of it by this store. Don't be one, too. I consigned three pieces and after not hearing whether or not they sold, contacted the store. I was told they did sell (two anyway, the third they couldn't give me an explanation what happened to it), and that a check was sent to my house. Either that was a lie (most probable) or it was lost in the mail. Either way, I never received a check. The store said they'd send another check less $35 for a stop payment on the first. Then they changed their mind and decided not to reissue a check for any amount. The figure is too small to pursue legal recourse and not worth wasting my time. But it's not so unimportant as to not raise a red flag to others.

    I agree with the post of Michael P. If you notice ,all the positive reviews are from buyers not…read moreconsigners. Please do not consign with this woman, her communication skills are very, very poor as are her business practices. All the bullet points that she lists on her website for how the process works with the consigner are not followed. While I was emailing her my photos of my items I found that her emails were curt with poor grammar, misspelled words, very unprofessional. I hired her delivery person who was exceptional to pick up my items and take them to her store. I never heard from her. According to the bullet points on her website, she collaborates with the consigner on the price which makes total sense. I would want to trust the judgment of somebody that is in the business of selling used furniture, however, after two days, I never heard from her. I emailed her and she said she was listing sofa for 449$, chair for 388$, I do not consider this as collaboration. When I looked at the website and saw a picture of my sofa, the price on it was 499$ ,not the price she told me in the email. I have not heard a word from her in almost 2 months, I will be reporting her to the Better Business Bureau and the attorney general. There is a paper trail in the emails, however I didn't receive any kind of receipt or agreement to sign, lazy, and a poor way to run a business. Technically there is no proof she received the goods and I do not even know if I will ever hear from her and I really don't care at this point , it's quite disconcerting as I paid $300 to have these items delivered to her shop. Since my sofa and chair are still on the featured items on the website, I am assuming that they have not sold , again minimal to no communication. She is making a lot of money with very little effort and the consigners are her bread and butter. They should be treated with respect as if not for them she would not have a business. Please do not consign with this woman. She needs to be put out of business for her poor and shady business practices. I don't know if this is just laziness or some kind of entitlement. It appears she wishes to obtain items to sell with minimal effort , communication, and paperwork. Therefore is there any proof that I delivered the furniture to her? I only see one negative review from another consigner.i am wondering if other consigners have had similar experiences and they are just not posting them. As I already stated, I am reporting her to the Better Business Bureau and the attorney general, I want it on record. Also I responded to her email one morning during the initial process early, before 8am and I certainly don't expect people to respond immediately outside of business hours. But I got curt email indicating "we do not open till 10 AM " which I can only assume meant -why are you emailing me so early? Very rude. She answered my question briefly and said we don't open till 10 AM and it is not clear why she said that as I said nothing about what time they opened in my previous email ,so I can only assume that she meant I shouldn't have been emailing her that early. There was no expectation on my part to have her answer the email before business hours. Rude and poor business practices. I believe I have given several examples of her poor communication and unprofessional attitude/ behavior in this review.

    As a designer, I hired Lisa for a slipcover project for one of my clients, trusting her business…read moretagline, "Slipcovers and More." One of the first red flags was that Lisa does not operate under a written contract. Without a contract outlining scope, expectations, or process, important details were not clarified -- including that the original slipcovers would not be returned once deconstructed. That lack of documentation created confusion and avoidable issues later in the project. The project ultimately spanned more than six months for what should have been a straightforward slipcover job. During that time, requirements changed (she initially stated she would not need the chairs, then later required them), and portions of the work were completed by a "stitcher." The slipcovers that were delivered were inconsistent in sizing, puckered, misaligned, and only one fit properly. We returned them for correction. The final attempt removed the originally promised zipper construction and replaced it with a folded pocket bottom. The slipcovers were returned with oil stains and continued construction issues. When concerns were raised, the explanation given was that the fabric was stiff and difficult to work with. However, the issues were not related to fabric drape -- they were workmanship problems. Even after multiple rounds of revisions, Lisa maintained that she delivered the product as discussed. At the end of this process, the slipcovers were unusable, despite being fully paid for. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this workroom for slipcover construction. Clear contracts, consistent workmanship, and accountability are essential in this industry.

Lisa also helped selecting a fabric that would be cozy, rugged, and easy to clean. They were also fast, and their pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend LJC Style.
