Buyer beware. Among other items, I purchased four upholstered chairs ($595 each) 2 years ago for a…read moredining table rarely used. The seats began to sag approximately 5". After flipping them over I saw the straps used underneath were elastic, stretched and sagging. I contacted GDC and they stated that the chairs were from Universal and out of warranty. I asked what the warranty was and the very annoyed employee (Kristen or Christine) said she would find out if that's what I wanted her to do (never heard from again) and that the store would give me their wholesale price on another purchase. She said that would be 30% off retail. After years working in retail I seriously doubt GDC only marks up 30%. And why oh why would I spend more money and not expect the same poor quality? They never offered to have them repaired by an upholsterer. Having no real options, I spent my Sunday with my trusty staple gun repairing all four chairs hoping to get another year or two out of them. Note to customer, when spending $595/chair at GDC realize it only has a one year warranty (found that out on the internet) and the quality is subpar at best. Oh, and before I addressed the sagging issue, one chair's caster spilled ball bearing onto my wood floor leaving scratches where they caught under the wheels. GDC DID send me 4 new casters. The point being the quality might just be rivaled by a big box store with little responsibility falling on GDC. Needless to say I will not be back and will share my experience with others.

It took 4 months for the item to ship when it had originally shown as in stock and ready to ship. From reviews of others it appears this is a common practice. I did finally arrive. It was damaged. See pictures, top left corner canvas, coloring cracked and peeling. They claimed this was "brushstrokes". The wood frame was cracked and stapled back together. The retailer refused a refund. A credit card claim and a BBB claim were filed. If you've done business with this store and had a similar experience, I highly encourage you to make a Better Business Bureau claim. There needs to be some accurate accountability here across multiple forums. There is extremely negative reviews for this business for issues have delayed shipment, damaged items received and not honoring or deceptive Return policies. So disappointed with this business. Read the reviews from actual customers not the bot customer reviews on their website.

For visibility here are some: Date: 07/14/2026 Type: Customer Service Issues Status: AnsweredMore info This company hides their return policy and doesn't clearly state that returns are not allowed. In addition I was over charged for shipping and they refuse to refund me. Business Response Date: 07/14/2026 Ms. REMOVEDplaced the order for this desk chair on 6/24 and was delivered on 7/13. Shipping was calculated at checkout and she completed her purchase. She was provided with the Terms & Conditions at checkout. They clearly state that all furniture is final sale. They are also provided on our site for all customers to read: meadowblu.com/policies/refund-policy. Ms. REMOVEDhas also threatened to sue us over her purchase and dispute the charges with her bank, claiming this was an unauthorized purchase. She authorized the purchase, received a confirmation email and tracking for her delivery and at no time mentioned this was a fraudulent purchase. Please see attached email screenshot from Ms. REMOVED. Initial Complaint Date: 12/29/2025 Type: Product Issues Status: AnsweredMore info I write to complain about Meadowblu's false advertising practices. I bought chairs directly from Meadowblu: REMOVED. There are two measurements relevant to my complaint: the width of the entire chair (23.4 inches) and the width of the seat (18.1 inches). I logically define "seat" as the space available for physically sitting, and I define "chair" is the width of the entire product (seat and arms). Upon delivery, the seat measured almost 2 inches narrower than advertised. I contacted Meadowblu immediately. Meadowblu responded with falsities and excuses. First, they said chairs were "final sale." This is not true (see the product page and exchange policy). This conduct alone warrants a reprimand. Meadowblu concocted another excuse. Meadowblu advised it is not responsible for the misrepresentation because the third-party chair manufacturer is permitted to deviate from the product measurements by several inches. Meadowblu is apparently relying on a defect liability waiver with the manufacturer to avoid culpability for its own false advertising. This policy might absolve the manufacturer of any liability owed to Meadowblu, or vice versa, but it does not absolve Meadowblu of the responsibility owed to a consumer to represent products truthfully and accurately. There is no disclaimer on Meadowblu's website stating that product measurements may deviate several inches from the description. It wouldn't be because no consumer would buy furniture from a company that doesn't provide accurate descriptions. Meadowblu refuses to exchange or refund the chairs, having the audacity to suggest Facebook Marketplace as the solution to my problem. Such burden-shifting to a consumer is inherently unfair and deceptive. Meadowblu marketed the chairs, charged my credit card, and made a profit. Meadowblu is solely responsible for its website content and must be held accountable. Business Response Date: 01/05/2026 Meadow Blu does not engage in false or deceptive advertising. We operate as an authorized retail partner for third-party manufacturers, with products made and shipped directly by the manufacturer. All product dimensions listed on our website are provided by the manufacturer and reflect their official specifications. After delivery, the manufacturer reviewed multiple photos and measurements submitted by the customer and confirmed the chairs fall within their acceptable production tolerance for handcrafted furniture. Seat width is measured across the seat cushion surface, not the distance between armrests, and when measured accordingly, the chairs met specification requirements. The manufacturer therefore denied the claim, and we does not have authority to override this determination. Per our published Refund Policy, furniture items are final sale unless damaged or defective. As the chairs were confirmed to be within specification and not defective, the order did not qualify for return or refund. Throughout the process, we communicated promptly, provided regular updates, and acted in good faith to advocate for the customer with the manufacturer. While we regret that the product did not meet the customer's expectations, we respectfully dispute the allegation of false advertising or unfair business practices. Customer Answer Date: 01/06/2026 Complaint: REMOVED I am rejecting this response because: Meadowblu's website provides two measurements for the chairs (overall width at 23.4 inches and "seat dimensions" at 18.1 inches). If different measurements are provided, then they must have different meanings. After I alerted Meadowblu to the discrepancy in measurements, Meadowblu asked for multiple photos from different angles of the chair, which I provided. None of the measurements of the chair are accurate, based on what is

While putting the sprinklers in they busted a gas line, and damaged our cement driveway with equipment. The trees were poor quality but yet they charged an exorbitant rate to purchase them. We were at their mercy because we needed CO and they knew it! We called twice to let them know the trees were dropping all their leaves and on the second visit, one of the employee mentioned that we got B grade trees instead of A. He left me with the impression that they were going to replace them, but, when he spoke to the owner, they changed their mind. The trees eventually had to be replaced by another landscape company because, Carolina Landscape refused to stand behind their trees. They lied to us and told us they paid one price for the trees and what they didn't know is one of the employees left the receipt behind so we knew the purchase price. (a fraction of what we paid ) We couldn't look at the trees anymore, so we hired another company to come in and remove them and plant new ones. Come to find out Carolina Landscape had left the trees in the original baskets and had not removed the basket from the root ball. The owner did absolutely nothing to make this right. Months later, our grass was getting hot spots and the coverage was not good. Mount Pleasant waterworks came out to check the pressure and informed us that Carolina Landscape had put in a pex line that was too small for the job. So, we had to have the pex line removed and put in a more appropriate size line. After putting in that line we had no more issues. I highly recommend not using this company! They have no customer service, it's a revolving door of employees and the owner just plain doesn't care. Using Carolina Landscape was an extremely costly mistake. I hope you

When I first moved to Mount Pleasant 5 years ago, Abide A While was the first nursery that I went to. As soon as I walked in the annual section, I was met with the warmest smile by an older lady that instantly made me feel at home. I forgot her name, but after talking for a while she had mentioned she was with the company for about 40 years! Being as happy as she was with the same company for that long is definitely is a statement in itself! Unfortunately she retired not too long ago, but now I've met so many other friendly and knowledgeable people at Abide A While. Bruce and J.D.(?) are my go-tos. As for the layout, I like it a lot. Pretty much all the annuals are to the right. Houseplants are on the left, inside with the household items. (All of the household items are beautifully displayed and consist of great quality). Outside, towards the rear of the building are the perennials, trees, and some tropical plants. One of the most important things about Abide A While is every plant is labeled and the majority have full descriptions! If the description is not on the pot, it'll be on a nearby post or printed out on a card. There's nothing more that I hate than to have to do full research on the spot for a plant that catches my eye. So kudos to them for providing that information. I'll end with saying Abide A While is just beautiful, inside and out. I especially love going there after a stressful day. It's so serene, and even majestic in a way. If you haven't been there before, it's worth going for that reason alone.
