Their vision was simple yet powerful: offer stylish, high-quality outdoor furniture paired with a personal, neighborly shopping experience. Over the next two decades, Backyard Living became a beloved destination for homeowners and designers seeking a more curated, inspired approach to outdoor living. In 2023, the torch was passed to husband-and-wife team Patrick and Beth Connor. As long-time admirers of the store and its legacy, they brought fresh energy, a commitment to excellence, and a vision to grow the brand while honoring its roots. Their first big step: opening a second Backyard Living location in Short Hills in early 2025. While our footprint has expanded, our philosophy hasn’t changed. We still believe that luxury outdoor living should be accessible, enjoyable, and uniquely personal. We’ve invested in creating a showroom experience that sparks creativity and simplifies the design process. With complimentary design consultations, exceptional customer care, and thoughtful touches throughout—from our White Glove delivery to our seasonal Holiday Shop—we aim to delight and surprise at every turn. What started as a single storefront has grown into a destination for the Tri-State’s most discerning outdoor enthusiasts. And we’re just getting started. Inspired. Outdoor. Living

They lack the most basic considerations and accountability as business owners to their customers…read more By far, horrible communication and lack of management skills demonstrated not just once but, on several occasions, and levels. Stay far away from them as your situation could end up similar to mine, since they don't really care about their customers!!!! We spent over $13,000 on custom furniture and two in stock items for various rooms in our house. Michael told us the bedroom set would take 8 weeks. I called the manufacturer, was told production was running 12 weeks plus 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. Michael had to know this when we ordered! We had the two in stock items delivered, a sofa and a recliner. The sofa three seat cushions were of varying firmness, Michael agreed to replace them. Michael ignored my requests for updates. 10 weeks after we purchased the sofa, the seat cushion replacements arrived. Good customer service would take cushions from stock in their warehouse to resolve this faster. The bedroom set, along with two cocktail tables and one side table were delivered. The finish on one table was incorrect as per our order and delivery was refused. Our bed frame of the bedroom set is not on the truck, paperwork has the item yellowed out. Never got a call from the store owners to apologize or discuss what's next. I texted Michael, said he would call me the next day - did not happen. I left a VM on his phone, still no response. A few days later he contacted me after I suggested that we cancel our order. Michael said that the manufacturers of both furniture pieces were working to replace the items and would take care of them immediately (whatever that meant). 6 weeks later, the (new) replacement footboard the headboard, and two side rails were delivered. The bed except for the (replaced) footboard are not the same color as the rest of the bedroom furniture set. I sent pictures to Michael, 2 weeks later I called for a status, he mentioned that the manufacturer would like a drawer from the nightstand to ensure a color match. I rushed the drawer over to his store the same day. He originally told me that he could pick it up the next week when they deliver a different piece of furniture. Well, I am glad I dropped the drawer off since the other delivery wasn't for another 3 weeks. Bed delivered, after waiting 11 weeks for the headboard and two side rails that are the correct color and the nightstand drawer, in total 9 months since order date!

The order was cancelled twice in talking with salesman Scott, once on the phone, once in person. When the owner called for the delivery date, he was told the order was cancelled. He said that salesman Scott didn't have the authority to cancel the order. They kept the entire bill on the credit card and LIED to the dispute dept. Michael said the order was a "SPECIAL ORDER" and was not cancelable ( LIE ) He also said the order was on their truck to be delivered ( LIE ) he was told personally that the order was cancelled the week before. He never supplied the credit card company with a refused delivery order. He sent a copy of the bill of sale, but beware, on every order form there is the statement that all sales are final. This is their catch if a dispute arises. Long story short, stay away from people like this. There are more reputable furniture places out there not out there to rob you. This dirtbag wanted to charge a delivery fee ( we received nothing ) and a 25% restock fee for an item cancelled a week before.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!…read more You have rights as a consumer under the Consumer Fraud Act. The sales order you signed is not valid or enforceable according to NJ law that protects your rights as a consumer. It does not matter if your sales order says "Special Order", "No Refunds," "No Cancellations," "All Sales Final" or "Store Credit Only." - this is illegal. Eddie R./Bilal A./James Marstiller/Betty Jones at Furniture & Mattress Gallery/Furniture & Mattress Outlet/www.myfurnituregallery.com/whatever they are deciding to call the furniture store inside of Unique/MyUnique Thrift are engaging in deceptive and fraudulent business practices. According to New Jersey Administrative Code Title 13 Chapter 45A Subchapter 5.1 (NJ Admin Code 13:45A-5.1-4), your purchase order/receipt/invoice MUST state a promised delivery date and they MUST deliver your furniture on or before the promised delivery date. If unable to do so, they MUST provide written notice to you notifying you of their inability to meet the delivery date and offer you the option of a FULL AND PROMPT REFUND. Failure to do so is a deceptive practice under the Consumer Fraud Act. Supply issues DO NOT waive your rights. The sales order you signed IS NOT VALID. It MUST state the following: 1) The merchandise you have ordered is promised for delivery to you on or before (insert date or length of time agreed upon). 2) If the merchandise ordered by you is not delivered by the promised delivery date, (insert name of seller) must offer you the choice of (1) canceling your order with a prompt, full refund of any payments you have made, or (2) accepting delivery at a specific later date. It is ILLEGAL for them to put "all sales final," "no cancellations" or "no refunds," on the sales order. If your sales order says any of this, it is NULL and VOID and UNENFORCEABLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU SIGNED IT, New Jersey Statute 56:12-15 (N.J. Stat. Ann. § 56:12-15) prohibits consumer documents from waiving a consumer's rights. WHAT TO DO to get your money back if they refuse to refund you in full: 1) If you paid with a debit or credit card, contact your bank or card issuer and notify them of the fraud. You can dispute the charge and your bank will investigate. If you financed the purchase or your bank doesn't help you, file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ 2) File a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs https://njconsumeraffairs.state.nj.us/file-a-complaint/ If necessary, find a Consumer Law Attorney in NJ and get a FREE consultation. These are all free resources provided by the government that are available to you so you can get the refund you're entitled to. You should not have to pay a dime or forfeit any percentage of what you paid to cancel the order and get a refund. https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/regulations/Chapter-45A-Administrative-Rules-of-the-Division-of-Consumer-Affairs.pdf (pages 31 & 32) https://regulations.justia.com/states/new-jersey/title-13/chapter-45a/subchapter-5/
