Owner is arrogant and condescending. I purchased $10,000 worth of cork flooring, then two weeks…read morelater, they had a sale 15% off. I contacted them and asked for the discount since it was within 30 days and the owner laughed. Many professional companies offer price protection within 30 days of purchase, unfortunately this is not one. Its not so much the discount, its the manner in which Joel handled the conversation. Subsequently, I planned on another purchase in May 2025 for retail of almost $12,000 but now will find another company. The smug attitude of the owner and the lack of a reasonable price protection policy leads me to think "buyer beware". I have high doubts this company would stand behind its products if any issues arrive. I say, find another company. We as consumers need to make businesses honerable by shopping elsewhere.

Selection of "spiritual" books is very slim, and occupies a very cramped area of an low-ceiling upstairs. You can find all of this kind of product cheaper online. In a big city, a gift shop like this can work, but the selection of gifts are usually much bigger better and more original. I felt like I was visiting a 1985 bookstore. Also -- where's the commitment to green?

Failed to get the most pertinent one indicating it was a photocopy of an original. I feel this information was deliberately withheld to close a modest sale.

An artist himself, he is a visionary who brings topnotch artists to the quaint town of Fairfield, Iowa. As a fellow gallery-owner at one time, and an artist, I have always appreciated his curatorial voice.

His response to that was "That's your problem." Yet another instance where business owners have forgotten that the public is who pays their wages.
