Please know they DO have a good selection of furniture.
As newlyweds looking to furnish our new home with "grownup" couches, we stopped here because they had a sale advertised as 50% off. We were assigned a sales person, as furniture stores normally do, who periodically checked in on us and gave us suggestions. My husband and I prefer to look around ourselves so after letting her know several times that we would find her if we had questions, she finally backed off and gave us some space.
We soon learned that the 50% sale wasn't at all a true sale. It was kind of like shopping at Kohl's, where they show you a price that the furniture COULD be sold at somewhere else, and took 50% off that price - not their own prices. So happens that if I go online and look up the same furniture, they are at the same exact prices as when we bought them and thats without the so called sale. If I had known that then, I would have walked out based on principal. But, their sales tactic worked and we were in the door.
It took us some time to settle on a set we could agree on as my husband is quite tall and wanted something that could accommodate his height. The set comes in different fabrics and colors - "Available in over 1,500 fabric choices and over 300 leathers" as stated online, but in the store, our sales person made a face and said "Oh, it costs extra to order it in one of the other colors and it will take 10 weeks to fulfill the order." To me, that was a load of BS - since we were looking at one of the other colors the couch actually came in, we were not requesting anything special to be done. But since we had been to several stores and it took a long time for my husband to find something he was happy with, I agreed to buy the couch in the ugly fabric and color it was displayed in, along with a "seat and a half". The "seat and a half" just looks like a love seat with one cushion instead of two. Every time I called it "the small couch" or "the love seat", the sales woman would interrupt and say, "NO, it's a seat and a half". For the money the customer is paying, I think I'd let them call it whenever they like.
The transfer of money was fine. Since we live on APG, we let them know which gate to use and the sales woman wrote that information down on the invoice. They accommodated by giving us a call one half hour before delivery.
The first couch arrived about a week later or so, no problems at all. We were told we would hear back from them about the delivery of the "seat and a half." We made the purchase on 2/7 and actually got our second piece delivered on 3/9 - over one month later. We had to call weekly to find out what was going on with our second piece and no one seemed to know. Finally, they scheduled for a delivery on 3/4, which was cancelled due to 2-3 inches of snow and rescheduled for 3/9. I don't mind cancelling because of weather; I wouldn't want the men moving the couch to slip and fall or hurt themselves, but knowing that we have already waited close to a month at that point, you would think they would reschedule it for a closer date.
The day comes for the second piece to be delivered and we get a call telling us they were 45 min to one hour away but there was a problem: one of the guys on the delivery truck would not be allowed in APG due to security reasons and the guy calling said my husband had to help him move the couch from the truck, into the house.
Seriously?
It's been written on the invoice that the delivery was at APG - why would they have someone who is physically unable to enter the grounds be on that delivery run? They have known for over a month by that point. They also didn't follow the instructions given to use the proper gate for visitors.
Anyway, my husband helps them move the couch. A little while later, we get a courtesy call from the store asking how things went. My husband, who does have a back problem and is way more patient than I am, let them know very nicely that he had to move the couch because of the conflict with one of their employees. It didn't seem like it was such a big deal to them.
I don't think I would go back, even for the matching ottoman to go with our set. read more
