We used Harry's corner for both carpet (they installed) and to buy laminate flooring (DIY). The prices were fair, and the product itself is fine. However, the customer service at Harry's Corner was literally among the worst I've ever experienced in my life. They were both RUDE and DISHONEST, ordering too much quantity and then hitting us with hidden fees. I highly recommend that you shop elsewhere for your flooring. And, frankly I suspect the positive reviewer below was paid. No way that came from a real customer -- What real customer uses a goofy marketing line like "SAVE A HAT FULL"??
The detail of our experience:
CARPET & INSTALLATION: We purchased a mid-grade carpet for the 2nd story of our home (approximate purchase price ~$2500). The carpet itself is good, and the installers were prompt and friendly while they were here. However, the employee who took the measurements clearly over-measured, and we were stuck with it. Even the installers stated there was a lot of extra footage ordered -- and I still have a roll of it in my basement to prove it. They mis-measured, and we got stuck paying for it. Also,we payed the extra $100 to have them move our furniture for us. After they left, I noticed large scrapes on both nightstands, two gashes on the foot board of the bed, and several scrapes on the dresser. We called the store to complain about the damage to our furniture, and their response was unapologetic. They said they would send someone out to look at it; we scheduled an appointment, and they did not show up. We rescheduled the appointment, and again they did not show up. The damage to our furniture was never corrected.
LAMINATE FLOORING - We bought Shaw Laminate flooring, and we're happy with the product (approximate purchase price ~$2000). I made the mistake of letting Harry's team come out to my house to do the measurement, to tell us how much to buy. If you plan to install yourself, DO NOT let them do this - They significantly over-estimated the amount of flooring needed, and also ordered a bunch of trim pieces that we didn't need. Not only did we not need them, there was nowhere they could possibly have been used. It was an obvious tactic to get a higher sales $$. When I refused pick-up on the unnecessary items, they didn't argue, and put a credit back on my credit card. It took me a few minutes to realize they only gave me back 75% of the amount. When I questioned the amount, they explained that the 25% they kept was a "Re-Stocking" fee - If I hadn't noticed, apparently they weren't going to tell me about this. Keep in mind that this occurred when I refused pick-up, meaning the materials never left their warehouse! They wouldn't have even disclosed the fee if I hadn't ask. Pure dishonest business practice. When I expressed concern to the salesman about the fee, he deflected me by saying he couldn't do anything, and that I would have to talk to the manager -- I later found out that he WAS the manager on duty. Apparently he just didn't want to help.
In summary - Harry's Corner's flooring is cheap. That's about all I can say. You had better read all the fine print, get everything in writing, and don't be surprised if they still find a way to rip you off. They are unethical and unprofessional. read more
