Long story short: I paid her a large sum of money through Paypal and never heard from her again…read more She never delivered anything to me and won't respond to repeated voicemails or emails. Beware - this is a scam!!!!!!! Save your hard earned cash and loads of time begging the credit card company for a refund. Long story long: I called Abby on January 14th to inquire about her services and help for planning out my basement and a few other areas of my home. She came to my house and took some measurements and was very nice. I was even going to refer her to several friends in need of similar services. She sent me her payment terms via email and I quickly paid the deposit (which was considerable) and she scheduled a meeting for February 29th to review the plans she was putting together. She mentioned coming over before that time for additional measurements. I emailed her two weeks before the scheduled meeting to tell her of furniture changes and no response. I thought that was odd, but that we could discuss when she came for measurements or for our meeting. The meeting was set for during the work day, so both my husband and I took time out of our busy schedules and waited for her to arrive. Well, she never showed. I called her and got her voicemail and left a message. Realizing that I may have been duped, I sent her an email the following day requesting a refund. She has since never responded. She absolutely did not do any work for us, and I have not spoken to her since she ran off with the funds I sent her. I have since contacted the credit card company and reported fraud. If this is a legitimate business, which I doubt - this woman is incredibly disorganized and inconsiderate of your time.

I have taken some time before posting this review, because I want it to come from a place of being…read moreinformative and not out of reaction. I used Abby as a decorator for my home when we moved in 4.5 years ago. She was nice, easy to communicate with and I loved her design style. She helped me complete a few rooms with stuff I already had and helped design some rooms from scratch. When we got to my dining room she picked out paint and I never heard from her again. Countless texts, calls, emails to finally get a few months later an apology, but no explanation. I chalked it up to her having something potentially serious going on in her personal life and wished her well. Fast forward to the second week of April, 2018. I had my third baby and first girl. I was SO excited to design a nursery for her. I looked around and couldn't find a decorator whose design aesthetic I liked as much as Abby's. I'd seen via Instagram that she had been working quite a bit on different projects, and decided to reach out and give it another go. She was very prompt in responding, came over to my house when my daughter was 2 weeks old, held her in the nursery and we chatted design. It felt normal and professional. She came back a few weeks later and presented me with the design and sent via email the cost. I paid half of it and she told me she would order everything and schedule an install day. 2 months later (end of June) she came by with a rug and mirror. She told me the other stuff was ordered (lamp, art, crib sheets, fabric, decor) and when she had it she would be back. I received the other half of the bill and paid it. I contacted her seven times via text, six phones calls and numerous emails, and failed to get a response. I decided I would try and finish this project on my own and I reached out to my community Facebook page for help sourcing some of the fabrics. I started receiving messages from other people asking if it was Abby Manchesky that I had hired because she did the same to them. Designers and trades people in the area told me that they had also heard she had done this to others. One woman contacted me and said it wasn't until she threatened taking legal action and filing a police report that she had her money back. I decided I would do the same. I had a friend who is a lawyer draft something up (which I never had to use.) I contacted Abbey and said I was filing a police report and had a lawyer. I said that the number of people that told me this had happened to them or someone they knew was astonishing and what she was doing was wrong. I had a check in my mailbox the next day, no apology or explanation, and I did not take legal action. I really hesitated to post this. I want to believe that she is not doing this to people on purpose, and just really bad at business? But I'm just not sure. I do NOT want this to happen to others and hope this will help people either stay clear and use one of the other wonderful people in the area to help them decorate their home, or for her to significantly change her business practices.

The only one who was nice to us when we were shopping there was chastised in front of us by her coworkers; we decided to buy a very expensive chair from her. When it was ready, 9 months later, we had just replaced our furnace to the tune of $15k, and then our car needed $5k in repairs, and then my husband lost his job, so they generously allowed me to make monthly payments. Fast forward to a year past the time it was ready, a year of making small monthly payments that I couldn't afford with just my salary supporting the family of 4, payments that only added up to about half the full price, i got a call and was told I must pay the remaining balance or pay a restocking fee with the payments I've made so far. They said it was taking up space in their warehouse...its not a large chair, at all, a round swivel rocker, fits one butt...It's a great chair, but next time I'll go directly to the manufacturer, make sure these people don't get any of my money.

My boyfriend and I have been casually looking on and off for a new coffee table for awhile. I had…read moredriven past Stonesthrow many times but had never stopped in. I always thought it was super high end and expensive for some reason. We decided to just browse one Saturday morning and we ended up having a great experience! There is metered street parking in the front of the store, but there's also a large free parking lot behind the building. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and asked if we had been in before. When we said no, the friendly employee gave us the lay of the land and told us there are three floors to the store and that it's much bigger than it seems from the outside. Totally true! I always thought this store was small, but it's really huge. We started browsing through all the setups and were immediately impressed by the styling of each area and all the different items. They have all kinds of furniture, decorations, and rugs. Prices were clearly marked which I appreciated since it shows they're not trying to hide anything. I was pleasantly surprised that I found quite a few things that would fit into our budget, along with higher-end, more expensive pieces. They also have a clearance section which we looked through. The pieces I saw mostly swayed more modern and a little less traditional, which is more my style anyway. Upstairs we found a coffee table that was a major upgrade from our current table, but still in our budget and actually quite affordable. It has a metal base and a glass/ceramic top that looks and feels like marble. Super sleek and sophisticated! Christine was upstairs and asked if we needed any help. We asked her about the process for purchasing as we wouldn't be able to fit the table into our car. She told us that we could pay for it and come back with a larger vehicle, or we could pay $60 for local delivery. SOLD! I am all about that convenience and for $60 they can pack and carry the pretty heavy table. We paid for our purchase and Christine was super awesome with the whole process. I am so glad we finally stopped in to Stonesthrow and I can't wait to go back! She did say that they also do special orders if you know something you want and they are able to get it in store. Highly recommend looking here instead of Wayfair etc. for a local option. They also provide interior design services!
