Didn't really see any shops that interested me here. Of those I did stop into, the people were…read morefriendly, but the prices were a bit overboard. And I was surprise with the lack of local goods (eg olive oil place is all imported but no info on the labels). I parked in their lot because I figured I would easily find something I'd like, support local, and validate my parking. Probably could have enjoyed a light meal here but not my kind of place - too tourist trappy.

I searched the exact cabinet online and the cheapest I saw it selling for was $500 more than we paid, and this doesn't even include the delivery fee which is much lower than most stores. (And, no, the one we purchased wasn't "as is" or defective in any way.) The place is HUGE and is organized well. The sales staff greeted us and then left us to look on our own. If we had a question, and we had many, they were close enough by to beckon them over, but otherwise, they let us be.

My top praise goes out to Jeff for maintaining his high standard of integrity, honesty, and above all dedication to his workmanship. For those wondering, he also cleaned up my watch strap without any extra charge. What an honorable watch repair expert. I certainly echo what others have said here.
