ReStore then called me back the next day to say they WOULD take them. By then I had spent $1,000 to have my contractor come back, rent a dumpster, and start dismantling them. If ReStore had told me from the beginning they would not take them, we could have used the dumpster already at the site. As it was, I stored the cabinets for a month waiting for ReStore, and the initial construction dumpster had been removed.

Chelsea has helped me with three rooms so far and I couldn't be happier! She is professional, attentive and truly brought my vision to life. Chelsea spent about an hour on the phone with me before the design process even started, so she could fully understand my lifestyle and vision. She even asked where I like to go clothes shopping, which to me is such an important question! In addition, Chelsea answered any questions in a promptly manner and she stayed within my budget! I cannot recommend her enough to my family and friends, and I can't wait to have Chelsea design my next space!

Staying mainly on the west side of town, I usually go to the Kohl's in Brewster if I have some of…read morethat sweet, sweet Kohl's cash burning a hole in my pocket. But since I needed to make a Costco run (and I'd mentally prepared myself for it) I decided to visit the east side Kohl's off of Federal Road. After this one-time experience , I think I'll stick with the one in Brewster. The outside of the store is kind of messy and looks like it's not maintained....it could literally be abandoned and you wouldn't tell the difference. You walk in and it's a standard Kohl's, only more tired and flatter. I know that may be hard to picture but when you go to the Brewster Kohl's and walk in, there's always a bright, seasonal display that is very welcoming and puts you in the mood to shop. Here, it was just a mess of carts haphazardly sitting around in the entry and some luggage that I wasn't sure was on display or was just waiting to be stocked. The selection was okay and they had stock, but there were a few areas that it looked like stocking had started but then been abandoned halfway through. Like boxes and carts and ladders just sitting in aisles and between racks. Not a big deal and maybe they're gearing up for back to school but just a little messy. What was the least appealing thing about this place is how long it takes to check out. We were the second people in line and just wanted to purchase one pair of swim trunks. It took a long time and there were no self service options such as they have at Brewster. Some dude had a complex return apparently so it took three cashiers several minutes to resolve that while the line kept growing. Then when we got to the cashier, he seemed really burnt out, which I can get and I empathize with. So a self-service option would have been quicker and a better experience. Anyway, the key takeaway from this review is that if you're in the greater Danbury metro area, take a ride on 84 West to Brewster and check out the Kohl's near the Southeast train station.

I am sorry I did NOT read Bill T.s review before I went to the Kohl's in Brookfield, only because I…read morewas desperate to find pants that fit me and husband was going to BJs. WORST, MOST AWFUL, TEDIOUS CHECKOUTS EVER. While there were several checkout stations open, most of the cashiers spent half their time wandering around moving merchandise and hangers from one place to another and not checking customers out! And it had to be obvious to them that there was a line of 8 - 10 people waiting! Maybe because of the Kohl's cash situation and that takes more time but I don't remember waiting this long to check out of a store (actually, there was a Kohls in Massachusetts that was this slow). Don't know what their problem is. Obviously, bad management or maybe no management at all. There were enough people but they were not doing their jobs. If you live in western CT, try the Kohl's in New Milford. I think that store might be a better experience. Try to avoid going to this store in Brookfield. I will now be shopping ONLINE using my Kohl's cash, now that I've found the right size for pants. Won't go to this store again. Not worth it to stand in line for half an hour, sweating.

One side of the recliner quit working sometime in early July. A repairman came out to the house on 7/25 (not a La-Z-Boy employee, their service is done by a third-party outsource). He supposedly diagnosed the problem. Parts were ordered, taking about 2 weeks to get. Second appointment with tech to install parts on 8/7. Unfortunately, new motherboard (MCM BT) doesn't solve the problem. Technician can't get the product working and doesn't have a clue what's wrong. Tells me the loveseat needs to be replaced and writes report to Corporate to such effect. Tech tells me to call Corporate office and speak to a Supervisor, which I attempt on 8/8. No answer. Leave message. No call-back. I call Corporate again on 8/9 and speak to 'Leona'. Ask to speak with a Supervisor and am told there is only one person working (Alessio). End-up speaking with 'MaKayla' who tells me that Corporate has approved replacement credit, and that I need to now proceed with the local retailer (in Milford, CT). Call salesman who sold us the product on 8/12. Left message. No call-back. Speak to him on 8/13 only to find out he doesn't know anything about the "paperwork authorizing the replacement credit," but will look into it. Now it's August 19 and all I hear are crickets. THIS ENTIRE PROCESS IS RIDICULOUS, FRUSTRATING, & EXHAUSTING. I am so disgusted and disappointed in La-Z-Boy's customer service (with the exception of MaKayla B.), with their third-party field service who seems inept at best, and with the quality of their product. And they are supposed to be the PREMIER BRAND in the category? I don't think so. At this point, I just want my money back -- all $3,339.37. Please bring the check when you pick-up the loveseat! BTW, if you think my review is the exception, I urge you to dig deeper online. Thousands and thousands of La-Z-Boy customers are dissatisfied with either the product or with their customer service. It is so bad that there is actually a 6K+ member group on Facebook for 'Dissatisfied Customers"!

When you need lighting (as a homeowner) I don't think I have ever been to a better location than…read moreValley lighting. My wife got a recommendation to VL from a coworker. Now I recommend VL to all of you. We have been shopping for lighting as we update the outside of our 1970's CT colonial and our kitchen. Countless websites with thousands of pictures led to some frustration and we decided to go visit some lighting stores. Some stores may be highly recommended but are really for designers, they are by appointment only, have a very limited supply for a showroom, but offer a really big screen so you can browse their website (ugh!) Others have a bigger supply in the showroom and have nice people who understand lighting. Then there is Valley Lighting! They had a huge selection to look at (and touch) a friendly staff who really knew their inventory, availability and options and were also full of ideas that made us open up the options we were considering. We worked with Zac and he was really great as we waffled on every aspect from design, color, and size. We settled on a design for the outdoor lights in about 20 minutes, after searching for the last several weeks. We purchased 2 Large, 2 Medium, and 2 Small lights to mount on the exterior as well as 3 post lights for the driveway. They also had a huge selection of lightbulbs and guided us through witch wattage and color would work best for our application. This seems elementary that a lighting store would do this, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. We were able to bring home two lights which I mounted (pictured) and the rest were ordered and we expect them in 2 weeks. Now that we accomplished this project it is time to finalize the kitchen lights and for that we will certainly return to VL.
