I fell in love with the place. The art is very well done and looks and feels higher end. I got an idea for my kitchen and within a week I purchased a significant piece. It's perfect in my kitchen. Really finishes off the room.

When we first entered this beautiful space we were immediately welcomed by the owner's happy…read moregreeting. My friend and I looked at all of her furniture and accessories and noticed she also has fabric swatches for furniture pieces and swatches for rugs. My friend spotted the most GORGEOUS and one of kind hall tables we've ever seen by local artist, Heather Allen. Lesli told us all about Heather's skills and talents as we admired the table. We measured the table and left the shop. My friend decided it wouldn't work in her space so I purchased it for mine! Lesli went above and beyond to make sure this exquisite piece was delivered on time and in perfect condition FAST. I am over the moon about Summer Home and Garden! My only regret is that I didn't find Lesli and Summer Home and Garden BEFORE I decorated my place on the beach. Lesli's design aesthetic is just perfection.

Terrible Experience! I ordered a specialized Italian knife…read moreset that their web site advertised as being available. I paid close to $700 back in May 2016 and never heard a thing after numerous emails and phone messages left. Finally on 7/11/2016 I reached someone only to be told that not all the pieces were available but some might be. I then had to call again on 7/13/2016 to be told that they had no idea what was available and nothing was being done....so in my frustration I cancelled the order and was told I would get a refund. It is 7/30/2016, over 2 weeks and NO REFUND. I have initiated a charge back from my credit card company. This level of incompetence is UNREAL. This place knows my phone number and my email address but chose to NEVER contact me about their inability to fulfill the order. Today the exact same knife set is STILL ADVERTISED as available on their web site. Pathetically run business and in my mind, completely untrustworthy. How can it take TWO MONTHS to get back to me?? I wasn't in Afghanistan! I had to exert the effort investigate this and force the refund I was promised. This knife set was sentimental in nature and I WASTED 2 MONTHS with this merchant when I COULD HAVE FOUND THEM ELSEWHERE. As it stands not the items are being discontinued and are NOW even harder to find after waiting over 2 months! Thanks for your incompetence and horrible communication!!!!! NEVER PATRONIZE THIS PLACE!
