Perlora Leather

Recently I have gotten into milling around stores like this. Not sure what has come over me but I…read morekind of like it. I like looking through items and thinking what if I had this. I have also come to the realization that you don't always need to buy new when you are looking for unique. I really enjoyed this place because they have something for just about everybody in here. What one person may find tacky another will enjoy immensely. The downstairs is setup nicely. You can easily maneuver through the area and see everything they have on display. Don't think that this is all that they have in store, venture upstairs. Upstairs takes a little more time to go through. But it is still a great area to go through. I was drawn to this map of the city, of course I was too late as it was sold. Would make a great wall piece. There were also an abundance of globes that were dated, but kind of awesome. I also eyed in on a coat rack, but had to talk myself out of it as I really didn't need it. Don't mind the noise when you are upstairs as this sits underneath Arsenal Bowling. At least don't think that there was another floor to this and that they were moving furniture around, as my friend did. Really amusing and confusing to the employee when we were in here.

I have been there 3 times in the past 6 weeks and purchased something each time (a piece of…read moreoriginal art, an MCM umbrella stand and a mid century ceramic table lamp). I would purchase more if I had a need for more furniture because the selections is incredible and the prices are great. The staff is very friendly and it is great that they have a very nice and friendly dog. I will be going back every few weeks to check new items and love the fact that the website is updated with new pieces they get in. A great store that adds so much to the neighborhood.

Weisshouse

Weisshouse made it up to me by giving me a credit of $1000 on a new piece of furniture. I bought…read moretwo more chairs from them, not electrical recliners!

I ordered a very expensive slipcovered sectional from Weisshouse. Upon washing, the slipcover…read moreshrunk and it is was nearly impossible (I spend about 45 minutes) to get back on. I thought it was my fault and that the slipcover wasn't washable so I didn't contact the company at that time. About 2 years later, I was looking for a chair to go in the room, and I showed the designer a picture of my room. She immediately commented that the slipcover looked too tight. I told her at that time that the slipcover shrunk after washing. After sending out people to look at the sectional, it was decided that they would split the cost of a new slipcover with me. However, the owner, Stacy, and the manufacturer would admit to no wrongdoing and would only say that the "new one shouldn't shrink." After spending over $25000 at their store, I wasn't prepared to pay any additional money to maybe rectify the situation. The most troubling aspect is that I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they didn't even have the decency or courtesy of responding or trying to work with me to resolve this problem. The designers and support staff are very helpful and supportive (with a great eye) which is the only reason that I gave the store 2 stars. Unfortunately, they and their customers are not supported by the owner. I have included pictures of the sectional with the tears that have occurred from trying to get the slipcover back on the sectional.

I got a cool vintage bronze gauntlet thing there once. The other time I went they had this vintage matching suit that fit me perfectly. And every once In a while they have trash bag sales where you can fill a whole bag for a flat rate (I think it was like $10/bag) Pictured below is a few of the pieces I've thrifted from there in the past

It kind of just blends in. Inside, I do have to echo what someone said, it's mostly clothing with small sections for odds and ends that include some housewares, electronics, and literature items. Like someone else said, you might find a gem of an item in here, but it may not be your go to establishment to thrift at. It is a lively space when you walk in here. It is run by volunteers and they are always in high spirits. It can actually be an entertaining time in here depending on who is manning the shop. Oh, the pricing can be very reasonable as well.

It was so much better, we're so happy we went through the process of the exchange, and so glad we got to deal with Ray.

Their comprehensive in-house design and build approach was unlike that of other contractors, and their cooperative communication was instrumental in developing and meeting our expectations. They made understanding us and our house equal priorities. They educated us about the condition of the house, brought in an engineer, and designed projects around improving and reinforcing the house. They found and corrected issues created by the house's original builder. They work well coordinating their work with other contractors. With one exception, there were no call-backs. A minor installation error discovered years later was cheerfully and promptly fixed as a warranty item, a reflection on their commitment to their clients.

I'm very glad that we parted ways when we did so that we could work with someone that was much more pleasant to deal with."
