I loved how they have a mix of new and vintage pieces throughout the store. The delivery was when they told us it would be and the delivery guys were patient and everything went smoothly.

I felt like I hired a Dr. Jekyll and ended up with a Mr. Hyde and doubts about the work actually completed. I discovered this contractor on the Nextdoor.com site, and he sounded highly versatile, well-experienced, and incredibly warm and personable during our telephone call to discuss my project. He was available immediately, and I could not believe my good luck. I thought that our contract dates over 04/19/26 - 04/25/26 meant that he would start on 04/19/26. I emailed that I looked forward to him starting on 04/19/26. When I did not hear from between 04/17/26 - 04/20/26, I looked him up online. I found mostly negative reviews on Yelp.com and decided not to send the deposit until he confirmed that he had started the project. I then contacted him on 04/23/26 to confirm the project status. To say that this contractor turned into a Mr. Jekyll and Dr Hyde act is an understatement. If the contractor was on-site before 04/23/26, he refused to confirm it. He responded to my email on 04/23/26 only that he would be finished by the next day, or 04/24/26. If these dates are correct, then he either did not do the wood deck cleaning and sealant part of the project at all or do it correctly, as it requires 48-72 hours drying time before the sealant unless extremely dry outdoor conditions which the weather forecast did not indicate, or he did not follow standard procedure. He refused to confirm the status even when I questioned him on my Nextdoor.com post about the experience. I requested pictures of the completed work since I was not in town to see in-person. The contractor was informed before the project started that I was renting the property to tenants and would not be in town during the scheduled work. Instead, the contractor sent me pictures of the bathroom sink and toilet showing what appeared to be construction grime around the perimeters, shaming me for renting the unit in such unsanitary conditions. The unit was cleaned before a handyman worked on drywall and flooring for several weeks prior to Good Earth being scheduled. Apparently, the handyman did not fully clean-up after himself. Below are some of the comments that the contractor made on my Nextdoor.com post: "... The only job I should have done for you is to fix that loose screw in your head." "...Your scummy little apartment was filthy when you had your Tennant move in an i (sic) suggested to to muse (sic) my cleaning lady and you know it." "This was a very simple and straight forward job. Paint two doors, remove as much carpet glue on her old crappy floor and re urethane it. I urethaned my way out the door and left so the floor would be dry for her Tennant to move in the next morning which he and I arranged thru email. I felt no need to take pictures of such obvious work. I told her after her crazy emails that I wasn't stepping foot on her property ever again and her Tennant could provide her with more pics since he had already shared some with her. This is all so ridiculous." - Note: RE the Contractor's remark about taking no pictures of 'obvioius work,' the Contractor was informed pre-contract that I was renting the house to tenants and would not be in town to see the work in-progress or completed. Over my Nextdoor.com post, the contractor threatened to place a lien on my property if I did not pay the bill in full by the following Monday. Fortunately, my check showed that it cleared on that date.

The view from the outside does it ZERO JUSTICE!! I wish i had come here when I was filling up my home with new things! This place is not to be judged by its modest exterior because the inside is a multilevel wonderland of furniture. Every single person who works here is charming. Each associate has a unique personality but all were sweet and helpful vs. aggressive. I joked with my best friend about coming here to be around nice people and just sitting on all of the different couches. I sort of felt like I had entered a different decade because it had such a great small business aura despite having a massive inventory. The family business is evident in the extra care that's given to customers. AND, the cool history of this very unique building was shared with us, as well as information about the numerous customizations offered. So many options here, so much to see, so much to try.

I was given incorrect information by staff and was told to keep my receipt if the items did not fit my window.

This store came highly recommended to me, but after this experience, I will never return and cannot recommend this establishment to anyone.
