They have an enormous selection of cooking utensils and tools. Anything from Cuisinart to La Creuset cook ware. They have lots of different instruments for completing whatever sorts of ideas you have in the kitchen. One of the sales people was very nice to us and let us try some of the black garlic tamari vinegar. I unfortunately don't have a lot of space on my train trip, but I will be looking up their website when I get home.

Salesman glanced at the sample and told me to go back to that retailer. He had no interest in showing us what they had. In addition we were there when they were supposed to open up and no one was there. Called and got answering machine. Ran errands and came back about an hour later. Still wasn't open so we went into the clothing store next door. Super nice sales lady at clothing store went looking for the salesman. We got the impression from the salesman that he only wanted big project money.

Very nice, and knowledgeable guy. A straight shooter, and very good prices. Much better than those…read morebig box stores!

This particular knife has a handle made of mammoth bone. Upon further inspection of my knife I noticed a fracture that had not been there prior to my visit to the establishment. When confronted about the issue Wally refused to compensate or even refund the eight dollars I had paid to have my handle cracked. This business although it is local has a blatant disregard for customer service and for quality of work.

Tyson took over a year on a 3 month project. To this day it is not complete. During this project I…read morespent a majority of my nights and weekends working on as well. We hired a contractor so we would not have to do this all ourselves. My husband and I took several days off to complete interior portion of our remodel. We had to paint and caulk a significant amount of trim, stain a wood wall and some additional wood trim, finish a patch job in the ceiling and paint the whole ceiling, we also had to finish painting the walls in a couple places. He had discarded our vent covers, which were not standard. I had to locate new ones and paint them to match our paint palate. He also made the opening to the shower in the basement extortionately wide and did not put studs at each end of the shower to allow us to install a closure for the shower. I had to identify a way to close the shower to be able to utilize it. We have now had water twice in our remodel. Which has left my husband and I removing drywall, replacing drywall, fixing all three egress windows, reinstalling carpet. All of which should have been handled with urgency from Tyson. We will also have to block in the remaining windows, pour the remaining concrete. This overall experience has been overwhelming and very unpleasant. If I had to do this all over again I would NOT! Communication, reliability and concern are not a priority. This experience has taught me a lot! 1- Put a timeline in the agreement with consequences for delays. 2- Request a copy of the contractor's insurance. I wish I had that at this time. 3- Review the contract to ensure you and the contractor cover all expectations from both parties. 4- Obtain and visit with references. (Most of his reviews are friends, family and employees) 5- Be very diligent and thorough when hiring someone to do work for you.
