I stopped in while running errands and had a pretty average experience overall. The store is big…read moreand has a ton of variety, which is definitely convenient, but the pricing can be hit or miss. A couple items I grabbed rang up higher than what was on the shelf, so I had to wait for someone to check the price, and it took longer than expected. The store itself seemed organized enough, but the checkout area felt a little chaotic with other people having the same issue. I did find what I needed, but the inconsistency at the register made the whole trip more frustrating than it needed to be. I do love all of their holiday displays and it makes it feel so festive and lively.

And every time we brought it in for that they told us that there was something else major wrong with it. Even repairs that were done by them the year prior! At least $600+ every year!! I won't take it back there and I suggest you think twice before you take your riding mower there!!!!!!!!!

The door was delayed more than a month after promised to have it ready, the door was damaged upon arrival, they cut my door for a mortise lock even though they had the order and the template for a tubular lock and they shipped my solid oak door with a "matching" self made of Masonite, WTF! No apologies, no discount, no service. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY EMPLOYING INCOMPETENT PEOPLE WHO ARE UNSYMPATHETIC AND DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU ONLY RECOURSE IS TO WAIT EVEN LONGER.
