I bought a top of the line Sealy Stearns and Foster Reserve mattress from Mike at this store…read morethinking that it would live up to it's price of over $5,000 but it did not. I had a week of sleeping on a very uncomfortable mattress and at 130 lbs I left a permanent indentation near the head of the bed which deformed the area. When I called to have it returned, I was told the manager would require a 20% restocking fee! I was able to negotiate a 15% fee although that is still over $800 for a faulty mattress. When I called to let the manager know I had not gotten reciepts and felt the fee was not fair since it was a faulty mattress, he said he laid on the mattress and there was nothing wrong with it.

Mid Century Humboldt is the ultimate vintage mid century modern furniture store around our area,…read morelocated in old town. Between 2nd and 3rd at C street. This is a small independent shop with a great selection of true vintage mid century furniture, at very competitive prices. The owners are very friendly and personable, and extremely knowledgeable of the time period and what constitutes true mid century style. Sleek lines, with a minimalist look, beautiful real wood finishes and true craftsmanship. Not anything like the cheap particle board knock-offs they make and sell today. This is the real deal. Recently acquired a set of matching danish solid wood nightstands that are just beautiful and paid much less for the real deal in comparison to the knock-offs I had been looking at - like almost half the price less. I was expecting to pay much more for real wood and true vintage, the prices are very reasonable by comparison. Well worth a visit and stop to shop, and feels good buying a true vintage product and shopping locally supporting a great small business. 4.5 stars - rounded up for the great customer service experience. Will be back again. 00440

The annual ArMack orchestra rummage sale weekend is a huge fundraiser for the combined high school…read moreorchestra, of Arcata and McKinleyville high schools. This event draws hundreds both days for this two day fundraiser event. Held in the gymnasium at Arcata high in November, this event helps raise money for the orchestra students annual performance and trip. Every year the orchestra travels either internationally or in the USA to perform in an environment of substantial exposure for these young musicians. This fundraiser allows the students to raise money individually as well as for the group collectively. There are always lots of great items available for thrifters and bargain hunters alike. Lots of clothing, footwear, artwork, glassware, kitchen appliances, furniture, tools, collectibles and vintage items to be had. Tables and tables fill the gym and there is even a high end section. This annual event is a great way for the community as a whole to show support for this great music program. Well worth to stop to shop and show support! 00149

It was a little squeaky and when we went to tighten the screws, we found that the screw attaching one arm to the back was missing! This is not a minor thing and someone should have looked over the chair before selling it (especially since we paid almost $100 for it). I might forgive something like that if I bought from some random on Craigslist, but I expect some basics repairs and cleaning when I buy from a store.
