The top of the $400 dresser I bought was covered with a runner and on top of the runner was a…read moreselection of several large lamps for sale and several Knick Knack/tchotchke items for sale. Although I looked over the dresser, opened the drawers, etc., I did not move all the lamps and many assorted knick knacks. I then paid for the dresser and made arrangements to pick it up the following day. When I returned to pick it up, there was a VERY LARGE split in the wood, ALL the way across the entire top of the dresser and way too wide to repair by any method. This major damage had been covered by the runner, the lamps and the knick knacks. So . . . Usually, normally, sellers will be transparent about damage, flaws, chips, cracks etc., and then it's up to the buyer to move forward with the purchase or not. Because the damage was so extensive, I did not think the dresser could be transported without breaking completely in two. Because the damage was hidden/concealed, I felt deceived. I pointed this out to the staff, who launched into their "no refunds" spiel before I could even finish my sentence. I was rather abruptly offered to the "opportunity" to leave the dresser (and my $400) behind if I no longer wanted it. Still, I extend Kudos to Twice Is Nice for serving seniors in need!! Thank you to the volunteers who offer their time. Thank you to the folks who donate. If an item is damaged, you don't have to attach flashing lights or a neon sign, but it's not "nice" to cover it up, then pile it high with multiple heavy items making the damage almost impossible to detect until too late to make an informed purchase decision.

Wonderful finds in excellent condition! I always spend too much, but come home with great things!…read more If you make it to Charlottesville, I highly recommend this place look out because Twice is Nice has two stores in the same general vicinity.

Last fall we invested in a beautiful tree that sadly did not make it through this unusual winter with so many weeks below freezing. But, they brought me a new tree and installed it just as they said they would. I will be returning to Waynesboro Landscape and Garden Center in the years to come as we turn our yard into the peaceful sanctuary for people and birds and pollinators that we envision.

We determined that our guest bathroom granite top for the lavatory area was "fake" granite. I…read moredidn't know there was such a thing. The guest bathroom is not large and the lavatory sink cabinet is just the right size. If we had to replace the entire collection (mirror, wall cabinet and sink cabinet) in that bathroom it would probably be in excess of $4000. Monument came out, made a temple of the old granite lavatory top and cut it in the correct shape. Their crew came out and popped the fake granite top off and installed the new one. Works like a charm, looks 1000 percent better and they did all of this for a very reasonable price and quickly. Obviously they had to put in a new sink which was superior to the one they removed. These guys excellent and I recommend them completely without reservation.

After living in the same house (built new) for 33 years and finally decided to move into the…read morecurrent century and get granite countertops. After shopping at the big three local chains, I spotted this little place and suggested to my wife that we just stop in to see if they were competitive. Warning. Do not get turned off by their office/display room. It is small and could use a good cleaning. We were greeted by Francia, who turned out to be the daughter of the owner. We had our estimates from Home Depot, Floor and Decor and Lowe's, and we also knew the how much granite we needed. The estimate we received from this business was less than half the cost of the other three. We were then given the opportunity to look at the pieces of granite that they had on hand. They only had 7 pieces, but explained that as they sold some they got replacements so their stock was in constant rotation. We found a piece that we liked, and made arrangements to have Francia come over to do the measurements. From the time we agreed to purchase it and installation was four days. We wanted one L shaped piece that was 12 feet long and then at the bottom of the L 5 feet wide, with a cut out for a large country sink. The other benders insisted it would have to be a two piece installation. This company reluctantly agreed to doing it as a one piece. Installation day came and they did an absolutely beautiful job. They put downs floor covering to protect our floors the installer were very courteous and efficient. We could not be more pleased with final product. We feel we got a great value for our money, saved over $2,000, and helped a small local merchant.

Your order takes months and if you attempt to contact Mr. Rosenbaum, he won't return your calls. We began this long journey back in February. It is now August and the order has still not been satisfactorily completed. Calls and/or emails to Mr. Rosenbaum's "office" really a national phone answering service or to his cell, are ignored. He demands 80% down and now I know why. His installer, his son, told us that one of the installed blinds was defective and one lacked the hardware to properly install. Our last contact was May 29th. We are still waiting for a replacement. All in all, a wholly unprofessional operation. R. W. Wise
