So sad to pen a negative review of a local business.... we…read morebought 2 unfinished pine adirondack chairs 2 Summers ago, primed & painted them as directed, kept them indoors in the winter months. Both chairs have failed. The cheap pine rotted away where the armrest meets the back brace. When I brought this to their attention I was told "out of warranty" and replacement parts ( which I would be paying for) not available for 8 months. I asked about getting some sort of discount on 2 new chairs and was told " we don't do that" again, sad

Messed up my rifle/scope…read more Air rifles have a bad recoil, and mine had shaken its scope out of place, gouging a groove in the barrel. I took it to Michael, who reattached the scope cradle, but a week later, after 200 shots the problem recurred. This time he reattached the scope cradle with a screw, and ever since then the rifle shoots way too low and to the left - about 4 inches to the left of target from a 5-yd distance. Michal completely denied the problem had anything to do with him - even though the rifle shot perfectly before I took it to him. His work on the scope created the problem - and he washed off his hands. I'll look for a more knowledgeable and reliable armorer.

We had them come into our parents house which is on the market for $350,000, and they said they were interested in taking everything we had except for the piano and a loveseat. They said in about a week, we should expect a check. Almost 4 weeks later, we received a check for a little over $30.00. The list included a large dining table with a bench and chairs, a sofa and matching chair, a hutch, a buffet, antique stereo cabinet and so so much more.

They have extremely poor customer service and are very rude and arrogant. We spent over $25,000 on kitchen cabinets and they treated us like dirt. They delivered the overpriced cabinets and they were missing parts and were measured wrong. I am not being sarcastic when I say you can get BETTER customer service at Home Depot?
