Disappointed! We…read morepurchased a desk with book shelves attached to the top of it, and the cashier said it could be shipped to El Paso from Ruidoso. Unfortunately, when I subsequently contacted the owners to arrange for shipping, they told me that Ruidoso was a "small town" and finding a delivery service was unlikely. With that, we went back to pick it up ourselves. (A six-hour round trip.) The owner did help my husband load it into our Jeep, and told him that the screws which held the two pieces together were in one of the drawers. (We couldn't check ourselves because they had wrapped the pieces in plastic for transport.) Upon returning home, we discovered the screws were not there. (We ended up buying replacements from the hardware store.) The piece is beautiful, but the owners were less than careful in making sure the transaction was a success! I was sad, disappointed and very sorry for the situation, especially since I WAS such a frequent customer. I believe that merchants should take care of their customers, because the customers take care of them!

So many wind chimes, so much local art and artists from all over represented in the store. I loved that they are caring for 3 cats, whom they've spayed/neutered when they were abandoned. They sell these wonderfully made quilted post cards, and the proceeds go to a fund that helps neutering and spaying the local stray population of cats. We will definitely go back for that one bat I really wanted, but could not afford just yet.

My wife and I stopped in, to add variety to our furniture shopping experience. After working with…read moreMichelle, we quickly regretted buying any furniture pieces elsewhere. Michelle is patient and thoughtful in her approach to home furnishings. She listens carefully. She looked at pictures of our new home. She asked my wife the style she envisioned. From there, she went to work. She pulled out catalogs. She pulled up pictures. She grabbed us fabric choices. She went over padding and metal options for bar stools. She was patient while we tried every mattress set. We felt zero pressure to buy anything. We bought here because the prices are very fair and their experience shines above the rest. We won't be buying any further furniture pieces without first reaching out to Route 54. We have now had most of the furniture delivered. The delivery crew could not have been better. The guys were friendly, but stayed on task. They were clean, well spoken and precise with the handling of our furniture. These guys far exceeded any and all expectations we had. We could not have been happier with the delivery process. I would recommend Route 54 to anyone. From a young Airman, just moving time town, to the retiree looking to furnish their entire dream home.
