Buddy's Home Furnishings

I came in to look for some things. I'm moving into a new place and a lot of my things got damaged so I came into Buddy's and was first greet with a warm welcoming by Mr. Charles and his worker with open arms. I let them know what I was looking for a price range that would be suitable for my needs and sure enough both of them made sure I was satisfied and had everything I needed for my new home. They explained options and kept everything in the price of what I can afford. I will definitely be furnishing my entire new home with Buddy's Furniture. Great Job to Mr.Charles and his worker. Great customer service, Great people. I would truly recommend all my family and friends to Buddy's Furniture in Opelika, Alabama. I will truly be purchasing man more items until my new home is complete. Thank you for all that you do.

I've read some unfavorable reviews on-line for Rent-A-Center (not location specific). I have been a customer of the Opelika, Alabama store for just over 90 days and altho Dierdre, Pam, and Rick MAY BE the RAC exceptions, I have received some of the friendliest, helpful, and efficient sales & support EVER!! Can't ask for anything more so for me its 5 BIG stars!!!

Buddy's Home Furnishings

I'm going to edit from my last review because it's only fair I give credit where it's due. I had alot of issues with my last order but in the end rent a center did make things right. I didn't get to speak to the store Mgr charity but I did speak to the assistance store mgr I believe her name was Courtney I'm not 100% sure but she did make things right and provided amazing customer service. She would be the reason I shop at rent a center again.
