Lazy. Claimed they couldn’t deliver a washer and dryer to the 3rd floor two minutes after he claimed he had to take off the doors. Wouldn’t do business here, i’ll be ordering offline.

I bought quite a few things from them until I realized that they were ripping people off. I think pocketing money maybe but late fees are never mentioned until they are supposedly due??? Don't quit understand and the customer service by so called professional management and the way they talk to there customers. Is absolutely much more training needed. I think you just obviously hire anyone off the street but poor choice. And you WILL loose customers that's why NOBODY was in the STORE. They had ONE GUY DELIVER a large couch and of course it got damaged but had such a hard time getting it fixed but never did. I will be sure to tell everyone I know and make sure they tell everybody they know and on and on word of mouth can make or break a branch especially now. Thank you so much for listing to my frustration.
