James Ray
Buddy's Home Furnishings

The custom service was amazing. They were very friendly and to be more specific Mr Chuck & Mr Coach were very nice to us during our purchase. Coach smelled very nice and Alexander was very friendly as well. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves while still making a purchase. Great people. Highly recommended.

I'm not new to RAC it's always been a easy process. It's been years since i dealt with RAC & i just recently moved & needed a sofa set & i went to a place i won't say the name & i was very disappointed because the furniture just felt so cheaply made & wasn't comfortable at all & returning it was quite a hassle so i went online at RAC found something i liked & instantly got approved & I'm very comfortable with my payment but most of all i absolutely love the sofa set i chose it's very pretty, comfortable & feels well made I'm a very happy customer thanks RAC.
