What customers are saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Columbus.

Great customer service. Order came early along with a phone call to ask if he could come ahead of schedule. That was fine. They showed up but had the wrong washer and dryer set. I looked at my lease and realized i'd signed for the wrong set. I called the store and the manager was awesome. She said no problem just send him back and we will get the right set. When he came back later he brought the paperwork with him so i could resign. They were very helpful and the only downside is the dryer doesn't come with a vent. So make sure you have your own if you get a dryer. Other than that they installed everything and showed me how to use them.

Great customer service and totally loving the new designer handbags they now carry! If they don’t have what you are looking for in the store they can get pretty much whatever you want. As far as comments below, I’m confused because they sat me down and explained all expectations up front so basically if you make your payment on time you won’t have to worry about being called or getting a home visit. If you can’t, communicate. But at the same time don’t purchase what you know you can’t afford. See problem solved.🙂

Unlike the Woodruff location I which I had a horrible experience with, this location went above and beyond to help me get the product whether that my family needed. Will definitely enjoy renting from them and enjoy using them in the future

My husband and I came in from a bad experience at another store and the assistant manager at this store Dorain Bivins completely turned my experience around! He was so helpful in picking out a piece of furniture and made the entire process easy from beginning to end. I will gladly do business with him at his store again!
