The furniture that I rented from Bert’s I love it, now I own it ( great quality furniture ). I might go back and get something else. They are very professional and helpful. Thanks

Horrible, horrible, horrible! Read the reviews. Any company that rebuttals a review with announcing people’s personal account information instead of accepting constructive criticism is a huge red flag! They will probably come on here and state I was late with my payment, and I was, due to where my payday landed. I did however make payment arrangements with the owner and that very same day they showed up at my house asking my parents for the payment I owed. Then they did it again and that was enough for me. They are charging 4x’s the amount of my purchase and the interaction with these people is definitely not worth the price I was paying for my purchase. They are bullies and are borderline harassing. Then after I told them I was going to return my item, they started to send very rude condescending text messages to my phone saying they were going to turn me in for theft of property, because I was at work and couldn’t take my item back right then, I ultimately had to block them all together. Don’t waste your time or money with this place. Anything would be better then this place!

Friendly environment. Great communication. Great selection. I thought I wasn’t going to get the sectional that I wanted because it wouldn’t fit in my door & they made it happen! Go check them out 🙂.
