Customer reviews
Arona has been absolutely wonderful. The customer service was a great. I went there to get a bed and couch. And then went back to get coffee table and end tables for my living room. I didn't even have to tell them my name as they remembered who I was by name. I have had a wonderful experience with them and will use them in the future. I highly recommend them.
They hooked me up when I needed the help and could not afford all the expenses at once an had the need. They where kind and very understanding multiple times and worked with me when I had no ability to hold.up my end
I have been a customer for over 15 years and I’ve gotten nothing but courtesy & respect from the whole staff, even the delivery drivers. I’m happy with their business
Love your team from your Iowa City store! Nikki is the sweetest and gives amazing customer service!
This is an update to the initial review I made of a one-star I am changing my review to a four-star because after I initially made the review, corporate reached out and helped me to come to a place of resolution with the issue so I thank Erik at corporate for stepping up and following through.
My husband and I have been getting appliances and furniture from them for years now; the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Nikki is great to work with and keeps the store running like a charm; love it.
