What customers are saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Mason City.

My wife and I stop in one day just to check things out and see what it was all about. We were greeted with respect from Brian and Jessica. They walked us around showing what they had to offer. We finally decided on couch sectional. Delivered the next week. Love how respectful they were with delivery and set up. Six months later down the road we stopped back in and decided to see if there was different couch because we were not liking the way the one couch looked in our living room. Brian had something there that was perfect so we ended up exchanging/trading for different one. Also got a new tv in the process. Now recently we stop needing a new washer/dryer. Brian said we just got the new GE washer/dryer combo in and that is something we wanted to try to save room. They delivered the next week Brian came with to deliver it and make sure it was delivered safe (also they are not light). Fast forward I will continue to do business with them paired to other big store places that only deal in certain things. Always love the respect they give us and not trying to force us into something we don’t want or not sure on. They will also work with you to find what you want. If they don’t have it they will find it and order it for you!
