What customers are saying

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

They are so nice and friendly love their staff they are awesome would recommend them highly. They were here when they said they would be. The delivery guys were awesome they had to remove the door and take everything off my deck to get the furniture in and when they left everything was put back exactly the way it was. Awesome guys. Would recommend them one hundred percent.

Furniture and More

Great store, plenty of selection to choose from. Even if what you want is not on the show floor the owners themselves helped to find a product on their website! They have great deals and are more than helpful with every small thing I was looking for. Between my indecisiveness and lack of knowledge when it comes to furniture I would recommend everyone come to this store for their needs. My dogs now have their very own bed! Thank you for all your help!
