What customers are saying
Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Columbia.
My experience with Cleek's was great. They were very helpful and explained everything very clearly. They also couldn't be nicer. I also appreciate the fact that they let us transport the refrigerator on our own so we didn't have to wait for delivery. The refrigerator works wonderfully.
I have been a customer at Cleek’s for several months now, and I can’t say enough good things about Neil. The very first time I walked into the store, a beautiful vanity immediately caught my eye. Neil took the time to show me everything about it, explain its features, and help me decide if it was the right choice for me. Since then, he has been amazing to work with. He always checked in when I came by, asked how I was liking my vanity, and made the entire payment process easy and stress-free while I paid it off. Today, I officially made my final payment, and I couldn’t be happier! When I came back looking for a new bed, Neil once again helped me explore my options. I ended up choosing a sofa bed that fits my needs right now, especially since I’ve been struggling with sleep lately. He listened to my ideas, worked with my budget, and helped me prioritize what I needed most, even though I also have my eye on a desktop computer setup and an outdoor egg chair in the future. Neil is always friendly, funny, respectful, and never makes customers feel uncomfortable. He genuinely cares and gives honest advice when you need it. As a bonus, if you’re a horror fan and love the Scream franchise like I do, you’ll appreciate that he has a voice that reminds me of Stu Macher! If you’re shopping at Cleek’s, I highly recommend asking for Neil. He has made every experience enjoyable, and I’ll definitely continue doing business with him.
Abby W. Is amazing, she always puts her customers first and strives to insure they have the best experience every time! She encourages Cleeks customers to buy the things they need without being pushy and works hard to get them the best deals available. Abby is a one of a kind asset!!
The store was nice had everything plus, nice variety and prices were good the staff was very nice and helpful. Thank you to our sales person Neil and our delivery guys Anthony and Rodney.
Liz Conway was my sales rep and she was amazing. I called 15 minutes before they closed and explained what was going on and she was on it. She made me feel like I was part of the family. She definitely went above and beyond. Thank you Liz!!! You are awesome
