Don't trust that any furniture that comes from here's not pre bed bug infested! Pretty sad traumatizing children under 5 yrs old and then proceeding to be difficult and rude to the point of even blocking communication. It's sad 1000$spent on furniture earns you a 3000$ bed bug treatment!!

The worse place. My brother is on a budget,so he Bought electric bike on payments. It broke down took them two months to get him another one and it did not come with a charger. They refuse to get him one. The bike is worthless without a charger. They will say what they have to to get your business not trustworthy. Out of six months he got to ride the other bike for one month.

I've had nothing but problems the whole time I've been renting from them they have gotten wrong dates for my payments charging my card twice multiple times, I have banks statements, and when my shampooer had stopped working I talked to Victor he told me he would not be doing anything until my payment was up to date and I reassure him that it was and he had the wrong account. But yet no one has came to look at it or even fix it and also I just got a dehumidifier and its monthly payments I'm paying for monthly they charged me septembar 22 75 dollars and then October 5th 75 dollars and I wasn't even suppose to start paying til Oct 2nd and I have yet to talk to them about coming and getting it and the shampooer that I told them to come get! I'm so disappointed in the company I'll never reny from here again!!!

LOVE AARON'S! I have been renting from Aaron's now for about 2 years the compassion of the worker is outstanding. Over the summer, I had some difficult things happen that lead to a few late payments making it almost impossible to pay, HOWEVER the workers were great especially Beth, she was so understanding and patient with me. Communication is key and trust when I say they truly care about they customers.
