First time renting here and I must say the service is horrible . Mike is a very rude individual as I try to explain to him I was not in town due to a family emergency he’s telling me basically he don’t care in little words . After there was multiple charges trying to charge my credit card my bank picked it up as fraud and block them from trying again. Long story short I DO NOT RECOMMEND RENTING HERE AT ALL

I don’t recommend doing business here. I haven’t even received the item yet, and I am completely disappointed in the lack of professionalism from this company and its employees. My rental was to arrive Saturday morning at 9. Got up and waited 3 hours. No delivery, took a nap thinking they might come later. Nope. I had to call them myself, just to find out the delivery driver called out so they wouldn’t be making my delivery. Let me know that themselves. That would’ve been the professional thing to do. So then I was told I would have to wait until November 18th for delivery that is the only time that will fit my schedule and I will be home. So we agreed for 6 PM Tuesday, November 18th. They didn’t even check my references until Tuesday. And it is no 6:30 on Tuesday and I still don’t have my rental and I still have not gotten another call from an employee or a manager about this. I will be requesting a refund through my credit card company because I don’t even wanna talk to these shady people at this location anymore. Update! See video!! Smh

Prices on their website are deceptive they give you a one lower price and then tell you that much higher price in the store and on top of that the products are at least $1000 if not more than if you just went to a retail store and bought it if you need to do rent to own go somewhere like errands or Rent-A-Center they are much better and more honest

I believe the young man was named Trevon great customer service. I believe he can become the next assistant manager. He handled all my questions well with a great attitude.

Corey and team are great! You are greeted when you come in and left to look around while you make up your mind on your purchase. There's always friendly conversation and they never try to pull anything over on you. Very honest and kind people. I have leased five contracts with them so far and will continue to come back!

Personnel were prompt in serving me. Helpful in helping me select my furnishing from their store. And finally, even delivered my item the same day I went in the store. Im very happy with the entire experience I received & will make future purchases & highly recommend the store on Dorchester. Thanks Corey for having my item delivered today!

Corey has exceptional customer service. Jr knows how to talk to people. Bernard is the one you don't want to talk to. He is so sickening and will call you so much. He double charged my card for two months in advance and I am in monthly payments and my account was caught up. Only advice I can tell you is be careful leaving your card number at this places cause people will run your number without your permission. Overall service would have been better.
