George was incredibly helpful. We had no plans to go into the store but happened to walk by it and ended up buying a couch. With George's help the whole process was super easy and they delivered it within 48 hours. The delivery driver's couldn't have been nicer also. George is really good at what he does, I never felt pressured and he went above and beyond at every step.
