BAILEY IS RUDE, unprofessional they tried to give me something I didn't order and then tell me in order to get what I ordered , I gotta pay more money when the contract was already signed before delivery, I had to go to another rent a center which is excellent service, THEYbrought me the stand that I asked for and I got it the same day. RENT A CENTER PLANK RD IS THE BEST
