Been with Buddy’s for a few years, staff is helpful, friendly, and on time. Never had an issue with staff or furniture, would highly recommend.

I was a returning customer and was in and out in within 20mins with my new item they were very fast and polite

Ebony Powell

We were in a bind. Needed a sofa today. We received it within 2hrs of completing the order. Charlie is congenial, professional and a customer service wizard. And a pretty good surfer I'll bet. 🏄‍♂️ Rochelle & Joan

Buddy's Home Furnishings

I have rented from this location for almost 20 years. Paid off more than 27 different items. Yes it always costs more than buying straight out but they are offering credit at easy payments so you should expect that. I have always paid on time and never had any issues with any of the staff, pay your bills as due and you will have zero problems as well. Always have received great service, they even ran me over a new dryer at the very last minute when I needed it after my dryer broke at 4:30 in the afternoon.
