Pricing feels hit-or-miss

Reviews show mixed experiences with pricing, including mentions of higher-than-expected costs.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Hours and showroom access frustrate

Closed showroom hours make it harder to compare options in person.

Multiple reviewers describe difficulty when the showroom or sales desk is closed, especially when they wanted to see samples, evaluate styles and colors, or compare products on-site. One review also flags problems with how the website presents availability, along with another mention that the lobby/showroom was closed. While some staff were still able to help by phone during a closure, the lack of in-person access still comes up repeatedly.

common 5 reviews mention this

In-stock and quick pickup matters

Several reviewers highlight fast pickup and in-stock availability.

Some reviews emphasize that items were available when they needed them and that orders could be prepared ahead of arrival. Others mention quick unloading and an in-and-out experience, which reduces time spent waiting. Even with complaints about service and pricing in a few reviews, efficiency and availability are recurring positives.
