I must confess that I am not an impartial reviewer, as the owner, Rick Hess, is among the nearest and dearest of friends I have had the honor of having in my lifetime. He is a man who understands true quality, in both furniture and in human interaction, and this shines through in his business and in all his dealings with with his customers, for whom his concern and compassion is always of foremost concern.
It is possible that our society as a whole is beginning to forget the old-time value of taking deep pride in our work and in our craft; Of taking truly good care of our fellow man not out of concern for profit but out of the pure desire to be kind and warm of heart before all else. If you want to step back a little in time, to a place where those things are still vital concerns, step into Grapevine Furniture and meet Rick Hess. Browse quality made, all hand-picked vintage furniture, and listen to the stories behind every piece. Have the rare expierience of being intently listened to by the knowledgeable owner and proprietor of a successful business, instead of having to talk to some high school employee who can't stop texting on their phone and who can offer no substantive guidance on any purchase of consequence.
Be warned in advance- Inventory doesn't sit around at Grapevine for long. Rick's prices are low, and each item is hand selected for quality, for its excellent condition, and for its desirability. This is a powerful formula for moving furniture along to new homes, so if you see something you like, buy it. I say this not because I'm his friend, but from hard earned experience at his store. Many times I've hesitated overnight on a piece, only to return with the intention of wrapping it up and finding the same space filled with another unique piece.
I can also tell you that it is obvious to me that the other main driving force behind Grapevine's success, Rich Sal, is equally motivated to keep each and every customer have the best possible expieirence, and I can see that Grapevine is an even better place for his dedicated efforts there.
If you haven't ever stopped by, go take a drive down there now. If you haven't been by in a while, make it a point to go back. It's a rare chance to go back to what is best about America, what is best about how business...
Read moreMy boyfriend and I just moved into a house and were in the market for a couple box springs for a couple of queen mattresses we had. I started the search on Let Go, and saw a post for a King mattress with box springs for an unbelievable price, I messaged IMMEDIATELY. Just as quickly as I inquired, I got a response back from Richard, the owner. At first, I was skeptical, a king size mattress, including the box springs, somethings gotta give. He invited us to come and take a closer look, which we did, and it was just as clean and just as beautiful as in the picture. Still we had some reservations, we asked questions, he answered them fully. He wasn't pushy, just trying to make the sell, he gave us lots of information, and gave us time to look around and talk it over. We bought the mattress and they had it delivered that same night. We have never slept better! If you are looking for a damn good deal on some damn good furniture, this is the place to get it! Thank you Richard for everything! We love our bed and will recommend you every chance we get!! Happy...
