Please be cautious purchasing from this store. I purchased a piece of furniture (for a decent price) and when it was picked up the next day, the hardware had been stripped. When I called to speak to a manager regarding this, I was informed that the dresser was "certainly not" changed and had been there for "years" even though it was not marked before I bought it. The only solution that I was offered was a store credit, which is pretty useless considering they won't be getting any of my future business.

The other reviews regarding the variety and history of items available are certainly true, but PLEASE don't leave anything there for pick up later, you may not get what you paid for.

I have posted the same review at multiple sites in hopes of reaching as many people as possible, this is not how customers deserve to be treated, weather or not they are purchasing previously...
