Painted Tree Boutiques - Gastonia — Local services in Gastonia

If it were possible, I would rate them with zero stars! I used to be a vendor at Painted Tree, and whenever I wanted to terminate my lease, they made it difficult for me to retrieve my deposit. One day, I called, and someone mentioned that the manager was unavailable, and I was advised to call back. However, another person informed me over the phone that they were uncertain why I hadn’t received my deposit, as it had already been sent out. I should have gotten it.

If you want to be successful with your booth, you need to come down on your prices, because there are many of us that pay attention to what items are for sale and prices.

Overall I do love to come here and check out the handmade items, and unique items, but I refuse to buy something that other stores have that is...

Lovely store! It seems to be a consignment shop or something more like an indoor flea market. Lots of vendor spots with some really interesting decor, clothing, candles, jewelry, and so much more. And even though it seems to be geared more towards women, there are some stuff in there that men will find appealing as well. I found what I believe to be the perfect gift for a long time friend celebrating 20 years in leadership at the same organization. I even found some things for my home that I want to...
