Hit or miss mostly however extremely disappointed with the prices. Next time I will take pictures and post. Not only used but broken and the price is still marked higher than what it would cost to go to the store and buy it brand new! absolutely ridiculous….

I found a table today at around 5pm, paid for it and 10 minutes after at the time of pick up, they could not find it!!! Kenisha offered a refund, but it was upsetting that it just vanished?!? When you find something cheap without a tag and when you ask for someone to price it, they give you a long face and yell at you that cannot be sold but the table I bought had no tag since I was paying for it at the front but it managed to disappear??? The guys swore that they didn’t sell it even though it didn’t have a tag, the only guy at the dock just pointed to me at the closing manager, that dismissed me like i was a crazy person. Please train your employees a little better, no customer skills whatsoever, they didn’t care to find it of course I was the one going back and forth throughout the store to see what happened, the other female employee just yelled, you got your refund right? Which I replied it’s not the point! Very poor service!
