I used Master Theater Builders to install a rear projection TV and a flat screen TV in my bedroom. They are the BEST. Don't bother going to Magnolia or Definitive for installation of your Home Theater products. These guys do everything, from drywall, to running wires, to repainting... everything is taken care of by their staff. The labor rates are reasonable (usually cheaper than the retail installers), plus they can purchase electronics at cost. I highly recommend using them if your installation includes running cables or punching into drywall. Their work is exceptional and affordable. Plus David really knows his stuff when it comes to the right products to buy. They are on the web at www.mastertheaterbuilders.com.

Affordable, Knowledgeable and Talented

When we needed to hang a new light fixture in our entry with a vaulted ceiling and put an atenna on our roof, we decided that we needed help. A neighbor referred us to Vernon Walton and he took care of both jobs quickly and well. He is also an owner of rental properties so he has knowledge of the right and wrong way to do things to ensure that you won't regret a "fix" down the road.
Vernon is licensed, bonded, insured and very nice. He will be painting the interior of our home after the weather clears (and we can keep the windows open). Give him a call - he will definitely come to your rescue as he came to ours.

This business has changed its name to 360 Construction. Started out great... but after the first couple of months... fizzled out altogether. Repeated promises made. 6 months later I still have a mess on my hands and no construction has begun!

This is a fabric store, but they have THE best selection of GOOD apholstery fabrics. They also can either get you in one of their classes, or hook you up with a good apholsterer. This is a pricey job, regardless of who does it, fabric for good furniture can easily be $15/yard, so be prepared! The women who work there are very knowledgeable, and if you know what perioud your furniture is, they can steer you in the right direction for fabrics. Good luck--this is a really fun task, if you have some $$!

Writing this, I know I'm going to leave out at least one part of my long history with Levitz because there were just so many problems!
I ordered more or less a complete living room and bedroom set from Levitz. The prices were about average, so I expected decent service, but here is what happened:
1) Delivery pushed back a few weeks without notification
2) They arrived without the full order, so I had to wait 2 more weeks
3) Almost everything was damaged, most of which I noticed and had to wait for replacements on, some of which I noticed too late.
4) Some damage was done to my property when they were moving
5) Very rude delivery people (except one group which was excellent)
6) They brought the wrong bed, had to wait for a replacement
7) Lied to me about return policy (I wanted to cancel my order after #1-6 above)
Stay far away, they really do not care about the customer.

This store has a lot of really nice planters for good prices. You get half off of the price listed on the price tag on all of the pots. This begs the question of why they have that price listed in the first place, but what can you do? It's a good bargain anyway.

More
Half-Price Mattress outlet has a guy on the corner of 148th and 24th dancing around, proudly proclaiming the half-pricedness of the mattresses. While mattress shopping I figured I'd check them out.
Strange dancing men can't be wrong, right?
What the dancing man and his sign don't say is that the mattresses are used, refurbished, repaired, and then re-sold. Ick.
I don't want a used mattress, especially for "half off" retail which isn't that inexpensive.
Based off what some people do on beds... go somewhere else.

More 6 months ago
We used Go To Your Room twice, once for a nursery glider, and all went well. However, we also used them to purchase our crib bedding set, and ran into terrible problems. These problems all were caused by employee customer service issues, more specifically, the "right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing." We ordered linen, and then I came in a second time to confirm the order. Three weeks later, my wife got a phone call to reconfirm the same order! I don't know if I wasn't trusted, or they just plain forgot I came in, but it added three weeks of processing time to the work. Our linens came in nine weeks later, only to be done incorrectly. We asked for a throw pillow which was made incorrectly, and now has to be redone. The two customer service issues that bother me about Go To Your Room are first, we always had a feeling like our order was unimportant, even thought we spent over $1,000 at their store. Secondly, when there were problems, they were treated like we were no big deal. The response I got about the pillow was "I will have to reorder it I guess" and two employees didn't know whether or not it was actually done right or wrong. Finally, I ordered a pillow. To me, a "pillow" means a fabric cover with stuffing inside, otherwise it's called a "pillowcase" right? What we got was a pillowcase (cover) with no filling. This is on top of it being done incorrectly. I was never told this, and when I went in to pick it up I was told "Well yes, they are all like that." I have NEVER heard of a pillow just being a cover, and no one bothered to tell me while we ordered (and confirmed TWICE!). This is characteristic of the lack of customer service that we received at Go To Your Room. We will never go back and would not recommend the store to anyone.
