I ordered a vase from Vanillawood's online store as my first purchase from this company. The whole experience start-to-finish was very pleasant with great customer service! Right after ordering, I received a personal email from Jenny, letting me know the item was going to be delayed a bit and she wanted to keep me in the loop. I received a few more emails from Jenny along the way keeping me updated on my order status. I really appreciated the wonderful customer service, it's hard to find these days, and my vase is beautiful! I will be a returning customer! :)

I always feel taken care of when I come here. The gals who work here are personable and very professional. The greatest thing was the vision I had and they pulled all the right pieces together to make this vision come true. One of the best customer service I've experienced since day 1. They are always on top of communication and following up with any info. Definitely recommend anyone looking for any kind of interior designing needs!
