As previous people have already commented, whoever I spoke with on the phone the very first time I called was so rude that it surprised me greatly. I'm astonished a business can be run with that kind of demeanor toward customers/prospective customers. Just, wow. Very sad.

They reupholstered one of our treatment tables in our clinic and did a beautiful job with it, however communication to get it done was less than par- they wanted me to come in a choose a fabric when their hours are minimal and we operate all day long so there was no chance I was coming in. All we needed was vinyl and they finally proceeded with it. After it was completed, Chuck called and was super rude saying they haven't been paid (it's pretty standard to receive payment within 30 days for a service that was done for a business). Our account specialist was on vacation not in the office and I
