Not this past weekend but the one before I tossed a tee shirt into the clothes basket beside my…read morebed. When I did, it caught the end of the shade and knocked it ajar. Tried to straighten it but the socket came loose and I could not reattach it. Did want to further damage it because I am not the most cleaver D-I-Y repairman so on Monday, Susan started researching local Lamp Shops who also did Lamp repair. She found Lamp and Home Outlet in Lincolnton and we made arrangement to drop the Lamp Off. First a bit about the Lamps, the Lamp was one of a pair that my wife had purchased on out Honeymoon in Myrtle Beach in what would be 28 years next month. About as touristy as you can get. Large Glass Body in the shape of a shell in turn filled with colored seashells. The value was not in the lamp but rather in the memories. On Monday, had a Dr's appointment in the am but missed the fact that their hours are 10am to 2 pm, Monday through Friday. I was working on Tuesday so drove over on Wednesday Morning. Kind of hard to miss in that it's a rather in descript build painted blue and grey with a Marine Motif. The gentleman took one look at it and exclaimed, "I haven't seen one of these in years" and explained that the company who made the glass shell had been out of business for well over 10 years. Gave us two estimates depending on what needed to be done and both were reasonable. Susan followed up on Monday and it was ready and the total repair cost was $30.00. Note that only take cash or checks. No Credit or Debit Cards. Picked it up this morning and they did a beautiful job. The have been in this building for 47 years and they were the original owners. Looking over the showroom, great selections of lamps and accessories at very reasonable prices. Good craftsmanship on all. Will be back when we have more time to explore and pickup a lamp or two. Very punctual and very honest in their dealing. Those are traits I appreciate.

Ordered a pair of lamp shades; waited three months and still no shades. Asked for a refund and…read moreafter a week I called and they forgot to send out the check.

This is not the normal sized HF, it's squeezed into a shotgun style storefront attached to the…read moreright of an Office Depot. For being the only Gastonia location this is HF is pretty weak. I'd expect this to be the flag ship store of the area besides locations in Charlotte but it's really not. If you're looking for the usual fair this HF will have it, but if it's in high demand you may be out of luck. Mainly because of it being in the city they sell out fast. The As-Is clearance section is very minimal and it's located up near the front near the office. Customer service is good here and they are always willing to look up a SKU number and run to the back to see if it's in stock. But again they turn over products quick here so don't rely on the app/website for correct in stock data. It's bitten me in the butt multiple times at any HF! I will be honest the Shelby HF has much better selection and the staff is much more relaxed. Every time I'm here in Gastonia it feels tense for some reason. Basically this one is OK, it has the usual items you need, the aisles are tighter than other locations, and be prepared to walk around stocking boxes as they are always restocking like it's a dollar general. On a side note I have seen workers just pull generator boxes off the top of another and let them almost drop to the floor. Maybe he was having a bad day but it made me second guess buying something big from here.

We bought the pressure washer that was on sale for $60 and it worked perfectly and got the job done.

I pressured to purchase what was being offered to me by the sales person/manager. I insisted I did not like pillow tops and he insisted on selling me one and I caved under the pressure 5000+ later I get in touch with corporate and there's absolutely no way to get in touch with them so people be aware when you shop at mattress firm. You have to constantly deal with sales person which to no avail helps. They will not take back the base from the adjustable bed and that alone was $1900. I will no longer be using it and I still have to pay for it because they will not take it back.. So living on a fixed income I have to eat the cost of $2000 of the base from the bed. Does that seem fair so beware the only people that you can talk to will only be the highest in the store is a manager. This is a very unsatisfied customer that will never do business again with mattress firm, and I also will be telling everybody that about the return policy, which is unfair.

So as I'm preparing for my RV plumbing project, I thought to check out a different store to see if they had different stuff. And yes, they did.
