I stopped in A-1 on Stoughton Road, Madison, Wisconsin, yesterday. Upon walking into the door with…read moretwo other females of color, we were greeted by Scott Bauman with loud passive sarcasm. He proceeded to make statements like, "Don't steal anything, do not put anything in your pockets, etc., with others in the store. This behavior towards three women of color is unacceptable. It is inappropriate to imply or suggest we steal or take property without paying for it. This was very offensive and insulting to us. I did not purchase from this company, nor would I purchase from it after this experience.

We stopped at their warehouse/larger store (there is also a design center downtown) and found a large showroom full of things I'd very much like to buy. There's a clearance area off to the side that sells floor models and returns at good discounts. We were looking for some lounge-y chairs and there were options aplenty. Helping us was very knowledgeable Barb who was never intrusive and let us look around. After making the rounds, we kept coming back to one specific chair - Barb let us know they had 2 in stock from a cancelled order (most things are made to order) in our preferred color, plus they were included in their anniversary sale. SOLD!! I work on the commercial furniture side and felt that the quality here was oberall very high and the prices, for what you get, are pretty fair. It's not IKEA prices to be fair but it's also not made in China crap that will fall apart and bottom out in a few months. You'll love it if: you appreciate mid century or modern design, want a high level of quality, want to customize items. You won't like it if: you need cupholders in your furniture.

If…read moreanyone is looking for reasonably priced furniture in the Madison area, they should come here. Don't be fooled by how the store looks, you are getting quality for your dollar. Also ignore the expensive sofas near the door if they are out of your price range. Ayers has a wide selection of price ranges and styles. We were able to choose something more modern for a small budget. Although we could have picked something traditional. They have a great in-stock floor selection, as well as an insane custom order area. Our salesman let us take our time and walk the whole store. He was kind and personable. Very low pressure! We ordered that day and we were able to receive it less than 6 days later! We could have received it sooner, but we are quite far from the store. The moving men were very quick and efficient. They didn't even bump anything, never mind actually damage anything. They let me know the timeframe they would be here all the way up to 2 mins away. The couch is sturdy and will last us a long time.

They are knowledgeable and have quality products but it can be overpriced. On several occasions I have given them the benefit of the doubt on providing polite service and this time I doubt very much I will ever return to this store to even browse. At the moment I came in and set the items for consideration, I was told that you can't put items on the counter. Okay, would you please tell me how I am supposed to read your mind on this matter, or if this is the case, could you put a sign stating such a request? It just came off a little too brusk for that moment. I've been there before and felt pushed off but let it slide due to the interesting things in the store. There will be serious debate if I will ever enter that store again. They seem to be bottom line, only about money and not really customer service.

Habitat for Humanity Restore is this crazy shop. It has so much of all kinds of everything:…read moreconstruction, furniture, electrical related items, etc., etc., that it's almost hard to imagine. This shop is stocked full of so much stuff, it is amazing. If you're looking to furnish your home with vintage chest of drawers, desks, lamps, and a little bit of everything else, this is an incredible place to find it. If you're redoing your home, your office, your studio, or any other place, and you want to add some really truly unique elements to it, this is the place to go. When I say this business has all kinds of unique everything, I am not exaggerating. It's really an adventure to go inside. Because you never know what you will find. It's really fun! The moment you walk in the door of this business you'll be hit with a visual cornucopia of a little bit of everything. They have paintings, artwork, glassware, you name it... I cannot articulate the amount of truly unique stuff they offer, because they really have a lot. Of course, the staff here are always happy to help you out. But, in a lot of ways, you don't even need them, because all you have to do is go and find that unique something, grab it, pay for it, and you're out the door. Overall, this is one of those truly unique businesses that I recommend to anybody who is ever in the area. It's really a very fun viewing and shopping experience.

I had heard they do not work on commission. Turns out that is 1000-% accurate. It is with a very grateful heart that I learned this is true. There was 1 person (Troy) that greeted us right away. (Later we also met Cody). He gave us the layout of the land and told us to let him know if we need anything. YIPPEE!!! I will (try to) spare you the play by play, but I have to say, we were there for a LONG time. They were always available for questions. They kept an eye on us enough so that when we were struggling with anything, they gave us a minute and then would offer assistance. There were some manual recliners that were hard to push the footrest back down-that was the only issue. Okay. Not keeping this too short. These guys were so incredible accommodating. We were there just for my sister but I have been needing a new mattress and decided this is where I wanted to spend my money. The mattresses I tried out were amazing and also had great side sleeping pillows on it. Between my sister and me, we bought 4. We were there was past closing. Repeatedly assured up that it was not a problem. These guys are a class act. I will ALWAYS go there first when searching for more furniture. They even carried the (boxed) pillows out to the car for us. They were very flexible for delivery. I simply cannot say enough. ONE MORE THING-I price checked everything when I got home and they sell for significantly less than other vendors. Dare I say that I learned that I can trust them??? My sister and I had a BLAST furniture shopping. Who says that??? Give them a try. You will be glad you did. Cheers!
