Worth the 12 dollar admission. Visited on a warm October morning. Met by an attendant who was so…read morewilling to help because as usual I looked lost. He went on to explain that the place is not an exhibit and that it is not like butchart garden. He was sandbagging the place. Yes, it's a place to get ideas on what to do in your own home. Yes, you can buy potted plants but the plants, trees and flowers are set up like an exhibit and we're ready to impress. I fell in love with the Mediterranean garden, winter garden and the Japanese garden. The Japanese garden by far is one of the best Japanese garden I have visited and the fall colors are not even in full bloom. I can only imagine the colors during fall and the mood of the place in winter. Oh they also have a great collection of bonsai trees. A must visit and support.

Went in and asked about a buffet or China cabinet. Sales woman suggested I try "Habit for Humanity…read more". Not sure if she thought I couldn't afford her furniture (I can) or my style is woefully out of date (and even if it is, no need to be high and mighty about it). Then she wandered away. Ok then. I won't be back.

Warning! If you purchase furniture from scan designs and there was a problem outside of the…read moremanufacturer's warranty no matter what it is, they will not stand behind it. We purchased an outdoor set four years ago, and although it has had very little exposure to the elements, and in fact so little that the cushions are in perfect shape, the set has completely disintegrated. see the attached picture. The set has been kept under a tarp in the summer except for when it is in use. This is about 30 days per year. It has been stored under cover for 6 months of every year. Scan designs company line on this is that we have "unreasonable expectations" and they are unwilling to do anything about it. We asked for 1/2 our money back so that they could still cover their original costs. In return they have offered us absolutely nothing. Their attitude has been to blame us for our negligence with the furniture and to take zero responsibility for selling poor furniture. So if you buy anything from these people, you better hope to hell that nothing goes wrong with it. We are in our sixties and we have bought a lot of furniture over the years, and have never had a problem with any one piece of it, and have never had customer service quite this poor before.

My spouse and I have purchased a number of higher-end furniture products, including some exclusive…read moreaccessories. The sales staff have always been helpful, knowledgeable and supportive of whatever it is that a customer is trying to achieve -- including digging through countless fabric sample books with you, explaining delivery times and providing good communication. The owner seems to be well versed with custom orders and explaining timelines and delivery delays if there are still questions and from my experience, he is collaborative with his staff. We have also bought display accessories that were less than pristine (though already at clearance prices) and staff seemed empowered to give further discounts. The actual selection, prices and value seem comparable to other brick and mortar retailers in Victoria, though most stores tend to have sales staff that come across as a little too eager at times. I have found that Ashley HomeStore salesman and saleswomen have been nicely relaxed and friendly over the years. My only complaint would be the Guardsman warranty they sell on behalf of that particular insurance provider: the exclusions in the policy are very long, the online forms that need to be filled out denote arbitrary categories for a claim that don't appear to comport with possible damages, and the whole process seems like the usual extended warranty scam - with the store retailer possibly getting some type of compensation for selling you the warranty. Don't do it. Just don't. Unless you like throwing your money out on often useless warranties!
