I'm sorry to hear about the negative experiences that other reviewers have had. I've never had one…read morehere. I've been dealing with EHF since abut 2012. I got two washers there, a dryer, a mattress set, and my sister got a castle themed bunk bed for her kids. Just about anyone can finance anything in the store, as far as I know they have very relaxed standards on credit. It was my understanding that so long as you have a job, three references, and the bank doesn't scream and set your application on fire - you can make payments. My sister defaulted on her payments for the bunk bed last year; she'd been in a terrible car accident, we lost a family member, and as she tried to cope she let several of her obligations slip. Several months later, probably six or eight months, it came up and she said she was afraid to contact them because she expected they'd want all her past payments up front with fees. I mentioned her situation to them the next time I went in to pay my bill. The gentleman I was speaking with was kind enough to say he hoped she was doing okay before anything else. Then he told me he would be happy to just let her pick her payments up again, even though it was already flagged to go to collections. Since she lived so far away, I asked him if I could take responsibility for her account without actually putting it on my own account, so it stayed in her name but I got the monthly reminders. It wasn't a problem, and the bunk bed is now payed off completely. I cannot express my appreciation that they had not inflated her balance with late fees, and did not insist on a large bulk payment to get started putting her back into good standing. That he asked, and seemed entirely genuinely concerned if she was okay, was so kind. Thank you, sir. Sure, there are occasionally warehouse errors - my new washer was a bit late because the model I'd originally decided on had some shipping problem and I'd have to wait, and it was frustrating, but it's a local business and things happen. The staff was sympathetic and attentive. After about a week they made my first choice (which had not been available at the time) manifest instead, somehow, at a better price than we'd originally discussed because of some tax-free sale. (They have all kinds of sales pretty frequently, but I'd say their anniversary sale in November is the best.) Plus they delivered, set it up, and then for no extra charge they lugged my old broken washer away. I'm happy with the selection, and the service. Going in to pay my bill always comes with a pleasant chat and it's really nice for at least one of my errands to be so casual and social. I've also never gone in there and been told they wouldn't at least try, and that's worth a lot in customer service.

I purchased a mattress today and after I left there felt compelled to write this review. I…read moreoriginally went in to buy a new mattress towards the end of closing time. The young male salesman was really awesome, heard I was just looking for a mattress for the spare bedroom, and brought up the fact that they had a really great mattress that was delivered and immediately returned because there was a spot of dirt on it. Regularly was $800.00 and would be half off. I came in immediately the next day and the "manager" Mr. Gantt (yeah he's the manager but he sure doesn't have good bedside mannerisms) argued with me regarding the price. Said oh no it's already such a great deal because It was returned after two days. Then as he rang me up, told me the real story which was that it was repossessed after a week in crescent city. And after payment was processed he proceeded to tell me that there shouldn't be any odor. Also made my boyfriend load it up by himself while he drank his morning coffee and watched. While I'm sure it's still a good deal, it makes me uncomfortable to get three different stories on one item. I realized why this store is always empty every time I have ever gone in it. Bad business. I gave it one star because I'm hoping that the mattress will really be free of odor and In hopes that it really was never used even though it was in fact there for a week. I will NEVER buy anything from this place again.

Mid Century Humboldt is the ultimate vintage mid century modern furniture store around our area,…read morelocated in old town. Between 2nd and 3rd at C street. This is a small independent shop with a great selection of true vintage mid century furniture, at very competitive prices. The owners are very friendly and personable, and extremely knowledgeable of the time period and what constitutes true mid century style. Sleek lines, with a minimalist look, beautiful real wood finishes and true craftsmanship. Not anything like the cheap particle board knock-offs they make and sell today. This is the real deal. Recently acquired a set of matching danish solid wood nightstands that are just beautiful and paid much less for the real deal in comparison to the knock-offs I had been looking at - like almost half the price less. I was expecting to pay much more for real wood and true vintage, the prices are very reasonable by comparison. Well worth a visit and stop to shop, and feels good buying a true vintage product and shopping locally supporting a great small business. 4.5 stars - rounded up for the great customer service experience. Will be back again. 00440

What should have been a straightforward 300-square-foot hardwood flooring installation turned into…read morea nightmare of poor workmanship, unprofessional behavior, and inadequate repairs. We paid $6,800 expecting a high-quality job, but what we got was an exhausting ordeal. From start to finish, the experience was riddled with issues that we had to identify and report ourselves--problems that any competent professional should have caught immediately. The quality of the work was shockingly bad. On day one, Liquid Nails glue was tracked across the floor, leaving visible shoe prints and hardened globs that were never properly cleaned. Many boards were cracked or splintered, and there uneven seams in the flooring because the lines weren't properly started, according to the contractors who later fixed the job. The subfloor wasn't leveled, causing high and low spots that ultimately required sanding. To make matters worse, the second contractor we hired to fix the mess pointed out that parts of the floor weren't nailed down properly particularly around the walls, and the nailing overall was insufficient. They also found numerous "H-joints," a hallmark of rushed and sloppy workmanship. The baseboards, which we paid $700 to have installed, were no better. They were nailed to drywall instead of studs and could be pulled off with minimal effort. Excessive caulk was used to cover gaps and poorly cut boards, and additional wood putty stains were left behind during their attempts at repairs. The lack of professionalism was equally disappointing. One of the installers loudly berated a younger worker to the point that both we and our neighbors could hear it. It was clear that no quality inspections were being done. We had to point out every issue ourselves, and the repair attempts they made often made things worse instead of better. Despite repeated complaints, the company failed to resolve the issues. The first repair attempt involved replacing one marked board and adjusting a seam, but they didn't clean the Liquid Nails residue, leaving even more wood putty stains in the process. A second installer tried twice to remove the glue but failed both times. In the end, we were offered either a board replacement or a "deep discount." The so-called "deep discount" only covered the cost of repairs and felt like a minimal gesture given the extent of the issues. Our best decision was taking the repairs out of their hands. The professionals who took over spent time explaining all the issues and were shocked at the poor workmanship. I regret not hiring them in the first place because, in the end, we'll never get the finish we initially wanted, and there are issues with the floor we're just going to have to live with. Save yourself the frustration and hire someone else. Arcata ProFloor's lack of quality control, unprofessional behavior, and resistance to taking accountability--offering only the bare minimum to address their mistakes--make them impossible to recommend. What should have been a simple project turned into weeks of stress, nights spent sleeping in my office, and deep disappointment.

It was a little squeaky and when we went to tighten the screws, we found that the screw attaching one arm to the back was missing!

I recently visited 4th Street Mercantile over the weekend and was immediately met with a policy…read morerequiring all customers to lock their personal belongings, including purses, in a locker before entering the store. While I understand that businesses have a right to set security measures, the way this was enforced made me and my friend feel as though we were suspected of theft before even browsing the items. Spending money at a store should be a welcoming experience. Instead, the requirement felt degrading and created an atmosphere of distrust from the very first moment. It is disheartening to be treated with suspicion simply for wanting to shop. Because of this negative interaction and the feeling of being treated as a potential thief, I will not be returning to this establishment. I will also be sharing my experience with friends and family to ensure others are aware of this policy before they plan their visit. If you are planning to go, be prepared to surrender your personal items before you can even look at the merchandise. It is a significant barrier that changes the entire vibe of the shopping experience.
