The store is very cute. It is very easy to pass by because it is in a residential area. There are no other businesses around it and the signage is pretty subtle. There are minimal amounts of vintage items. There are lots of items you can find in other stores in Geneva, etc. There did seem to be an abundance of beachy items which I didn't expect in a place called Urban Farmgirl. If you are thinking that you will be checking out lots of vintage items or updated vintage items, that isn't the case. There is some of this, but mostly new items. It's a very cute store and worth a browse.

I guess it had been a bit since I went because the store is just plants now. After I hauled my two large bushes from the parking lot into the store the cashier (Kymmia) was not very friendly and seemed put out to have to ring up my purchases. When I asked where all the beautiful items went and why it is all plant related on the inside she said she would have been out of business if she'd kept that stuff. That store was special because of 'that stuff'. I thought this woman's attitude was poor. If she was the owner then shame on her for treating customers so rudely. I bought two bushes and spent $72.40. I was told both bushes needed full sun. Both bushes were wilted and half dead within two weeks after planting even with daily watering. A month after purchase one bush is now totally dead. I called the store to see if they guarantee their plants and was told a flat out no. The bush didn't even last a month! I will never go to that store again. Bad customer service and bad plants. If you cannot treat customers with respect and guarantee your product then you do not deserve my business. I guess the old saying buyer beware refers to The Landscape Connection.

I rather go elsewhere where I'm treated with respect and appreciation. I bought a family member a gift and I didn't tell them to plug it in to see if it worked when I purchased it because I was in a lot of pain. I suffer from a chronic pain disability, especially in the colder months. Later that evening I was going to wrap the gift but discovered the extension cord didn't fit the base. Both the base and cord were very dusty and the cord was all twisted and it looked like it had been used. I remembered I had bought my son that's in the military a coaster a few weeks back and I took it out and unwrapped it. It was chipped on one corner. I called them and left them a voicemail of what the issue was. The next day I was not greeted when I entered the store. I told them the issues and they were very snotty and rude. No apologies!! One lady even left me talking to myself and she walked away. I ended exchanging the coaster and returning everything else. If I'm going to buy something I expect it to work and to be new. I find that very unacceptable!!

All of the employees, from sweet Lori behind emails and calls, thoughtful Bill's time and response, to River looking into past files, to Tyler helping me schedule our floor magician, Dave. What a team of dedicated home professionals! In short, I had to have floorboards removed in random spots- I was distraught and hesitant, thinking the floors integrity would be ruined. Dave, their flooring specialist is one of the kindest, most sincere people you will ever meet. The work he did was nothing short of perfection. He took his time, and ensured quality work. You would never tell my beautiful floors were worked on! Just flawless work. I have personally called this company for flooring, bathroom needs and questions - they go out of their way to problem solve and provide guidance! Their thoughtful response makes you feel like part of the Benson family. Any and all future home renovations will be through Benson Stone Company. They stand behind their work and have the most accommodating, knowledgeable and kind staff! I can not recommend them enough!

Hardwood Flooring was purchased, and the install was absolutely horrible. Larry Shields,…read moresales/manager, came out to my home to look over the poor install. Larry agreed that the installer did a terrible job, and told me he would order a new floor, have the current floor ripped out, and install the new floor. After 2 months of deceptive stalling and dragging his feet he is now going back on his word. I've read this exact same scenario in other reviews of Stateline Carpet and Flooring (promise that "We'll make it right" and then stall, stall, stall, sorry we aren't replacing the floor). Larry scheduled a "independent" inspector to come out and inspect the floor install, so they could pursue damages from the contractor that did the install (at least that's what he told me the inspector was for). Now it's very clear that he sent this inspector out to try and cover themselves, so they could get out of replacing my floor that he promised me they would replace. Seems like a rotten form of deception to lay on a customer. I literally have an HVAC vent covered up by their installers. The floor squeaks all over (the installers kept having to tape up the leaking hose to their nail gun so I'm thinking it may not have drove the nails in far enough). I could not even open my French door to my patio when installers were done because the shoe moulding went up too high and literally sealed my door shut. I'm still waiting on 6 recess vents to be installed (been on back order an awfully long time - tough to have faith in what Stateline is telling me at this point). I have multiple pieces of shoe moulding that are so loose you could literally lift them right up from the floor. The two installers installed 560 square feet of hardwood into 3 rooms in 5 1/2 hours. I had my own contractor come out to look at the job and he was shocked at how poor the install was and said it needs to be ripped up and replaced. When I told him it only took them 5 1/2 hours to install the floor and 90 more minutes the next day for transitions and shoe moulding he was SHOCKED. He said it should have taken at least 12 hours for two people to install the floor install and even up to 16 hours to complete everything. Not 7 hours total. I talked with Larry again today, and during a heated exchange he arrogantly told me "We are playing by my rules now" he went on to tell me how "impatient" I am. (it's been 2 months since the faulty install happened). Only took 2 weeks to get the original install done from the day I paid them to place the order - getting things replaced has now taken 4X longer with no end in sight but I'm "impatient" AND Larry tells me after the inspector looked things over "it's different than we both thought" (what's DIFFERENT?! You promised me a new floor and now you are backpedaling).
