Stopped by Bennett's to look at sheds. I needed a new shed, so I shopped around and Bennett's was…read moreby far the best business to buy from. There are many businesses that sell sheds in the area, but Bennett's was the only one that would build on site with a metal roof for a reasonable price. I requested a custom 12' x 15' salt box shed with an oversized door and a few other upgrades. The upgrades didn't really cost much and I think they will be worth it. Wood was overpriced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that wood prices are returning to normal, shed prices are also returning to normal. I felt like it was a good time to buy. The employee who sold me the shed really knew her stuff. In addition to selling sheds, Bennett's also sells outdoor furniture and basketball hoops. They also have a toy store with an extensive selection of quality toys. They also have a dog boarding kennel and they offer pet grooming. They really have a diverse, family owned business and I'm happy to be a customer. I'll be visiting again for some outdoor furniture!

This is very nice furniture that is well built and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Unfortunately there was nothing in the store that was exactly what I wanted so we had to go the custom route. So I wasn't totally sure how things were going to turn out. But I am beyond thrilled with how the desk turned out. When I put my deposit down I was told it would be 8-12 weeks and it ended up being right at 12 weeks. Factor in the holidays and it may have come in a little sooner. We are in the market for some new patio furniture and I will be going back to get the pricing. Thank you for all you do. I will be back soon!

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!! Wish I could give zero stars. We have been ghosted multiple times…read moreby owner Gary after our several attempts to resolve an issue with the custom dining room table set we purchased over 4 years ago. They seem to care while trying to gain your business, but once they've got your money and delivered your product, their follow service is atrocious. We purchased $10k worth of custom furniture from their store in late 2019. For the dining table set, I asked the owner's wife, who was assisting us, if a rough sawn table top would still be flat enough that a plate wouldn't wobble, while still achieving a distressed look. I was assured that was true. Our table's surface is so uneven that we have to be very careful with where cups and plates are set so they don't wobble and spill, which is completely impractical for my family with young kids. Then, after just a few short months of use, we began having issues with the finish flaking off. Our table is stained with a glazed finish over top. Initially, we thought it was due to a piece of scotch tape that had been used to hold a protective covering on the table for a very brief time. However, over time, finish has flaked off around all edges of the table, just with regular use (no more tape). Additionally, the heads of 3 screws used to mount the tabletop to the supporting brackets underneath have completely fallen off and been found laying on the floor. This table does not get moved around; it has always remained in the same place, so the only reason I can come up with is that the screws were overtightened during assembly. I emailed Gary with my concerns in mid-2020. He responded, offering to run the top through a sander and he was going to check into the concerns with the finish. He said he could pickup the table in about a month, since things were crazy with the lockdowns (perfectly understandable). I reached out 2 months later, and he said he'd come pick it up within a few weeks. Two more months went by, so I reached out again. This time - no response. I reached out again another 4 months later (early 2021)...nothing. An entire year went by and we heard nothing. By this time, we had 3 young kids, so it was hard to find the time to follow-up. My husband finally went to the store in early 2022 to talk to Gary directly. Gary claimed he "hadn't forgotten about us" and would reach out soon to arrange pickup and repair of our table. Here we are two years later, and we've still heard nothing from him. So, we are stuck with a several thousand-dollar piece of furniture for which we can get no remedy because of Furniture Nook's awful customer service. I strongly suggest you save yourself the headache and time, and shop elsewhere!

That's five stars for the landscaping work, zero stars for customer service…read more We engaged Maria Gardens to completely replace the garden bed in the front of our house. The proposed design suited us; the price was reasonable. They did all the work in one day, the final product was attractive, their labor crew was polite, and cleanup was excellent. However, communication with them was simply terrible. After I accepted their proposal electronically, I made an appointment at the Strongsville location to review the proposed plants. When I got there, they had no idea who I was and could only tell me that the person I was looking for was out on a job and would probably be back sometime soon. I stood around while I exchanged a couple of texts with my contact in which he claimed he was on his way back to the store and would be there soon. When he failed to materialize after 45 minutes, I tired of waiting, left my deposit check with the cashier (who still was clueless) and departed. I heard nothing for the following week. I had to call to ask for some idea of how far out they were scheduling. I got a return call saying that they were looking at October 1. I sincerely doubt I would have heard anything had I not called. Fast forward to September 30. It had been two months since I had last heard from them. I had received no acknowledgement of my deposit, no statement of account. Were they going to show up the next day? I had to call and ask. I got a call back confirming they would be there the following day, but probably "a little later in the day as they were finishing up a job". That next day passed very quietly. They didn't show up. I heard nothing from them. No call, no text. The day after, they did show up, surprise surprise! They did the work as described in my first paragraph. It looks good. Two days later, I received a text asking what I thought and when was I going to pay the balance due. He wanted me to drive out to the store to hand-deliver my check! Per my custom, I mailed the check the following Monday. It was for the difference between the quote amount I digitally accepted and my deposit. Now this week, they have produced a different version of the quote and are saying I still owe them $216. But somehow this version is undated (he sent me a picture). And I have my own copy with the quoted price and my digital signature that their system emailed to me. So I sent him a picture of my copy, pointed out that his version was undated and told him his number was just wrong. That was the last I heard, so who knows if he accepts his mistake or not? No apology, nothing. That last text I sent was like dropping a feather down a well. I would have paid the $216 if it was truly owed, but I can tell you this. That amount is certainly less than what we would have spent at their store in a single visit next spring. But that's not going to happen now. Nor will they be asked to quote on additional landscaping work I am planning for next year. There is no excuse for not communicating like this. If you can't tell your customers when to expect you, you have a problem. If you are too busy to send a text, you need an assistant. If you can't reply to text messages, you are simply rude and inconsiderate. These days, many contractors use software that does this stuff automatically. Finally, I will add that in my experience, when a company is laser-focused on collecting payables but is ignoring customer service, it is a sign of much bigger problems behind the scenes. Should you hire them for your landscaping? That's your choice, but I will not.
