This store is clean, well managed, and a great place to go whether you want to just look or actually buy. This is a "no pressure" shopping environment. Highly recommend. The sales floor has a good selection of styles and different furniture options. I would always recommend shopping around but this is a great place to start or finish. The furniture is well priced. You can find cheaper furniture online from other companies but you can't test it, can't get it delivered and assembled at the right time, and can't talk to an associate who answers all your questions.

But turmoil has come over the past year and it's not good. Corporate Franchise Ace called Abbott's bought the shop and made it part of a east coast chain, and it's affected the experience negatively. Staff turnover has been very high, customer service is lackluster. One guy today couldn't bother to say "excuse me" while I was looking over some items and he just had to get to one of the items in front of me. Manners is seriously lacking with some of their staff. There's no clear leadership in the store - other than corporate from New York state dictating sales. Whomever is running the place needs to hire better people - more training so their more knowledgable about their products, and maybe people that are a bit more people oriented. One cashier lady is so morose I've come to hate going to her. A couple of the old crew is still around but with the turnover rate, and the lack of corporate care for service, I don't think they'll be around much longer. I've always placed Suburban Ace (now Costello Ace) as my First Choice for hardware needs, but with lackluster staff, poor product knowledge and a lack of customer service, that preference is fading fast. Home Depot is a little bit further from my workshop but the people there are, overall, better now than those at Costello Ace. Damn shame and I hope they get their act together.

I really wanted to love this set. Let me start by saying I am a woodworker, I have a small shop in…read moremy basement, so I appreciate craftsmanship and we currently have other amish furniture pieces in our house - its becoming harder and harder to find quality solid wood furniture these days. I have no problem spending the premium that solid wood furniture warrants. Myself being a woodworker, I probably pick up on things that the average person would not (or may not even care about). We paid, what I would consider, to be a high end price for a living room set - 1 coffee table, 3 end tables, and a 72" TV stand. When we got the pieces, I noticed there were pocket holes all over the place, with some screws exposed and a lot of chipout. I was extremely disappointed, I use pocket screws in some of my very low end projects, such as shop furniture or plywood cabinets. I have made some smaller nice pieces around the house and I would never consider using such low end joinery in nicer wood projects, let alone a $6k living room set (price before shipping, taxes, and guardsman protection)! In my opinion, a "craftsman" making very expensive living room furniture should be using higher quality joinery that is both stronger, and more professional. If you dont know what pocket screws are, google them and watch all the "amateur youtube woodworkers" who use them for lower level projects. This shouldnt be the joinery used on a $6k set (price not including tax and shipping or guardsman protection). Pocket holes have their place and are a much faster form of joinery, but are usually reserved for cabinets or other interior areas or can be filled/covered. I immediately sent a polite email to the store manager after receiving the set with photos. She never responded. A few weeks after the email I did receive a call from someone who left a message and was in operations but I was on vacation. I called that person back and left a message and have not received a return call. I emailed the store manager again, and still no response. As of the date of this review, it has been 7 weeks with no reply. So I feel I have been more than patient and have given them ample time to contact me back or reply to my emails. I started to google the set that I bought to see if others complained about the same thing. Thats when I started to notice other online amish furniture places selling the same set, at significantly lower cost than I paid. I finally found the original maker of my set, but it seems that there are a few amish "craftsman" shops which have a line of furniture they build, and then retail fronts and online stores sell their furniture. I was told by the salesperson that I was buying at the biggest discount the craftsman offered all throughout the year, which I believed at the time, but considering I found other online places and stores selling the same custom ordered pieces for significantly lower, I think I got sold a fib by a good salesperson. Overall, I paid mercedes benz pricing for a toyota corolla. I will likely continue to buy amish or solid wood furniture, but I now know that not all amish "craftsman" are equal and use lower end woodworker joinery in areas where my past amish furniture did not, so I will be sure to look for pocket screws and get clarification on the expectations for my pieces before placing any future orders. The photos attached show the exposed screws and wood tearout all my pieces suffered from. This is what I would expect from Wayfair/IKEA at 25% the price I paid. Before you buy anything from Gish's, google the set and compare pricing with the other dozen sellers who seem to sell the same exact set, with the same exact stain options, with the same exact wood options from the same exact "craftsmen". Some buyers may be perfectly fine with pocket screw construction, exposed screws, and wood tearout - I was not.

Its a great story now but when I dropped my phone I was in a lot of trouble. Nothing, and I mean nothing... no stores were open. Except this one place that still had its lights on. I walked up to the store and I was soaked from being out in the rain. The woman inside was closing up and I knocked on the door and when she saw me she immediately sprinted to the door to let me in. Thank goodness she was there. I never would have stumbled upon this brilliant shop BENTON and BUCKLEY had I been able to actually call for an Uber...so I do believe everything happens for a reason. If you already know of this place, then you know how lovely Deborah is to talk to. She has so many great stories and is truly passionate about her business (and her 3 dogs!). The store has amazing antiques and all sorts of great dinnerware and furniture, pillows and some really cool lamps. Not to mention she pretty much has a story about each item she sells. She's truly just a caring, brilliant and kind person. The owner immediately got me a towel (one of the brand new ones she sells by the way) and gave it me to dry off. She told me her name was Deborah and I explained my situation. She never once asked me to buy anything, even though I offered to buy something in order to use her phone. But Deborah only cared about helping me get home. More than that, she asked how my day was and we got to talking while I waited for a ride. No one picked up so she arranged for an Uber to take me home and paid for it. I am writing this review to say thank you. And I will be coming back often to support the store and I'm telling all of my friends about it. America needs more genuine, small business owners like Deborah and Benton and Buckley.
