My husband knew I was having a bad day and spent $100 dollars to have chocolates and flowers…read moredelivered from Kathy and Co. he placed the order at 8:45am and asked for delivery. He did not get any communication from the business stating this was not possible. By the close of business 4pm on that day they were still not delivered. Then I received a call at 5:10 stating they were outside my work "if you are still here". Needless to say I was not. I then had to make arrangements to pick up my own flowers. When I arrived to pick them up none of the flowers were blooming and they tried to give me just my flowers and forgot the chocolates. I had to remind them that they were ordered with chocolates. The long and short is this kind gesture turned into more work for us and not one flower to look at.

There were handmade pewter ornaments, spoons, earrings, picture frames and more, all (in my opinion) really reasonably priced! I ended up leaving with a stunning pair of mens cufflinks that I squirreled away until Christmas. When checking out, I also found out that Danforth Pewter has another store in my hometown of Portland, Maine!!!

While they had cute stuff, the girl who works there (4/9/2021) was horrible. She had zero…read morekindness. When she rang up my order, she just left the items on the counter and didn't say a word. I had a glass syrup jar 2 boxes with necklaces. So she didn't put them in a bag so I had to ask for one. Then she literally put the bag on the counter-no words. As I had a glass jar which is very breakable, I had to ask her for the paper to wrap it. No words said to me again but she put the paper down on the counter. As it wasn't enough paper, I had to ask again for more paper. Again, no words were spoken to me. I felt as if I was in the twilight zone & was really bothering her for shopping there.

Met with Dave a few months ago and asked if he would match the deal the guys down the road we're…read moregiving me. He confirmed that he could. It took me about 3 months to save up for my down payment and I didn't speak with Dave at all during that time even he reached out. Long story short, Dave kept his word and promise on the cost of the tub while the other guys went back on our negotiated price and raised my cost by a grand. Dave Bristol from Allen Pools is the man! We ended up buying a better tub. Dave gave me his cell number, I was able to text any and all questions I had, whether night time or weekends and he was happy to help. I would and will recommend Allen Pools to anyone looking for a hot tub. Everything from the purchase to the installation was easy and smooth. Thanks Dave!!

My wife and I have visited Burlington once or twice a year for the past eight years, and Silver…read moreMaple has always been a destination; we enjoy the unique art available there and love the mounting. Don't, however, go there expecting any good service. Our last experience (the morning of October 13, 2012) was the worst. We entered the store a little before noon. The person on duty, a maturing man, was speaking with a friend and did not acknowledge us at all. Even signaling for help got us no attention; apparently his discussion of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" was more important than attending a customer with cash in hand. After his friend left, the man on duty still did not acknowledge my wife or I. Instead, he decided it would be best to neaten up the shelves, pushing me out of his way to get to postcards that needed straightening, apparently. I honestly felt like I was being treated like a potential thief. In case anyone is wondering, no, we were not unkempt in appearance. We were dressed very nicely for a day on the town in celebration of our anniversary. Frustrated, I was ready to walk out of the store. My wife, who wanted some information on a painting, tried to talk to the man on duty. He ignored her and called a friend - NOT a call to a customer, but a personal call - to ask how they were holding up after last night because they hit the sangria hard. Honestly, this experience has pretty much soured me on the place. I don't expect to be treated like royalty wherever I go, but the basic niceties - acknowledging the presence of customers, asking if there is anything they can do to help, etc - were not in evidence at all. Sorry, Silver Maple, for ignoring not only me, but my wife when she tried to engage the person on duty in direct conversation, has probably cost you a customer who has spent several hundred dollars in your establishment over the past few years.

The review of Silver Maple posted by Ken R might give people the impression that he and his wife…read morehad walked into some big retail space. There are many people who do not want immediate interaction when they're in an intimate-sized gallery and prefer to browse without any interference and that's always a judgment call. Typically, couples do prefer to speak with each other when they're shopping for art together. At Silver Maple, the access to help is rarely an obstacle but there are, as in any small Mom&Pop main street businesses, phones that ring and many relationships that are part of the daily flow. A careful reading of Ken's experience suggests that a dynamic was already in process that art probably wasn't going to address but Silver Maple, in its 13 years of operation, and on his own prior visits, has built its success on making strong relationships. It's a generous-spirited small business that offers great value and lots of experience for people with the time and patience to appreciate art.
