I am not entirely sure if this is the same 'The Swingset Guy' that installed our set in Saint John, IN. If so, you did an amazing job! Thanks for your hard work and dedication. If not, well, you have an inadvertent 5 star review. read more

I messaged for a quote via text to the MI guy and he never responded. I am very frustrated. We bought a used set and it's currently in pieces on my garage. All I wanted was a quote and possibly to have our swing set together before the end of the month. So very frustrated that I couldn't even get a response for a quote. It's really to bad too because they came recommended by another mom. read more

Kids Gotta Play

We just purchased a Rainbow series castle playset through Kids Gotta Play and had a wonderful…read moreexperience! Alex went above and beyond in helping us get set up to build it ourselves and giving us so many tips ahead of time. We started out looking at Lifetime playsets but once we compared the actual size of these sets to a Rainbow, there was really no comparison in terms of build quality and longevity. The Rainbow can accommodate little kids and big kids of all sizes and I have so much peace of mind knowing it's strong and sturdy enough to hold everyone safely. We've got kids ranging from 2-13 years old playing on this set everyday and they all love it for different reasons. We ended up building this ourselves because we didn't want to wait for the installation lead time. The poor quality of the instruction manual is the only area I cannot give Rainbow five stars (which is a reflection of Rainbow and not Kids Gotta Play). The instructions combined way too many steps into a single diagram on each page and used vague wording or not enough wording to explain the steps. We luckily had the help of a family member who is also a handyman. And Alex made himself available by phone to help answer questions when we still weren't sure on something which was so helpful. Other than that we're so happy with the purchase. I talked to Amy, Stephanie, and Jenny as well and they were all helpful in the decision process! It was so worth it to buy a playset through a local storefront where we could try out the sets in person, decide on options, and have real people in the store who know about the product and could answer any question about it.

UPDATE: after escalating our issues the only way we knew how I must give a big thanks to Amy…read moreGurnow. Amy took ownership of our issues and concerns and worked to get them corrected quickly. Amy stayed in contact with me through the entire resolution process and provided a lot of great information to us. Thank you Amy for making our situation better and getting our boys playscape fixed.

Three Cedars Farm

Welcome to the family owned Three Cedars Farm Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze! Three Cedars Farm was a…read moregreat place for a sorority outing! We reserved Bonfire No. 7 for a perfect fall night for four hours. Three Cedars Farm is definitely an attraction in Northville complete with bonfires, hayrides, a corn maze, and of course apple cider and donuts! The bonfire was a great spot to hang out, put up a tent, grill some burgers and hot dogs and make s'mores. The staff periodically would come by on a cart to drop off more wood. The hayride was a nice short ride from the front of the farm to the back of the farm where the corn maze is located. Tip: I recommend that you bring flashlights and/or lanterns for when the sun goes down to enjoy your bonfire area. There is no light in the corn maze and you will resort to using the flashlight on your phone to try to find the Christmas tree stations in the maze. Don't forget to keep track on the corn maze postcards to turn in at the Donut Hut to be entered into a drawing. The only drawback are teenagers hiding in the corn maze jumping out at people in the dark. I hope no one gets hurt and this continues to be a place for adults and children alike. Also note the Donut Hut closes at 8pm although we were at the bonfire until 10pm. So get your share of cider and donuts early. I think the value of experiencing fresh donuts with hot apple cider sitting around the bonfire was perfect and worth every penny. I would like to go back next fall. Their current attraction is The Country Store complete with photos with Mr. & Mrs. Clause in Santaland for a limited time.

Three Cedars Farm was voted #5 in this year's Vote 4 the Best in the cider mill category, and…read morehonestly, I am a bit baffled. First, this place seems very geared towards kids. Being here during the week was a blessing, as I could observe the almost Disney like nature of the farm. It's like a smaller version of Canterbury Village lol. While the service was very good, their apple cider is probably the worst I've ever tried. Too much like apple juice, lacking in flavor. However, their caramel apple? 20/10 legit the best caramel apple I've every tried, so fresh! They don't try to thwart the bees in the cute seating area, so I had to melt in my car to finish the apple. I'm surprised having lived in Canton for many years I never heard of Three Cedars, and now I am not surprised at all. If you do find yourself here, get a caramel apple!

However, I've noticed a consistent pattern that's made me increasingly uncomfortable. Each time we're in the store, the staff behaves as if we're being watched closely--asking if we want items held at the counter or having an employee follow us under the pretense of folding shirts while we browse. I've spent over $100 here so far and don't appreciate being treated with suspicion. Having worked in retail myself, I'm familiar with the signs of someone being monitored because they're assumed to be stealing, and that's how it feels every time I shop here. I really like the shop's selection--especially the Jellycats--but there are other local stores that carry similar products. I'm willing to give the shop one more chance, but if I experience this same treatment again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I had to park at the far end of the main lot along the length of the building in greenhouse. It's larger than the one side in the building would lead on. I was going to purchase the gazing balls and stand and the munchrooms mushroom jerky, until I got into the checkout line. It's about 50+ people deep. At least have six staff members to cash you out. I don't have the patience to wait for however long it might take. One big red maple tree goes for about $1,600. If you do end up coming here to purchase anything. Be prepared to wait at least a good 15 to 20 minutes or more to get through the line. Will have to come back on a non-Mother's day weekend. It's worth a walk through, so much to see. The boutique shop seems a bit out of place though.

I come here weekly during the summer and fall months to get all of my produce. The prices are competitive with local chain groceries stores and I love to support this friendly, small family owned business. They are open daily from 9am- 5pm and closed on Tuesdays from Mid July through Halloween. Today I bought some beautiful pumpkins and plan on returning later this week to get some mums for my fall decorations. Honey Bee Farms was there today giving away samples and educating people about local raw honey. A small business supporting another! As someone who has been supporting Irma's for over a decade, I highly recommend you check them out.

OMG!

Why would you go up on your prices like that, your products are not coming from another country, so you are not dealing with tariffs if you are pulling from the ground? You now want $8.00 for a dozen on corn. Come on Irma please rethink your pricing for your customers. Not to mention the quality of the produce is not as good as it was in the past. At your current prices you will sure loss customers. The staff is kind and friendly but if does nothing for your High prices this year! Rethink.

They have a nice selection of plants, herbs and vegetables. One big thing I did notice this year was that they dropped the cell size of the vegetable saplings from 4 to 3 but the price stayed the same $1.99. A lot of places are still charging the same price for a 4 cell so keep that in mind. The plants looked really healthy this year so far. I love their Salad Bowls. I always pick up 2 or 3. It's great having access to fresh lettuce everyday. I also came looking for a couple Lemon Cypress trees. Sadly they don't carry them so that was a bit of a disappointment. We did leave with some herbs and vegetable plants though. TIP: Get here early in the season... The plants that they have in the first week or two of opening are a great deal for their size, a large 4" tomato plant will cost you less than $3.
