After I placed my order I checked my email right away. I noticed a mistake with my order and called the flower shop right away. The order was corrected without any problems and while I was still on the phone a new receipt was sent immediately. The lily arrived as expected and the family was so appreciative that we thought of them. And I guess that peace lily is very large and beautiful! This isn't just a flower shop. There are also some very nice items and made in Iowa items for purchase, including wine! It's really a neat place to stop in and see. Lots of small town, friendly and kind service can be found in rural Iowa!

I was blown out of the water when I received photos of the Mother's Day flowers I had ordered for my family. The flowers selected were unique (some I'd never seen before), substantial, and I really felt like I got my money's worth. It was evident that arrangements and color schemes were given a lot of thought. World class arrangements with small town levels of care and thought. In comparison to all the arrangements my friends gave to their mothers around the country, nothing held a candle to Simply Blooming. Will continue to order again and again. Thank you ladies!

I'd only go out of my way for a specific sale on a specific mattress. They do have certain high end brands that other stores in Ames and other towns don't have. If you do have a significant back problem or insist on luxury mattresses, then this place is a great locale and a fair buy. There's also bits of furniture. I don't really drive out to Nevada but depending on what you're looking for it is absolutely worth the drive.

We were treated with respect and the salesman gave us an exceptional guest experience without pressuring us or making us feel unwelcome. We left without on our first visit but returned because of an ad we had seen on Facebook.

We paid LESS THAN HALF of the retail price and received an amazing mattress. The mattress was delivered the next day for FREE and the delivery person helped us carry it inside our house. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

They have cool rare and hard-to-find stuff such as a NIN triple album brand new in the shrink wrap for $100. They had a couple thousand albums in the main store plus a ton of compact discs and vintage video games. The owner stated this still have a few thousand albums to go through to add to the main store.
