The picture and description of the #3546 Outrigger Wall Display are very misleading. They show many parts that do not come with the set, and do not clearly indicate that they are extra. Buyer beware!... See more

Very nice customer service and product

Very nice customer service, and very good products. I love the quick setup of the displays, it's clever, solid, and easy. I only wish there was a taller version of the display I bought, but this is great for what I need for now.

Thank you very much for your order! I see that your bank required us to verify or correct your billing address. We understand this slowed down the process, and we're sorry. Though it delayed the order, we were able to make certain your information didn't fall into the wrong hands with your confirmation. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We apologize for your frustration, but we are bound by strict guidelines as to who we are able to code as "tax-exempt".
The only businesses that we are allowed to exempt from taxes are non-profits, municipalities, and resellers.
If you are one of these types of businesses, and we have made a mistake, please contact us at 800-999-0771. We can update the account and refund any tax charged.

The stand is flimsy (useless if you can't place it against something) and NOT the same stand as given in the image. Delivery was held up a week, so I couldn't even replace it with a different model. I ordered 20 of these things.
