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

Product great, shipping issues
The prouct is great, just what I ordered. Issue I have is that the gondolas were back ordered. You shipped them seperatly, so I paid double the freight. Why not hold the first one and ship them together or call to see if I wanted to pay double freight?? I think that was careless and didn't show a care for our costs.

I would give this company 0/10 stars if I could. I never received the product I ordered (a hat stand). After experiencing poor customer service, I requested a cancellation. Instead of resolving the issue, they charged my card and then tried to charge it again just to ship the item.
When I reached out by email, I was told to call someone — but when I asked to actually speak with them, they admitted they work remotely from another country and that I couldn’t talk to them. The runaround was unbelievable.
I cancelled the order, never received the product, and never got a refund. The website looks like a scam, and unfortunately, my experience confirmed it. The customer service is just as bad as the site itself.
Do not recommend this company at all.

We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience. My name is Marc and I'm the customer service manager. I looked into the order and for whatever reason, our system flagged it as possible fraud. After reviewing it further it has been cleared with our billing department. We have processed a full refund to your credit card. I am truly sorry the difficulty. If you would like to speak with me about this, please call our toll-free number 800-999-0771 and ask for Marc.
Display made simple
I purchased this display rack several times already. It is simple to assemble. My only issue is that I have to remove it from it`s original box, because when it arrives the box is torn in multiple places. If I brought it to a new location they would think that I was bring an old item because of the look of the box.

I was not pleased with the high cost of shipping, nor do I understand it. I am four hours from Chicago and shipping was over $50. However, overall it was cheaper than the same item listed on Ebay. The good thing is that it arrived within two-three days of placing the order. I have not opened it yet so I can speak to quality

Thanks so much for your order! We truly appreciate your business! Shipping costs can be frustrating, and we acknowledge that. We are a small family business, that only ships from one location. Because of this, sometimes we're not able to beat the freight costs from other larger companies. If you ever have questions during the ordering process, please call us at 800-999-0771. We will work with you in any way we can.
Unknowledgable, disinterested customer service
FedEx lost my packages. SSS gave me information about the package's status that demonstrably was incorrect (shipment was shown as "out for delivery" for three days). When I asked that the shipment be cancelled, the rep's attitude quickly turned apathetic. Refund never arrived, no notice of refund given, and a few days later, the package showed up. In the meantime, I had to find the materials from another vendor, so now I have two of everything! Really unimpressive.

Good quality, good price
Found exactly what I was looking for to hold books and magazines in my shop.
Good quality, decent price and I could pick it up at the store so no extra cost for shipping.
