10 years ago, I bought a custom rocker from Bensons Stone, for over $2750. At the same time, I bought two cheap rockers, $500 each, from a (now closed) discount furniture store. At night, I sat in the expensive rocker from Bensons, and my sons sat in the cheap rockers, (and beat the snot out of them). A year ago, the Benson's rocker started making unbearably loud clunking sounds, so I called Bensons.
The chair had only a five year warranty. I had them repair it, replaced the entire base, for $300. Fast forward one year, and now the rocker is making really loud screeching sounds. Bensons has informed me there is no warranty on parts or service which they provide. I have this chair, which has been nothing but a headache, I will have put in over $3,300 to make it rock; and two other chairs ($500 each) which still rock perfectly well - my son even sleeps in them. Caveat emptor: spending lots more money does not always guarantee a more reliable product, or a more pleasant experience.

Cafe Food: Had coupon for free sandwich. Still wasn't worth it. Worst deli meat ever. Very salty. Cheese slice was stale. Tomato had no flavor. Bread was dense and clearly past sell by date. Condiments consisted of several varieties of mustard packets. Plus, even though portion was small (tiny bread slices) i left most uneaten. Benson Funiture: No sleeper sofas in stock - maybe to make room for huge display of $3,000 (single) swivel chair? Benson Stone: No crushed gravel or zen garden stone for sale.

Ordered a Chippendale sofa. I was informed up front that due to COVID-19 it would take awhile to be produce. The sofa arrived in perfect condition and great quality and delivered to my house when promised. Great business to deal with.

The customer care and experience is truly unmatched in this region. The designers technical advice and product familairity aided us in making the correct initial choices. The store provides a wide variety of high quality products not normally available in one location. I highly recommend Benson Stone.

We were very pleased with the quality of the fireplace repair that their service man (I believe his name was Keith) performed for us. I wouldn't hesitate to call Benson in the future.

We love our luxury vinyl flooring; the quality of the floor is excellent and our home has a whole new look! Dale was great to work with and our installer did a fabulous job. Thank you for providing such great local quality!

Andrea and Gordon are awesome. They even made sure we felt comfortable with our autistic son while we shopped. We walked in looking to browse and found out Granite was much cheaper than any big box store AND measured and installation included. We even added a sink cheaper than anyone else. I just recommend finalizing your design before you even walk in. Things can get confusing if you change it even before they measure. Installation team was VERY respectful and courteous. They even sweep your floors if they leave dust. Impressed by them.
