I picked up the storage ottomans today and they were EXACTLY what I hoped for. They work perfectly in our office under our desks as a dual storage / meeting seat to chat with a client at the desk! Thank you so so much!

Hello Wendell!
My name is Stasey and I wanted to write you a personal thank you for providing such a wonderful staff!!! As soon as I walked into your store, I was not only greeted with such enthusiasm but began my experience laughing! That is truly a rare thing for me. I was in furniture retail for a couple of years and know what to expect out of a salesperson. I honestly avoided making large purchases which involved commission based associates because I was always hassled. I couldn't stand being watched or pushed to make a purchase even after explaining I was only browsing. Your staff at the Plattsburgh location was exceptional! My intention was to browse as I have in your competitors stores and gather up ideas as to what to do with my living room space. I wasn't planning on spending very much money on a set unless I was able to find one durable enough to withstand my 2 young children and then some. Miss Shandley and her manager Mike were able to pinpoint the EXACT living room set that I needed based on my specifications. They were absolutely wonderful! Shandley walked around with me and showed me mattresses even though she knew I was unable to purchase one right away. I truly felt as though I was shopping with a friend! She's knowledgeable and such a sweetheart. Again, I am familiar with how the retail business works but, Miss Shandley and Mike know exactly how to develop a strong relationship with a customer! I am looking forward to getting my sofa and loveseat! I only wish it could arrive even sooner than the quoted time frame. Since the purchase I've been crossing my fingers that it somehow shows up sooner than later. Mr. Wendell, I would greatly appreciate it if you would give my thanks to these individuals. They are phenomenal!!Sincerely,
Stasey

We will need before settling in, master bedroom furniture, king/mattress with a dresser/mirror, end tables/living room, and a corner cabinet for the dining room matching our furniture/rug. Please advise us on sales or closeouts. We are interested in the Alder Hill Collection-Hamilton with 2 end tables and dresser with mirror.

Dear Ryan,
Please extend out thanks to Wendell for the use of the truck last Tuesday. Also, thank you to you for your willingness to help and to Daryl for getting it there, to the food shelf and back. Between the two polling sites we collected 911 pounds of food and $396.00. It was good a day.Thank you,

I would like to bring to your attention the professionalism and "kindness" of your staff at the "Champlain Mall" in Plattsburgh, NY. My wife and I had Alesha Miller as a sales rep when we purchased our "Southern Motion" couch and loveseat. They arrived on Wed. (16th) and love the look, comfort, and feel of what we chose. I originally loved the leather ensembles on display but Alesha pointed out that the nearness to our woodstove would not be the wisest of choices in our "family" room. She took the time to show us the various materials and colors that we could choose from since we loved that style. When everything arrived on Wed. the furniture looked better than I could've imagined and we were very pleased! I visited the store on Thurs. to thank her personally and she and Karen took the time to help me with another matter. I hope that they represent your store for many years to come! Thank you!

I have purchased several bedroom sets from Wendell's for my kids, and they all love how comfy the beds are. What I love the most about Wendell's is that they are always willing to listen to exactly what I want, exactly what price range I am looking for and have always accommodated us with amazing quality and customer service. THANK YOU Wendell's Furniture!

Tara,
I was just thinking that Jeff and I started out on this "furniture" journey looking for a sofa for about $600. It now looks like we have spent about $5,000 with the new file cabinets.Hmmmm... my house is nearly all "Wendell's" which includes my awesome casting couch I bought at Creek Farm, our bed pillows we bought in Milton by the Dam and Steph's bed and drawers from under it from Creek Farm. I think I first met you at Creek Farm when I was searching for her bed. The casting couch was a piece I imagined and actually saw it when I walked in the door. I had been everywhere looking for it. I bought it from Mike, not that he sold me.
All the rest, you sold us - so you can let your Dad know that I think you are one heck of a sales"woman!" But then again, I think he probably already knows that.
Thanks for all your help! Have a great weekend!!!!!!

Hello Wendell,
I just wanted to say thank you for reopening your store the other day when I stopped by to order a release lever for my recliner. I know what it is like at the end of the day and you are headed home, I also work retail.
With my busy schedule it is very difficult for me to find time to stop by. You never indicated that this was an inconvenience or that you were bothered by reopening the store(which I did not expect you to do).
I am now enjoying my recliner again. You went above and beyond for a warranty item that did not make you any money. This is why I plan on doing business with Wendell's again in the future.
We are always discussing customer service at the car dealership I work at and I plan on sharing my experience at the next sales meeting.
Thank You Again,
Pat R.
Hello Wendell,
I just wanted to thank you in writing for providing the best customer service I've had in a long time.
One of the most dreaded feelings occurs after you have made a major purchase and you find that you must return it because there is clearly a manufacturer's defect. Will they take it back? How much will it cost me? Well, thank you for putting my fears to rest.
You handled the return in minutes and in two days I had a phone call from your store saying I could come in and pick up my chair.
You definitely made the experience totally painless. You and your staff were so cordial and friendly. You have won me over. You will be my number one choice for future furniture shopping and I will certainly spread the word.
Thank you,
Laurie L.

Great Service!
I am a new Wendell's customer who is very satisfied with the service I received there. The delivery guys were very nice and took the items up to the second floor without hesitation and placed each piece where I wanted them. Before they left they asked me to look everything over to see that nothing was wrong with the pieces. I did and found that there was a problem with the file cabinet. They told me to contact my salesperson and it would be taken care of. I did call Wendell's and, lucky for me, Wendell himself answered the phone. After explaining my situation to him, he quickly checked to see if he had a replacement. He did and within two hours Wendell was at my door delivering the new file cabinet. He took the new piece up to the second floor and the old one downstairs. He could not have been nicer. Could I ask for any better service than that? No! I was a business owner and know how much good customer service is valued. I would not hesitate to purchase furniture from them again. Their customer service and prices could not be beat! Thank you Wendell.

The out-of-state truck driver was very appreciative when Wendell offered him a shower in the employee washroom, as he had been on the road for a long time. Wendell told him anytime he was in the area and needed a place to shower, he was always welcome here. The driver told Wendell that Vermont has just one truck stop available to drivers, and it was very generous of him to offer an open invitation like that. Right before the driver left he said, "Wendell, I will be sure to make a point of always bringing your merchandise on time!"
Dear Wendell,
I am writing this letter to you to thank you for letting us use your camper and truck. I really appreciated it, also I am using a Wendell's Furniture pen right now to write this letter to you.
Thank you

The sofas did arrive – thank you for checking. There’s a teenager asleep downstairs now on the recliner. It was a good thing to come home to after the first day of school.
Thanks,

Hi Wendell,
I just wanted to send you a thank you for the fixing of my couch and love seat decking - I really do appreciate it - most places would not have done this at their expense but you did.
It means a lot in this day and age when somebody stands behind their products, again thank you.
Larry and Marie F.
Dear Wendell and Staff,
Thank you for your persistence in working toward my satisfaction with a piece of furniture I purchased. Your personal attention to my requests were beyond the call of duty. Definitely, I will be singing your praises and recommending your furniture to my friends and colleagues.
I am very pleased with the recliner that fits perfectly in my living room. A pleasure.
Sincerely,

"My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the extra effort you and your company went to, so we could get our furniture repaired. We only wish that the company that we actually purchased the furniture from would have put half the effort into it. I installed the new cable and it works great, thank you again. Customer service still means something at Wendells."
