Stair Gallery hard to go wrong!
Had a driver in area to pick up on Friday afternoon. Stair has set hours but offered to fudge a little to affect pickup. That is service with a big fat smile! It proved not necessary as we picked up within their hours but it was close.. As for the chest, never go wrong with Stair everything as described. Been shopping there 20 plus years and never disappointed.
