“I would like to thank Brad. He took very good care of me on a situation I had with my couch. All is well and I appreciate everything he did... very professional, never got impatient with me, and just did what I wanted without me even having to ask. Leave it to Paul Sherman to find someone that good! Hold on to him because I'll now be a lifelong customer." – Chad G.

“The Sherman's sales staff were great. When my chair arrived it did have a flaw in the stitching. I called the service department and they quickly took care of the problem. The repair tech came with the new part and fixed the chair in a timely manner. The tech was very courteous and professional. I would definitely recommend Sherman's.” – Todd D.

“Awesome crew. Competent, polite, and efficient. I will definitely buy from Shermans again.” – Rob H.

"We stopped in looking for a new refrigerator. Our appliance specialist, Lee, was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made it easy to make our selection. We have done business with Sherman’s many times and have always been satisfied with the quality and service. Would recommend to friends & family!" – Richard K.

“This was a great process from the first minute. The salesman was polite and knowledgeable and really worked with my budget. The gentlemen who delivered my furniture were very nice and made sure to be courteous of my new piece as well as my carpet even though it had just rained in the morning. All in all a great experience!” – Derek D.

“Just got my refridgerator and dryer delivered today. They showed up on time and moved my old dryer out and got everything in an done in about an hour and a half. They were very nice and respectful. They explained everything they did and answered any questions that I had.” – David R.

"Aaron showed up again for the final delivery of the kids' room furniture. That guy is amazing, professional, hard worker, and diligent about making sure I'm happy with his work and placement of furniture. They cleaned up like they were never even there. Avierre was with him and also just amazing. I'll never buy furniture without paying for delivery and installation again. I was hesitant and like to do these things myself, but never again. Great team, these guys were unbelievable...already told like 3 friends about the experience!" – Eric L.
