I purchased a new recliner chair from Sid’s furniture and the seam where the arm rest connects to the back of the chair separated. I contacted Sid’s and sent them a photo of the damage. Sid’s quickly resolved the issue by having a new chair delivered to my house. There was no attempt to repair the original chair or saying I caused

Tori is AMAZING
We had an amazing experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waitress, Tori! We had a LARGE party with several kids and some goofy, silly adults, and she handled all of us like an absolute champ! 😂❤️ Tori was so friendly, patient, and engaging with everyone at the table. She didn’t just take our order and walk away—she genuinely interacted with us, made us feel welcome, and kept up with our big, lively group with such a wonderful attitude. Serving a large party is no easy task, especially when kids and playful adults are involved, but she made the entire experience enjoyable! It’s not every day you come across someone who can handle a crowd like ours while still making everyone feel special. Tori truly went above and beyond, and she deserves recognition for the incredible job she did. If we come back, we would absolutely love to have her as our waitress again! Thank you, Tori, for making our experience so memorable! You are amazing at what you do! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
