Rustic Center Of Brenham

I purchased a cedar rocking chair from this business yesterday. When I got it home last night I noticed the bottom of the leg was cracked. I contacted the owner and he agreed to switch it out with another rocking chair that was pine. The Pine rocking chair was $ 25.00 less than the cedar chair.
He also agreed to put a gloss sealant on for an additional $ 40.00, making the chair a little nicer. When I drove back up today from Houston to drop off the cedar chair the owner acknowledged the crack and stated the chair was still structurally sound. He said he was just gonna put it back in the showroom and not fix it or replace the damaged wood.
He then stated I owed him $ 15.00 to make up the difference for the sealant he applied to the pine chair.
I stated I felt like we were even since I spent $ 15.00 in gas just to take the item back up there. He was adamant about the $ 15.00 so the lesson learned is this:
*Watch what you buy up there, it could be damaged!
*He doesn’t want to fix damaged products he sells.
*He doesn’t care how inconvenienced the customer is, he’s gonna get his.
My family just bought a ranch up there and need to furnish the house, we will not be going there ever again!
Watch out!

If you’re in the mood to drive out to the middle of nowhere and get some interesting stuff for your home, this is the place. I know that a lot of places are selling some of the same things, but these guys have been doing it an awfully long time and are worth checking out. I stopped in on the way to Austin and was impressed with the selection. I bought a wooden window thing and an outdoor décor item for my mom. The guy noticed it was cracked and pointed it out to me, and even sold it to me at a discount without me ever having to ask. Very nice. There’s some super expensive stuff there, but even if you don’t want to fork over a bunch of cash, this place is worth it for the ideas alone or maybe one or two high impact items.
Awesome place if you are a fan of talavera pottery stuff (my mom’s a huge fan) and metal yard art. Good for some one-​of-​a-​kind items too, like a keg table! Just bring a truck…

You can’t miss this place on 290 because it looks like a place where yard art threw up a bunch of Texas kitsch. It is intriguing to see, so you stop in, and actually find some pretty cool stuff. They have an outdoor area as well as an inside showroom where you can barely walk because of all of the tables, furniture and tile art.
The wooden furniture looks quality and they have so much Texas décor, it is well worth a stop. There are 3 other places we saw along 290 that looked to have similar stuff, but not nearly as much.
They are willing to haggle a little, so we wound up getting a rustic wooden and bronze star, a distressed metal lawn sculpture and iron fence for around $ 250, so not a bad deal!
