I'm really curious to get feedback from our customers on the new stains. Do you like them? Do you have questions on them? What are your experiances with them?
Here at the store we like both the Gel and the Liquid stains. They both have interesting application features.

Mr Kahr,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and point out some of our issues on this site. We have recently uploaded many new items and they need to have descriptions and measurements added to them. Unfortunately, I am it so the going can be a bit slower than you or I would like but we will continue working on it.

As for being able to look into the armoires and other items with doors. That will not be something we will be doing on this site. Our original site had that but the time and monies it takes to keep up with that was just too much for us. I apologize for any inconvience this may cause. The idea is for you to be able to get a good general idea of what we carry and then you visit our stores for a bit of a deeper investigation of that piece.

Thank you for pointing out the error message you recieved I will look into it and see what we can do about it. One thing I have learned with this and all sites is that you never are done tweaking them :)

Have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,
Brett Blankenship

Dear Mr.Blankenship,
I wanted to let you know how help I have received from you and your stores. A posted a question to you on a piece that I could not get from my local store, and you answered my e-mail. I called the Altamonte Springs store and spoke to Rob Lebo and he called many stores in Fl. and called me back to tell me where the piece was and when he could get it to me, it was not in any of the Orlando stores so he gave me the Clearwater store number and I called Patrick Hemming, he didn't have one in stock but a truck would be coming down with one on it in a few weeks. Rob called me again on Tuesday to say the truck was early and Clearwater had on. I called Patrick and he pulled it aside for us. We are so very delighted to have this last piece for our quest/sewing room. All your staff were so very helpful in locating and calling us back. The piece was ready and waiting for us this last Saturday in Clearwater,as promised. All we can say is WOW...Thank you for having all the right people working for you. Wood You is a delightful place to shop and I will bring many more customers to you.Thank you to Rob and Patrick for being true to their word and to you Mr.Blankenship for operating a wonderful business and asking your employees to always do the right thing. " Take care of your customers and they will take care of you"
Sincerely Stephanie G.

You patronage is never taken lightly and we promise to continue to earn your business each and every time you come in. Thanks again for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with myself, my staff and all our blog readers . . . you made my staff's day. If this is not a good reason to work so hard as we do I do not know what is, you are certain to energize our staff and remind them why we do what we do . . . thank you!

First I would like to say job well done to Brett for the new website and the blog postings. I know he is always busy and he is doing a great job keeping the blog content fresh and pertinent.

Next we are very excited about the addition of our Inwood Furniture line to Wood You's family of builders. Inwood allows us to design TRUE CUSTOM furniture specifically to meet our customer's needs. We are looking forward to working with them in serving our customers with the same service and quality REAL wood furniture at the best price in the country which they have come to expect from Wood You.

Bob,

How you doing brother? Thank you for those kind words, the extra work is worth it for our customers and company!

Yes Inwood's custom furniture - "Liberty Line" that is new in your store is beautiful! I can't wait to have it in there for a month or two and really get our regulars getting to know all the many options it offers. All the different trims, door shapes and designs and trims make the options endless! Look forward to selling it, it truly is the total custom option some of our customer's have been asking for!

Anyone in the area needs to take an extra trip to see what is on our floor and look at all the options that are offered, absolutely incredible and still all real wood at the best price in the country!

Sincerely,
Brett Blankenship

------------NEW POLL CREATED---------------

Travis,

Take a look at the new poll created and let me know if your crew sees anything else to add, remove or exchange. If you do have suggestions email me bbwoodyou@bellsouth.net and we can clean it up off site instead of tying up blog.

I would like to see a post on what styles and trends that the consumer wants in their home. If I knew what the actual consumer likes in terms of style, I can order and inventory according to these trends. This in turn would satisfy the needs of the consumer now. I know the styles and trends that manufacturers are putting forward, just need to know if these trends match what the consumer would want in their home.

Thanks,

Mr. Smith,
Welcome to the blog! For those of you in and around the Opelika area this Wood You store is a must see! What a neat experience it is just to visit Daniel's location . . . but be careful it can become addictive :)

I agree, what a great blog post that would be . . . too many times the manufacturers of furniture dictate the style. Let's put it to the people here to let us know what styles and designs they want. Maybe even what area of their house they are having the most difficulty finding the style and function that best suites them personally.

Great idea Daniel! You will see this one soon and be sure when you do that you get involved in the discussion with our customers that come on here.

Sincerely,
Brett Blankenship

I would love to see a post that gives a few pointers on making sure you are buying real wood.

I learned from experience that just because something has real wood on it does not mean it is al real wood regardless of what the salesperson says!

OK I'll go first . . . I want to do a blog post on the reasons you the consumer put off your purchases.

I think this is a fascinating topic. Why customers buy when they buy. What puts you the customer over the top when it comes to making a decision . . . the more we know the better we csn cater to your specific needs!

OK there is one of mine, whats yours?
