What You Love About Wood You!

As I have been uploading a multitude of pictures and changing the text for our new website look. It got me thinking about what I love about this company in particular and this industry as a whole. So I stopped and am writing this post thinking there maybe others that enjoy our product as much as I do.

In the last post you posted, you said you were opening a new store in Jacksonville. Can you tell me when and where? Will there be a grand opening sale? Any details would be great! Thanks

Mary,
Yes we are open on San Jose Blvd just south of Loretta Rd. We look forward to earning your business!

I recently purchased bookshelves and a desk from Wood You. Though I had never heard of parawood, I liked the look of the furniture. I brought it home and attempted to stain it. Unfortunately, it looked absolutely horrible. There is such inconsistency in the wood that the shelving looks different from one side to the other. I tried multiple stains and gels, but have had no success. It is a shame, but I ended up having to paint all of the furniture. I will definitely never purchase parawood again.

Response to Leslie:

I hate hearing your disappointment in the Parawood, we have been a supplier of that wood for many years and typically achieve the customer's desired look. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind . . . what name brand of stain did you use? Was it one that you purchased at your local Wood You store or from a home improvement store? Were you trying to get a really dark color on it?

I would enjoy discussing this matter with you further . . . if you like feel free to contact me via my email bbwoodyou@bellsouth.net to look into possible solutions. Thank you for taking the time to share with us about your disappointment in the way your stain turned out and would appreciate an opportunity to assist you in rectifying that.

Thank you for your time in this matter!

I for one am a customer with your company because of the real wood. I hate the particleboard that is offered to me by furniture stores. You guys have real wood and that is my big draw to Wood You

LOL . . . who knows brother, how you been? Just shoot me an email next time, have a good one.

I have been buying from Wood You since I moved into my first apartment out of college - my Dad turned me onto your stores. My Dad and Mom's whole house is from your store. I love the whole finishing process, my Dad and I used to do it throughout my time in their house.

I have not been on your site in a bit. I see you have a blog now, very nice! Well put me down as a hard core real wood lover!!

Real wood, music to my ears, I just love it and I envy all the people that have purchased from Wood You.

I am in Canada and all I can do is watch and be amazed at these lovely furniture. I will visit the store on my next visit to Trinidad and who knows I might be able to take a little Wood You with me. Keep up the good work.

We recently bought our first home and were looking for affordable furniture for it. We've checked out furniture at a few other stores, but could never find the anything that was both the right style and color.

We checked out Wood You . . . (comments edited) . . . just out of curiosity this weekend. We were very amazed at the great prices and friendly service. We purchased our furniture completely hassle free and it was delivered to our home in less than two hours of the purchase. We plan to come back very soon!

I enjoy the custom color aspect. My son and I spend quality time together staining/painting. BTW, my son is now 7 and has been finishing for 2 years.
Of course after doing some comparison shopping, I also like the fact it's all real wood.

I stopped by your site to show my wife a desk I am interested in and see you guys had this blog, I like it!

My mom got me hooked on Wood You, in Orlando, while I was there getting my master's degree. Then I moved on the west coast of FL near Tampa and continue to buy from you guys. I love your real wood products and I like saving money! You have me as a customer for a long time!!

pain in the butt to navigate!!!!

Sandy,

Are you using the manufacturers buttons at the bottom of each page on woodyou.com? . . . not the ones on the left but at the bottom of most individual pages? They will take you directly to the subcategory, of that page, for all manufacturers.
- - - > Except Archbold - their PDF file does not support that. Ultimately WhiteWood's website will not be a PDF file making their site easier to navigate.

The ones on the left take you to each manufacturers home page, not specific subcategories. Also there are 2 manufacturers (Lawko and Norris) who's pages are not up yet.

I do realize how nice it is to have all items available on our main site. Just is more efficient and accurate to allow the manufacturers to maintain the majority of the skews.

email me if you would like to discuss this further at bbwoodyou@bellsouth.net, I appreciate your input!

Sincerely,
Brett B.
