This company keeps cold calling me on my cell phone in spite of the fact that I live in Arizona and have asked them to remove me from their list. This review is only posted out of pure frustration and in hopes they see it so I can finally stop being bothered by them.

There are amazing products available in a variety of colors at reasonable prices! The marketing catalog is amazing and very attractive! I would definitely recommend this store.

Excellent service promptly provided while I was in the store. I didn't need a 12 count package of bankers boxes, so Betsy gave me a perfectly suited product carton for FREE! Awesome!

Little disappointed. Came to buy some office chairs for temporary use and looked in the close out section. Found three chairs, one that was perfect. Mentioned that I would be back to pick them up, and the one that was perfect was "sold" five minutes ago. As I'm walking out I hear "Hey what am I supposed to do with this?" The chair wasn't sold, it was put in the close out section and was a nice chair so they decided to hold onto it and tell me it was sold. Will not be furnishing any space with furniture from here.

Very happy with the items and service we received. The filing cabinets we ordered were delivered almost 2 weeks ahead of the projected delivery date, the cabinets were in pristine condition and the delivery associates were extremely professional. We will use Wulbern-Koval Co again and highly recommend them.
