I'll first say the 2 girls working for Ms. Stankaitas are good people and don't belong there. I imagine they stay because they need work. I paid $2500 deposit for a " professional design" program. It's stated these funds will be used against future orders. That's turned out to be flat cr*p. She kept that above the pieces ordered . I needed 2 rooms done fairly swiftly, but expected class. Her showroom looks good, but I learned her actions are sleazy w/ integrity missing. She can't design- the items didn't fit. She's a blamer; she'd blame all her mistakes (perhaps due to too much wine, along with her whining) on either her employees or the customer. As an adult, I was shocked that she would try to humiliate her people in front of customers. I'd be gone if she didn't have my "deposit". She repeatedly mis-ordered, poorly designed and demanded final payment for goods that were months late but not rcvd. When goods arrived, they weren't even what was ordered ,but she refused to refund. She recommends "a great worker that's been helpful to me" as a painter, but neglects to say it's her son who's just as sleezy. He broke two items in my home and tried to hide it, when here to give me bid. It was a paint store that let me know it was her kid. They won't sell this man paint anymore. Finally, I cut m losses (big ones) rather than deal with her anymore. Our family is disgusted. I'd go to court, but we're dealing w/ cancer , which is why we looked for outside help. There's plenty of free designer help at quality stores. I thought I was doing good by trying to support local business. Stay clear of her (and sons) or be ready for dark days and loss. I really believe she has both mental and moral problems. By the way, I checked reviews first. The good ones, I later learned were written by her sons, boyfriend and old employee.
