I ordered a BBQ counter and bar set with built ins and gave them a $ 500 deposit on my credit card. After not hearing from them for four weeks I called and the line was disconnect and when I went by the store area it was closed and locked up. They left town and so did my $ 500. Anyone who knows of their new whereabouts, please contact me at

My husband and I went to Islander Backyards showroom on 9−7−10 and ordered a patio furniture set that was displayed on the showroom floor. We were told it would take between 7 – 14 days to have it delivered. About a month after we placed the order, which was charged to our credit card, the furniture was delivered to us on 10−11−10. The furniture consisted of an outdoor dining table and 6 chairs. The table was not the one we saw on the showroom floor but an entirely different piece of furniture. The chairs were the ones we ordered expect one was damaged and the delivery person took it back. We told the delivery person that the table was wrong and that he should take it back but he told us to call the store and they would take care of replacing the table.
When we called the store, we were told that the furniture that was delivered was what was on the invoice. There is no way for me to tell from the description on the invoice what we would be receiving and I certainly do not have the item numbers that the store uses to compare the invoice with the actual furniture.
The store offered to pick up the furniture and credit my credit card back minus a 20% restocking fee. That is totally unacceptable since they delivered the wrong furniture to us and we should not have to pay for their mistake — assuming it was a mistake and not simply a bait and switch.
