"I have been buying expensive objects from Gus at AC Stickley for over 30 years. Day or night he will take my phone calls answering my unlimited questions. The pieces have always been exactly as described. Shipping has always been free and as close to white glove as possible. I can't recommend him enough."

"Items not as described. Perfect condition listings were actually heavily restored. after spending almost 70 k in one sale 4 items had issues. One not able to locate post purchase , one heavily restored one damaged pins snapped on an original finish morris chair poorly packed to ship cross country. Disappointing to knowyou were taken or items misrepresented after purchasing I would never purchase damaged items Items in auction. He used a stock photo and even mirror images that photo to post a pair of slatted magazine stands. He sold a pair of items he didn’t even possess. One of my stands is not as photographed and one missing and he can’t locate Post auction ?. Items shipped were damaged and waited months to resolve. Still ongoing. Communication is not a strong suit of gus. Watch this guy. Get everything in writing and his free delivery is not worth the savings. Hire a professional mover or shipper and save on the damage and ongoing nonsense. In 20 years of buying one of the most shady dealers I have encountered."

"I’ve purchased over $40k from Gus. Impeccable service."

"We swung by here on our way to Carmel and it was like visiting a museum. If you love historical treasures that are truly beautiful and some are one-of-a-kind, then spend some time here on a Saturday."

"I purchased a Stickley table and hired the owner, Gus Bostrom, to deliver it. He never delivered the table and now refuses to take my calls or answer my emails. I am out $1,400. Stay far away from this business."
