Arona Home Essentials Cedar Rapids 3607 1st Avenue Southeast, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402

"They would much rather refund my money twice during their promotion than call me about my purchase. I even called and was told they would call me after they came back from their break. Utterly useless company that cant even do what its suppose to. Please sell yourselves back to Aaron's and let the professionals do it"

"Arona is a great place to get what you need for your new home, they go above and beyond to help you and make sure that you’re making the right choices for yourself."

"I'm late and tried to pay bout half of my payment they would not accept half. I'm on disability so some months I struggle. They just are not willing to work with you and the manager is rude and hateful. I've gotten 3 tvs a washer and dryer set and a stove and then they won't work with me. Wint ever use these folks again."

"The owners are very professional and have great taste in furniture. Kind hearted genuine people with southern hospitality. Brandy (owner) has decorated our entire home with her great recommendations and reasonably priced items from living room + bedroom decor to kitchen and laundry appliances. We have been costumers of theirs for 3 years and counting."

"The new policy of waiting a day or more for items is absolutely ridiculous. We made it clear from the beginning that it was my boy's birthday and we wanted to get the item today, but they waited until we were finished with the paperwork to inform us. What a waste of time! The guy at the front desk seemed friendly and liked to talk, but he wasn't much help. The lady only appeared when the guy at the front was about to assist us. They sell pre-owned items at new prices and only reduce the payment, not the final cost. So, if the pre-owned item comes with a roach inside, it's apparently okay because they factory reset the device. Make sure to thoroughly inspect the device inside and out, and if the promotional items from the company aren't in the box, you're missing out on the actual reason people buy new. It's unbelievable that they charge extra if you use a card and even more if you call in. And don't get me started on the bosses wife; she's terrible and rude. Oh, and be cautious because the boss gets angry if customers have issues with his wife. It's just sad that you have to contact the corporate office to deal with the lousy store in Cedar Rapids, and they admit they receive numerous complaints about that location. No wonder their Google review is only 3-something; it's obvious they have issues there."
