The lady's name who runs under the business name is called Angela Blake, and I dont even know if that is her real name but she is a scam. It's a tricky scam though. She will quote you and ask you to deliver the materials for the project. She will then send emails stating progress of the project, but constantly delay the due date.
She is tricky in the sense that she does not request payment upfront. This keeps her to being charged criminally. However, she will hold on to your stuff, be difficult to contact, and will not return your calls and emails in time to not have you start worrying. She is hoping that people just give in and surrender their items so she can then have proof that it was'given' to her so she can sell it herself.
She has a facebook page under HARVEST DESIGNS, and after going to her home with another customer to speak with Angela, we spoke to a neighbor that said she doesnt even know how to upholster, but she lives with some guy who does. She has stated that she was single to one customer, but then had a fake husband call me to make a sympathy call about how his 'wife' is stressed with so many projects. I would not trust her. Once she has upset customers, she deletes them from accessing her fb page so they can't let the word out.
There are no reviews online and when you first initially call her about your project, she tries to sound like a nice lady just trying to turn a hobby into a business. I gave her my couch and the material to upholster it (over $200 worth of property) back in early April but it's now June 26th. She's sent me fake pictures of the couch being done, along with numerious bad promises of it's progress and when it will be done. I've tried to kill her with kindness and I have tried to be understanding, but she takes advantage of that.
She's sneaky and knows how the law works. She tries to get people upset enough to just surrender their projects, and that's how she gets away with it.
