Most of our exchanges were conducted by email; Scott's responses were prompt and thoughtful. I was able to make my selections based on his accurate, quick replies. I am very happy with the pieces I chose. It was a great buying experience aided by someone with the same passion for Arts and Craft design and workmanship. **★★★★★ — Ktb designs, July 2016** > I loved dealing with Louis Shanks! > The salesperson I worked with, Leslie Wechler, was extremely knowledgable and efficient. > Then, the installation went so smoothly. The ranch is north of Mason Texas, basically the middle of nowhere. GPS will only take you as far as a small, rural post office at Hext Texas. From there the delivery people had to follow written directions to a gate, and then drive down an unpacked road 1 mile. There is no cell service on the ranch, so if they were lost, we were out of luck. However: they followed directions and arrived on time. They were efficient, organized and clean. Assembled 3 king size beds and installed several pieces of furniture in 1 hour. No damage and everything was wiped clean of finger prints. This was a flawless install: 1 of 5 in a 3 day period. I was very pleased and relieved to have it go so smoothly! > Thank you to the Shanks team! > The following week, I had similar success in college Station. As a designer working on many projects in remote locations, I need to know I can depend on the delivery teams which I use. **★★★★★ — mlhdaywood, June 2016** > Michael and Leslie at Louis Shanks in Austin, Texas were very helpful in assisting us in several purchases for our newly constructed house. Master bed, mattress and rug; living room recliners and rug, dining room rug to go with family pieces, and lastly family room sectional and rug. Everything works perfectly in the spaces, as Leslie came to our home to measure rooms. ## Selected projects - [2017 Spring New Arrivals](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2017-spring-new-arrivals-pj-vj~2281929) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 20 - Description: New arrivals to our showrooms 2017 - [Spring 2016 New Arrivals - Inspiration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spring-2016-new-arrivals-inspiration-pj-vj~1784840) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - Description: Louis Shanks has just completed a company-wide, three store- remodel.
