It exceeded expectations. I surprised myself by replacing a watchband wihth one exactly like the one I purchased at a high end jewelry store a year ago. They cheerfully installed it for free. Talk about one stop shop. I bargain shopped the whole store and found some nifty impulse items (soap dish) as well as the best strawberries I've had, better than the ones at Dominicks' or whole paycheck. Wal-Mart may not be Nordstrom's but they have come a long way. Time for snooty shoppers to take a second look.Carol Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05918934588620903530noreply@blogger.com
