This place is terrible, don't waste your money. I ordered something over three weeks ago, it still hasn't shipped, no communication, and when I ask for a refund they need to "research" it so they can hold my money longer. In fact, they probably don't have my money.need to get it from some other fool to send back to me. This place shouldn't be in business.

Terrible, don't waste your money. I ordered something over 3 weeks ago.zero communication, it never shipped, and then you request a refund and they need to "research" it before they refund it and hold my money an additional 5 days to earn interest on it.this place will be out of business in a month with the way its being ran.

I purchased a Flatball from Smart & Green and I am in love with it. The system is really user friendly and it looks awesome in my backyard. I used it for a party and it fit perfectly in the decor! Also I love that I can control everything through my phone (turn it on and off, change colors, ambiance etc. )
