I went to the one in Costa Mesa, CA in January and a few of my friends and I took the class offered by Quick Quotes. "Windows, latches and doors..." (I think that was the name of it???) Anyhow, the class was so fast I was in a panic the whole time. It wasn't complicated stuff, but they planned on too many pages for the short amount of time. Because I whipped through it so fast to keep up, the pages were sloppy (not to mention it wasn't my taste) I just threw them in the trash when I got home. I really wish I could have viewed the projects online before I signed up. All there was, was a description of the class. Based on the way the display projects looked when I got there, I would have taken the S.E.I classes. There layouts looked were more my style.
As for the shopping...it was great! The prices were competitve, but the selection was nice. I got to handle a few things I'd never seen before to decide if I wanted to buy them or not. I'm going to the one in Ontario, CA, but I will not be taking any classes this time.
