“I had a great experience with Rich, the manager. He let me buy my items over the phone and held them for me until I was able to pick them up. The experience was seamless. When I showed up then chairs were beautiful and very well priced. A total steal. Thanks!”

“My wife had purchased a few inexpensive Oriental plant stands and they were on their last legs. I started looking for quality replacements on the Internet because I do not drive and it is difficult for me to get around. I found Oriental Furnishings and became intrigued. Their selection was amazing. However, most importantly was their reviews. Every one I read was favorable or better. (Yes they can be better than just 5 stars) I decided on 2 rosewood plant stands and a rosewood coffee table but I wasn't sure if the colors matched. So I called their phone number and spoke to Bill. (who I later discovered that he was an owner) He couldn't have been nicer. He listened to my needs and put me on hold to check if the colors matched and if they were still in stock. Within minutes he returned with "yes" to both questions. I had asked if it was possible to have the items delivered into my home since I am 69 years old and disabled. He said he would arrange it but it might take 2 weeks. I said fine and I was very satisfied. He called me the following week and said they could be delivered in 2 days, a Friday. That was fine with me. At approximately 11:00 am an SUV drove up to my home. It was my furniture. The gentleman knocked on my door and asked if I was expecting a delivery. I said yes and he started to bring them. I told him that Bill, who I spoke to on the phone, was a really nice guy and extremely helpful. He then introduced himself as Bill. He told me his driver didn't show up today so he drove from Connecticut to Long Island to deliver my furniture. Without me asking, he unpacked and checked everything to make sure they were ok. He even removed the packing material. I have to say, they were beautiful. The colors were perfect and I couldn't be happier. In this day and age it is very rare that you find someone that is so considerate and caring of others. My entire dealings with Oriental Furnishings was fantastic and I highly recommend that you look there for you Oriental furniture and decorating needs. You will not be sorry. If you remember, in the beginning of my review, I said a company could be better than 5 stars. Now you understand why. Bill was absolutely fantastic to work with and when it's times to purchase more furnishings, I will only use Oriental Furnishings!??????????”

“The great customer service and expertise knowledge more than makes up for the relatively small showroom in downtown Stamford. We bought a patio/deck table for the best price around anywhere, and they also picked up our old patio table at no extra charge upon delivery. I would highly recommend United Home & Patio.”

“I'm back again. I love doing business with Marie and family. The quality and care that they take pride in their workmanship and the genuine positive energy of the smiles. This time around I had new stools reupholstered with new fabric and studs to match my club chairs and took two old barstools and gave them a black leather facelift. Highly recommend this family business!!!!”

“A fantastic resource for anyone interested in great design. Wonderful vintage pieces, superb original design, incredibly professional customer service, and now offering furniture refinishing and upholstery.”

“We reached out to Ryan at EVB looking for a specific book that is out of print, we wanted to purchase it as a gift. Ryan was not only able to locate the book (3 copies!!); he made a special trip to his Nantucket location that is closed for the season so that he could ship them to us in time for the recipient's birthday. Ryan went above and beyond for us, and we appreciate him so much!”

“Excellent service and they do top notch work for antique furniture! Can’t recommend them enough! Jesse and his team do top notch work and we can’t be more grateful for their service and craftsmanship! Highly recommend!”

“I purchased a set of dining chairs online, and I could not be happier with my purchase or the process! The chairs are even better than I expected and the purchase was seamless. Thank you!”

“This was my third time using the Clockery for repairs to my clocks. Each time the service was fast and very reasonable cost to me. Three very different clocks, all repaired and working fine thanks to the Clockery.”

“I recently called seeking advice for some large vintage & potentially antique pieces of furniture for a friend. After making several calls to local consignment and resale shops with no luck, I was grateful to speak with Kiersten. She didn’t leave me empty handed, instead she offered several helpful suggestions & shared valuable insights on next steps I could take for appraisal or disposition of the items. She was, hands down, the most helpful person I talked to in this local industry. She was also sensitive to the fact that these old items may have sentimental value to us even if they aren’t valuable on the market. I sincerely appreciated this high level of customer service. I’ll hold this shop in high regard for future purchases I may be looking to make. Thanks a million Kiersten!”

“If you like antiques and decorating this is THE place. There is truly something for everyone here regardless of what decor style you enjoy. I drive all the way from Long Island to go shopping here and I love everything about this place. The vendors are top notch, everything is displayed beautifully and thoughtfully and there is tons to look at. Everytime I go here there are new antiques to shop and I love that its a nice mix of old and new. I could spend hours looking around this place. Some items are negotiable as well. And since I love a good deal I genuinely appreciate that.”

“I love this store! Amazing assortment of jewelry! You can truly find a piece of jewelry for anyone at this store! Amazing place to get someone a gift or to treat yourself! Staff was incredibly kind and helpful! Can’t wait to go back!”

“Been shopping at Bungalow for almost twenty years. Used to shlep all the way from Stamford to see the unique collection. Still love some of the pieces I bought there years ago. Great selection of lamps and handmade ceramics. I am always able to find what I need when I need something yesterday - gifts, decor and readers!”

“I'll echo what another reviewer wrote which is that they are wonderful to work with. Their years of experience has given them an invaluable depth of knowledge and quality of work. They are the best in the business and I'd recommend them to anyone, personal or professional, to use on any furniture restoration. They are also incredibly easy to work with! Very quick to respond and answer all questions.”

“Truly an amazing collection of antiques and vintage items. There are several dealers at this design center; while each has their own unique style - including which design period(s) they focus on collecting and presenting - and way of decorating their space, it all comes together to create a beautifully-curated, design-lovers' paradise. Whether you're looking for a statement piece of furniture, the perfect objet d'art, or a new (vintage) piece of art to grace your walls - Avery & Dash is a great place to explore. There is a good mix of prices but definitely what is expected for the quality of pieces presented (please understand, these are authentic vintage and antique pieces in fantastic condition and therefore are priced as collectors' items or investment pieces). Also, the design center staff was very helpful - they greeted us when we went in, allowed us to browse around without hovering, and offered info when I found some things I was interested in (they were very accessible had I needed them sooner). They were the perfect mix of helpful and accessible - without being pushy - and friendly when we started talking. Just go - stroll around, see beautiful things, and even if the prices are outside the budget, inspiration abounds here! I found 3 or 4 mid-century modern buffets/credenzas and 2 dining sets I wanted to take home. If you're there to take it all in, give yourself at least an hour or two - there really is a lot to see. And last but not least - there is a decent amount of parking right near the store.”

“Was beyond thrilled with my King Size French Bed, end tables and the service I received from this company. I had spotted this bed many years ago in the UK and couldn’t justify the shipping or the off size as a Canadian. I happened upon this company and was still nervous to make a purchase like this online. I called and had my first conversation of many with Gloria. She was very helpful and accommodating. When she first sent pictures of my furniture from the manufacturer before it was shipped I was in a panic. The piece was what I wanted but the finish and upholstery material didn’t appear to be what I expected and wanted. We were communicating by text and I was honest with her about my concerns. She explained that because of the finish it could appear quite different depending on the light and angle. She assured me I would be happy and if not she would order me another one and send finish samples if I was uncomfortable. She sent more pictures when it arrived from her showroom and I made arrangements to pick it up. The bed is stunning and if anything exceeded my expectations. My husband inspected it thoroughly and said the workmanship and quality is fantastic. I really was quite a difficult customer through the process and Gloria always had time for me. The packing, care and service from her employeeswas also very professional and courteous. It was a real pleasure to meet Gloria at the end of this process and I can’t thank her enough. I wish this company a lot of success and give my vote of confidence in ordering from them.”

“I have bid (won and lost) several times. Company is very responsive and responsible to work with. At my request they suggested a shipper and it worked out very well. The posted pictures and item's description are accurate. Good job, Butterscotch!”
