“I would like to address the young couple, Ms. Olivia Smith and husband, who had such a negative reaction to Bali Cargo Company this morning. Ma'am, I have known Kim and her employees, as well as knowing about her store for over ten years. During that time Kim has been nothing but professional and run a business with a unique international flavor. Being her products come from Bali, I'm sure you and your husband understand the intricacies of pricing for a profit, while still remaining competitive. As for Kim's dressing room, yes, it's smaller than an airliner bathroom. Had I been in the store when your husband was attempting to enter the dressing room with you, I would have at a minimum raised an eyebrow, and most likely would have pointed out that two people wouldn't fit. A simple solution could have been for husband to wait outside the dressing room, then be able to reach in to assist in tieing your dress. More room for you, no chance of inappropriate actions or questions, plus your husband would be available to go check for other dresses for you. Ya'll have a blessed weekend.”
“When entering into, I was greeted immediately. Mark, the salesman was very knowledgeable and genuine. I was not pressured and able to take my time in choosing a mattress.”
“Scott Spencer was super helpful at the Town Center location. Didn’t feel pressured to buy anything and he was funny and quick with ordering of our new recliner!! Give this guy a raise!!”
“Great experience at mattress firm they showed me the different mattresses that would work with my bedframe and I was in an out the door in 30 minutes very satisfied customer”
“Rosemary was my Sales Associate. She took her time to explain in detail the type of mattresses that I was looking to purchase. She is extremely a professional and represents Mattress Firm to the Highest Standard of Mattress Companies. Mattress Firm should be very thankful for such an employee as Rosemary. She made me a customer for future repeat business Mattress Firm. Joseph W DiNatale, Sr”

“Elena was our salesperson and she was excellent. She has a detailed understanding of what each chair’s strengths and weaknesses are and coupled this knowledge with our individual needs. The buying experience was totally positive.”
“I was helped by Rob who is the manager of the store and the entire area. He was very knowledgeable about the mattresses and explained which helped in my decision. I was give an incredible deal with a sale on the mattress and was very happy. Delivery is only 5 days after purchase. I can’t wait to sleep on it. Rob was friendly and we had an interesting chat. I will refer all my friends to shop Mattress Firm. Thank you for your help Rob.”
“We were glad Nick was helpful in giving us all info about mattresses. We are very loyal to mattress firm over many years of purchases . Made the selection and received all delivery details which nick helped us prioritize for fast delivery. Thanks for professional advice and knowledge.”
“Very helpful and attentive salespeople. Was helped specifically by Spencer and Sydney to find the pieces I was looking for. They were very knowledgeable and helped guide me to the perfect pieces of furniture for my space.”
“My experience in purchasing furniture and accessories was made much easier thanks to the guidance of Julie Holland, one of the designers at the Ethan Allen store at the Jacksonville Town Center. She was professional , patient and attentive during the entire process. I felt confident in working with her and felt that we were able to make some great choices. I can't wait until I get to see what we picked out in my own home. I would recommend Julie to anyone seeking to invest in nice furniture. I look forward to working with her again and want to thank her for all of her efforts.”
“We own 3 chairs! 2 recliners and a sectional! Love sitting on all of them! Never had any issues until 3 weeks ago. Chris and his team, Suzanne, rose to the occasion and took care of the brains of our chairs under the warranty and did so with 2 trips to our home and an over night shipment with the part. We are back reclining and relaxing has never been better. Thank you!!!!!!”
“I had the best experience in the wonderful store. Everyone was so helpful here. The group of ladies are so sweet and happy to help you. This place is the best kept secret in Mayport road. If you like art, necklaces, earrings, chimes and anything you need. This is the perfect place. I recommend this place VERY HIGHLY TO EVERYONE.”
“Brandon was great! He helped us in getting a patio set and new cushions for an old rooms to go set! He was knowledgeable, helpful, and realistic!! Thank you Brandon!”
“What a sweet shoppe. From gift ware to antiques, jewelry, artisan goods, soap, ceramics, local art. One of those shops when you need a treat for yourself or a gift for a friend.”
“I’ve gotten so many amazing furniture pieces from here! So many unique pieces that are out of this world. Every time there’s new set up and my amazing woman Sylvia that works there takes care of me everytime! She is so attentive, kind and helps me out everytime I visit. I highly recommended coming here it’s like no other designer furniture store!”
“This Ikea was pretty crowded (Monday, MLK day, around 1pm) when my wife and I visited, so be prepared to wear your mask and mind your social distancing. Upon entering, the bathrooms are easily accessible on the right hand side of the entrance/lobby, so it's convenient if you already need to go after a long road trip :) My wife said the ladies' room was clean and no lines to wait for a stall. The family restroom (a lockable private bathroom) where I went was fairly clean as well. Overall, lots of furniture and kitchen displays to try out and enjoy. We observed plenty of interior design tips and color pairings that we wanted to try out in our own living space. We had a lot of fun even if we had to avoid the more crowded spots. They didn't have the couch we were interested in, but the furniture clerk, Michele, was very helpful in attempting to find it and explain which warehouse might have it. Of course, check online. Michele also showed us a mind-boggling shortcut to the furniture pickup area from the sofa display room that was definitely not on the map...TARDIS moment right there ? The chair we were looking for in the furniture pick-up aisles was not in the designated spot where Michele gave us a printout for, but we were able to locate it with the help of an untagged Ikea inventory manager (it was a few aisles down in the center where the sales items were). Sidenote: The parking lot can get super hectic. While we were shopping, our car got scratched on a rear plastic side panel. It could've been anybody since the vehicle we were parked next to when we first arrived was not the same one as when we came back from shopping and when we noticed the scratch, we were finishing up loading the car. The parking lot is not designed to fit all sizes of vehicles and parking spaces should be wider to accommodate the more common trucks, SUVs, and minivans that are on the road nowadays. We probably will not come back again until the parking situation changes and bathrooms are cleaned more often in between customers. Aside from that, if you just want to see the furniture that you're planning to buy online from Ikea.com, this is a good place to check it out.”
“Lots of worldly items.. Great foods, candies and delicacies .. trinkets.. dinnerware ..home goods .. wines..Oh wines.. and the staff and helpful too.. I Loved my Bob Ross mints 😁”
“Lovely store and delightful ladies running the shop made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Lots of beautiful furniture, accent items, also a very nice clothing and jewelry boutique as well. We’ll be back!”
“The most amazing Furniture and home decor items I have found in a long time. I also spoke with their lead floral designers Zachary They gave me so much product knowledge with florals and design help it was refreshing to have such wonderful customer service”
“Just bought a dining room table set for cheaper than I could find anywhere else! The set is so cute and they even took it apart for me and helped me load the set into my car for both trips! The dining table is a quality piece and looks brand new! Great experience here!”
“Tom at St.Johns town center was an incredible help in finding me a perfect mattress. As a nurse getting proper sleep is vital and I’ve been desperate to find something comfy. This is now above and beyond!! I couldn’t be more thankful to have such a positive experience and even more so an amazing mattress! Highly recommend seeing Tom to get you some heavenly sleep.”
“Stopped in to pick up a small gift for my daughter and hadn’t a clue as to what I wanted. After wandering around the shop, the wonderful store keeper directed me to an amazing and thoughtful gift to purchase. The shop is beautiful and has many lovely products, almost too many to just pick one.”
“What a great experience! We customized our new sectional with such ease. Great staff, exceptional customer service and I'm really looking forward to it arriving.”
“Great staff with good quality furniture. I love unique pieces. With an eye for design and being a local real estate agent here it’s always great to refer people to go there or buy gift cards for my clients.#whoyouchoosematters #bjsellsjax #bjsellspontevedra #travelwithbobbiejean”
“Went to one of the many available national chain mattress stores and felt like I was at a car dealership. Came across Richard's Mattress on Atlantic and was surprised to find it was a locally-owned store and been in business for over 40 years, being the first mattress store in the beaches area. I was welcomed immediately and made to feel at home with no pressure to buy. Mr. Richard is very knowledgeable about his line of mattresses and I happily made my purchase. Mattress arrived and did not disappoint. Delivery went without any problems, the crew was professional, and included setup. Dont let the young lady that assisted with the delivery fool you. She is stronger than she looks!!In short, if you're looking for a high quality, American-made mattress without the sales pressure of a chain store, buy local from Mr. Richard.”
“Teak Plus was great to work with. We bought something that they were no longer going to carry and wanted 1 additional piece that was not in stock. Elizabeth worked hard to get the additional piece ordered for us and honored the discount as well! Our furniture was delivered yesterday and we love it! The 2 guys that delivered it were professional and polite! I would highly recommend Teak Plus!”
“We just purchased a custom Adirondack chair for our pool area and were so happy with Rich’s work we went back and had him make us a headboard and footboard and bed frame and finally a night stand.His work is outstanding and we couldn’t be happier with our purchases.”
“Such a glorious store!!! Bought some heavenly smelling candles & Italian soaps. Ms. Elizabeth at the check out wrapped my purchase with care, & lovely customer service!! Thank you ??”
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
Wayfair is testing a new, smaller store design. The online home furnishings giant, famous for its endless digital catalog, is trying a different strategy for its physical locations. The company announced plans to open a smaller prototype store in Columbus, Ohio, scheduled for late 2026. Located next to the Polaris Fashion Mall, the new space will span approximately 70,000 square feet.
Online furniture giant Wayfair is setting up shop in Atlanta with plans for a huge 150,000-square-foot store opening in 2026. The new location will take over the former Walmart space at The District at Howell Mill shopping center. This marks Wayfair's second big store, following its first location that opened in Wilmette, Illinois, in May 2024.
