Bought 4 dining chairs and two counter height stools. Went in with one thing in mind but when I sat in them second guessed myself. A terrific assistant, Chung, suggested different chairs after listening to my style and she was right! Love what I bought. Very happy customer.

Chung Ling has been incredibly helpful over several purchases now--she's even provided digital renderings so I can see how things might look in my space. I've truly appreciated her design knowledge, patience and excellent client service.

Writing about my experience purchasing an office chair from this location. Chung Ling was extremely helpful explaining the features of each chair and I’m happy I choose to visit to try in store.
