Great experience! Walked in thinking let's go local and so glad we did! We recently gave our big…read moresectional to our oldest and left without a living room couch. Then we heard how difficult it is to get furniture now (16 month back order yikes!) We honestly loved the vibe of the shop - we were allowed to shop, sit discuss without any pressure. One couch we really liked we were told was available in their warehouse - woohoo! We talked, asked questions and purchased. It was carefully delivered by one of the owners and their son not even a week later. So happy with our purchase- we excellent quality and just what we didn't know we were looking for. Thank You! We will be back! (Soon we need end tables)

Neat furniture store in Durham. They have moved from their original location, the address was wrong…read moreon Yelp so we originally walked to an empty store front. The new location is just up the street about a block or two. My husband and I like mid-century modern furniture so Area has been on our list to check out for a while. I had been to their Greensboro location before, but never their Durham location. The store is fairly large with a concentration on couches and chairs. We went in look for a desk and they really only had one option so it wasn't a big hit for us. We liked quite a few of the light fixtures so we will probably be heading back in to purchase those. The person working who I am assuming is the owner was friendly, as others have said he was happy to answer questions, but not pushy at all.

Did a Rooms To Go delivery driver damage your property? Let me break this process down to save you…read moretime and frustration. Rooms To Go (RTG) contracts a company called SEIDS for delivery. SEIDS, in turn, hires careless third-party contractors to facilitate the deliveries. When these contractors damage your property--and they almost certainly will--Rooms To Go will pass you off to SEIDS to file a claim (the fine print in your RTG contract states that you cannot hold them liable for property damage). SEIDS then proceeds to lowball and delay for weeks or months until you get frustrated and give up, all while reminding you repeatedly that the driver is an independent contractor and solely responsible for any damage caused. Basically, two multimillion-dollar companies, with all their assets and infrastructure, choose to pit working-class people against each other rather than doing the right thing--which would be to treat property damage as part of their operating expenses. Corporate cowardice at its finest. DO NOT sign off on your furniture delivery until you've inspected all of your property--walkways, stairwells, walls, etc. The moment you find damage, you need to file a claim with RTG and IMMEDIATELY start reaching out to licensed contractors. Per SEIDS, you must provide two (2) quotes, and they must be on business letterhead, itemized, and detailed for repair of the damaged area only to be considered valid. Better yet, shop elsewhere--Rooms To Go furniture is garbage, just like their customer care.

Love Home Goods! Hate the crowds but the store is great which is why it's crowded all the time…read more This one is a great shopping center close to Target, Michael's, Kirkland's and some food places. The store can feel cluttered but has great selection. I always go here for olive oil or salt and pepper because it is always cheaper here than in the store. I also love the teas they have. Nice furniture options too, but can be pricey compared to At Home. The staff is always nice and the lines are long but never take forever to get through.

What's not to love about Home Goods? Incredible selection, fun experience, and helpful associates.read more

Cute store filled with things you probably don't need but will want. LOL. Affordable prices on home…read moredecor, especially seasonal/holiday items. Also, there is makeup, stationery/pens, food/candy, and more. It's like a Five Below on steroids (prices are not necessarily $5 but nowadays even Five Below has higher prices). Although it doesn't have the same pricing structure as Five Below, the store gives you a similar vibe. My favorite items are the pens. You can buy a single pen in brands like Mildliner, Pilot, and more in a range of colors (if you're a pen lover, you know the thrill of being able to try out one pen before committing to an entire pack). Service is fine but, based on my experience, you may have to go to the checkout counter to get an associate's attention if you need help.

Amazing deals, always clean! Friendly staff and self checkout available. Very nice storeread more

Sissy is very knowable about design and what would fit the clients needs. Last time in, we saw a very practical patio table and chair set. I was imminently due for ankle surgery. We bought it and said it might be a while before we could pick it up. 10 weeks or so later, I called to give an update on when I could pickup the furniture. Sissy offered to bring it to our N Durham cottage since she would be coming that way soon. What a nice surprise gesture. (Not their policy). Stop in the see the great offerings they have which turn over very rapidly and enjoy the fruits of their talents. Bruce and Kathy Harrod

The store contains furniture of many styles but I am always drawn to unique antique pieces with soul, and this shop has many of those.

This store is a true design gem (not just in North Carolina but nationally - especially due to…read moretheir robust online offering and incredible design industry knowledge) and the owners (Ivy and John) are absolutely amazing in every possible way - truly the sweetest people. As a principal designer (with a key focus on interiors) at an award-winning national practice, I have worked with countless retailers, supply houses and interiors consultancies. Without question, these folks are my absolute favorite supply partners and I work with them every possible chance I get (note that they also offer trade pricing should you happen to be an architect or designer). Over the years my wife and I have bought several pieces from them at various price points and have always been impressed by their level of service, responsiveness, kindness, enthusiasm and overall product (and industry) knowledge. I truly cannot say enough great things about either the store itself or the people behind it.

I had purchased an item that turned out to be unavailable until October and while Ivy could have let me wait, she actually emailed me within 24 hours of my purchase to give me a chance to cancel the order if I didn't want to wait. I really appreciated her gesture and ended up keeping the order. She was very responsive through the entire process and I can't rave enough about my experience. Thank you Ivy and as I had let you know, you have a lifetime customer.
