I was excited to purchase a high quality table from a local business. The wood slab is beautiful. I experienced great difficulty in receiving service for a quality control issue with the base. Communications were often patronizing and often not reflective of the facts of the situation. The company did make it right in the end, but only once I wrote a poor review and without an acknowledgment of the issue. read more

Just happened to discover this store on a day when I arrived downtown with a friend early, and had some time to kill before our restaurant reservation time. It looked like it had some very unique pieces, so we ventured in. We were instantly greeted by a very friendly, genuine lady. You could tell from the start she was so enthusiastic about the products and loved her job. She begin by telling us about their outside product lines which include customizable couches, and then practically gushed when she got to telling us about the things they make themselves. After seeing the gorgeous urban live edge tables I could see why. I am now dying to have them make me a table, and maybe some shelving, and more. Also, all of the artwork featured on the walls for sale is by local artists! After chatting with her for a bit she directed us to the 7 floor sister store 2 doors down. Urban Timber, located in an even larger store next door sources salvaged logs from our area, as well as Upstate NY (my home!). They involve the customer in every step of the process from picking their piece of wood, to measurement, shape, and even the base. The wood is completely dried and finished on every side making it a lifelong lasting product. While the prices are not inexpensive, you are truly getting a value for the high quality you are receiving. It is an investment. At the time of our visit a nice gentleman gave us a tour and if we had the time he wouldve taken us upstairs to where they make the tables. A sign out front mentioned free delivery. Super impressed with everything at these two locations! read more

The level of customer service is outstanding. The woman who helped us was not trying to make a quick sale. It felt more like talking to a friend than a sales person. We learned a lot about the pieces in the showroom. All of the art that adorns the walls is created by local artists. Algin is not just in the community, it is a part of it. The sales person also explained to us what goes into making there tables. There wooden tables are impressive. Truly a showpiece. They are made from solid planks of wood. A special drying system is used. This way the wood is dried completely through, and there will be no warping as it ages. They also finish the wood all the way around. This helps to further protect the wood. Multiple woods, finishes, and styles are available for clients to choose from. Made by Algin, they will build a table completely customized to your needs and desires. The store actually continues a couple doors down. There they have multiple floors of furniture. The third floor is where they build their house made pieces. There is a lifetime warranty on sofa frames. Not all of their furniture is made in-house. Those that are not are from quality designers. All of the art that is for sale is from local artists. Prices are on the high end, though I would say in line for the quality. read more

Don't get me wrong, Algin Retro totally gets my style, and I like what they have to offer. But perhaps it's not the best idea to have contractors painting/remodeling your shop while it's open, leaving their equipment in the middle of your store to block the path of potential customers, and laughing and yelling loudly over the music you're currently playing. A shame because I only got to see about half of the store, and I'm not a local! read more

Algin has some really cool pieces of furniture! I ended up spending a few thousand dollars to outfit our entire apartment; that's how cool it is. We had a few issues after our purchase which they ended up helping out with. I'd recommend this place for their awesome style of furniture. My experience is as follows. We paid extra for delivery because we live on the third floor. We called a few times because we hadn't heard any updates and it ended up being delivered in about 14 days. We bought an entire set of furniture that we were told is pretty durable with pets. It snagged a few times in the first month so they showed us how to repair it - our sofa didn't come with a warranty. In the second month, we had buttons fall off. The couch is tufted so it's not easy to repair that issue on our own. When I stopped in to ask how they can help, the owner got my information and told me to send pictures. He would personally reach out to the manufacturer and if they couldn't get new cushions, he would make it right. It took about a month and several follow ups but they ended up getting us replacement cushions delivered. 3 Stars due to the lack of communication but in the end they helped make it right. read more

I needed a small table for my kitchen and told the friendly and helpful salespeople at Algin exactly what I wanted. They showed me a few pieces around the store, and then told me if none of them worked they could probably order me something. About an hour later I got an email from them telling me that they were able to find a table top in the size and color I needed in their inventory. They placed it on a reclaimed pedestal bottom and I picked it up later that day! 5 star customer service. They have 7 floors of furniture - some new home furniture, some consignment, and a lot of office furniture. Also some beautiful live edge wood pieces that they make there. I'll be keeping a close eye on them for all my future furniture needs/wants! read more

They ridiculously over charge for the same furniture I found on Amazon or even from the manufacturer for way less. The building needs a lot of up keep and good thing I was wearing a mask because the air in there on some of the floors doesn't seem safe. read more

In this day and age, finding a place like Agin feels like a small miracle. Algin is the real deal, old school furniture place. The new stuff is cool and not overpriced considering the high quality. The custom wood shop traverses the line between function and fine art. But to me, even more impressive is the fact that they have a huge inventory of used, commercial quality office furniture in stock, carefully inventoried, and immediately accessible with the help of their knowledgeable and friendly staff. We bought one amazingly clean and sturdy office file cabinet for about the price of a new cheesy one from -insert big box store name here-. Katie, one of several friendly staff members on hand, treated us extremely well and professionally, gave us several options, and even arranged for free delivery! All for ONE used file cabinet. When you hear the term "they just don't make them like they used to", perhaps it's correct when it comes to furniture, but this store is a welcome throwback to a better time, full of excellent customer service and quality goods. read more

Alan is awesome. Has some really neat, one of a kind items. His office staff is beautiful!

This is my new favorite furniture store in Cincinnati. They have really cool replica pieces of some of the mid-century classics. The staff was really helpful in making my choices. I purchase a recycled wood table from reclaimed wood form the park district. I love it! They also delivered to my home. I will be back. read more
