Long time customer of B&B Italia and once again they delivered above and beyond. Mathew Lobe from the San Francisco store was tremendous throughout the whole process and the full team behind him was engaged every step of the way. Besides carrying top designer products the first class service completes the experience. read more

Shopping with Allister Fong at B&B Italia was such a pleasure! As his knowledge of the product is extensive, he offered suggestions for various furniture pieces, fabric and metal finishes, all with a relaxed and charming demeanor. There was an issue with the installation on the day of delivery, Allister stepped in and resolved the issue over the phone with the installation team. All the pieces are in place now, and we are extremely happy with the look and quality of the furniture! If you want great service, high quality furniture at a fair price, Allister is your guy! read more

I had great experiences working with both Eric and Allister. I am particularly grateful to Allister for his help with my orders over the last few years. He's knowledgeable, honest, and to the point -- even when I wasn't his client. There was a period of time when my visits to the showroom would repeatedly coincide with my sales consultants' off days, and Allister would generously and patiently take over and help me look through fabric samples. His knowledge of the products impressed me: he'd tell me exactly which pieces would be easily disassembled, and which ones wouldn't, and which fabrics would be easily maintained, and which wouldn't. I wholeheartedly appreciated the honesty. He'd also look at my design renders, and instantly pointed out details that few others could (in this case, the fact that I wanted a Tufty Time, but instead had a Tufty Too in my renders). His attention to detail, knowledge, and honesty is a large part of why I've made multiple purchases at BB Italia over the last few years. read more

We've worked with B&B Italia for over 15 years now and they continue to exceed our expectations. Where others have began cutting corners, skimping on quality and value engineering every inch of their offerings - B&B is still making artisanal / first in quality / well designed pieces. If you have the ability to work with Matthew in the SF showroom - trust that you're in the best of hands. Matthew got to know our project, was curious about our preferences and his excitement to get samples into our hands was unmatched. He was a key to helping us get this project complete on time and to our liking. For our high end projects - B&B is always a first stop! read more

Incredibly positive experience thanks to both Allister + Rachel at B&B Italia for their incredible product, support and service. We encountered a hiccup during a recent install that could have have gone sideways quickly with our client, however, the B&B Italia team handled the situation with grace + expediency. The care, dedication, + prompt communication from the team was exceptional. We are a forever patron. read more

From the beginning of my 2 month process choosing new slip covers for my B&B Italia "Charles", and choosing new coffee tables to enhance my living room, Allister never tired from all of my questions. He was always on top of everything, answering questions for the factory when I wasn't available, preventing long delays for sure. Not only was he professional, thorough, and delightful, but offered his design expertise and advise at every turn. Thank you Allister, I'm sure I'll be back! read more

Allister helped me purchase the chair of my dreams recently. During the consideration process, he was really helpful and never pushy. I loved he told us the story of the chair (the chair itself had a lot of history which i appreciated hearing). We had to ship it to the east coast and he was really helpful in that as well. read more

Allister went above and beyond to help me solve an issue I had with damage to my Charles sofa during a recent move. He was so friendly and helpful I can't really say enough about what an absolute professional he was. Seriously I wish more people in our world could be like him! What a gem and how lucky for B&B Italia to have Allister represent their brand. He deserves 6 stars! read more

We had the privilege of working with Allister F & Eric L recently to design our living room furnishing for our new home, and I can't praise them enough for their exceptional service. From the moment we reached out with inquiries, Allister and Eric displayed remarkable responsiveness and they designed a dozen of proposals to meet our unique needs. After the purchase, they also helped actively follow up with our questions and made sure that the furnitures work perfectly at my home. Their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction was truly commendable.We highly recommend Allister & Eric to anyone in need of outstanding service. read more

Allister Fong is the most considerate, friendly helpful sales professional I've ever worked with. He went above and beyond to get me information about recovering a 25-year old piece that I love. Even though I haven't met him in person, I feel like he's an old friend because of his communications on the phone and by email. read more

I've been looking to redecorate a room for six years, and it wasn't until I went to B&B Italia and spoke with Allister that I was able to come up with furniture design I was happy with. Allister met with me multiple times at the store, and he even came to my house to assess the room so he could present multiple designs, any one of which I could have gone with. The new furniture was delivered just under a week ago, and I was genuinely over-the-moon happy with how everything turned out. Allister was the miracle worker here and deserves 99% of the credit. I will almost certainly go back to him to buy some additional pieces now that the core of the space has been decorated. read more

We'd been looking into getting a sofa from B&B Italia for quite some time and finally reached out to this location. We were connected with Allister who ended up being an invaluable resource to us. He walked us through timelines to order and helped us get our dream sofa a few months back. Allister stayed in touch with us and reached out to help us acquire two more pieces just last week! I'd 100% recommended working with him! read more

Though I didn't end up getting a sofa from B&B, I just wanted to hop on here to share that the customer service by Allister was top notch. I walked by on my way to EQ3 and decided to stop by to see their sofas. Allister welcomed me in with a hello and let me wander around until I asked him a question. He was super helpful and professional and didn't treat me like I couldn't afford their furniture, which I appreciated, since so many others have looked at me with their noses turned up. He promptly sent me the quote I had asked for and was nothing short of courteous and respectful. He's a rare find these days in the furniture business!! Thank you, Allister! read more

This review is for Allister. We didn't buy anything today, but regardless, Allister made us feel very welcome in the store. I really appreciated his knowledge of materials. He wasn't pushy at all, was very easy to talk to and funny. I hope we are able to do business with him in the future! read more

Our experience at B&B Italia was excellent. Allister F was great. He was attentive and responsive, even on weekends and really went out of his way to provide superlative service. Thank you, Allister! read more

I had a really great experience buying dining chairs. Allister went above and beyond in terms of advice and patience. I highly recommend!

After several years of renovating our house, we were ready for the fun part - decorating. We were searching for 2 side tables and a coffee table with minimalist, modern, sleek lines to complement an Eichler house. We went to several showrooms, and found the perfect pieces at B+B Italia. Desmond was wonderful to work with - knowledgeable, never any pressure. We took the two side tables with us, and ordered the coffee table, which would need to be manufactured in Italy and delivered during the last week in June. This was in February 2020, just before the world shut down for coronavirus. Oh no! Lest you think this story is going to go off the rails, it has a happy ending. Between the time we ordered and received the table (3-4 months), Hannah kept us very well informed every step of the way. The factory had shut down in March-May due to the coronavirus, but when they reopened, they worked 24/7 to catch up with orders. Guess what was delivered the last week of June, as promised? Our coffee table! "The last mile" was handled by the Tramo Group. They have been in business for 40 years and offer white glove service to deliver high end furniture. They were thoroughly professional. They put on masks and booties to come into the house, they securely assembled the base + top, made sure we were satisfied after we inspected the piece (it was perfect), and were very pleasant. We were quoted a delivery estimate at the time we purchased the furniture - and the actual delivery charge was 30% less! When does that ever happen? Quite reasonable, really. This experience was 5-star for sure. We hope to return to B+B Italia to select some additional pieces as we decorate additional rooms. They made the whole process fun. read more

My beloved Diesis sofa's arm finally had an issue, after a small connector part broke from years of abuse by my kids and their friends. Thanks to Allister F at B&B in SF, we got it fixed! Allister immediately identified the part, quickly contacted B&B in Italy, and got the connector part (and even a bonus second part) ordered. It arrived at my home, and Allister had also gotten me in touch with a repair person to do the work. Thank you, Allister and B&B! read more

The best experience ever! The team is super helpful and responsive. The process from ordering and delivery is very smooth and efficient. In addition, you can always trust the quality of B&B Italia. read more

Beyond the aesthetic joy of their well-appointed showroom, our shopping experience with Allister Fong was simply outstanding. We've been eyeing the Siena bed for a while and took the opportunity of a new home to make this purchase. Allister patiently and skillfully guided us through the fabric selection process for this bed, transforming what could have been a very overwhelming experience into a fun and easy experience! He is such a good listener with in-depth product knowledge and an easygoing and generous demeanor. Thank you Allister and we can't wait to work with you again! read more

I was hunting for a new couch and had my eye on the Tufty Time. My husband and I met Allister Fong in the store. He was incredibly patient and helpful in selecting the fabric and configuration. He was conservative in setting delivery expectations and the couch arrived a few weeks earlier than promised... in other words, he's a pro and we were delighted working with him. read more

Great selection of the finest Italian design. Really good team who are giving great advices and a really good level of service. read more

The team at SF B&B Italia have been amazing to work with from start to finish. From the moment I entered the showroom floor and Alister thoughtfully with warmth and expertise guided us through our options and patiently let us layout our samples in every possible lighting we could find in their showroom (we were "camped out") to the easy and thorough payment process to Rachel and Hannah working with their vendor in Italy to come up with solutions to help us expedite our furniture and then come up with a remedy to have our furniture held while our project got delayed, everyone went above and beyond. They did all of this with clear, consistent communication, patience, persistence and kindness. Thank you for doing things so well especially in these crazy time! read more

Recently reached out to the design/sales consultant, Allister Fong, who helped me purchase a stunning B&B ottoman and chair last year. I needed recommendations on cleaning them and the fabric content. He was amazing in suggesting trades for the cleaning and in sending the content of the fabric! He answered the phone when it rang on numerous occasions yesterday and helped me get this done so efficiently. Amazing service when purchasing the chair and again when needing further assistance. read more

When you make a big purchase like a sofa or a chaise it can be a little overwhelming because it is not always easy to visualize your home from the showroom. Desmond was the designer who help me with selecting the right piece for my small condo. Of course he was very knowledgeable with furniture but he took the time to understand what I was looking for and what my space was like in the apartment. When it came to material and color he helped me choose a beautiful fabric that was durable, soft and reasonable in price compared to the more expensive materials. He pulled about 4 color swatches that really matched what I was looking for. We eventually narrowed down to 2 then I was able to confidently choose. Hanna the operations specialist kept me informed ever step of the way, when the chaise would arrive. The delivery was smooth and every step went as stated. She also had such a genuine level of enthusiasm which matched my excitement for the purchase. I am so unbelievably happy with my new chaise and it was better then I had imagined. Why I even like mine better then in the showroom. Thank you Desmond, Hannah and B & B Italia, I really am happy. Anita read more

We worked with Allister to purchase the Oskar table & Charlotte chairs. Allister was amazing to work with and the whole process with B&B came with the utmost customer service and fantastic communication. Allister was invaluable in helping us pick things that worked well together and using his great eye for design in helping us craft our new dining room. Following our purchase, we received timely and relevant communication from the B&B team and our table and chairs were delivered and assembled perfectly. Amazing design advice, service and professionalism all the way through!! read more

We have an original Diesis couch with a broken armrest part. On a whim I reached out to B&B Italia SF to see if I can buy the replacement part. After talking to Allister, he reached out to the manufacturer in Italy and within a few weeks, I got the replacement part, plus a spare one, all at no cost. Thank you so much. read more

Finally! San Francisco gets a B&B showroom in town (thanks to the folks at Arkitektura who've been carrying the brand and from whom I purchased my B&B couch actually). Cool store with cool furniture albeit with the price tag to match (but you get to live with it). I wish I had more room at home to fit all of this in... read more

This place have some cool stuff and some from famous designers. But most of them I don't like it that much. Price is about the same level as Dzine or Limn, but not much of my style compared to them. Showroom is spacious, but don't have much furniture there. There are maybe one or 2 things that I really like. read more

I ordered a beautiful sofa from B&B Italia and worked with Allister, who was amazing. The sofa arrived and the configuration was not quite perfect but Allister in San Francisco and Rachel in Michigan worked really hard and made sure that the new pieces of my sofa were sent to me and perfect. The whole process was handled so elegantly by both of them and very much appreciated! read more

2018 is the year that I decided that I wanted to update my B&B Italia "George" sofa and ottoman. I met with Allister Fong and asked him whether it would be possible to upgrade to leather covers and what options were on offer. The first thing I seek out when shopping is an active listener and I found it in him. He has patiently walked me thru the entire process of selecting leathers; the end result is pure joy with the new covers. Hannah made the transaction and keeping me informed of the status of my order, and it was smooth, start to finish. I am VERY happy and satisfied with my new covers! Thanks, Allister! read more

I bought a beautiful couch there in february, 2020. The shopping experience was fun and thrilling. it was custom made in Italy and supposed to arrive in April but due to Covid, stuff got weird. Customer service and particularly Hannah B, were extremely attentive, although there wasn't much that could be done about the delay. Once the couch arrived we secured it and got it home. It's now installed in our house and we love it. There was some small damage that occurred during transport and the company replaced a piece without any issue at all. Highly recommend, it's expensive, but worth it. read more

From the moment we arrived, Allister was at the door greeting us as we walked into B&B Italia!! Prior to our appointment Allister asked what we were interested in and confirmed the pieces were at the showroom. He also took the time to email a design floor plan layout of our living room with our furniture choices. Once we arrived Allister took care of us and answered all our questions. Buying furniture should always be this enjoyable!! Thank you Allister!!:)) read more

Allister Fong provided exemplary service. He exceeded my expectations and was a pleasure to work with from the time I first met him on the showroom floor through my numerous questions and sale process in email exchanges. He is a very responsive communicator and knowledgeable about the product that he sells. Zero sales tactics and no attitude, which can sometimes be an issue with these high end shops. read more

Ridiculously overpriced furniture. Here you are paying for 1. SF crazy high rents and 2. Shipping from Italy. The furniture itself is nothing special. read more

We were extremely pleased with the service that Allister provided us. He patiently, expertly and affably advised us so we could make an informed choice on the purchase of an ottoman. (In addition, delivery of the item was completed smoothly.) We found Allister's insights so helpful that we've recently asked for his input on other design-related matters for our new apartment and he responded graciously. We will definitely visit B&B Italia in the future. Share review Write an update Edit review Delete review read more

If you want something done, and done right, make sure you ask for Allister Fong. He will take care of you and make all those groovey Italian modern designs actually come real in your space. Allister rocks! read more

Beautiful showroom that has most of the B&B collection on display. I was there over a weekend with my dog (carried her) and wasn't pestered by sales people or completely ignored. A good balance and was even encouraged to come back with my pup. Compared to Dzine the showroom is less artistry, more functional. Sales people more attentive and down to earth. Tips: -Tina helped us and she was fantastic. Extremely helpful and kind. -Street parking is ample. There are meters in front or free parking across the street, in front of the jewelry center. -They have a sale in early October and that usually coincides with floor sample sales. read more

The experience that my clients and I had at B&B Italia was unmatched anywhere in the city. We worked with Eileen and she possessed a level of both product knowledge and design sensibility that is rarely found in the world of high end designs sales. Her sales approach, while confident, was conversational and genuine. She listened. I brought my clients to B&B for a very specific reason. Eileen and I met a couple of days before I Brought the clients. During our meeting, she listened carefully to what the clients needs were, asked thoughtful questions, and offered design solutions that were exactly on point. After the sale, she, and her co-worker Hannah (logistics coordinator) were fantastic. They kept us up to date on the progress of our order and let us know exactly when our furniture was going to be ready for delivery. Since B&B's production facility is in Italy and the product ships via ocean freight, questions arise. Both Eileen and Hannah worked together to get us any information that we needed. After installation we realized that some shelf pins had inadvertently been thrown away. The ordered us replacement parts and when they arrived, Eileen personally delivered them to my clients home and helped make certain that they were installed correctly. Outstanding product, professionalism, and wonderfully attentive client service will keep me going back to B&B Italia over and over again. read more
