Walking through Blocker's Furniture felt like stepping into a grand equestrian estate in Ocala. The pieces are bold, oversized, and substantial. Thick wood. Heavy frames. Furniture that commands a room and assumes the room is enormous. If you own a sprawling ranch or a large estate and want your home to reflect that scale, this store will probably feel like a perfect match. The craftsmanship leans traditional and weighty. It is designed to make a statement. But I realized something about myself while I was there. I have already lived through the era of massive, heavy furniture. I have owned the pieces that required multiple people to move. I have designed around size and permanence. I am not in that chapter anymore. These days, I want light. I want bright. I want airy. I want pieces that feel flexible, cheerful, and easy to live with. Furniture that does not feel like a lifelong commitment. Furniture I can move myself if I need to. Furniture I can let go of without stress if life shifts. That is not a criticism of Blocker's. It is perspective. If your lifestyle calls for grand, solid, impressive pieces that anchor a large home, especially in Ocala's equistrian ranch culture, you will likely love what they offer. If you are in a season of simplicity, mobility, and lighter living, you may find yourself admiring the scale while realizing you want something different for where you are now. Perspective changes. And that is okay. read more

We bought a Jackson Catnapper and started having problems before the warranty was up. Blockers gave us a number for the repairman and we called, left voicemail and waited and we called, left voicemail and waited and we called, left voicemail and waited. Finally we called Blockers again explaining the problem and they gave us another number. Since they baited us out beyond the warranty period we now had to pay the guy they recommended cash. He didn't do anything. English was obviously his second language and he really didn't seem up to the task, so we were still stuck. After that, another motor failed. I have tried to contact Jackson Furniture Company without success. At this point I cannot recommend either of these outfits at all. We have an $1800 paperweight now thanks to Blockers inability or unwillingness to provide proper after sale service. read more

Customer service is very poor. Stopped into the store for an updated delivery date (received one kitchen chair but missing the other 3 and the kitchen table). I was informed that the receiving dept would call me in a few days. They did not. I waited another week and finally called them. I was told the sales rep would call me the next day. He did not. I waited another week and emailed the sales rep. I got no response. I waited almost a week and emailed him again. No response. I just emailed the company from their website. Waiting for about response back tomorrow. All I'm asking for is an updated delivery date. I was told 4 weeks and it's been close to 6 weeks. About ready to cancel. read more

High quality however they never have special interest rates other than their standard 24 months. They are expensive and you really need longer time to pay off interest free. Don't get me wrong the quality is excellent just need more time to pay off interest free read more

Brian & Roger from Blockers Furniture were all smiles under those masks and I don't know how they do it, given how hot and unforgiving the Florida heat is! Their absolutely great attitude reminds me just how important our delivery drivers in the community are. Everything you buy in any store can't get there without hard working guys like these. Thank you to all you hard-working drivers out there! And a special thank you to Brian and Roger @Blockers read more

If you are looking to support a small business like I was, this is not the company. Was promised our furniture by Christmas but did not receive it until after Christmas because they wanted me to pay another $100 for a van delivery. We had already paid for two deliveries and felt the extra money should be their cost since we were told it would be here by in time for Christmas. Some of the furniture came damaged and again I had to continuously follow up to get our replacement. The customer service is horrible to deal with and not friendly at all. Say they will get back to you and never return calls/emails until I called again. Asked to talk with a manager and was told he/she was with a customer and offer no call back to me. I guess you are not considered a customer once you give them your money. Definitely would not recommend or buy from them again. read more

Great selection, helpful sales staff. Found furniture that met our needs perfectly. Kudos to Mary Beth who worked closely with us and helped us find exactly what we needed. read more

Its nice walking in somewhere, needing help and not even being offered once as all the sales people stand around. Everyone is holding their folders standing around while i try and wave someone down followed by a stare and they proceeded to ignore me. For such a huge store, and what looked to be a lot of people on staff im appalled or maybe just everyone met their sales goal this month!! Definitely will not be coming back here! Also their cleaning lady is very rude to customers, she seemed to be the only one paying attention to anyone walking in and making aggressively rude comments under her breathe. Very strange experience, and we happily gave our service to KANES across the way, so make sure to check out KANES first before entering this place!!!! read more

Friendly efficient service, good quality furniture at a fair price. Delivery service was great, on time, fully set up and very friendly. Would recommend them to anyone looking for furniture or decor. read more

Still would rate blockers as a five-star for their sales team, however, the furniture that we were originally were told would take 4 months is now taking closer to 10 or 11 so we decided to cancel and buy something on consignment. They were great at calling us and being honest. They were also wonderful at doing the refund of our deposit Over the phone with no hassle. It's not their fault the furniture is not coming in. We will definitely try them again in the future when turnaround time is more reasonable. read more

This is the second time I have bought furniture from Blockers. Although it's a bit of a hike to get to from Alachua (1 hr to Ocala) it is worth the trip. The store showroom is massive with lots of different furniture styles, selection and quantities to choose from. The sales people are always friendly and helpful. They let you do your own thing without hovering. Each time there was a sale going on so I got 15-20% off the list price. The furniture quality is excellent and they do take custom orders. In addition to furniture they have lots of accessories, lamps, pillows and wall art. You could literally decorate your whole house with the selection. The other benefit is they deliver to Alachua for a nominal cost ($60). The only drawback is it can only be on certain days when the do other deliveries to Gainsville. The last order was a complete custom office furniture collection. I literally had to buy it sight unseen since they did not have a floor model. But it came as described in the literature. It was of high quality and the delivery setup was flawless. I would definitely buy from them again. read more

Blocker's Furniture - Mattresses Near Me - Ocala, Florida

We needed a repair to a chair we had purchased and it was no longer under warranty. SABRINA worked with us to contact the manufacturer, who was not at all cooperative or interested in satisfying us. Just saying the chair was no longer available for purchase. Sabrina and my husband discussed whether we would be able to find a piece of fabric to repair the damaged portion. We have 3 other pieces to match and this was clearly a flaw. Sabrina found the fabric and, again, by communication with my husband, the piece was able to be replaced. Within two weeks, as promised, Sabrina called to say the part was at the warehouse. She was so professional, courteous and caring!!! We've been to Blockers various times and I am sure we will go back again! Thank you SABRINA! read more

Third time in here and second time I made a purchase. Dropped into a competitor earlier this week for pricing and because of sales tactics decided to come back and see Tyler @ Blockers. Fair deal for what I wanted (not lower end cardboard) and got free delivery. So damn pleased that I bought a recliner to go with the sofa with heat and massage on both. I'll go back. Fred read more

Purchase day sofa from Bassett from blockers furniture ordered it in an oyster color hunt club Bassett sofa the sofa came in with mismatched cushion covers and the sofa itself was not the correct color we decided that we would suck it up and take the sofa in the color that it came in provided that they would change out the cushion covers to the correct color of the rest of the body which they did now 2 months after that the basset hunt club sofa is pilling even after we got the fabric protection in the warranty for 5 years Bassett is doing nothing about it they say that's not covered under warranty and blockers is doing nothing about it this is no way to treat a customer I will not darken the doors again Unless something is done in a professional manner read more

We've lived here for two years and always thought this was a vacant business Now I know why I've never heard of it or realized it was open for business. I'm pretty confident they have a high turn over. There is no way that many ppl can be that ignorant on how financing works UNLESS you're a new employee. Bought a "starter" bedroom suit for our D getting ready to start college. The woman in the cashier/financing/contract, etc, dept.was a bundle of nerves with a bad attitude. I couldn't tell if she was overwhelmed or needed to be on an anti anxiety med. Every question we asked about their 90 day set up and the co. who does it, Merchant Preferred, was met with a heavy, "I don't know...you can call them and ask them." It was late, we were tired, we only had 1/3 of the purchase amount left to pay, and we knew it would be paid off within the month, so we ordered the bedroom suit. The mess we had to go through to find out how and when we could officially pay off our furniture, the lack of knowledge and bad attitude from the women behind the counter at Blocker's Furniture will be their demise. Our sales person, Don, was a nice man. The men who delivered our items, very nice as well. When you hire ppl and give them the responsibility of setting up accounts, taking payments and explaining to the customer how the process works and they act insulted when they have to follow through and DO their job, why would anyone want to continue to do business with you? Their furniture is nice, but over priced, except for their "starter" room which is equivalent to a Rooms 2 Go back when they first opened and sold vapid furniture sets. Solely based on the snarky attitudes of their cashiers/ office personnel...we will not be returning costumers. I like to do business with companies that know how to operate their business, know the companies they are partnered with and can address the customers' concerns without major attitudes and selective amnesia. read more

I live in Gainesville but only buy my furniture from Blockers. Lucy and Debbie are excellent salespeople and really know their products. Everyone is so efficient at this company. Deliveries are confirmed and on time and delivery men are helpful and very efficient. I would recommend Blockers to anyone. They have never let me down. read more

I have recently relocated to FL. I have been waiting 12 weeks for Blockers to correct an error on their part, where they ordered and delivered my sofa with the wrong color legs. I contacted them immediately after delivery and was told I would have to pay $40 for the new legs even though it was their error. I had spent $5,000 there!! After expressing my displeasure they agreed to replace the legs free of charge. Since November I have been calling to find out when I would have the replacement legs. They continually tell me they're ordered but the manufacturer has not sent them. I find this very hard to believe and find this situation totally unacceptable. I will not be shopping at Blocker's in the future! read more

I purchased a couch loveseat recliner and a full dining room set Labor Day weekend 2019 paid in full before I left the store. The furniture was delivered November 2nd 2019 and the recliner was the wrong color it did not match the couch and loveseat. So I contacted our sales representative right away and he said that one would be ordered right away. I contacted the sales representative on 12/24 2019 only to find out that someone forgot to order the chair. So they said they would order it right away and I should get it between four and six weeks. I just contacted Chris and customer service and she said that it was never ordered and today is the 25th of February 2020. So now if they order it today it'll be another four to six weeks. So the moral to the story is do not pay for your furniture in full because by the time I get the recliner it will have been 6 and a half months since it was ordered and paid for. read more

Blocker's Furniture - This is a picture of thr recliner and couch. - Mattresses Near Me - Ocala, Florida

We Love Blocker's! We're new to Florida and shopped every furniture store in the area; Babbett's, Family, Rooms to Go, Hudson's and Kane. None compare to Blocker's! They're nice to deal with and are the ONLY furniture story around that has a 30-day return policy. This is a HUGE deal for people (like me) that may make mistakes in choosing pieces for their new home. I was overwhelmed with the open floor plan and had no idea what I was doing... I had to return 3 pieces and it was not a problem at all, and in fact, they encouraged me to return it if I wasn't happy because that's what they wanted! The staff are friendly and professional and nothing is ever an issue. I furnished 2 rooms in my home so far and will be going back for the other 3. Recommend working with sales women Pam or Jackie, both are stellar. Prices are better than any other place around too and quality is great. There's a reason they've been in business for over 90 years. This is how a business should be run! I'll never shop anywhere else as long as I live here to furnish my home. Thank you Blocker's. read more

I hope no one is foolish enough to buy from these dishonest merchants. They took advantage of my wife and sold her mobile home furniture

This company has been grossly negligent in regards to the safety of the furniture they sell. My family purchased a loveseat from this company two years ago and only a couple of months into owning it, we had issues. One of the recliners would not go back into the normal position. We politely called and requested that the issue be fixed since the sofa was still under warranty. The person they sent out to fix the couch, made my physically and mentally disabled mother hold the couch while he made the repairs. She tried to tell him that she has restrictions on what physical activities she could do, but she was felt pressured by him and held the couch. I was in the other room at the time, so I did not see this happen or else I would not have allowed. This action caused her to be injured. He also borrowed our tools to repair the sofa because he apparently did not bring enough of his own. This wasn't a big deal, because at least we had the tools, but it seemed kind of unprofessional. Not to mention that the tools he borrowed were left IN our sofa. As soon as we sat on the sofa, the bottom part of the recliner flew open. It was very fast and shocking to whoever was seated there. We called them back as soon as we could and told them that the issue was still occurring. They kept telling us we would get a call back and someone would be out to fix it and they never did. We had this back and forth with them until our warranty expired. By then, the problem was so bad, that the recliner part of the sofa would spring open without anyone sitting there or touching it. This wound up injuring my dog, my father, and my mother on various occasions. We called and let them know that this has been an ongoing issue and we really need it repaired. We have never been unwilling to pay for the repair. We just need the issue actually addressed. Well, Cheryl at Blocker's decided that the solution was to scream at my disabled mom when she reported the injuries received from the couch to Blocker's. We begged for a repair on this sofa and we were told that we might have someone come out to fix in within several weeks. Meanwhile, my dog was hit in the face by the recliner flying open while he was walking past it and it knocked him unconscious. It deployed while my mom was walking and she hit her head on the coffee table because she tripped over it. At this point, we would love for Blocker's to take responsibility for their negligence and fix this damn couch so that we don't have a loaded death trap in our home anymore. I called Cheryl one last time to let her know that if she was unwilling to send someone out to fix the couch, that we would be seeking legal counsel for our damages. She told me to go ahead and the conversation was over. If you would like to do business with a company that doesn't care whether or not you are gravely injured by their furniture, Blocker's is the business for you. read more

I was extremely disappointed with the service from Blockers. We went in to purchase a Chofa. We were told by the sales representative oh, I could have it in here in two weeks. So basing on that timeline, we purchased the Chofa. Well, hurricane Irma came and we had to leave back north sooner than we planned . My husband went in to check on the status, he was told not to the end of October Maybe November. Very different story than what we were informed . He was also treated rudely by the salesperson that day. Then when he told them that we were going to cancel since we would not be down here, she then said oh we will have it here by the end of September. We canceled. I do not ACCEPT being lied to. We will not go there again. read more

My husband and I just moved to Ocala from Minnesota a few months ago. We finally found a home, and needed some new furniture and a new bed. When we went in, there were a few sales people standing there and they didn't even make eye contact or greet us. We went over to beds and was there for at last 30 minutes. No one came. Went into the other part of the store to look for living room furniture. I thought I was in the twilight zone. i said "hi" to a couple of the salesmen and barely a "hi" back. I felt like we was iwere invisible. It was truly a surreal experience. In this case, there were plenty of workers but so far none of them wanted anything to do with working and making money apparently. Finally a lady who worked there said "hi" first but she was walking away while she said it. I asked her if she could help us and explained that we had been there for just under an hour and no one wanted to help us and we were ignored. She apologized and later said that the employees have been told time and time again they need to greet the customers. We were also told how amazing this company is and how old it is. Well, we were not amazed. This woman helped us very efficiently and the lady that checked us out was really nice too. Too bad the cashier wasn't One of their salespeople. So we bought over 5000 dollars of furniture since we didn't have time to go to another store and start the process of looking around. . I was happy to have finally found a salesperson that would actually take our order. I can only conclude that the owner does not care because if he/she did, their words to the employees would be taken seriously and obviously as the salesperson had said, had been admonished several times but nothing has changed. I could tell she heard this a lot and was frustrated herself. I will go to the other furniture stores and will likely buy from them although I am keeping the card of the nice sales woman at this store, and I would buy from her again if we found something there again that we had to have. read more

We shopped all over for new living room furniture. We finally found exactly what we wanted and it was actually the same furniture we saw at another store in Leesburg but if was much lower in price. Don Vigh was our sales person and he was wonderful. Very helpful. We also dealt with the ladies in the back office and she was very nice and helpful too. I would recommend this place and Don to anyone looking for furniture. read more

Purchased furniture from Blocker's Furniture and love it! It was just what I ordered and went way beyond my expectations. My salesperson was excellent and the lady that I dealt with in the office was very nice also. This is not my first purchase from Blockers furniture and will not be my last. Such a shame that those who usually put post on Yelp seem to only want to write negative reviews. I give Blockers furniture a thumbs up and they will most definitely have my business in the future. read more

Was working with a great young lady named Jackie on some hancock and moore furniture and two Bali Hai bedroom sets. Was told she decided to move on and I was stuck being helped by someone who was more concerned about his "side" business than helping me finishing my house. Wish you had more great people who would like to sell furniture rather than water. Luckily someone gave us our old sales ladies information and we will not come back here again. read more

This store has terrible customer service. I walked into the door and was just glared at by the lady behind the desk, she never spoke a word. I continued into the store to browse around for a specific kind of bed I am shopping for. Three different employees/salesmen walked by me numerous times and never even said so much as Hi to myself or my son. I walked the entire store and still had not been spoken to nor asked if I needed help. These people are HORRIBLE and I will never step foot in their doors again and will make a point to tell friends/family or anyone else looking for furniture to never do business with this furniture store. read more

So upset about my recent purchase at Blocker's! My wife & I have done quite a bit of business with this locally owned furniture store over the past 20+ years, but no more! Looking for a leather recliner, I was told by the salesman that none of their factories were using real leather anymore because the new faux leather was superior & more durable. I grilled him, expressing my concerns - my previous leather recliner had ONLY torn & separated at the parts that weren't real leather. After only a brief time of normal wear & tear usage, my chair has 4 holes in it & the store refuses to help me in any way! The faux leather turned out not to be the only thing that was faux about Blocker's! read more

I went to blockers to purchase children's bedroom furniture and mattresses. At first I was discouraged because I didn't see anything that I liked. But, Cindy was amazing! She introduced me to the Young America Collection. I bought 2 bedroom suites in 2 different styles each with temperpedic mattresses. read more

Warning do not go here!! I special ordered a chair I had to put down 25% and waited 6 weeks. When I receive the chair the cushion did not fit properly at all I called blockers and told them I would not accept delivery of the chair. The delivery service also took photos and sent it to the office for them to see and they told me that they would replace the cushion so I signed the papers and accepted the delivery. They are now telling me they are not going to replace the cushion after just telling me less than a week ago that it has already been ordered. Trust me they are nothing but liars and thieves. I would never go there again and be careful if you go there because they will treat you so nice and then stab you in the back what an awful experience!!! Jamie Y read more

Very nice items at expected prices but I was not pleased with the customer service. I walked into the store after 2 elder couples. The first couple was greeted and asked if they needed help. Followed by the second couple. Both couples received greet customer service as soon as they walked in. I am a 25 year old who looks like I am about 18, I was not greeted, and the whole time I was there (about 30 minutes) I was not approached or acknowledged, meanwhile I see multiple people walk in and I hear them greeted and being helped. I assume I was not taken seriously as shopper. Working in sales I know that you treat every customer the same who walks through your door whether they are a ritzy elder couple or they look young and unestablished. I was looking to furnish my living room, dining room, bedroom and pool deck. I am sad that I was a serious shopper but wasn't worth the time to the sales associate here. read more
