Throughout every phase, Susie was fabulous! She brought great creativity and energy to the project and made earnest effort to understand my wants, as well as to closely connect with my daughter.

I will be designing another room with you very soon and look forward to it!

Buyer Beware! We…read morerecently purchased four Poltrona Frau dining chairs from this company for ~$12k, only to find the frame of one cracked. Arkitektura has been extremely unhelpful. We purchased several Poltrona Frau pieces in the past - dining table, lounge chairs, twelve dining chairs, coffee table. The furniture is exceptionally high quality, but on one occasion we had an issue with the workmanship on a piece, and it was immediately replaced. We thought that was an attribute of how Poltrona Frau stands behind their products, but it turns out it is an attribute of the Poltrona Frau distributor. The only difference between our past orders and this last order is that our others orders were purchased through Perigold, and included free delivery to our home. The Perigold Customer Service team immediately worked to remedy the situation and replace the defective chair at no cost to us. We've had the opposite experience with the a Arkitektura team. They have made this our issue, and instead of working with the manufacturer to fix this, they told is they'd sell us a replacement. I will never trust this company with our business again. Possibly the worst service I have ever encountered. Additional background: This firm has a sketchy warehouse where orders are shipped to. Because we were unable to get them to schedule a delivery for several weeks after the chairs were received at the warehouse, I sent my husband to pick them ip. The warehouse manager carried the chairs and loaded them onto our truck in a way where the cracked frame of the chair was facing him and not visible. As the chairs were unloaded from my husband's truck less than ten minutes later the broken framed was noticed and the company was immediately notified. Again, they refuse to take any ownership and have made this our issue. I recommend purchasing any high end furniture with a company that actually cares about their clients. That is not the case for Arkitektura.

1 star. I want to…read morepreface this by saying we did sign a contract, and I understand what that means. This review is not about disputing that. It is about the lack of transparency, professionalism, and basic customer care that defined our entire experience. We came in with a straightforward situation: a student preparing for a single exam who needed a workspace for a short, defined period. That was made clear from the start. A reputable business would have used that information to recommend the right plan, ensure the terms were fully understood, and establish a clear end date. None of that happened. We were signed to an open ended contract with no mention that it would continue billing until actively cancelled. It is also worth understanding what the membership actually gets you. The $400+ monthly fee covers access to a shared open floor, essentially a glorified waiting room. A private room is available but billed separately at $200 per hour. For anyone coming in with a specific, time sensitive need, that pricing structure deserves serious consideration before signing anything. When the exam concluded, we assumed the matter was closed. A simple courtesy reminder before the next billing cycle, something any client focused business would provide, would have prevented this entirely. Instead a charge came through without any warning for a month of service we had no intention of using. I called to address it. Marcus took the call, acknowledged the concern, and committed to following up. Over a week passed with no response. I had to call back myself. When I finally reached him again, he was dismissive, referred to our student as my "supposed" student, stated he did not have time to address the issue, and told me there was nothing he could do. His exact words were that he could not refund me even if he wanted to because he still had to close the account. This was nearly three weeks after I had originally asked him to do so. To be clear, he had not closed the account, had not followed up, and was now using the uncompleted task as the reason a refund was off the table. Had I not called back myself, there is a reasonable chance another month would have been charged before anyone did anything. The logic being applied here is that cancelling an account on the same day as a charge justifies keeping the full monthly payment. For a task that, by all appearances, still had not been completed weeks later. A business that respects its clients follows through on its word, communicates proactively, extends good faith when the situation calls for it, and works toward fair resolutions even when the contract technically favors them. This business did none of that. If you are considering this space, read the fine print, get an explicit end date in writing, and weigh the value honestly before committing. We learned that lesson the hard way.

Our server was inattentive, and super rushed whenever she did make it to our table- which at this price point, is unacceptable. The apps we ordered, the grilled artichokes and shrimp cocktail were excellent. Re: the entrees, almost everything is à la carte, even so, my sea bass was delivered without the potatoes it was supposed to come with. IMHO, WAY overpriced for the food and experience. If I return it'll likely be just for a drink and appetizers, a burger (which looked amazing!) or dessert and coffee. *Note: they don't serve decaf.
