I had been searching for local furniture stores and though I often use Yelp, I finally went…read moreelsewhere to find one. Low and behold, I read about Seavey's in Portsmouth (with parking!) which apparently is in a new location. It is a light-filled factory building space but not overwhelming. It is set up so you want to walk around and try things out. Much of the furniture brings you back to the 50's. Some pieces are works of art! But many were beautiful but affordable. And made in this country! And it is locally owned! Which is what I wanted. Michael the owner is friendly and informed. And no pressure. He spent a lot of time with us trying to choose pieces for our limited space. We have swatches at home now to make decisions and look forward to returning to work with him. Maybe the categories on Yelp need to be switched up with furniture stores at the top so you don't miss going here first.

We have bought so many items here, from lamps to chairs to tables to rugs. Each time we've been…read morethere, Michael the owner is friendly, knowledgable, helpful, and very chill. Seavey's has great (free!) delivery, and every time we visit there are a ton of new items. All modern/mid-century, and from different brands. You can't go wrong with a visit or purchase. They are a local business that we want to and will continue to support.

I now have a table that guests ask me about and compliment, but they can never recreate! Is it wrong that I thrive off the fact this table is designed by me and customized to be one of a kind? Probably not.

I follow this story on Instagram and I am addicted, pretty much every piece they post. The location is in cute Dover and the store is pretty large so I encourage you to go and look on every level, in every nook. I have gotten a few items from here and have never been disappointed. If you see something online they have and cannot get there immediately, just reach out to them and, if not already taken, they will hold one day for you to get there to see if it is what you want to purchase. I also have to say the prices are very reasonable. And, sometimes they do these 20% events - when they do, I try to go up even if I don't think I want or need anything. It is just a fun place to visit and imagine how something would fit into your space.

Honestly, it should've been our first and only stop. The quality of their furniture is top-notch, but what really set this experience apart was the exceptional customer service -- especially from Kyle. Kyle was fantastic to work with. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and above all, transparent with pricing. He took the time to understand our needs and helped us find exactly what we were looking for, without going over our budget. It didn't feel like a sales pitch -- it felt like genuine help. After visiting several other stores, the experience at Bernie & Phyl's was a breath of fresh air. We'll absolutely be returning for future furniture needs, and I'd recommend this location (and Kyle!) to anyone looking for great service and high-quality pieces

The furniture was delivered on the date and time committed. The two young men, Tyler and Connor, were just really outstanding.

Highly recommend Allen Wayside Furniture in Portsmouth. Really a great team and a joy to work with.

Condescending Owner and Rude Vibes - Skipped It Entirely…read more Tried this place once before and the owner (Allen, I believe) came off as incredibly condescending and rude from the jump. Dismissive attitude, talking down like we didn't know what we wanted, zero warmth or help--just made the whole shopping experience off-putting. Walked out without buying anything. Fast-forward to recently: my dad and I were hitting up every furniture shop in the area looking for a solid living room set. He suggested stopping at Allen Wayside since it's right there on Route 1. I told him straight up about my previous run-in--the owner's snarky, superior tone turned me off completely. No way was I stepping foot in there again, especially not dragging my dad into that nonsense. We drove right past without even pulling in.

It seems they keep all the decent stuff tucked away and hidden in the back. I managed to buy a good set of dining room chairs, although they were a bit overpriced. That took a while. I can already tell the kind of people they want to attract to this store. People who have poor taste and just want non quality, whimsical, cornball items in their house.
