Furniture shopping can be exhausting. This place makes it... shockingly easy. House of Values carries a ton of high-quality furniture lines, especially if you're looking for something custom or well-made without the luxury-showroom attitude or markup. But the real MVP here is Nancy. She is next-level helpful--ultra patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly knows every line, option, fabric, configuration, and "what if" scenario inside the store. I came in looking for a custom couch with only a vague idea of what I wanted, and Nancy calmly walked me through multiple directions, styles, and price points without ever pushing or rushing. No pressure. No upsell. Just genuinely good guidance. And the prices? Honestly hard to beat. Especially for custom furniture, the value here puts a lot of big-name stores to shame. Bottom line: huge selection of quality furniture, excellent pricing, and customer service that actually feels personal. Ask for Nancy, take your time, and thank yourself later. Five-star, bookmark-it, tell-your-friends kind of place. read more

Attentive and knowledgeable service, a large selection of manufacturers, and reasonable prices.

Where do I start? Well, I came in and was greeted well. As I started to look around a nice lady who will remain anonymous asked if she could help me. I told her I wanted to replace a sofa and chaise lounge. As we talked she asked if I knew the dimensions and I said I did not and she recommended I find that and we could start from there. I went home, measured the length of my sofa (64 inches) and chaise (29 inches) and returned a couple days later. I checked out a few sofas and liked the texture of one and from there we chose the color and she went to her desk to write up an estimate. My mistake was not paying attention as when she wrote up the estimate, it was for a love seat and not a sofa, which is what I wanted. She had checked marked on a very small diagram of the various selections and because my previous sofa had 2 back cushions and what she checked marked on for my approval also had 2 back cushions I approved the selection. Again, assuming what I had approved was the 64 inch sofa turned out to be a 53 inch loveseat. My bad. But I guess had she known what I really wanted as I had explained that to her from the beginning, I would have hoped she would have pointed out I was approving something I didn't want, lengthwise. When reviewing the diagram she had checked marked for my approval I noticed my old sofa had 2 back cushions and when I looked at the diagram she showed me the loveseat also had 2 back cushions, but the sofa I would have wanted had 3 in her diagram so I dismissed it as being too long. I made the wrong assumption that my new sofa ( loveseat) with the 2 back cushions would be the same as my old sofa with 2 back cushions lengthwise. Sadly I now have a too small loveseat that is 10 inches shorter than what I wanted. I assume responsibility for trusting my salesperson to knowing what I wanted from our initial conversation and not recognizing my oversight when finalizing the sale. read more

The staff is helpful and there is large selection, including items they have access to but aren't able to fit on the floor. I love the head of the team, Nancy. read more

I ordered a couch right before the Covid hit and all I can say is House of Values was the perfect place to buy a couch from. Everything was delayed but they kept me informed the whole time. When the couch arrived, the delivery was on time, the guys were incredibly careful with bringing it into the house and removing all protective coverings. The couch itself was just as ordered, fabric perfect, workmanship excellent and it is gorgeous. The staff answered all my questions, we went over every aspect of what I was ordering to make sure the communication was clear and precise. The best thing of all was the savings I saved. They have a low overhead and the showroom is simple. The fabric selection is incredible. If you can't find your fabric, then something is wrong with you. As anyone can tell I'm over the moon with this company. I now have to find something else to buy. read more

House of Values - The perfect couch for my small living room. - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Mateo, California

We moved to Roseville, CA and haven't found anyone remotely close to the service and value we experience via House of Values, so we organize our "wants" (getting pretty good at this) and work with Nancy's Team over email or the phone. If we need to choose fabrics, it's our worth time to make the drive to San Mateo. When it's time to pick up our order...we're saving so much money *and* getting such quality furniture...I rent a trailer and go pick it up. I have zero regrets, because of the price and quality. It's also nice to see Nancy and her team's friendly faces. Last thing...we recently downsized and had many pieces of furniture placed on consignment (all previously purchased through House of Values). These pieces were hard to give up, but we no longer had room in the much smaller house. Everything sold quickly! Here's a picture of our most recent purchases. A new bedroom set for the new house. read more

About a year ago, we were shopping at House of Values, we found a large clock/cabinet that we really liked. We talked to "Junior," a very nice grandfatherly man who took care of all of the paperwork. I came back later to load it up into our car, and to my surprise, he insisted on helping me carry the bulky thing out to my car and helped me jostle it in through the trunk and past folded-down car seats. Since we moved to San Carlos about a year and a half ago, we've been on the lookout for furniture. Our realtor recommended House of Values and we've stopped by several times. In addition to looking around at the furniture they have in the store, they've got a back office full of furniture catalogs. You flip through some catalogs for ideas, mark the things you like, and they'll photocopy and price check things that you're interested in before you place your order with them. It's got a very different feel from a typically furniture store; it's a bit on the homier side, and the back room is bustling with energy. Overall the staff is very busy but helpful, especially with finding similar-looking items and tracking down samples. This past weekend we stopped by since we've been looking for a new bed (we ended up ordering one). We noticed a flyer in the window announcing Junior's passing and were greatly saddened, even though we didn't know him personally. We had definitely seen him around but didn't realize he'd owned the store since 1949. At the bottom of the flyer: "Hard work is the supreme luxury of life." read more

My full bedroom set of 5 Mission style furniture pieces was purchased over 20 years ago, and is in excellent condition. Nancy and staff were great to deal with. There was a delivery issue which she handled professionally by making me an offer I couldn't refuse. I recommend them highly for value and customer service. read more

This is what integrity looks like . House of Values goes above and beyond to accommodate your style , price , vision and delivery needs . This should be your first stop when looking for quality and customer service !!!! I love my new Emery Sofa !!! Thank You read more

Last year we bought a desk as a present for a family member. Great looks, wonderful quality and in stock. They delivered, no charge. Nearly a year later, the user had damaged a piece of hardware--doubt if it was faulty hardware, a hinge. They ordered the part and offered to have it installed, which we declined since we know how to operate a screw driver. First time we ever had an issue and they passed with flying colors! When we went in to pick up the piece, it was late, and I casually mentioned that I'd be back to look for an office chair, they pulled several catalogs and offered to show me some fabrics. This is absolutely unheard of--most businesses start dimming the lights and send you on your way. These folks know their business, are crazy reasonable with prices, are kind and want you to be happy with whatever you buy. So refreshing--wish that this level of service would spread to other businesses. read more

We have been buying furniture here for 18+years. Excellent service. Just purchased a King bed frame, saved 45-50% off retail. All employees are very helpful, Nancy did a great job! Thank you . My son is now going to start buying his furniture here as he just bought his first home. read more

House of Values - King bed- Universal Paula Dean Collection. Very durable and HEAVY. Love it!!! - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Mateo, California

U[date: delivered, and it is just what I wanted...!! Decided I wanted a new dresser.....and went on an extensive hunt for the perfect one. Came upon Stanely's Coastal Living line...and realized House of Values carried the brand...DGD's bedroom furniture is Stanley and was purchased here. Sent a couple of e-mails to HoV...and received quick answers to my pricing and availability questions. I needed to go in and look at finish samples, and check out the construction, so hubby and I headed over early this morning. Beautiful drive over the bay.... Great service...glad we came in early. Saw a similar piece for construction , and picked the color....so glad I did not rely on the internet. Decisions were made...and it is ordered!! I can't wait to improve the nest. read more

I walked in here last week in search of a new dining table, sideboard, and bed. Our neighbor told us they had good deals and that it was a good place to shop. Anyway, when I walked in, there was a female employee sitting down at their work area and she looked up and didn't greet me...not even a head nod or a smile. Okay, for a small furniture store in the suburbs, I think it wouldn't kill you to greet your customers. As I began to look around, there was another employee who appeared to be busy but again, no greeting. There were other customers in the store who were casually dressed like me and I noticed they weren't greeted either. Yes, I was dressed casually because I don't dress up to go furniture shopping. It was a very snooty atmosphere..get over yourselves ladies, you work as a furniture salesperson, not at Tesla as an engineer. Will not be spending my money here read more

They have fantastic staff that are all very knowledgeable about furniture & interior design. The prices are better than any other furniture stores I have been to & they have a huge selection of furniture to choose from. We ended up furnishing our whole place from House of Values. It's was truly a wonderful shopping experience! read more

House of Values is one of those hidden gems. We recently discovered them as they are one of the few furniture stores that carries furniture from a certain manufacturer in the Bay area. Through them, we were able to order a bedroom set at a great price. They kept us informed every step of the way from order, to shipment arrival, to delivery. Their delivery team is efficient and careful when moving our items upstairs. We did have a manufacturer issue with the nightstands we ordered and HOV was very accommodating working with us to get a resolution that kept us as satisfied customers. A big thanks to Natasha and Mariella for their excellent customer service! read more

Really beautiful stuff here but I'm in agreement with the other reviews noting the service or lack there of. We visit the store often and I also feel that it's so inconvenient for any of the associates to help or answer questions. In fact, they seem so annoyed and super unwilling to help. I've had just one interaction with a woman who I felt gave maybe half a $h!* but it was overshadowed by the associates who couldn't care less. I inquired about a brand they carry and the woman said they only bring in their tables. So I asked about a sofa and she said "well we can order it" and I asked if she knew what the cushion Filling was and of course, she didn't and told me again she can order it. Maybe it's just me but before spending $5-$6k on a couch I'd love to sit on it. Thanks for making me feel like the crazy one, lady. read more

House of Values treats customers they way stores used to! We had bought a recliner two years ago. The motion wasn't working anymore. It's been my favorite chair, especially during Covid. I sent Nancy an email that evening and immediately got a response the next day! She sent a man to repair the chair the next day! My favorite chair was fixed! We weren't charged! House of Values has the best prices and also the best customer service! They are a long time family owned business and a treasure to our community. I and my adult children have purchased furniture here for many years. We deeply appreciated their outstanding customer service. read more

I've been buying furniture through House of Values for years and have always been welcomed with a friendly greeting and excellent service. Nancy, Sabrina, Marisa and Natasha go above and beyond to help customers. I recently purchased bedroom furniture and a coffee table. I had a minor issue with the coffee table and Natasha contacted the manufacturer and resolved the issue quickly. I will always stop at House of Values first before purchasing furniture elsewhere. You can't beat it for price, value, and service. read more

I've been going to House of Values for over 30 years and they by far offer the best products, service and advice! Wouldn't go any place else! read more

When I emailed them, I got a fast response. And I liked being able to use their web site to access the web sites of some of the manufacturers they work with. But most of the store was not accessible to me because I use a mobility scooter and there was a step up. Also, no employee greeted me while I was there. So, I won't be buying anything from there any time soon. read more

We ordered a desk from the showroom. When we walked in we had to wait for ten minutes before anybody came out from the back to help us. The salesperson seemed annoyed that we were even inside the store. After a while we found a desk and we were told that it would take three or four weeks for delivery. After two weeks we called to confirm the delivery date. This is where the wheels fell off. The salesperson told us that the inquiry about the delivery date was too intense and got very snarky. When we called back to talk with the owner, the salesperson jumped on the line and both of them were very unprofessional. read more

We've been buying furniture from House of Values for over 20 years. They have a huge selection of furniture lines that you can choose. My husband & I are empty nesters and decided to retire our very traditional furniture and get some more comfy seating for our living room. We worked with a couple very helpful saleswomen at House of Values who helped us decide on a sectional sofa and an accompanying chaise. The furniture took a while to be made because of the supply chain. When we finally took delivery of the sofa we had completely forgotten what we had ordered. The furniture is absolutely wonderful!!! The sales staff encouraged us to buy a type of tied-spring interior for our sofa cushions. It was a great suggestion because this sofa and chaise are the most comfy things we've ever sat on. I am so grateful for the help, guidance and encouragement the sales staff gave us to find the perfect new furniture for our living room. Now we can pull on our favorite Netflix pants and binge for hours on this magnificent furniture. read more

Pretty good prices on high value beds, but truly awful service. They made it feel like answering our questions was the most inconvenient task in the world and they said they'd call us with a follow up on our options the next day and never did read more

I've been buying furniture from House of Values for about 25 years, starting with my kids' bedroom furniture. By the way, we still have that beautiful well-made Vermont Precision maple furniture! Since then we basically furnished our entire house with furniture from House of Values. The couch we had in our family room for 15 years was indestructible. We only replaced it because we moved and changed colors/styles. On the rare occasion there has been a glitch with a piece of furniture, House of Values has resolved the issue, exceeding my expectations. Period. Can't say enough good things about their business methods, staff, prices, and committment to quality. read more

Here's the deal - House of Values is not a fancy furniture store where they will hold your hand, help you make decisions, and make commission off you. We couldn't actually figure out how to enter the building because there are three separate buildings on the block, all with different types of furniture. This is how you do it at House of Values - first go to a fancy furniture store that has a gigantor showroom (we went to Giorgi Bros) - your chances of seeing more furniture in the flesh are much higher. We found the couch we wanted at Giorgi, got it priced, then went to HOV to see if we could get it cheaper....and yes, we did - $1000 cheaper! The employees at HOV are very straightforward. You want to see fabric? They'll point you to the room where there are 1,000,000 different kinds of fabric. You want to sit in couches? Go ahead. They won't hassle you, which I happen to appreciate. They are there when you have questions and will leave you alone if you want to just poke around. Since we went in knowing exactly what we wanted, we just asked for a price quote for all the pieces of the section couch we had picked out. The price came back amazingly lower than Giorgi. We picked out our fabric, got help picking out the couch legs, and voila! Done. He quoted that it would take 6-8 weeks for the couch to be delivered, and in week 4 of waiting, we got a phone call that the couch was here and we scheduled (free) delivery. 4 WEEKS EARLY! Delivery guys came in the window they promised, kindly moved our old cruddy couch into the garage for us, and plopped the new couches in our living room. If I need to buy any other furniture, I will definitely, without question, go with HOV. read more

Here's a quiz. Question: You need some new furniture and you don't want the type that: a) you buy in KMart and put together yourself b) is made from ugly unfinished tree trunks c) is basically veneered European cardboard d) costs more than your mortgage e) all of the above Did you say "e"? Alrighty then, get in your car and head over to the very unassuming storefront of House of Values on El Camino in San Mateo. A furniture-loving friend told me about this place. Bless her heart. If you want some "real" brand name furniture of any type (dining room, bedroom, upholstered, etc). they have it all. And they have the best fricken prices you will find anywhere. ANYWHERE! This place just rocks when it comes to furniture value. Here's how it works. You come in with an idea of what you want. Say, for instance a new formal dining room table and chairs. You tell the people what style and color you're looking for. They give you a bunch of manufacturer's books to look through. House of Values has a showroom and chances are they have one of the pieces you are interested in. But you don't buy the floor model. They order a new one for you. And they deliver it for FREE. It's not like Levitz, where they only sell what's on the floor. Basically if someone makes it, they can get it for you, and for less than anyone else in the entire Bay Area. For example, I went to Macy's to look for a new dining room set. I had seen this one very expensive set on the internet and asked if they could get it for me. Oh sure, the table would be $3,000. Then I called House of Values and asked about the exact same dining table. Their price was less than half of what Macy's quoted me. Shopping at House of Values is a bit of process, I admit, but in the end you save some really big bucks. The staff is very knowledgable and very helpful and patient. If you like something, they make a color xerox copy of the manufacturer's showbook page and give you a price. You may need to go there more than one time to make a final decision on your furniture, but it is worth all the time you spend. In case you are wondering how they can offer such low prices, I have the answer. They own the buildings they are in. And since they don't pay rent, they can afford to pass their low overhead savings on to you. Because really, wouldn't we all rather spend that extra $500 on a vacation than on a stupid chair? read more

My fiancé and I had been shopping for a good quality bedroom furniture set at a reasonable price. We had been to probably ten furniture stores before we found House of Values. We hit the jack pot at this place. The employees were extremely helpful and not pushy at all. They helped me identify a style, and then helped me find a furniture set in my price range. A few months after purchasing the bedroom set we had a minor issue with one of the drawers. House of Values customer service was excellent. They sent someone the next week to fix the drawer. I highly recommend House of Values. read more

The salespeople here are quite frankly super rude! The salesperson (tall, thin, white female) was super annoyed when we asked for help. The owner was trying to help, but she cut her off in front of us (customers) and was quite aggressive. I don't care if the prices are better than anywhere else! I will go to Flegel's, Macys, etc! Not OK with horrid customer service exemplified by that salesperson. read more

I love this place. Friendly service, quick to fix mistakes, large selection, and no sales pressure! The people who work here do not work on commission, so if you go in and browse and say you'll come back later, they'll let it go. The way it works may not be for some people. I was starting to despair of ever finding a set of chairs for under $100 a chair, but the salespeople here steered me in the right direction. They asked me what I wanted, and didn't even blink when I mentioned cheaper and good quality. The place is disorganized, and sometimes the salespeople can be kind of flighty, but they are pretty knowledgeable, especially if you get some of the older ones. You don't actually see the furniture you want the way you would in other furniture stores; you basically flip through catalogs until you find what you want, and have the salespeople price the stuff you've tagged. Then you decide which one you want and you tell them. There's free delivery if you purchase over $300 worth of stuff, and they deliver as far out as Pleasanton. I actually got a free delivery for my purchase because they accidentally mixed up my order with someone else. They fixed the mistake immediately, and were very apologetic about it. Also, for $5 per chair, they assembled my furniture for me. It looks good! Warning: Their website does not work in Firefox. I hope they fix that soon. read more

From my multiple experiences with House of Values, I do understand the perspective coming from some of the reviewers here. If I were to go into a typical retail store like Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn, I do have a level of expectations in terms of customer service. However, if you were to shop with HOV, you sort of have to push your sleeves up and dive in and do a lot of "customer service" for yourself. And why would you do that?? Because they do have the LOWEST price for quality brand name furniture. They are a bit unorganized, little short staffed and are always busy when I am there and often times do not greet you or help you out when you need them. But they do offer great deals and many different lines of quality furniture. If you need alot of hand holding, this may not be the place for you. However, if you know what you want and want to pay rock bottom prices for it, HOV is it. For me, I am giving HOV 5 stars because what is important to me is their quality and price, not whether they say hi to me or not. The entire staff is extremely nice and helpful...when they have the time. Oh and free shipping too. read more

"Wow!" in every sense of the word! Wow, they were insanely busy (on a Tuesday afternoon no less). Wow, yes, there were a lot of interior decorators around. Wow, they have a great selection of manufacturers. Wow, and the biggest of all the Wows, you cannot beat their prices! Yes, when you go there, you must expect to do a lot of waiting because it is busy. BUT, while waiting around, I met several decorators who were super nice and just totally willing to help me with my decorating dilemma. Yes, it does look a little sketchy from outside. Yes, it does help if you have a good idea of what you want, brands, dimensions, color schemes.....aka "be prepared!" I don't know how Nancy does it, keeping everyone happy, so many facts in her head, phone perpetually ringing, nonstop questions being thrown at her......there's no way I would last 10 minutes! I will definitely continue to shop at House of Values for all our furniture needs! read more

If you know what you want - this is the place to come. The store is run by the daughter and the father is there to help...but everyone who works there are very nice and friendly, you just need to catch them when they are not busy. You can shop their showroom or you can shop from the massive selection of catalogs. If you are looking for a bed, be specific if you can on style and materials. They will give you all the applicable catalogs and you can browse...when you find the ones you like, they'll get you the prices and answer any questions you may have. We got our chair and a half with ottoman and our large handpainted armoire here - both pieces get compliments all the time. We love our chair and a half - just slightly smaller than a love seat but still large enough to snuggle in with hubby. Once you have selected the style, you'll get to pick the fabric of your choice. read more

I've furnished two apartments at House of Values, and have been very satisfied with the price, quality, friendly staff and delivery service. Nancy and Kim have each helped me find excellent furniture with custom leather, fabric and details. They even diagrammed my rooms to make sure everything would fit comfortably allowing me to confidently buy pieces large enough to fit my rooms and suit my comfort. They have also saved me thousands of dollars. I will be returning soon to buy a few things I held off on before my move. Pro tip: Go in on a weekday if you can. Saturdays are very busy here. If you do go on Saturday, plan to be there for a while and just generally chill out. read more

House of Values - What an awesome bed, thanks House of Values! - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Mateo, California

Bought a new recliner from this place because their pricing is probably the best around the Bay Area. However, their after-sales service have been horrible. There is an issue with the leather of my recliner that has not been addressed for months since we took delivery. I have numerous voicemail and email records of promises from Nancy saying she would make it her personal business to get it fixed. But, here we are without a single effort to resolve the issue still. Unless you can deal with problems on your own, I would shop elsewhere if price is not the only decision factor. read more

I've been shopping H of V for the last 15 years and the service I receive from everyone is top notch. Especially from Sabrina. She knows her stuff. Ok people this is NOT a store with a huge internet website. It would be virtually impossible to access all of the furniture they have available. Do your homework by shopping around gathering information on make and model. Take that info to House of Values to see if they handle that line. If they do. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

House of Values - One of my latest amazing buys!! - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Mateo, California

I purchase 3 sofas from House of Values and I paid $8389.31. 2 sofas are model 2081-20 which the fabric is pilling terribly and balling out. The cushions feel like very old, sinking and it doesn't fit the frames. The fabric twists all the time. The cushions have a space in between and makes it very uncomfortable to seat. The 3rd sofa I bought is 2053-29 queen sleeper. I have the same issues plus the seating area is too short and very uncomfortable to relax. The reason I purchase Hunting Sofa because I already have two sofas exact model and still works like a champ after17 years. I use my old sofas in my family room and don't have any issues. I use the new sofas in my living room and we barely use it and still I have issues. I guess the Huntington House Changed the materials and they don't have good quality anymore. I just email the store hopefully they can fix it because it's less than a year I bought it. read more

Bought our sectional here about 14 years ago and it's still going strong, made it through 2 dogs, baby showers, birthday parties, Girl Scout troop meetings and numerous other events. The cushions are still firm ( no sagging or tears) and people still comment about the couch being a perfect nap spot. We're moving to a new house and I've looked into purchasing a new couch, more because I want a change and style and color and I've actually had friends protest and then argue over who gets it. Not sure I'll be able to part with it, but if I do, I'll be coming back here for the second couch. PS - I forgot to mention that the first week we purchased the couch my new puppy chewed a 12 inch hole into the chaise side of the couch. They were so nice and repaired it at a minimal cost. 14 years later you still can't see the repair to the foam seating. read more
