I bought a desk and an unfinished bookcase from Bostonwood Furniture and am extremely satisfied…read more This was my first time purchasing nicer furniture (I was on a grad school budget until recently!) and the experience was great. I currently live in New York City, but I knew I wanted to go with a New England based business since Maine is home for me. I know there are a lot of New England based furniture shops to choose from, but Bostonwood seemed to offer the best value. The sales and delivery staff were all helpful, professional, and friendly. They even finished and delivered my order a little sooner than quoted. The desk is particularly beautiful and feels sturdy and well-built. The unfinished bookcase is just what I was expecting, and is a huge step up from the discount ones I used to buy back in grad school. I'll certainly return to Bostonwood in the future to replace the rest of my silly grad-school-budget particle board furniture!!

Great custom work!!! We have worked with Bostonwood before…read moremaking a peice of furniture for us and were really pleased, so when we decided to add some 'built-ins' to a new addition that we just finished, it was an automatic option that we wanted to check out. Originally I was planning to build everything myself, but after completing a few of the cabinets, I realized that I really didn't have professional finishing capabilities (specifically painting) that we wanted and that it was going to take me way longer than I originally planned, so we took our design to Bostonwood to get a quote. We worked with Mike in the Bedford store. On our first visit, we discussed the project, which involved 2 components (a library wall and wall-to-wall desk) and included some of the custom elements that I wanted to make sure were included in the build. After discussing everything in detail he came back with a quote that was extremely competitive!!!. At the beginning of the process, they delivered a set of CAD drawings and renderings that showed the proposed finished cabinets. They provided us several different color rendering, which helped us visualize even better the finish prooject so we could make the final finish decision. I also asked them to provide a second set of drawings with CAD measurements and details so I could verify the measurements and construction (which they gladly did). We made a few alterations based on the these. The build took a few weeks, during which Mike reached out and kept us informed of the progress. He also took a couple of last minute changes that I realized would be required (fortunately I realized these before they had cut anything) When the product was delivered, the team was extremely polite and brought the peices directly into the new addition space, helping me get them into place. As they were bringing them in, I noticed a small change that required them to take the peices back to the shop, which they were more than happy to do. In the end, when they were re-delivered, we were SO pleased and with them installed are very happy with the finish look they give to this area in our home. They are already in full use and being enjoyed. I would highly recommend them and fully expect to visit their store for our next project.

We love this place. Everything is wood. Prices are good. Nice person, he has great hair.read more

Don't go here. I ordered in late May or early June and didn't get my bookcase until the end of…read moreOctober. There was always an excuse for the delay, probably valid -- a factory shut down, they painted it black, whatnot. But we always had to call them to ask -- no one ever reached out to us to say "there's a delay, here's why." What's more, they charged more for fixed shelves instead of moveable ones and when it finally arrived, it's got a wobble. I went on the mistaken assumption that this was the sister store to Boston Wood in Watertown. I will be going to Boston Wood instead of this place in the future.

The MIT FX only sells to patrons with university affiliation in the greater Boston area. Customers must show a valid university ID in order to make a purchase. I only arrived in the city a few days ago and have not picked up my new ID, but Julie was SUPER nice and helpful, allowing to show her my university email address on my iPhone as proof. There are a few new items available (all mattresses are NEW - they don't accept used ones), so I picked up a brand new full-sized futon frame AND mattress for $225. Then, I came away with some good buys on used stuff too: small wooden dining table and four chairs ($75), a not too obnoxiously floral sofa ($50), a small wooden coffee table ($15), and a broad wooden desk ($40). I also picked up misc. items like plates, toaster, lamp, plastic drawers, etc. for real cheap as well as couple of things on the house since I was making a huge purchase. Inventory, of course, changes all the time. You can find stuff for all rooms in your house. The store is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as 1st Saturdays, and during the peak move-in month, August, a few more Saturdays. They have a good relationship with Your Move Inc. for deliveries where you'll pay $60/hour instead of the moving company's normal $100/hour. Only complaint is that the FX is NOT a ten minute walk from the Red Line, as the website suggests. Just take the 47 down from the T, and you'll be better off than walking 15-20 minutes down from Central Square. I will totally return for random stuff here again. Thanks!

More like 3.5 stars, but I really wanted to like this place, so I'll be generous in my rating. The…read moreplace seemed more like a cluttered interior design office than a retail location. The merchandise was unique to a lot of other places, but seemed a bit repetitive: little gorgeous purple finger bowls and lots of animal-skin throws and rugs; plus all the nice but spendy furniture, and a listening station for CDs that reminded me of those Puttomayo CD stands you could find at the old Nature Company stores.

After all I had read about Diseno, I was hoping for big things. Big things. Sadly, I was…read moredisappointed. I was looking forward to all kinds of goodies from South America, but the boutique fell a little short. Most of the store is filled with leather chairs and animal throws. Which is fine, if you're desperate to fill your home with either of those things. But I couldn't imagine buying cowskin (or whatever it was) to throw on my walls... The vases and other decor was pretty cool, but there just wasn't enough of that stuff for my liking. I'd had loved to see more rugs, but just not of the animal print kind. And I did like the shawls and some of the handbags, but my favorite was the music. Really cool tunes were playing and they have a great setup/listening station for those wishing to check out the other artists/cd's they have. Lastly, the location. Obviously they can't help it, but they're right across from the Pine Street Inn, which may hurt their customer flow. I'll definitely pop in there again, I'm always in that part of the South End, and I hope they vary their selection around a bit.
