Introduction (SERVICE): I have done business with Scandinavian Design Gallery and their owner Teresa for decades. I am not an easy client and like most married couples, my wife and I don't always agree. This makes working with us no walk in the park. I have ALWAYS felt heard, I have always been treated with professionalism, I have always felt whether I have purchased or not, wanting to come back and shop again. Selection: You can't talk about selection without also talking about quality of merchandise. There are only a few furniture retailers in Birmingham that are worth shopping at if what you want is excellent quality. Scandinavian Design has that quality. Don't get me wrong, if you have a lower budget, they have excellent selection also. But if what you want is something that will last and look great for decades, you are in the right place. Like most great furniture stores, some items can be purchased off the floor and others have to be ordered. Either way, you always get what you want. Value: Everyone looks at value differently. The best way to express why I think Scandinavian Design is a GREAT value is to explain what I just purchased. We were looking for a bedframe for a new high-end mattress we just purchased. We looked online like everyone else and none of what I say hit me. I could by cheap and get the job done. At this stage in my life, I want quality and service. So we went to Scandinavian Design. I walked the store as I always have "Lusting" for the Stressless Couch I always wanted, and my wife won't let me purchase. There in the back was a Zero Gravity, Massage, automated pedestal with ALL the bells and whistles. The mattress on it was a Tempa Petic which is also VERY High End. The sales associate hit the Massage Button on the wireless remote and the decision was made instantly. I asked for the price and to have my wife join me. The price was reasonable, part of that is Teresa and staff are always fair. I also believe we should always buy in the town we live it. That is were the personalized service is the best. When I went home, I did my normal research and found that unit had a better model. I called Teresa and asked if they sold the "Top-Of-The-Line" model in that brand. She said yes, I said can you sell me that and just charge me more. She said of course. Folks, if you read my Yelp and Google Reviews. I am not always as kind as I am here. I am ALWAYS honest and always consider being accurate as my strength. Teresa, her staff and her business is the "Best of the Best". Just my two cents. read more

I was the 25th customer when Scandinavian Design Gallery first opened its doors and I have furnished several houses since that time. I still have many of the items purchased over the 30+ years (some let go because of moving) so that speaks to the quality sold there. In addition to the stores's fabulous inventory, the customer gets one-on-one design services from its professional decorators at no extra cost. I've worked with Theresa over the years and she knows my style. She remembers what I have purchased and recommends things that work with what I already have. Another service they offer is their furniture delivery. They don't call it "white glove delivery" but that is what it is. The bottom line is everyone connected to the store really cares. I would describe this store as an affordable luxury contemporary store with unique items. It is a valuable resource and I don't know what I would do if it was not here. read more

Amazing furniture for a reasonable price. Not some crazy designer brands like Ligne Roset ($10K for a sofa) and not an Ashley Furniture level trash. They sell great looking solid quality things from all over the world (Scandinavian too, but now it is just a name). A year ago we've ordered a perfect Canadian couch that has proper balance between seat softness and ergonomics (it was about $1000). Still looks like new. Today we have bought Calligaris chairs (that specific model was on sale, so I've taken all they had) and ordered a king size bed. And most likely I'll come here for my next furniture purchase. read more
