Hedi's is a hidden treasure in the Chestnut Hill Mall. My husband and I needed a new couch and…read moreloveseat. We ended up with a sectional and new family room set, including area rug and cocktail table (and even some decor items). The owner was VERY patient with us, and took the time to explain all the different upholstery and throw pillow options, as well as working with a color scheme to complement the room. He made suggestions and guided us, while accommodating our needs and preferences. Delivery and installation went smoothly. Even after purchase, the owner was willing to answer new questions we had. An added bonus is supporting a locally owned business, instead of a private equity-backed chain which may or may not be around tomorrow (see: Mitchell+Gold). Overall, I was very satisfied with my first shopping experience at Hedi's, I hope to make other furniture purchases from them in the future.

Where would my husband and I be without the MIT Furniture Exchange? Furniture-less, is the answer!…read moreThis is such an amazing resource for students. Since my husband and I moved to Cambridge five and a half years ago for his graduate program, we've acquired almost all of our furniture here - everything from a leather couch and armchair set in excellent condition for a reasonable $600 to a gorgeous Crate and Barrel kitchen table for a mere $40. We've also purchased bookshelves, end tables, lamps, desks, and more. Obviously by virtue of fact that the furniture is by donation, there are always going to be some ugly or low-quality items to weed through, but I'd say it's well worth the time. As has been noted, the hours are very limited: currently Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. If possible, I'd strongly recommend arriving promptly at 10, especially on Saturdays: within 15 to 30 minutes of opening, often much of the best inventory has already been claimed.

I put in my order and two hours later I received a phone call asking if I would like the item dropped off that same night. It was here in under an hour.

I would absolutely recommend these guys.

BEWARE! If there are any mistakes it will be your problem to resolve! They have ZERO customer…read moreservice and from what I've read this is the norm. I wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing. Mistakes happen and this is when a business shows it's true colors! Simply communicate and resolve the issue and everyone is happy. This is where Bassett fails! My entire furniture order was delayed because a rug pad was delivered to the wrong warehouse. I only found this out because I went to the store to check on my order. Delivery was finally scheduled, but no rug pad was delivered, and they delivered the wrong rug. This is where it where it went down hill. The delivery drivers left the wrong rug so I'd have something on the floor (by they way, the delivery guys were awesome!), and I was told by Bassett they would locate my rug and have it delivered to me. Fast forward three weeks, and ZERO communication from Bassett. This is not a custom rug and if they couldn't locate my missing rug they should have been able to send me a new one. But no, they did nothing so I finally asked that they cancel the rug and refund my money. No problem but I couldn't get my refund until their mistake rug was picked up. Again, you think no problem, but the shipping/scheduling people aren't responsive, trained, or interested in helping. So I wait and now I'm told I need to be available for a four hour window, so Bassett can fix their mistake. I did that, gave up three hours of my saturday, and no one showed up. To make matters worse, the shipping/scheduling people NEVER communicated as to why they never showed up, NEVER apologized and NEVER attempted to reschedule. So I called the Chestnut Hill store and spoke to Mikaela, the manager. She gave the party line and said she'd help to get the pick up arranged. I asked for an early morning appointment so I wouldn't have to wait around all day and when they didn't have anything available for over a week, I said I'd do my best to be flexible so they could pick up sooner and do you know what the manager said, she said "that means I have to call Aisha (shipping) again". You can't make this stuff up! They finally came to pick up the rug, I signed the form saying the rug was picked up and my money would be refunded. But guess what, a week later, NO REFUND! The store manager said it was once again my responsibility to resolve their problem and I needed to contact the store again in order to get my refund. This is INSANE! The customer service has been absolutely awful, I will say the designer I worked with in the store was great, as well as the delivery guys. I'm hoping the store manager is just new, because she not only didn't do anything, she didn't care about resolving the problem. This did not have to be a bad experience. I completely understand that mistakes happen and I have no problem waiting for a resolution. However in this case, they made no effort to resolve their mistake, provided NO communication, and made me responsible for resolving their mistake in order to get my refund. Still waiting for my refund including delivery, installation, and three year protection plan. Stay tuned!

I had a wonderful time working with Irina in this store -- I spent many hours with her working out…read morethe details of my new furniture and she was wonderful -- she gets 10 stars. My issue comes into play after I placed my order. I moved from Boston to Tampa, Florida. I have a dog who is epileptic. I made it quite clear that I NEEDED my furniture delivered on or as close to October 15 as possible before I brought my dog down to my new home because I didn't want him to get over-excited. Because I needed this to happen, I placed my order in AUGUST, giving the company PLENTY of time to get my items to me. I also said that I couldn't take delivery of anything before October 15. The company delivered two rugs to the apartment before it was mine, a week before I moved in. When I arrived in Florida in October, I had to contact Bassett because no one had reached out to me about delivering my sofa. I was told that they only deliver to my area once a month and I missed the delivery by a few days. They told me I'd get my furniture on Nov. 26. After I explained my situation, the woman called me back the next day and said they could do Oct. 29. I had no choice but to accept this. I have since called the corporate offices at Bassett FOUR times over the past FIVE weeks and NO ONE has called me back despite promising to "escalate" my issue. Their customer service is absolutely HORRIBLE and I will NEVER shop there again because of it.

How lucky are we to have this fabulous family owned business near our home!…read moreOur first project with them was to recover all our dining room chairs. We brought photos of the room, the rug, etc...and they were so helpful in choosing a fabric that brightened up the room! Our second recent project was an 1800's Victorian Corner Chair that was in the attic for years. I emailed Barry photos and he emailed right back with suggestions (to not refinish the wood as to keep the original patina) and a quote. We brought in the chair and Toni brought out various samples to choose from. The orignial silk was a teal/blue and she assisted us in finding a beautiful fabric. The chair was polished and looks just gorgeous. This family has the knowledge, the eye and the professionalism you need! And they are very responsive and super friendly. Before and after photos of both projects are below. BTW the photos don't do them justice. We are anticipating another project...soon! Thank you to Barry, Toni and the entire family!
