A Litchfield County hidden gem is The Rustic Country Barn on route 202 in New Milford. The place…read morehas been open a little over five years now and to be honest, although I drive by it several times a day, I didn't give it much thought. Litchfield County is kind of a Mecca for antique shops and old furniture stores. So on what should have been another glance as I whizzed by (observing the speed limit of course) was rudely interrupted by my wife's suggestion that we stop in and take a look. (hear my sigh) Fine I mumble. As we entire the store I am pleasantly surprised. It's filled with all the kind of furniture I always imagined I would build myself in my own workshop someday. But as my wife will quickly point out, you can't sit on someday. About a minute into the place my wife gives me the look. You know the look I'm talking about guys, the "this is a beautiful thing and you know I'm worth it" look. Once this happens and I come to the realization that were probably not going home empty handed there's only one thing left to do; make sure my input is dooly noted and prepare to limit the damage to our budget. As I'm cruising around the store the first thing that catches my eye is this very cool rustic looking pub table. As I belly up to kick the proverbial tires I can't help but say, "Honey, I could totally build this in my workshop!" Out of the corner of my eye I see my wife staring at the floor and shaking her head. She didn't say it out loud, but deep down I knew she was right. So with dignity still intact I decide to run this pub table through the paces. For those of you that know me, petite is not a word that most people would use to describe me. So when I reluctantly enter a typical big name furniture store filled with imported poorly made junk I always rate the quality based on one thing. What is the shimmy factor? When I sit down, how bad does it shimmy? If you're a big guy like me, you know what I mean. Back at the pub table I begin by kicking the first tire; the old grab the top on both sides and give it a shake followed by a feeble attempt to lift it off the ground. Table feels solid and vertical lift was negligible. Check! Next comes the big one. The old hop up on the stool and check the shimmy factor. Whoa, no shimmy! I even tried my rendition of the bar stool boogie and she held her ground. Impressive! Now for one final test; the old, "I've have 9 beers and it's time to let the table hold me up" test. I lean in and give the pub table everything I've got. Folks, we have a winner! The table didn't give a bit. As I walk through the rest of the store and barn, I find these qualities to hold true everywhere I turn. Bottom line, it's clear to me that the motto of The Rustic Country Barn, "Quality American made furniture that will last for generations" are not hollow words. I highly recommend a visit.

I was torn between 3 or 4 stars for RCB. I discovered them on Facebook and love everything I see. I…read morehave not been to the physical store yet but I have explored their website a few times. I was prompted by a video on their Facebook page for barn stars. I was inspired by the video to get one for my parents barn back in Ohio but after going through all the steps to buy one I was shocked at the shipping cost. It was as much as the barn star! I still want to get one but I'm going to wait until I have time to just buy it at the store. Now I'm not one to give up so I saw another post on FB for these cute drink holders so I went to the website to get a better look and as cute as they were they were like $24 for a little metal drink holder! They do have a lot of beautiful barn wood furniture on the website and I could see a few of these items in my home but clearly I'll need to save up. I'm going to stop in soon and I'll update my review then.

Everyone here demonstrates their knowledge and acts as a complete professional. They're warm, kind, fun, and the store is pet-friendly. We've picked paint for our house from here. They also have an adjoining gardening shop where we got pumps for our basketballs and my bike. They also can get plywood or other building materials because they work with contractors, and they will candidly recommend whether you need to go somewhere else to get a part you need--which has only happened once to me in my experience; they just didn't have it in stock at the time, but they wanted me to fix my machine that day. 10 / 10

The owners are very knowledgeable and even on their by-appointment days, if you call ahead with a specific need, they'll make sure to help you with your request. I am not allowing myself to buy too much else or I'd spend far too much time in the other side of the shop--if you're looking for one-of-a-kind items for your house or refinished/renewed furniture, though, that's something to definitely check out.

I finally decided to "splurge" on a pair of genuine Stickley chairs and it has been a disaster…read more First of all, the delivery charge for 2 living room chairs was nearly $400. Well, I thought, it's Stickley they will be top notch service. NOPE. The movers are just some random subcontractors. I was told that they will not take away the old chairs or even move the old chairs out of the way. As a retiree this was unpleasant but I managed. Then my $4K each chairs arrived and one is crooked! The lower seat cushion is not even close to level. The quality is terrible. I called them to address the issue and my appointment is 2 weeks away. My old chairs are gone and the new one hurts my back. They refused to replace it and are sending a "furniture technician" to look at it. It seems unlikely a field service rep can "fix" a chair that was built wrong so after I wait 2 weeks I fully expect to wait even longer for the replacement. It's sad to see such a premium company turn in to some sort of grift milking their once-solid reputation like this. I won't be going back. I suggest you look elsewhere.

I was working with a local hospital client who wanted to purchase many items for their patient rooms. I worked with someone I had worked alongside of for many years. Once the order was prepared, quoted and sent for review and approval by my client the store manager decided to finally do her job and verify the competitors price. Although they sent us orders they changed the pricing once they found out their competitors price was higher. I should have taken the order to Safaveih then but my allegiance to my former coworker made me stay. Big mistake. We were told we had to rush a check to them by end of the next day because they confirmed stock was available for the items we were ordering so delivery would be quick. We are not at 10+ weeks and every time I call for status I am told the items are in and being assembled. Now two weeks have gone by and today I was told they have not even started assembly. Yet they had the nerve to request the COD balance from my client. What nerve to ask for payment in advance of even scheduling delivery. Now I know why I quit working for this family owned company. The only people they care about is themselves. Note to self (and you resting this review) stay away from this store.
