After reading all these reviews, I was a bit skeptical of this shop, but we needed lanai loungers…read more We ended up buying two beautiful rattan chairs with ottomans covered in Regal's Honolulu Sunset fabric. We enjoyed talking to Isaac (who is a character) and Natasha was gracious. Many people come to Hawai'i expecting to purchase furniture like they do on the mainland, but it's different here. The island relies on shipping barges so we need to practice Aloha and be patient. Small business owners are often between a rock and a hard place (esp with looming tariffs) nowadays with sky-high rent and demanding customers who are also tense. At Island Collections, you won't find a better selection of rattan furniture on the Big Island, especially at this price. Isaac communicates very directly and I appreciate that quality.

Take notice of the recent reviews. Do you see a pattern? We…read morebought a king mattress in 2021 and the service was Ok. Then in July of '24 we ordered a mango bedroom set and was told to expect delivery in September. That didn't happen until January of '25. We weren't too happy about that. We bought a living room set a couple months ago and as usual, we had to wait a few days, until Wednesday to pick it up. There's nothing like having to make extra trips to get what you want. We looked at a couple bar stools on Sunday and, again, were told we couldn't pick them up until Wed. As we were exploring other options, we waited until Wednesday and decided to make the purchase, thinking it would be a cash and carry transaction. No such luck. No same day pick up. What the f#&%! They'll take your $$ bu you gotta make an additional trip to actually get what you paid for. If I wanted lousy service, I'd've gone to Koloko Furniture. Oh that's right, They're out of business. That's what you get when you do business with a big city operator.

My husband & I visited this store about 4 months ago. we were looking for living room furniture but…read morenot yet ready to buy. we were impressed with the great selection they had as well as the prices. fast forward to several weeks ago. We were finally ready to buy And had gone to another local furniture store. Not seeing what we liked or could afford, we headed to The Minds Eye and were greeted with a smile by Rachel Sherman. We explained what we were looking for as well as our needs In both style & quality. Rachel made numerous suggestions & we were able to find just what we wanted. We were able to make arrangements to have a furpture delivery based on when we sell our current furnitur there was no problem getting our furniture as all of it was in stock in their warehouse in Kona. We sold our rattan furniture quickly & the furniture was delivered 5 days later. Great service, beautiful furniture. We will be going there again when we are ready to redo the next room.

I had a very negative experience with Big Island Living and would caution doing business with this…read morebusiness and owner, Courtney. About a month ago, I ordered two furniture pieces and paid a 50% deposit, with the understanding I would pay the remaining balance when the items arrived. While I was in the store, I witnessed another customer ask about a kamaʻāina discount and paying cash to avoid taxes, and the salesperson agreed. I then asked if I could do the same. The salesperson told me that with a Hawaiʻi driver's license, I qualified for a kamaʻāina discount. The salesperson offered to refund my deposit so I could pay cash after the discount was applied when the furniture arrived, and I agreed. Later, I was contacted by the owner (Courtney), who told me they do not offer a kamaʻāina discount and that paying cash was the "discount." That is not what was explained to me in-store. When I asked that the agreement made by their salesperson be honored, it was refused. Instead, I was repeatedly told that the kamaʻāina discount (which they dont offer!!) referred to tax savings, which was never how it had been presented at the time of purchase. I questioned why I needed a Hawaii Drivers License then? Anyone can pay cash! During that call, Courtney ended the conversation after stating she would not honor what had been communicated in-store and had nothing further to discuss. Because of how this situation was handled, I chose not to move forward with the transaction. Potential customers should be wary of what felt like bait-and-switch terms and unethical business practices. What is communicated at the point of sale may not be what is ultimately honored. This experience felt misleading, reflected poor business practices, and completely eroded my trust.
