This is a reliable little furniture spot if you're working on a tight budget. I got my bed here,…read more(with boxspring and frame) for about $100. The bed is nothing to write home about but it beats sleeping on the floor, (or risking bed bugs with something second hand). I also got a dresser here. I think it was $80. The thing works great - fun assembly project and the guys helped carry it up my 3 flights of stairs. Also, these guys are always cranking out the jams through a couple sidewalk speakers. I love that - it's your standard top 40 adult contemporary stuff but it sounds so much better when it's coming out of a furniture store on Myrtle Ave that regards itself as an empire. That makes sense, doesn't it? Hit up the ATM before you go, there is a fee for paying by card.

I commissioned a dining table to be refashioned from a client's pre-existing slab of redwood that…read morehad resembled something from the set of the Flintstone's. It was massive but clunky and finished with inches of thick epoxy resin. The client thought it was a lost cause and questioned tossing it. I contacted RE-CO BKLYN after watching a video posted on several social media sites and knew their mission and business ethics would appeal to my client's eco aesthetic & consciousness. (full disclosure, I know co-owner Roger Benton socially.) After an initial onsite consultation which Roger answered and assuaged my client's curiosity about the process and project we scheduled a pick up for the massive hunk of wood which was carried up 3 flights of a narrow staircase by Roger & his partner. Several weeks later and my client is overwhelmed and in love with this "new" dining table. The entire floor plan of the apartment has been re-arranged to showcase the gorgeous table. It is sleek, sophisticated and stunning. What impressed me the most was the tactile quality of the finish. It is the softest, most buttery wood surface I've ever touched. You can feel the passion and professionalism in the product. My only hope is to find another interior project in which I can work with RECO-BKLYN again.

A few weeks later I had the table top finished and looking amazing. One of the members from the team came over and helped with delivery and install, which was a big help. Even went to the hardware store to get the proper hardware for the install. I couldn't be happier with how the whole process went from start to finish. Everyone who comes over to the apartment immediately runs their hand over the smooth finish and asks where I got it. Not to mention the table has been through some accidents. Including wine glasses spilled and no stains at all. Completely satisfied :) Thanks

Stop! If you're looking for furniture, you've got to read this one... Do you need a sofa and you…read morehave no idea where to begin? Are you apprehensive because product photos never live up to expectations? Have you ever ordered furniture with promised 3 month delivery time but it really took 6 months? Sure, you can pick up cheap crap at IKEA on the fly but you're an adult now and you deserve quality. Welcome to Brooklyn City Furniture. We live in era where big box store chains and the likes of Amazon and Wayfair are putting independents out of business. Brooklyn City Furniture is bravely putting up a fight against this commercial crass. They are a throwback, a typical small footprint store jam packed with a well curated and eclectic mix of furniture and accessories. Still, you ask, "How are they better?" The owner of Brooklyn City Furniture is John, a casual guy who can be formal if required but hits his stride with laughter and ease, and he has a discerning eye too. He knows great art and he knows great furniture. John sources his inventory from stellar furniture makers such a Gus Modern and Foundry. Where in NYC can you go to a furniture store and the owner is there to help you? Find something you like and John might be able to sell it to you with ssshhh... our secret, a 15% discount. John isn't looking to rip you off. He sells great furniture at a great price. Wow, what a concept. Oh, it gets better. John's partner in crime, Agnes, knows all. She will help you with fabrics, pricing, and logistics. Ask John a question and Agnes hears every word. She'll even crack the whip when needed. It's a hoot to behold and worth the price of admission. Never has buying furniture been so much fun. At Brooklyn City Furniture it's John and Agnes. That's it. They are a perfect duo. One thing's for sure, you won't get this level of service at Crate & Barrel. Then came delivery day, of the beautiful Gus Modern Wallace 84" top-grain leather sofa. John and his very kind helper, Michael, showed up on the day and time they said they would. Since when does the store owner personally hand deliver their own goods? There was constant communication between John and I and he arrived in a gorgeous delivery truck... yes, it really is gorgeous. The sofa was triple bubble wrapped and taped. I was gobsmacked. My worries about the sofa being dropped on concrete or the leather being scraped on a wall, vanished. John and Michael wheeled the sofa up to my apartment, centered it along my living room wall, removed the bubble wrap and, voilà, my boring white living room turned into Versailles. I enjoyed John and Michael so much. Afterwards, we had a nice visit complete with the requisite selfies. Never was buying a piece of furniture this easy and painless. I've got a quality sofa at a great price and I made friends along the way. Stay tuned guys, I'm bringing you donuts this week so we can keep the party going. Five stars? Chh. I give Brooklyn City Furniture all the stars in the Milky Way. Thank you... oh, and the cat thanks you too!

I can't believe I'm posting about a mattress store but here goes. Everyone knows buying a mattress…read moreis difficult. Brands and models are confusing not to mention rarely comparable between stores. Prices fluctuate from inexpensive enough to wonder what's wrong to expensive enough to consider skipping meals for several months to afford. Mattress Firm is better than most but Peter at the Ridgewood store is AMAZING. He calmly, politely and expertly helped my daughter replace her recently purchased mattress with one better suited to her sleeping habits and comfort level without breaking my credit card on the change fees and price. (Nothing against the original sales person at same store, this was my daughter's first bed purchase for her first apartment straight outta school and it just didn't work out after a few weeks.) Peter helped us in one language while also guiding a newly hired colleague on processes and engaging her clients in another language. Realizing my daughter was new to the area, he also suggested a few places to eat and shop for household basics.

BAIT AND SWITCH!! I was in need of a mattress, to be delivered to an address less than two miles…read morefrom this location; hence, why I chose this store. As I was 1800 miles away, I made it very clear to the sales person on the phone that I needed to know the models in the warehouse that could be delivered. Of course the model I chose wasn't "immediately" available, so "coincidentally" a model that cost $500 more was....so he said. He was emphatic that I had to complete the order by 2PM EST, so I interrupted my day for 45 minutes while we "finished" the transaction over the phone. This included his sending me a payment link at least twice, both of which did not work. Finally, after holding up two other people so I could complete the transaction verbally, he assured me it would be delivered the next day. When I called to ask if a delivery window had been determined, I was told that the mattress was not on the truck and wasn't in the warehouse....as in it had never been there to begin with. CHRIS VALENTIN was the person who answered the call about my delivery, gave me the honest story about availability/delivery, and gave me a discount for being duped and lied to regarding the mattress, understanding that I had nothing to sleep on until three days later. Does this store manager condone salespeople lying to customers just to make a sale? Is this part of the sales training? I'm grateful to Chris for stepping in and finding a resolution, though he couldn't get the mattress to me when I needed it. I cannot blame him for that since it was not of his making.

Seriously she should not be in this role. Secondly, I demand compensation for the delay. I have no sofa for 5 months because of your delays, and I deserve money back on this order. 1) I was NEVER notified of these excessive delays on my order. 2) There has been a HUGE lack of service since the minute you first reached out to me to approve the swatch. 3) Lorraine has not once apologized for the delay nor offered ANY explanation of why something I paid THOUSANDS of dollars for WEEKS AGO is going to be delayed by 5 months. 4) I reached out to Lorraine THREE times asking for an ETA over the last 3 weeks and I only yesterday heard back. 5) Instead of offering a solution & compensation for the delay & the lack of service, Lorraine has been being extremely rude to me AGAIN and careless about keeping me as a customer. Scroll through this thread and you'll see that multiple times she has told me to cancel my order. WHO DOES THAT???

To my left,…read morethe most incomprehensibly jumbled pile of chairs, dressers, shelves, and broken nonsense stood stacked on top of a bookshelf that I had seen days ago as I was looking for some quality used goods to put in my new apartment. "Do you need help?" "Yes, but it's under there!" as I pointed into the depths. "No problem!" Two guys leaped into the pile as I, wide-eyed, watched them toss things back and forth uncovering my $20 item in all of 3 minutes. They even carried it to my place down the road for me. (You can see this for yourself, actually: http://www.goodbyewren.com/2009/06/shopping-is-hard.html) I got a NEW full-sized mattress for $75. Plus a bunch of other little dressers for $20 apiece. This is old, used stuff, and not special antiques (though I did see a few nice old pieces), but it's mostly consumer grade goods. Still, if it comes down to buying a new particle-board dresser from K Mart for $60 or a used one of the same stature from here for $20, I think the answer is obvious.
