My order # 1131935 placed on 03/14/23, has not arrived, a WilcoSide Table in yellow. Calling customer service is a joke.

www.advancedinteriordesigns.com Purchased a beautiful Alphaville Designs Exposition Chair (Superior Whiskey aniline leather) VERY EARLY THIS MORNING (i.e., 1:00 a.m.) for an amazing price less than $1,000 (before CA tax) and took delivery in Los Angeles only 12 hours later. Product was as described, good quality of craftmanship and beautiful leather. There is no question that I will do business with this company without reservation. Amazing high end customer service....Thanks Good Luck, J. read more

You could buy the Eames Aluminum Management Chair at $1,890 at Design Within Reach. Or, you could buy the EXACT SAME CHAIR at Advanced Interior Designs for $1,500+ less. Compare dwr.com and advancedinteriordesigns.com and see for yourself. True, at Advanced Interior Designs you "only" have the choice of red, white, black, brown or lime green in this particular chair (low back, with pneumatic adjustment, in top grain leather) rather than DWR where you can buy it in powder blue or brick red and about 25 other colors. But if you're like me and embrace both good design and classic color and cringe at paying another $1,500+ then go to Advanced Interior Designs. Next, I'm going to buy a desk and I have one already picked out. Located in a small storefront just past McAllister on Gough (if you pass the alley Ash Street you've gone too far) blink and you'll miss it. Ask for George. read more

Update from my last review; I made a third purchase from them and couldn't be happier! The customer service was beyond. The owner even came out to make sure the chairs were properly put into my car. Such a nice guy. Happy I gave him my business! The chairs are gorgeous in my dining room. Excellent quality for a repro. Saw the exact same chair at HD Buttercup in Culver City for almost triple what I paid!Needless to say I'm a happy customer. I attached a pictures. read more

I am giving this review NOT JUST FOR THE FURNITURE ...BUT... for the group of extraordinary people working for this company in Los Angeles...and especially for Jasmine and Lily. I am an interior designer who just started a staging business.. ( For verification purposes..its called Modiano Design on yelp)...and by all means my small purchases probably mean nothing to the amount of sales they must be making per month...but every time I walk in their warehouse/office, I feel like the most important person on earth. The furniture is awesome, looks great and fits in my client's style, and there is always great open box and off the floor deals !! These ladies are always friendly and answer my "sometimes crazy" questions. I will be keep coming back here, but not just because of the furniture but also the great costumer service and the attention I receive every time ! Please note that EVERYONE else in that office has been awesome, and even though I did not get to know all names...I don't know where they find this awesome staff. Their prices are comparable to others...but if you are looking for a bargain, go for the floor models and open boxes..and you can find some amazing deals. read more

Advanced Interior Designs - Nelson bench ( used as a coffee table) was purchased through the LA office/warehouse. - Furniture Stores Near Me

Quick word of warning, we went to the website and decided it would be worth a trip not the smoke to try out some of the furniture. Roughly 80miles each way so we were excited. Anyhow it turns out the store is more a hole in the wall distribution center than a showroom which was really disappointing. I would say it's not their fault but mine for assuming it would be more of a showroom so this review is solely to prepare anyone in case you are heading there.. read more

I had a couple issues with some chairs I bought but Jasmine sorted out the problem, and then some. Really good customer service! great in fact! Jasmine may be the nicest person I've ever encountered in a retail environment, on or off-line. She probably cares more about costumer satisfaction than any other small business owner I've had the pleasure to meet. BLOWN away by their service. I wholeheartedly recommend them for two reasons 1) They truly care about us, as customers. Seriously, I couldn't possibly be made to feel more special, and that my small transaction was of up-most importance to their company. 2) Superb Products- any defect is dealt with both rapidly and smoothly-trust me on this one, amazing. As one yelper said, at less than half the cost of DWR, why go anywhere else? Case in point: yesterday, as I was walking down Fillmore, past DWR, I saw the Saarinen tulip table offered for about $5,000. Advanced Interior Designs has a beautiful replica for much less than half of that! Honestly, If you love beautiful design but find it difficult to part with thousands of dollars, I suggest you check out Advanced. As other yelpers have written, I too will certainly be a return costumer! Once again, thank you Jasmine and your team! read more

Just moved to California and needed a chair for my daughter's room. After much searching found a chair (that turned out to be discontinued stock) from Advanced Interiors. Robert was very helpful and everything went smoothly. My daughter is in love with the chair and it is beyond comfy. I definitely plan on making more future purchases from this great retailer. Thanks again Robert read more

Advanced Interior Designs - The chair... which is very cool and oddly comfy! Oh and there a so many more pictures of damage... even a button is not attached! - Furniture Stores Near Me

BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK! Best advice anyone ever gave me..."Do NOT do business with a company that is nowhere to be found on the BBB (Better Business Bureau's website!") It hasn't failed me yet!! From what I can tell, they complete their own FAKE reviews giving stellar remarks of course in hopes to convince you they have customers that actually GO to this "showroom" (hole in the wall) & buy this amazing, "quality" furniture after being treated "so well" & go back time and time again for more! Lies! They seem to make their real money on people that buy online and don't want to deal with the hassle of trying to get a refund once their subpar furniture arrives or want to avoid their large RESTOCKING fees and just accept that they made a poor choice in believing a company would sell "quality " furniture at low prices. Your Mom & Dad were right...."if it's too good to be true, it probably is"!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! read more

I am a repeat customer of Advanced Interior Designs', living in Portland, Oregon. I've come to expect that when looking for quality products, good customer service AND an affordable price, you need to pick two. Well I am now a firm believer that you CAN have your cake and eat it too. My first order from Rafayel and the AID team was a pair of Alphaville made, Exposition chairs. I was made weary by the great price being quoted by a company I had only known of through the internet, and thus subjected Rafayel (from AID) to several calls with grilling questions about the product, his company and their policies before reluctantly pulling the trigger on my purchase. His followup and communication was outstanding throughout, and following the purchase process. When the chairs arrived a few days later I was skeptical as I opened the boxes, then exceedingly pleased once I caught the first glimpse of my new chairs. Everything he assured me about build and quality rang true. Days later I found a small issue with one of the chairs (not an issue related to overall quality - which again I will state is at least on par with the $7,500 Knoll version). It was a reasonably simple and inexpensive fix that I was able to address myself. I brought it up with Rafayel anyway, and he offered several, very reasonable solutions to resolve the issue. Ultimately I opted to accept a generous partial refund for my troubles. Months later I still find myself pausing as I walk past the living room to gaze at the gorgeous chairs. To qualify my statements about the quality of these chairs, I should mention that both an interior designer friend (who used to work for Knoll) and a leading Portland area upholsterer (who was at my house working on an unrelated piece of furniture) - both of whom are intimately familiar with the authentic Knoll Barcelona - expressed utter shock over the quality and beauty of these Exposition chairs. I have since ordered other products from Advanced Interior Designs, including the Alphaville made Tribeca table (Noguchi), and an Alphaville made molded plywood LCW. Again, the prices were more than reasonable and the quality is right on par with their authentic, name brand cousins. Rafayel and his AID team are buttoned up, friendly, responsive, and keenly focused on their mission to provide great products and customer service at accessible prices. Despite the saturation of local stores and business selling mid-mod and modern furniture here in Portland, I look forward to working with AID as my exclusive resource for all of my furniture needs for many years to come. I am a happy customer. read more

We purchased a Nelson-style bench, a Eames-style rocking chair and two Eames-style plywood lounge chairs -- all are sturdy and fine- indistinguishable from the wares DWR is peddling... AID is aid indeed (to the wallet), offering wonderful furniture at fair, reasonable prices. It's well made stuff without the DWR price tags (design within reach of who exactly, I ask?) And they delivered - all the way across the country! My only complaint, and the reason I cant offer up 5 stars, is that our Eames Lounge chairs which we intended to pair up, arrived in different shades of red -- -- perhaps they came out of different batches, but it is a bit of a bother. That said, the owners have been quite helpful in offering to resolve the issue. Thats great customer service and that will keep me a customer. read more

Nice addition to the Hayes Valley Hood...well Near Hayes Valley that is....I used to really be into the classic designs back in the sixties and seventies....the family had an original eames chair when I was young.....This store...with it's enviable high ceilings.....brings me back to those days of yesteryear ....The product line looks & feels Classy........and unlike some boutiques the prices here are not prohibitive.... This store carries top notch repro lines.....The owners are a delightful, hardworking couple, with a two year old daughter, (recently diagnosed with a chronic lung condition, sadly), who are dedicated to customer satisfaction... read more

Girl meets chair. Girl buys chair. Girl spends billions of hours working from home in chair. Chair meets cats. Chair dies slow, horrible death. Looking for a replacement I realized that I am extremely picky about chairs and the only one that would even kind of replace my old chair was a $3000 sexy hunk of chair flesh from DWR. But for some reason I seemed to have misplaced the $3000 I usually keep around just for splurging on ridiculously overpriced furniture. Then by some convoluted turn of fortune that I couldn't even pretend to retrace, I found Advanced Interior Designs. I went to the showroom on Gough. I bought a chair suitably close to the DWR chair for $245. And I got a matching one for my husband. We're both extremely pleased. The cats are pleased. Everyone's pleased. One warning though - the chairs did not come with assembly instructions, so the first one took us about an hour to figure out, but the second one was easy enough. If you're the kind of person who hates things like Legos or just gets easily frustrated, give them a call and they'll help you out. I couldn't bring myself to take off a star for that. read more

This company handled an Internet order for me. I never walked into the showroom. Service may be set up for showroom, but it is NOT for Internet orders. Someone named Rafayel is supposed to do that. I have put so much time into this I will not even waste the time to elaborate past the point of saying, I was supposed to save $100 on a $600 order by buying it through AIDesigns and if I could charge them ~$1000 I would. My recommendation would be to avoid. ___ Update: AIDS did offer to pick up the table and give a full refund. The driver made two appointments and stood me up both times. After my post on Yelp!, the store contacted me to arrange to keep the table in exchange for a change in my rating. My Yelp! review, through no doing of my own, disappeared. read more

This place rocks. It's Fantastic. I'm a super design snob, and this AI Designs makes me happy. My side chairs for the dining room were just delivered, and I couldn't be happier. 1. They have a great selection of furniture at amazing prices. 2. Super friendly and helpful sales people. I talked with Jasmine, and she's super sweet. 3. They delivered all 6 of my side chairs for free. Ummmm, what? YES! I live just down the street, and they said, no worries, we'll just have our drivers drop them off. how often does that happen anymore? read more

Very good prices, great costumer service, You get designer furniture at a fraction of the cost. If you want to furnish your office or business to look slick and modern without spending the money on very expensive designer furniture, this is the place for you. read more

The reproductions are of great quality! It's foolish to pay full price for the real thing. Same day delivery - it's amazing! read more

I stumbled across an AID advertisement in Craigslist for AG Management Chairs while searching for some conference room chairs for my office. The price point fit our needs, but being in Atlanta, I wasn't able to visit the store and check them out first hand. A few weeks later, I got to experience the exact AID chairs I was eyeing while visiting a designer's conference room. They looked and felt great, and the designer said they'd been happy with them. That gave me the confidence to pull the trigger, and I've been very pleased with our order. The quality is well above IKEA and well below the original Eames design that inspired them (at less than 1/5th the price). We'll likely order another four chairs and I'd be very comfortable ordering other furniture from AID. A note about shipping and delivery: Our four chairs arrived as expected three days after I placed the order. The boxes looked like they'd been tossed out of an airplane from 40,000 feet. AID forewarned us in the purchase confirmation email to not open damaged boxes without first informing the delivery company, so before we accepted the order, someone in the office took pictures of the unopened boxes and the delivery man made note of the damage. Despite the condition of the boxes, the chairs were completely unscathed. They took some effort assembling, but everyone in the office is super pleased with the final result. read more

As a new business it is important to have proper support. From advanced interior designs that is exactly what I got. Jasmine helped me pick out these white Barcelonas that have proved very functional and aesthetically beautiful as well. There are many sites out there that offer this product but I have to say dealing with them has been shady at best. What I got from AID if professionalism, a superior product, and prompt delivery. Will definitely use them as that business grows. Thank you. read more

Finally, a company that gets it! I've been furniture shopping online for several years now, and having had my share of on and off good/bad experiences, I've finally found a diamond in the rough. Advanced Interior Designs really understood my needs - they make buying furniture as painless as possible. Quality products, reasonable prices, and most importantly ON TIME! This is already the third time that I've ordered from them - twice online and once over the phone. Great customer service, very quick in responding to me and my emails. I'm no longer shopping around. AID is the place for me. read more

(My experiences pertain to their Plywood Eames replica chairs specifically) The furniture is fine, but not as close in quality to the originals as they imply. If you're the kind of person who cares about the details, I'd suggest thinking twice about getting something here. It's definitely a good value, but don't expect to get an equal quality product at a much cheaper price. My experience definitely wasn't as good as those described here on yelp, so perhaps it was atypical and I got unlucky? My chairs came in boxes that were battered to the point that someone along the way had to tape cardboard back onto one of them and left a hole in the other one. The chairs were okay, but had some minor dents in them that I would not expect in a new product. The screws were on crooked and tight enough to cause the finish to crack and peel. All of these are cosmetic details, but I was expecting better so I'm returning the chairs. The service is a mixed bag. When you get to talk to someone they are friendly and helpful enough. In my case, they were helpful in accommodating my desire to return the chairs and waved the 20% restocking fee. However, it can sometimes be hard to get responses to emails and calls. Finally, the guy who was supposed to pick up the chairs decided to sit outside my place and not ring the doorbell. He left a voicemail which I got later (bad reception). When I called him he said he didn't want to ring the doorbell because he didn't want to wake anyone up (at 10am). I guess I should have kept my phone close by, but is it really too much to expect a delivery guy to ring the doorbell? Final note: Upon posting this review, I received an unpleasant call from the owner insisting that my review was unfair. I re-read it and feel that it is an accurate description of my experience. I understand other people have had better experiences, but in my case it didn't go so smoothly and I feel that it is important to share my experience. read more

Advanced Interior Designs - The condition of the box my chair came in. - Furniture Stores Near Me

Worst customer service experience ever. Purchased Eames knock off online. Never opened the box as client changed mind 2 days after arrival. They insist you have an authorization number that they issue before you can return an item plus they suggest you should just sell it on Ebay instead. It took American Express involvement to get the number. A month later Advanced Interior Designs emailed me that I needed a number for the return. They already had the item back 3 weeks. Two months later Amex just removed the item from my bill. I wouldn't go here. read more

Everyone here is great!! Lily helped me a ton. Gave me a great price for 4 barstools, coffee table AND end table. Definitely will be sending people her way. I get compliments on everything I purchased here. Just recently moved to Cali and this place has about everything I need to furnish my new apt. Can't wait to do some more shopping here :) thanks Lily!!! You're the best! read more

This store might be good for people who know what they want already. We were looking for dining chairs and really wanted to look at the chairs and sit in them before ordering, so we decided to visit the store on Gough. We called several times in advance and didn't get an answer. When we arrived the store was pretty small, and not set up in a user friendly way. Lots of wasted space, and then chairs just crowded in other areas. The salesperson did not greet us, he just sat in the back on his computer. He was not helpful at all. The chairs that we asked for a price seemed expensive to me but I'm not all into this stuff, so maybe that's what that type of chair goes for. I guess if the salesperson was interested in helping us we could have found out. His attitude didn't give me confidence in the store. I think if I knew exactly which chair I wanted I might order it online, but visiting the showroom is not worth it. read more

I ordered my barcelona chairs on Friday morning and they arrived in perfect condition the following Thursday morning. Superb packaging and shipping from CA to WI. Really nice people both at D & L shipping and also at Advanced Interior Designs. It did take me two hours to unpack the two chairs and break down the boxes. I ordered the camel color and I would say it is darker, between a khaki and cement. I love them and would recommend these chairs. I highly recommend AID, as well! I will be back for more furniture :). Thank you! read more

I just bought 2 Alphaville Exposition ottomans from Advanced Interior Designs to match the 2 Alphaville Exposition chairs I've own for over 2 years. They are the best looking imitations of the 7500$ Knoll Barcelona chairs I have seen. The quality is very good for a fair price! They are beautiful and stay beautiful. Definitely a good value for the money. I found the Advanced Interior Designs website by chance looking for information about Alphaville furniture on the web. Since I've had a nightmarish experience buying the chairs from another website (see below) I called to make sure I was dealing with trustworthy people. I talked to Robert who confirmed the ottomans were in stock and would be delivered within a week. He told me I would get a tracking number so I would know exactly what was happening. He also offered me to call again if I had any questions or issues. Being reassured I decided to go ahead and order the ottomans over the phone. I told him he would hear from me either way, happy or not. He has, in a good way! The ottomans arrived from Ca in NJ in 6 days in perfect condition. They were very carefully packed. I am also very lucky the leather matches my older chairs very well, better than I expected. I will remember them for future designer furniture needs! They make shopping on the web what you wish for: a great experience. They are easy to communicate with and efficient. I recommend Alphaville furniture to anyone who wants great looking and good quality designer furniture for a fair price. The reason I did not have the matching ottomans before is that Dan Ambrose who owns the website www.danambrosehome.com never delivered them. It took 6 months to have the chairs delivered after many unanswered emails and phone calls and a complaint to the Better business Bureau. I am still waiting for the ottomans I payed for or to be reimbursed! Of course he is not answering emails or phone calls! I am glad that because of Advanced Interior Designs my story ends well. read more

I was interested in purchasing a chair from this company but wanted to first see it in more detail since the image on their site was blurry when I tried to zoom in to see the fabric quality (the Wassily chair in cowhide). When I called to see if I could come by to see it I was told I could not (I even offered to do so COVID-safely from my car or at a distance with a mask on). I then asked if they would be willing to waive the 20% restocking fee if it turned out not to be a good fit for my home and I needed to return it; they also declined. So I wrote to their customer service email address and never heard back. Very disappointing. I can't imagine running a business in which the customer can not see the product in advance and they have to lose money on the possible return. They wouldn't even let me pick up the chair in-person (I live in the area), they wanted me to incur the shipping costs unnecessarily. Unbelievable. Don't waste your time. I ended up buying a similar chair from Eternity Modern. They at least offered free shipping. read more

New business - new office chair! My new ribbed back, adjustable office chair was purchased from their San Francisco showroom. They have a large warehouse in Los Angeles where my order was shipped from, and arrived in 2 days in a great condition. George, the store manager was very helpful and knowledgeable about the product, also while I was waiting for him to process my invoice, I tested most of the office chairs and bar stools on the showroom floor - they have great quality products at competitive prices. I'll definitely go back to their showroom for more furniture. Order with confidence from Advanced Interior Designs ! read more

Meh. If you want to view an item they have online (and it's not in the small, messy warehouse like showroom they have), then you have to order it in full. That means, if you realize the cheap knock-off you've bought looks even MORE cheap than what you thought from the online photo, it will cost you 15% in restocking fees to return it. No thanks. Might as well buy on Amazon. read more

There is a very small display of furniture, most sales are online, if you know what you want no need to shop around. Very helpful guy at the place George. Ordered my bench, at a very good price and picked it up myself. George carried it to my car. Will be back in the near future. read more

I wanted to buy a new dining set for my place for a long time. I had a specific chair in mind and after searching online for a while I found it on Advanced Interior Designs website. Even though I prefer to personally see and test the product before buying it, I decided to give it a shot. I called them and inquired about Wishbone dining chairs. The rep was helpful and answered my questions about the chair, delivery time and cost. I decided to process the order over the phone and waited anxiously for my new chairs. I received a tracking email later that day stating that my order would be delivered in 2 days - hmmm this was fast ! Now let's wait for the actual order - as promised, 2 days later FedEx delivers my order. Six boxes in my dining room - let's do this ! I started opening one of the boxes - took off the bubble, foam and plastic wraps and finally discovered my chair !!! Wow, it is well made and the finish matches my dining table nicely. I opened the rest of the boxes and placed the chairs around my dining table. By looking at my complete dining set I am thinking to myself "perfect choice" ! Thank you Advanced Interior Designs for making this process hassle free and painless :) read more

I have been working with a gentleman named Robert at Advanced Interior Designs and I have to say I would highly recommend both AID AND Robert. Not intentionally, but I had such difficult requests and questions and Robert came through each and every time over the past week. Both were amazingly pleasant to work with and I got exactly what I needed. At no point was there any difficulty, other than on my end. read more

This is how a furniture business should be run. No excessive shipping fees or BS excessive wait times for your furniture. I ordered a black Roset chair and ottoman and the white clubber sofa with walnut arms for my loft in SOMA. Neither of these exact pieces were at the showroom but when they arrived they were above my expectations in terms of quality and comfort. I gave them a hard to meet deadline of delivery in two weeks for my house warming party. They did everything above and beyond what a normal furniture store would do to meet my deadline. Check out my photos for examples. Love these guys. Bottom line, they understand CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I highly recommend AID to anyone looking for high quality, stylish furniture with a budget. read more

I was in the market for a new desk, ever since my son put a hot bowl on my glass desk! Darn, I loved that desk...but the crack it developed as a result of a misguided bowl of soup wasn't safe!

I have been remodeling my home for the last several years and believe me when I tell you that there are not many trades people or companies that I would recommend to my friends!.. I have plenty of horror stories.. That being said I would like to give my 100% recommendation to Advanced Interior Designs and thanks to Jasmine for the finishing touches on my remodel....She is patient, knowlegable and even listened to my problems with another company and gave me great advice. My first order was my gorgeous 3/4" glass top Mies Van De Rohr inspired table, two Eames inspired plywood palisander chairs, and four white Eiffel chairs....I love them and they are beautiful quality....I am a very picky person so I have been told by family members...(LOL) My living room looks just fantastic ! Recently my friend who lives across the street decided after seeing the quality and construction of my furniture to purchase the Noguchi inspired table from AID that she had been wanting...She had looked at other sites but insisted that she only wanted to purchase this table from the company where I bought my furniture. We put in an order together and received all our products securely crated and delivered by a wonderful trucking company... I purchased a Bertoia chair and a carrara marble side table...Both products are wonderful quality.... Thank you Jasmine for your outstanding customer service and beautiful products...I am so happy I found you on the web..... If anyone would like to call me personally and ask me a question about this company I would be happy to speak with you....(305-653-8094) Lesley read more

Best prices for designer furniture imitations in the Bay area. The open hours are inconvenient though, if you live outside the City.

Still super awesome, 2 years later. Great advice, super fast shipping and low prices. Definitely my to-go place for designer stuff that is not a ripoff like DWR is... read more

I have ordered twice with Advanced Interior Designs, they have great products and fast shipping. I have placed both my orders directly on their website for AG management chairs in black color for our office. We have been looking for these particular chairs for weeks, I have contacted many other sites to check the availability - no luck, the chairs were sold out everywhere else, and the wait time was 4 - 6 weeks. When I called AID, to my surprise I found out they had the chairs in stock, and will ship in 24 - 48 hours as their website stated. The friendly customer service rep explained the chairs will be shipping from their own warehouse in CA (instead of relying on the manufacture inventory). After confirming the availability, I ordered 6 Ag office chairs directly on their website. They offer competitive pricing on the chairs, in addition I received 10% discount on the order, since there was a promotion - buy 4, get 10% discount. My order was shipped the same day, and I was provided with the FedEx tracking number immediately. The office chairs arrived in 2 business days to our NV office in a great condition. Besides the fact that chairs are fabulous looking, they also have a great comfort. Our office is growing and expending, we got more of the AG management chairs from AID. It's now our first place to go when we are looking for more furniture! read more
