We've been stuck on several decisions and sought Courtney's help with a 2-hour consult. I couldn't believe how much we got through in the two hours alone. We planned to focus on a couple specific things, but she ended up giving us recommendations for almost every room in the house! The session was super collaborative, and it was so satisfying to have her make decisions on things we've been wrestling with for months. She connected us to all the vendors we need, then came back to help us choose window treatments and a stair runner. We're so grateful for the super efficient, cost-effective support and can't wait to work with her again when we're doing other phases of our remodel.

They were such a joy to work with! They staged a house I had for sale in Asheville. From the very start their design sense really stood out. The staging combined the clean lines of modern elegance with functionality. The particular pieces of furniture and fixtures they chose captured the essence of a completely renovated 100-year old home. Best of all, Carla's and Simcha's joy really comes out in their customer service. They worked hand-in-hand with me, my realtor, and the contractor overseeing renovation. They always had great ideas, showed great thought and patience, and were very responsive in every way.

The Design Gallery team provided all this and more.  They listened to our ideas, suggested alternate concepts and we worked together to develop a beautiful design that we could not have envisioned on our own. We interviewed and ultimately selected a general contractor recommended by the design team.  We could not have asked for a better advocate to have on our side during the whole house construction project. The Design Gallery team personally reviewed the progress onsite at key milestones to ensure our vision stayed on track. We are now living in our newly remodeled home and couldn't be happier.  Thank you Dawn and Betsy;   your team provided honest advice and you always looked after our best interest.  We consider you good friends

K2 Studio did not stand behind the products they sold to me. I bought a 4 piece bedroom set from K2…read moreStudio in 2019. All four pieces were built improperly with alignment issues. At first, Kim sounded like she was going to help. She acknowledged that there were issues from this particular manufacturer, and that the brand was switching to a different manufacturer in 2020 due to them. We talked about the possibility of getting a replacement from the new manufacturer, but that it would take time to get the product going with the new assembly line. Eventually she offered a partial refund instead. I wanted to get an estimate for repairing the furniture so that I could assess whether the refund was a fair offer. Kim offered to send a repairman to my house to do an estimate. Up until this point, Kim seemed like a trustworthy person so I accepted this proposal. The repairman she sent wrote a report saying that there was nothing wrong with the furniture. He claimed that the gaps were at or under 1/16", but he took no measurements. There are 16 places with gaps larger than 1/16", and they are as large as 3/8". I used a depth gauge to take these measurements, and I offered to send video evidence to Kim showing the depth gauge measurements so that she could see that I was using the tool correctly. You can see the issues I'm describing in the attached photos. I spoke to another furniture manufacturer to ask what industry standards for wood manufacturing tolerances were, and I was told that they were 30/1000" for moving parts, and 10/1000" for non-moving parts. Thus, even 1/16" is outside of spec. Kim also tried to claim that humidity explains the gaps, but the manufacturer I spoke with said that furniture shouldn't have gaps this severe from humidity. I own other wooden furniture in the same house (same humidity conditions) and it does not have these issues. Kim later forwarded me an e-mail from her repairman to her where he admitted that he hadn't taken any measurements. Despite his admission, and despite the evidence I submitted to her, she declined to do anything about our furniture. She also used the repairman's report to close a credit card claim that my wife and I had opened since Kim was taking too long to solve our issue. I recommend staying away from this merchant. The styles are beautiful and enticing, and you might be lucky enough to get furniture that isn't damaged. However, if you get furniture that doesn't meet industry quality standards you may have an experience like I did. It's not worth the risk - there are plenty of stores around North Carolina that offer similar styles but that support their customers. If you like a piece in their showroom, I recommend finding another merchant that sells that piece.

Hours are posted on the door and we were there within the posted time frame. There was also a sign that said they were open for business but if the door should be locked we needed to call a phone number to enter. Mind you, it's POURING down rain and there's no coverage. We call, no one answered. Serious about finding a couch, we call again. A gentleman finally answers and informs us he is out of town. Um, okay? I guess we won't be shopping here. Waste of time and we were soaked waiting and assuming someone was right in the back going to open the doors for us. This was very frustrating! I guess if you decide to visit this particular store you should call ahead and make sure you're not making a wasted trip. Or, just go somewhere else...

She is so easy to work with - incredibly fun, down to earth and even more talented in her gift of seeing a vision and knowing colors. She took my "ideas" and improved on them. She also made several suggestions that added value to the house and... ideas to get the look I wanted, for less money. I highly recommend Sheri Rose! ~ Barbara M.
