Jeff Farnsworth has been eyeing the unusual, irresistible and irreplaceable vintage objects, sly, sleek furniture, unique steampunk stuff, Mid-Century artifacts and Post-Modern objets almost as long as I've been addicted to them. He has an enormous knowledge-base, flawless, architectural-curation level taste, a fantastic display sense and extraordinarily reasonable pricing. Whenever I glance at something in my home environment that consistently makes me grateful I acquired it, nine out of ten times it's a treasure apple I nabbed from Jeff's esthetic Eden, secured by sheer luck at walking in before another vintage sinner scored.

She was so welcoming, friendly, and patient with all of our questions. She walked us through the whole process, explained how everything works from permitting to installation, and helped us really visualize how an ADU would fit onto a prospective property. If you're considering an ADU, I highly recommend touring a Masaya home and asking for Isabel--she's great.

I came in expecting to try out…read moresome sofas and potentially come back later, but we ended up purchasing a sofa by the end of our visit (very unusual for me). They were fairly busy on a Sunday, but a gentleman whose name I didn't catch directed us to a few sofas that I won't have thought to try, and of course one of them ended up being the one we purchased. We were passed off to Abdul for the logistics of the selecting the layout/fabric. Even though they were decently busy, Abdul took time to measure around the sofa to help us visualize how it would fit in our space, which helped us settle on a three-seater with a moveable ottomon, rather than a sectional. Overall had a lovely experience with the employees, and honestly their selection is amazing. It seems to be a very intentionally curated balance between well designed furniture without being over designed, well manufactured, and high(er)-end without paying extra for brand-name. It was honestly EXACTLY the balance was trying to hit. Can be more expensive, but if you can afford investing I strongly recommend KCC Modern, I'm confident this sofa is going to last a VERY long time.

It was a tiresome, fruitless journey from one dusty antique store to another, on both sides of the Bay. I will admit that I was surreptitiously eyeing Restoration Hardware catalogs toward the end there, thinking, "Well, maybe this fake French apple cart table is as good as it gets." Dark days, my friends. Walking into California Historical Design, you're surrounded by a stunning collection of Arts and Crafts furniture and decor. No glossy reproductions or faux crackle. The real deal. This is not a bargain hunter's paradise, but we are beyond pleased with the dining room table and chairs we bought. I think they're a good investment -- in my happiness, certainly, and probably financially as well. And they're just lovely. And now people can eat dinner at my house without having to balance a plate on their lap. Gus, the owner, is passionate about his merchandise and the people who built it. He shares information happily, making trips to his store really fun. He's also meticulous about the pieces, delivers for free(!), and keeps a consistently-updated website with photos of all his merchandise. He's a true professional, and that's reflected in the beauty of his merchandise and the rapport he has with his customers. If you're looking for jaw-dropping furniture or an amazing art piece for your home, you have to come here. PS, We had trouble finding this place, because the Yelp reviews were not SEO optimized. OH, how I wish I'd discovered it sooner! So let me just say this: Craftsman furniture, vintage furniture, antique furniture, Craftsman dining table, Craftsman chairs, Stickley, Roseville pottery, Craftsman tile, Dirk van Erp, Arts and Crafts.

His delivery was the day before mine, and I was delighted & hopeful that my experience from ordering through delivery would be as excellent as his was. My experience was!!! First, I come from a family of designers, and I live in SF, which is a city with many furnishing options. The experience of shopping on the CasaOne site, with all of the options & design resources, and their pricing structure, is an excellent one. I wanted a look that was all me, and I got it at CasaOne. My order was more than 25 items, and it was processed efficiently. 2 items were not available, and I was promptly notified. The day before & day of delivery experience is truly amazing. I have had a lot of incoming items for my new home, the CasaOne experience was the singular best of all of them to date. My white glove delivery Team took amazing care of me. Their assembly was seriously world-class; because of their assembly skill & attention to detail, they made the furniture look truly high-end. The delivery/installation Team were ultra careful about moving the furniture in, and ultra careful in placing it. They also did an exhaustive walk-through, looking at every inch of everything--they found a small imperfection that I had not. Out of 26 pieces total, only 2 had some minor issues, and I am certain these will be resolved. I am someone who lets the frustrations & imperfections of life move by...but I always try to be the person who recognizes superlative & cost efficient options for living, as well as superior work-ethic & execution.

Delivery was on time and efficient, but there was a moment of drama in the beginning when they were realizing that it was a sixth floor apartment with no elevator and they were calling their ops people to ask if they really needed to go through with it. (I only had 12-15 pieces, mostly small, for a studio apartment). I had clearly stated this when I filled out the forms and put in a special note about it, so it was awful to have them arrive and be faced with not having a bed to sleep on that night. They sorted it out and delivered as expected. What also wasn't great was that I signed up for the flex plan to be able exchange pieces whenever, and this went fine the first time, but second time I did this, they informed me that they had pivoted their business to doing only staging homes and selling furniture. There were also some email exchanges with their ops/support team that just required a bunch more arguing than I would have preferred. They did give me refunds on the flex plan, but now I'm stuck with furniture that I wanted to exchange for other pieces, but no way to do it. When my contract is over, I intend to return all this furniture.

To make matters even more clear, we already have kitchen and other cabinetry that were made by Berkeley Mills that came with the house.

They were delivered yesterday and we could not have imagined how beautiful they would be! They are master craftsmanship, comfortable, and just beautiful! Built to last a lifetime. We couldn't be happier. In addition, Gene and Adam worked with us and were gracious throughout the process, so that we could have them in time for a house-warming get-together. The chairs arrived right on time. Gene and Adam were both fantastic, and the chairs are pure artistry and a joy to look at and sit in. Thank you, Gene, Adam, and all of the Berkeley Mills woodworkers!
