Deeply Unsatisfied. I'm so so sad that I spent our furniture budget at this store, due to sales, quality, and customer service experiences.
Feedback for myself: Don't go furniture shopping at 7 months pregnant.
Sales: I was on my second weekend of furniture shopping when I (unfortunately) ended up at this store. They were having a fabric "sale" in which you could get any level of fabric for a reduced price. I was made to believe this was an extremely unique, one-time-only sale and that the more expensive fabric was softer, more durable, etc. The sales push was hard, and after looking at lots of different fabric samples I placed an order. I later learned these sales are very common place, the lighting in the store is very different than in my home (the fabric sample I selected looked gray...it is, in fact, blue :( and was highly encouraged by a "designer" to get an ottoman in different fabric.
Feedback for myself: Don't buy the day you're there, look at fabric samples in the location they'll be used, and get second opinions on designs if you don't have an eye to interior design yourself. Especially if you're buying your first round of "adult" furniture.
Quality: The fabric is a different color than it appeared, scratchy, allows you to feel the feathers through it, and the ottoman had a studded pattern on the bottom that wasn't visible in the store (since I didn't look at it sitting down....though I see it now all the time from my couch). Additionally, the "nice" fabric is warm and itchy on our legs....not at all apparent from the small sample we felt in the store. After doing more research I realized how overpriced Boston Interiors is.
Customer Service: I ended up needing to be induced early, so the couch was delivered while I was in the hospital. I barely looked at it for the first few weeks, and reached out immediately once we were starting to get in a routine with the baby to express my displeasure with our order and the sales tactics used. I shared that I had thought it would be delivered before I had a child and that I'd needed to be induced before term due to health reasons, and asked if there was any type of exchange I could do. I was offered an "exception" to the 2-week rule that allowed me to exchange the couch at a loss of 70% of the price. I ended up just dropping it due to being a new parent and having my focus and concern directed toward my child rather than our furniture.
That said, my first experience buying "adult" furniture was negative, in part due to my own mistakes and in part due to the sales, quality, and customer service offered by Boston Interiors. I never wanted a return; I simply wanted furniture that I liked and was super willing to own my own part in the mess. It's sad that Boston Interiors is more interested in selling overpriced furniture and closing sales than they are in customer satisfaction with their products. I would look elsewhere. read more
