I hired Staged to Sell Design Services (owned by Lou) to stage my rental property in Cave Creek, AZ…read morein July 2025. I feel compelled to share my experience to help other property owners make informed decisions: Pros: -Quick initial response to concerns -Willing to remove furniture promptly when issues were raised Cons: -Poor quality of furnished items delivered -Furniture showed significant wear and damage -Items were noticeably dirty and poorly maintained -Unprofessional handling of refund situation -Poor follow-through on promises I paid $3,654.02 for staging services, but the quality of furniture delivered was severely substandard. My realtor documented approximately 40 photos showing multiple issues including: -Deep scratches and chips on furniture -Worn finishes -Stained upholstery and rugs -Excessive dust (furniture was so dirty you could write in the dust) -Generally dated and worn items When these issues were brought to the owner's attention, the same day as delivery, he initially offered a 50% refund and immediate destaging. However, despite multiple follow-up communications and providing my refund details, I have yet to receive any refund as promised. The owner cited a non-refundable clause in the contract, but this shouldn't apply when the service quality falls significantly below professional standards. While I understand staging companies have high overhead costs, delivering poor-quality, damaged, and dirty furniture is unacceptable for a professional staging service. What's more disappointing is the failure to honor the promised partial refund. I would strongly recommend thoroughly inspecting any furniture before signing off on services from this company and getting any promises in writing. I attempted to resolve this matter privately multiple times before posting this review. Unfortunately, the lack of follow-through on promised resolution left me with no choice but to share my experience to help others make informed decisions.

My realty team set me up with a few quotes, and when I asked who they recommend I go with, they immediately said Staging Arizona. And I am so glad they did! Michelle is amazing, she came to the house to do a walk through, she gave recommendations not only for staging the home but what repairs/issues should get some attention from a buyers perspective. She also did an amazing job with the property, the home looked stunning and I got a lot of positive feedback from people who viewed the house as well, commenting on how nicely the staged property looked. Fast forward a month, and my house is sold! Thank you again Michelle!!

What a fantastic experience! I firmly believe in the value of home staging and my experience with…read moreMichelle and her team reinforced it. We renovated a house we had owned for many years to prepare it for a sale. I called Michelle based upon her Yelp reviews and the samples of her work featured on her website. She met me at the house and we discussed budget and reviewed samples of previous jobs that were similar to what she had in mind for us. The results were beautiful. The house went on the market and we had a full price offer within two hours of it going live, with backup offers within 24 hours. It was showed 27 times in two days, all due to the images posted online with the listing. I highly recommend this company.

She gave us some real inspiration and she was so right on so many things, from tiling ideas to soft furnishings. We've followed through on many of her recommendations and thoughts.

It usually does work out though. We continue to shop at the store and enjoy Talia's opinions and advice and expect to do so for a long time. We'd highly recommend Spice Up Your Home!

She goes on to give us her opinion on what we can do and at times looked like she wasnt sure. I had to remind her all i wanted was a 3d rendering.

My friend Debi C got me hooked on this interior design shoppe a few years ago…read more This business offers different levels of interior design services but I have only visited their retail store. Furniture, decor, art, accessories, kitchen gadgets and linens are all beautifully curated. November and December are my favorite months to shop here when this store is decked out with fully decorated holiday trees, seasonal decor items and gift suggestions. The jewelry and crafts from local artists are terrific to browse through too. Unique soaps, candles and delicate string lights grab my attention and my wallet! On Nov 6th, they had their annual holiday night out. The first 100 guests were treated to a free ice cream topped churro and dirty sodas from food trucks outside the back of the store. Advertising, raffles and food samples must have worked due to how many more people I saw this year! I purchased forever candles, glittery winter evergreens and a few other goodies. It was such a fun night to eat and shop with friends on a cozy fall evening!
