Closed Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. $15 fee for loading assistance but many of the pieces could be moved with a friend or on your own if they are the right size/shape. Tim checked us out and was very sweet and helpful getting us squared away. Ron was so kind and helped load items, providing cardboard to keep things from bumping into one another. Both gentlemen were so nice and helpful. We'll be back for future furniture needs! We're lucky to have a furniture store like this in Hilo!

On July 18th 2023 I went into the bamboo & teak furniture store in Hilo to pick up a table and…read morechairs for a friend that I had referred. The friend that purchased the furniture told them I would be down that morning to pick it up. When I got there, I made contact with a female employee that had been cruising around on an electric scooter. The female employee told me that the table was in a storage bay at the end of the building and the chairs were in a shipping container on the other end of the parking lot and that there was a $15 loading fee. I told her that my two daughters and I could load the furniture if she could bring it out. Her and another employee went down to the bay where the table was, and removed it from a stack of tables and set it just outside the bay door. She said here you go and again told me the chairs were in the shipping container at the other end of the parking lot, before walking away. We carried the table the entire length of the building back to my truck and then had to retrieve all six chairs from the shipping container. After loading all of the furniture, I found the female employee wandering around the store with what appeared like nothing to do except trying to look busy. We were the only customers there and the parking lot was empty. I asked her if the owner of the business was around. She told me that he wasn't working that day and rudely asked what I needed. I calmly explained that from a customer point of view, I shouldn't have to gather all of the furniture that was ordered. I told her that I felt that the furniture should've been in one area for me to load up. I also told her that I had never had a furniture company charge to help wrap and load furniture. She told me she was too busy to help me wrap and load, yet wasn't helping any other customers and to me was just wandering around trying to look busy. She told me that she didn't have time to baby every customer that comes into the store, and that we were lucky to even have a place to shop for furniture. She also told me they barely survived Covid. I told her that over the last year I had easily spent several thousand dollars and referred many people to their business and from a customer point of view this wasn't the proper way to treat customers. She told me that she didn't care and didn't need my money. I told her that if Covid hadn't taken them out of business, her attitude surely would. I also told her she shouldn't act like they are the only furniture store on the island because there are other places to shop. She told me good, shop somewhere else. I assured her that I would be shopping elsewhere and would be speaking to the owner. During my conversation with her I never raised my voice or got rude yet she was very rude and repeatedly interrupted me while I was speaking. I made several attempts to contact Mike the owner and never received a call back. I don't know what happened to this business. It used to be awesome you would buy furniture, they would have it wrapped and ready for you they would help you load it and often I would give them 10 or $20 as a tip. I try and support local businesses anytime that I can, but when treated like this by an employee, I will not go back and will not recommend them to anyone.

We have purchased many pieces of furniture, plants, art and decor from Paradise Plants over the years. Objectively speaking we have come to realize over time that our purchases from Paradise Plants were all superior in quality and often times the same price as the pieces we bought from other stores both on-island and the ones we had shipped to the island that were far inferior in look and build quality. We purchased some pretty beds from Home World. They look great, however they are very cheaply made and we have had to rebuild all of the internal parts to make them stronger as they all broke in the first year. This was a great expense. Home World sells particle board junk. We noticed the beds we purchased from Paradise Pants had solid aluminum supports instead of cheap particle board. They are all super sturdy and look amazing and were the same price as the Home World particle board junk. Paradise Plants sells quality, unique, indoor furniture at excellent prices. Bamboo and Teak down the road is also good, but mostly used stuff so a bit like shopping at a garage sale, but sometimes you get lucky. Paradise Plants has new, gorgeous pieces every time we go in all at a good price. They also have an excellent outdoor furniture brand called Lagoon that is perfect for the environment here on the island. So far, It's the only outdoor furniture that has survived at our salty oceanfront locations and our corrosive Volcano location. That brand of outdoor furniture is Puna proof! It has no steel to get rusty and is all strong durable plastics and/or non-corroding aluminum. Very happy with quality and price as none of these end up in a landfill after 1-2 years like every other brand we tried. From price, quality/longevity, beauty of pieces, to their excellent customer service and ability to deliver and setup all pieces and have a great customer experience, you won't find a better store that is locally owned and operated employing great local people.

I was told by a gentleman who was in charge of garden pots that I could buy some pots at a sale price bc there were just a few left, so I did and love them. Came back to buy the two that were left and the owner refused to honor his sales price, saying they were new and he shouldn't have done that. I left, remembering that it was not just a bad day for her but that previously she refused to let my service dog on he premises even though we had been there a few other times.

Shanna saved the day. She repaired both items quickly, at shockingly reasonable prices.

As of a few hours ago, I have taken delivery of a bed that was custom-made as a result of thorough collaboration with owner/craftsman Vince Wilson, and I could not be more pleased. I asked for a platform bed in which the mattress platform was 25" above floor level, with drawers beneath that extended the entire width of the bed (which supports a Twin XL mattress). That represents around 45 cubic feet of storage space, a massive amount and so important in island living situations where there is often much less square footage than I, at least, have ever had in other places I've lived on the mainland. (Not a complaint! I would pay almost any price to live in my favorite place on the planet!) Due to the unusual nature of the request, it took some time to get it done, but it was done right. I fully expect that this oh-so-worth-it investment will be one I will enjoy for many years to come. Cannot recommend Big Island Beds highly enough.
