We first met Barry Ambrose in 1997 when we were building our first house in Corolla Light. Both…read moreour realtor and our builder -- independently -- suggested Ambrose Furniture as the best source for our furniture. He helped us furnish our 6-bedroom home in a way that remained fresh and current til the day we sold it in October 2018. How often can you say THAT about furnishings? In 2001 we bought ANOTHER beach house in Corolla Light -- this one to rent out. Barry again helped us replace key pieces of furniture to update the look and have it stand out from the other rental houses. He suggested fabrics that would stand up to the wear and tear of weekly rentals. And they did, saving us money and keeping the house looking fresh. Last year Barry helped us furnish the house we built for our retirement when we tore down the rental house. He has an uncanny knack for asking what we want, having us give a semi-coherent explanation, and then showing us furniture and fabrics that are even BETTER than what we imagined. When we walked into our new home last December and saw the furniture in place, we were speechless. Literally! And besides having amazing taste, Barry is the friendliest, most responsive, most honest person with whom to deal. Meetings that we would thought would take the entire day managed to be completed in a couple of hours. That's how efficient Barry is. He knows his stock -- and the showroom is full of amazing ideas and samples. We can't say enough great things about him. I know that in order to make a review believable you're supposed to point out a failing. Sorry -- we can't think of one, except perhaps that they don't have a showroom in the Washington, DC, area! Does that count? We certainly got stupendous advice from our realtor and builder way back in 1997.

It smelled so bad our renters wanted a refund for their stay. I called and emailed Manteo Furniture but they didn't even bother to call back or respond to the email. I had to call many times to finally talk to someone and still have no resolution to the damage to my house and the cost I will incur getting it cleaned and reimbursing renters. I have been ordering appliances and furniture from Manteo Furniture for 13 years. But being a frequent and loyal longtime meant nothing to them. I will never order anything from them again.

They also replaced a small area of floor tiles. Pretty smooth process. Within a few months, the seams in the middle of high traffic areas became a big problem. The edges were a little too stretched and didn't stay tacked in the high traffic areas. A few years later, the seams and edges in those areas are ripped open a few inches wide and look really bad. The carpet is also worn and needs to be replaced. It is too pricey to be replacing carpet every 3-5 years. The tile still looks good, though.
