The layout is well-organized, making it easy to browse through the diverse selection of items.

What truly stood out to me was the exceptional service provided by the gentleman working there.

He took the time to answer all my questions and offered great suggestions based on my style preferences. It's clear he is passionate about helping customers make their homes special.

Unique ***** Modern *****…read moreQuality ***** Variety **** Expertise *** Hard sell *** Parking ***** Location ** Price * (high) Different from other Raleigh stores (Haverty's, Bassett, Ethan Allen, La-Z-boy, Rooms to Go, etc.); Ambiente's furniture is all high-end, modern, cutting edge designs, unique pieces. Every other store has stodgy, traditional pieces that are so boring. (Basset's idea of cutting edge is offering memory foam cushion options.) At least Ambiente is fun and interesting to browse. If you're looking for an Ekornes Stressless chair, Ambiente has the best display of multiple colors and styles. FYI, those chairs are $3k each; most leather chairs cost just as much now. I have 2 Ekornes chairs that are 10 years old, extremely comfortable, still in style, and look brand new. I was shocked to see how much furniture prices have increased post-covid, and good luck getting custom pieces in less than 9-12 mos. due to supply chain issues. Most places don't sell showroom models, either. Buy "made in NC" for faster (yet still slow) delivery. Most of Ambiente's pieces are made overseas. I was looking for a sofa sectional. The first one I saw was beautiful. Price tag showed $11K. Who can afford a sofa that costs more than a car? I found a suitable sofa sectional at Bassett, but I left the store after I found out it was $8K. "It's 30% off!" Down from 10K. Since furniture costs are so high now, you might as well pick something you like enough to keep for decades. I even shopped online for sofas and discovered they are junk not made to last long but suitable for a first apartment.

Hart Furniture is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. Most of your time there will be spent perusing the many manufacturer catalogs they have on their shelves, since their actual in-store stock is a bit limited, depending on what you're looking for. You can order almost anything you can imagine, though, at excellent prices, and they'll be happy to ship to you. Staff members are very friendly and will really take the time to help you find the items you need, even if it means sitting down with you and poring through their catalogs.

Manny was so helpful and made our buying experience so stress free. He worked with us on pick up and cost! You couldn't ask for better service. The store is small, and full from floor to ceiling of furniture, tables, beds, light fixture, everything for your home! You have to take time to look around and I'm sure you'll find something you need!! I'm so please with my purchase and can honestly say, I will be a customer for life. In the future, I will be calling the number on the door to check to see if he's open or perhaps at his other location so I don't make the same mistakes previously! The only downside I can see is that there is no warranty on his furniture. BUT, his inventory is Market Samples and his prices reflect that. This place is truly a hidden gem and I will be going back again!

As a principal designer (with a key focus on interiors) at an award-winning national practice, I have worked with countless retailers, supply houses and interiors consultancies. Without question, these folks are my absolute favorite supply partners and I work with them every possible chance I get (note that they also offer trade pricing should you happen to be an architect or designer). Over the years my wife and I have bought several pieces from them at various price points and have always been impressed by their level of service, responsiveness, kindness, enthusiasm and overall product (and industry) knowledge. I truly cannot say enough great things about either the store itself or the people behind it.

I had purchased an item that turned out to be unavailable until October and while Ivy could have let me wait, she actually emailed me within 24 hours of my purchase to give me a chance to cancel the order if I didn't want to wait. I really appreciated her gesture and ended up keeping the order. She was very responsive through the entire process and I can't rave enough about my experience. Thank you Ivy and as I had let you know, you have a lifetime customer.
