I was pretty conflicted on how I would rate Room & Board. I was looking for furniture that I would…read morekeep for a long time but I was also a little bit on a budget. Yes, yes, you laugh at me because Room & Board and "budget" are oxymorons. They were actually the first place to pop up on my "furniture" search of the internet and since we were at Jeni's (at this point you're asking, "When is he not at Jeni's?") we decided to stop in and have a look. Room and Board is a modern (but not too modern) 3 store furniture store. The moment you walk in even the air seems better inside. Practically everything inside this place is made out wood which brings an earthy feel to all their art pieces. We were in search of a desk so even though we looked at all the other floors and wanted to buy everything in the shop, we finally went downstairs to the study room area. What's really cool about Room and Board is that almost everything that is made of wood (so that's almost everything) you can customize to the wood color of your choice. Go there to see the pieces in person and then take a picture of item tags. Go online, create your profile and customize the pieces to your liking and they build it for you. As a result, not everything can be shipped at once. Once the furniture is ready, it then takes another 2 weeks to get to you. Yes, this place is more expensive than say, Ashley's or Ikea but on the high end of things, the furniture isn't that bad for the quality of items that you are getting. The sales reps here were also super friendly and helpful and the store proudly puts out a sign on the front door that they are a sponsor of Pride events in the city. Definitely one of my favorite places to look at and if I have the money, buy. Love the lay out and just love getting ideas from their show rooms. If you're looking for furniture and design concepts, this is a great place to get some modern design ideas.

We had a very disappointing experience with Room & Board, both in terms of product quality and…read morecustomer service. We purchased the ARIA table (60" round with smoke glass top), and the glass surface scratches extremely easily. Our household has only two adults, we are very careful, and we always used a tablecloth or placemats. Despite that, the dark smoke glass shows numerous visible scratches. That is completely unacceptable for a brand new table and points to a clear design or material issue. I contacted customer service and explained the issue and how careful we are with the table, sent detailed photos and a video, and explained the situation thoroughly. After several email exchanges, their final response was to claim that we must have been using "sharp objects" on the table. This was frustrating and dismissive, especially given how careful we are. To show good faith, I even offered for them to take the tabletop and test it themselves so they could see the issue firsthand. They had zero interest in doing that, which speaks volumes about their lack of commitment to product quality and improvement. As a result, we bought a clear glass tabletop from another store and are using it with the same table base. We've used it in exactly the same way for over a month, and there isn't a single scratch, exactly what you'd expect given how carefully we treat our furniture. This whole experience was awful and incredibly frustrating. We truly believed Room & Board was a high-quality, reliable furniture brand, but after dealing with their customer service, we realized that isn't the case. I would absolutely not recommend them based on this experience.

At $80 they would have been a tad overpriced, but the deal made them just right. Contrary to the other review I found the staff to be very friendly.

If you're hunting for some random furniture or interesting wall pieces I would definitely recommend hitting this shop if you're in the area.

Whatever you need you can find it here and be giving your money to small business which is always a good thing! My review is for their re-upholstery services though. Bet you didn't know they did re-upholstery, did you? Neither did I until City Issue referred me to them. Apparently they do some of City Issue's mid century modern furniture re-upholstery. For starters I bought this absolutely gorgeous mid century Dux chair that was covered in this hideous stained fabric that I knew I could get redone to look more period; the price was good so I had to buy it. After I bought the chair I had an email convo with one of the designers to get a quote for my chair and ottoman. I provided her with pictures and dimensions. She gave me the quote, $350 which isn't that much considering the front and back needed to be replaced as well as the ottoman. She also asked me to come in and pick a fabric. They have loads of fabrics to choose from; all styles and all price ranges. They also will let you bring in your own fabric, which is what I did (I bought my fabric at Lewis and Sheron). They quoted me a time of when my chair would be ready. I picked it up when it was done and my jaw dropped. My chair was now pimped out and bad ass. They did a wonderful job and I am so happy that I used Nandina. That chair is now my seating pride and joy. *I will post some pictures when I get around to taking them.
