I bought a couch and love seat here in late December 2025. Early May i noticed the seam on one of…read morethe cushions had opened. I emailed the store with photos and choy of my receipt but received no reply. I continued to email them, escalating to several people and emailing at least once a day. Finally they responded that they had to check with the manufacturing plant. After, 2 months of putting me off with various excuses and my having to email them once a day they finally agreed to replace the cushion cover but i would have to pay for is delivery or drive to high point to get it. The drive is an hour and a half away but they would not budge. I believe a reputable business would have responded to my initial emails and that they would have, either repaired the cover or sent me a replacement without playing games for 2 months and making me go up and get it. I would not recommend them and caution people to be wary of them.

I'm not sure if many people have gotten rid of all their furniture and moved across the country to…read morebuy new furniture. My family is in that category so faced with looking for furniture we came to the capital of furniture, High Point. The first place we looked at was closed down, likely due to Covid which claimed so many businesses. Second, we came here, but this is not a clearance center in my opinion. They have great furniture, but not at clearance center prices. It looked like it was either family-owned or managed. They were very nice, but there was absolutely nothing at our price point. The dresser we thought might be a good option was around $600 which for this area is not bad and all wood, again not bad. If you are looking for higher-end furniture at a good cost I would say come here and look around.

With the housing market crazy, and most of our furniture aging, combined with downsizing by 1,000…read moresquare feet, we sold our home and rather than move so much stuff, sold off most of our furniture. Well, that meant furnishing our new place. My wife is in the furniture business so we got a few pieces from her company but we'd been searching for a couch and other items. We decided to head to Area where we'd bought some items in the past. We loved the place then and even more so now. The layout is great and the choices excellent. We found a leather sofa and ottoman and made the deal. They delivered it flawlessly after the business closed and were as safe and delightful as can be. We will be buying more items in the future to be sure!

The owner had trouble finding the fabric we picked out, but called around before finally securing just the right amount. We are thrilled with this piece of furniture. I highly recommend Area. They're knowledgeable and kind, and the Younger sofas are made in the Triad. Overall great experience.

Ordered a Chesterfield leather wing back chair from Distinctive Chesterfields in the UK through…read moretheir US distributor Zaar Design Center over a year ago, it's been nothing but problems ever since and I've pretty much given up on them to make it right. First chair arrived with shipping damage, they arranged for a repair company to come by and fix it, they only made it look worse, so they sent a replacement chair, the second chair had worse shipping damage than the first chair, so I refused delivery/exchange, then they sent THAT chair to a repair center somewhere in California where it was refurbished, unfortunately it was refurbished to a color/finish that was way off color from the chair I originally ordered(and still have, shipping damage and all). I really have no better option than to keep the original chair(and damage) as they refuse to send their furniture across an ocean and a continent with more than a double layer of bubble wrap as packaging. This chair was about $700 cheaper than the other two or three other companies that make this type of furniture, but now I realize "ya get what ya' pay for", worst $700 I ever saved. Would I risk buying a matching couch for 3 times the price of the chair? No way in hell. I've learned my lesson.

I've known Ruth Olbrych for a long time. Not only is she a business woman who is dedicated,…read moreknowledgeable and passionate about her field and her beautiful antique Chinese furniture, but over the years she has become a good friend. The first time I met Ruth was when looking for an antique Chinese armoire to hide our TV and other things. We had been to a well known location in NY, and were inspired about the idea but not enough inspired by the items there to purchase. Somehow (!) I "found" Ruth and saw pieces on her web site. Connecting with her, we went to see her warehouse in Maine, driving there from MA and seeing family on the way. OK, just 5 minutes at her place left us breathless! Never mind the super-plain cabinet we went there for. Seeing the amazing armoire with an entire family story carved on the front was like stepping into another world. Whether in New York or even in San Francisco, we had not seen anything like it. The beautifully deep, rich red color and dark, somewhat worn metal hardware was brought to life by the softly highlighted figures embellishing the piece. The short story: Ruth has beautiful, high quality pieces and customer service to match. This was the first experience. A few years later I bought a pair of lovely Elm tables with wicker centers that we used together as a coffee table. Again, a very positive shopping experience. We didn't go to Maine that time but the whole experience was 100% great. As a designer and colorist, I have always had the greatest confidence in working with Ruth professionally and recommending Antiques by Zaar and Ruth as often as possible.
