Very mixed experience. While picking out two sofas, we had great customer service. Then the sofas…read morearrived and we found them to be much firmer than anticipated. I phoned the store to ask a couple of questions and as soon as I mentioned the firmness, the berating from the owner began. We were experiencing 'furniture shock', we got exactly what we ordered, he had spend HOURS explaining everything to us, what did I want him to do about this anyway, this is what good quality furniture feels like, we'll thank him in 3 years, did he mention he spent HOURS explaining everything to us, and then a hopefully facetious suggestion to jump on our sofas to soften them up. I never really got to ask my questions and just ended up hanging up. Very disappointing as the store carries nice things and we would have become good customers.

See item 2. below in particular:…read more 1. Purchased a custom rug 10 x 12 for about $3500. It came in 4" out of square in a length of 10'. Was told "what do you expect? It's handmade. Actually wasn't handmade - it was factory made and machine edged. In fairness the purchase price was refunded. But was an uncomfortable experience and told David it made me not want to return to his store. 2. Glutton for punishment! Went to PM again because they had the style we were looking for. Purchased a leather couch made by Moroni for roughly $5000 supposedly on sale from more than $7000. After about 14 months the finish started to flake off. Was told by PM that wear and tear wasn't covered and anyway that the warranty was only for 1 year. About 4 months later was going through old warranties and getting rid of expired ones when I came across the original tag brochure on the couch in which it stated that the leather was guaranteed for 5 years against peeling or flaking. Contacted Parc Modern again and after an email and 3 phone calls was told that the claim had been rejected because it was a sale item. Phoned Moroni - who have terrible customer service - they don't want to talk to an owner - and it seemed like PM had not even contacted them the second time but just made up a story to make the problem go away. But then they said the couch was no longer made anymore so any warranty was null and void!!! They said they would contact PM and that they would contact me. Still waiting. Lesson is: 1. don't buy any Moroni Product 2. don't expect more than lip service from Parc Modern once you have purchased the product.

They had a sign on the door to ring the doorbell and to please be patient. We could see people shopping inside. While we waited others came and left because they didn't wait to wait: We were just getting ready to walk away (after about 10 minutes of waiting or so) and when someone came out and we caught the door and slipped inside. While looking around we heard the doorbell ring so it was definitely working. What kind of business practice is this to treat your customers like this? They do have a lot of cool stuff but it's not cheap. Not worth waiting out in the rain for (thankfully it was a dry day for us).

The store has a great welcoming vibe. We decided to purchase 4 dining chairs and bar chairs now - even though our house is still under renovation. The manager, Sandy, truly understands the stress of home renovations and furnishing problems. Her expertise in design and understanding our needs really helped us envision the possibilities. I cannot ask for better service. I even bought some great candles to add to our home. Thank you so much.

I placed my order 2 months ago and the table is ready (or so I'm told), but still no shipping. Unacceptable.

I assume it was the owner Khloe who was working because she had her beautiful new born baby with her and she was very knowledgable. I picked up a dress and fell in love with it right then and there.
