I purchased a couch expecting firm cushioning, as that was what I ordered and what was described at…read morethe time of sale. Unfortunately, once it was delivered and used, the cushions turned out to be much softer than expected and have already begun to lose their shape. This has impacted both the comfort and support of the couch, and I've had to add wooden boards underneath to make it usable. For a couch at this price point, I was hoping for cushioning that would hold up better over time. Update: 01/26/26 Owner called me and actually came by my house today to reveiw the issue and take the covers in order to replace the cushions! I'm very grateful for their response. Real class act!

I can't wait to buy my next piece - we have like 3 that were just waiting on a sale to buy :-)

We bought 4 chairs for our dining room in December 2021. They are at our dining room table, which…read morewe do not use on a daily basis. These chairs are sat in perhaps once a month, on average. We have no kids at home and my wife and I are both small people at under 140 lbs each. They are lightly used and absolutely not abused. On Mother's Day, we did use the dining room table. I sat down in one of the chairs and the right rear leg fell off. I sat straight down and was suddenly on the floor. Thank goodness it was me and not my 82 year old, frail Mother-in-law. See the photos below. Upon inspection, there was a knot that created a very weak spot in the leg. Only about 1/16 inch "line" of wood needed to break for the leg to fall off. Most of this leg had a gap in the knot when I bought it. I will tell you that I spent the years 2012-2020 in a lab studying mechanical failure, so I actually know this subject really well. Unfortunately, this business owner will not accept responsibility for a defective and dangerous product. In my view, I should be getting a replacement chair. He's claiming that the chair was leaned back on. It wasn't. The pictures tell the story here. The evidence is very strong. I've only been offered 15% off of the purchase of a new chair. Ummm, no, I'm not giving you another $425 of my money. So, if you buy anything here, inspect it well before you take it home.

We happened to see Alpha Design when we were looking at another nearby furniture store. Hans was very relaxed, but able to answer any questions we had. The prices are very reasonable and there are so many choices of sofa and chair styles and fabrics! We ended up really liking a floor model and were able to save by buying a floor model. We didn't like the legs and he was able to change that. We also saw a chair we liked and also bought that floor model. We couldn't believe our luck. Hans is a great. If you know what you want (or even if you don't) and want to be able to pick your fabric and cushion firmness at a reasonable price, we highly recommend this place. Hans loves to ski too!
