THAT’S ALL I NEED TO KNOW, THANK YOU!
Granted, modern furniture is not my thing but I do enjoy looking at beautiful pieces and great leathers. As we walked into the store, I wanted to explore a bit. The tan leather chair was beautiful and supple with great color.
Next, I decided to sit on the first upholstered sofa I saw because I love testing the quality of the furniture and I want to know how a piece «sits». My husband and I sit on the sofa and we immediately get up. He is able to feel the structure of the piece through the fabric and I notice that as we were getting up the sofa moved. This would be akin to your chicken moving on your plate. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
Quality furniture should never move unintentionally and when you are trying to move it, you should have some difficulty with two people. When it comes to furniture, (especially those foundation pieces), it should be SOLID and made to last a life time. Think about the pieces that are handed down from generation to generation and often sold in consignment shops. They are still around because they are made of solid wood and quality materials.
I don’t know if this one piece of furniture is indicative of the entire collection but to me it spoke volumes and had no place in an Avalon store, (where a certain level of quality should be expected). Why would you put one of your cheapest pieces close to the entrance? Did you really think that no one would try it out?
Keep the highest quality pieces up front so that you have the best representation of your store and so that customers get beyond the front entrance. After we sat on this unfortunate sofa, we didn’t need to see anything else and immediately left. The statement was made loud and clear.
***During the time that we were in the store, we saw no employees although we heard them in the background. No problem, just a note. This review is strictly about the furniture we encountered and not the employees.

I recently went to this furniture shop as I needed some side tables and home décor items. The service is superb — the staff are super friendly and helpful. Also contrary to the $$$$ description, the prices are pretty good compared with places like Cantoni.
What I liked:
1) Clean, modern sleek, European looking furniture. If you like the Italian, clean and sleek design you will love this place.
2) Staff are really helpful and give a concierge like experience. I let them know the kind of look I was interested in, and they helped me with options and had good insight into the pros and cons of different choices. Also they kept the store open to help us even though we walked in a minute after closing time. Was a very courteous experience.
3) Prices are not bad for what they sell
4) Delivery times are pretty good too. Some of the other places I went to were quoting 5 months to get a cocktail table from Italy.
What could be better
1) Selection of artwork and decorative items is limited.
