M haimeiyou: I purchased a mattress from these people, which is advertised to keep its strength and firmness for over 20 years. Well, after five years it grew very soft and offers no support. I contacted the store and they asked me a bunch of questions and promised to do something. I followed up and they said they would get back to me. This went on for over six months before they stopped responding to emails and stopped returning my calls.In short, their mattresses are poor quality, customer service is lacking, and they do not honor their guarantees.

Alex Mac Levine: Absolutely wonderful place. They have great products at great prices. Highly recommend that you check them out!

Hannah Fletcher: Got a custom bookshelf from Door Store and it turned out great! The ordering process was easy, staff very polite and helpful. Plus, the lead time was super fast! Very happy with how it turned out, highly recommend this place

Sally Buta: Another great experience with Dawn and the whole team. They designed and built a gorgeous custom game storage system to fit perfectly in our cabin. (Board game nerd alert!)The small pencil drawers at the top are just perfect. Addition.

Douglas Dodds: We've been doing business with the Door Store for more than 50 years, and are delighted that they are still there, selling the same good furniture and components. We furnished a 3-decker with almost a dozen door-desks. In our new downsized apartment, we needed a good three-layer printer table; the Door Store came through again, with a good-looking, solid table in Melamine and cherry. Fabulous place! Thanks to the store and to Dawn for continuing this great tradition.

Eliot Frank: The tables and desks are beautiful with simple lines. Nothing ornate. Just wooden furniture at reasonable prices. The store is a small funky place that is rare even in Cambridge.

Shannon West: The staff are kind and helpful. I bought a custom walnut desk and couldn’t be happier. Thank you.

Beth Redmond Walsh: They specialize in doing custom built tables with unique tops you can select from their inventory in-store or specify something built to fit your personal style.

Lisa Landaw: We’re so appreciative of Dawn, Mario, Ava and Sadie, as well as everyone else we encountered at the Door Store. The whole team was a dream to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our custom table and new bar height swivel stools. They helped us pick from an assortment of beautiful table tops which they then cut down to size. They were incredibly knowledgeable with helping us choose a design for custom-length legs. From start to finish we always felt like we were in great hands and got exactly what we wanted. They were communicative and thoughtful in all our interactions. We look forward to spending many years enjoying our lovingly made GORGEOUS furniture. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Bill Riley: BEWARE OF MANAGER… she lacks any ounce of customer friendly support. Other employees I interacted with were very helpful. It’s a shame… as this store has a good reputation. Ownership needs to promote another good employee to manager and replace the existing one or they will continue to lose sales. Manager approached a small table-top project with a “we can’t do that” and “it will take 6-8 weeks minimum” attitude. She then said it could not be done within 10 days (big difference between 8 weeks and 10 days). P.s. when I called to see if they were open on a Sunday she said don’t come at 4:45pm (as they close at 5pm). Shop elsewhere… until they replace existing manager.

Susan Hall: We just got a beautiful maple butcher block kitchen table to replace one we bought here over 25 years ago! The delivery and assembly were quick, professional, and safe. Photo attached.

Katie: The Door Store is an amazing local business. They made a custom cherry butcher block dining table for us and is just gorgeous. Their prices are very reasonable as well. A tad higher than Crate & Barrel/West Elm/etc, but the product is way nicer, made locally, and the wood is ethically sourced. The Door Store also delivered our table a week ahead of schedule. Lastly, their customer service is phenomenal; when we had a small issue with our table, they fixed it promptly and were easy to work with. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Noah Selsby: I was trying to find the right TV console and remembered that the Door Store makes custom pieces and made a fantastic bookshelf for me years ago. I called them and Dawn was exceptionally patient in listening to what I had in mind, looking at my drawings, and then providing me with a clear to understand diagram which I could then mark up with changes (of which I had few since she understood everything I wanted).Their team built it lightning fast and the delivery team was superb. While you do pay a little extra for a custom made piece, it is so well constructed I expect it will last me a lifetime and definitely a better investment than some poorly made stuff. Best of all, I sent her a picture of the bookshelf and they matched it so that it will age similarly and tie the room together!Support of local business is more important now than ever and you will NOT regret supporting the Door Store!

Subit Chakrabarti: I've had great experiences at the Door store! They made me a beautiful butcher block coffee table that is the highlight of my living room. They also helped me with some other woodworking projects that I cant undertake myself in my tiny city apartment. They definitely did not need to help out there - but Dawn is amazing and super helpful at everything ! If you need a table made out of wood, do NOT go to Ikea or Article or West Elm or CB2 or Overstock. These guys will hook you up locally with something that looks 10 times better, lasts 100 times longer and is only slightly more expensive (if so). Both times, they delivered FAR ahead of the due date. I literally cannot recommend them enough.

David Benjamin: We bought two desks and a dining room table from the door store and couldn't happier. Dawn amazing! She was super patient in answering all of our questions and helping us choose the furniture and arranging delivery. The desks and table are very high quality and look amazing.

Lorna Gibson: Just wanted to write to say how much I love the new table top you made for me - solid oak, stained to match the base/legs that I already had from an old table that had sentimental value for me (I’ve had it since 1973, when I first started university, and later, as a professor, I wrote my first two academic books at it). The new table top replaced the old one that was falling apart with the veneer peeling off. The new table top is beautiful! I write at it every day and love it! Thanks so much for doing such a great job.

Spencer Marks: The first desk I bought from The Door Storewas about 30 years ago (a butcher book top and simple legs - prefect for the just out of college student looking for apartment furnishing). It has traveled with through serval homes and is still in use. Over the years, I have purchased a a few more desk tops as well as some fablous quality and reasonably priced dinning room table chairs here. (Anyone who has shopped for dinning room chairs knows that high quality and reasonable price don't typically go together). Anyway, I was just back, updating my home office after a long spell, and I am happy to report that the Door Store is still the same wonderful place I remember. Really super helpful, yet laid back people. Beautiful, high quality desks and tables that are remarkably affordable. They do custom work, or as in my case, will customize what you purhcase. I am now thrilled with my adjustable height desk. Just what I needed since it looks like I'll be working from home for the long term. They also have quirky pieces that are fun many with an asian flare. Anyway, I don't normally write reviews unless I feel the place / business is special and The Door Store definitely is. As you can see, I can't say enough good stuff about this place. Definitley worth a visit.

Stefanie Tellex: They installed a beautiful bookshelf in my house and even came over and fixed it after there were issues with the house settling (which was not their fault). Strongly recommend!

Julia Breslin Foster: I made a relatively last-minute decision to use butcher block instead of stone for our peninsula and went to the Door Store for help. They were incredibly patient as I worked through the size we needed, as well as which finish is best/most practical for our family. They delivered weeks earlier than the other bids and the quality was beyond perfection. I could not have been happier with the customer service and quality of goods -- Dawn in particular knew her stuff and was willing to help. Thanks, Door Store! This butcher block *makes* our kitchen.

Penny: Gorgeous & cute. Many cute Japanese-style furniture, lamps, and decorations.

John Beresford: Small and a bit expensive but with excellent quality and a range of very interesting furniture.

Tracey Zellmann: I have been going here for desks and bookcases for as long as I can remember ( 50 years at least) Currently, they adapt their designs to what I need and the pieces look great and work well in our house.

Rai H.: 😎how many times have I been to this place? 5+👩🏻summary: got most of furniture pieces from DWR.💬service: Michael was friendly and helpful.💁🏻‍♀️would I revisit this place? Yes

Stavros Macrakis: High quality at very high prices. Large airy space, helpful staff.

Raphael Matto: I had the best service experience of my life at this DWR (I’m mid-40s). The staff is wonderful! I worked with Adam L & purchased about 15 items over a 1/2 year period to furnish my new apartment. This was smack in the middle of the pandemic when there were heaps of supply chain & availability issues. Some of the items arrived quickly, within a couple weeks, others were delayed by months. Adam set expectations & guided me through all of it, provided updates, made sure I was getting the best sale prices, rushed to correct a couple mistakes for free (I’d forgotten to specify the leg color on a desk, and a table showed up in a different wood), and offered an incredible discount on one item I’d ordered that changed manufacturing locations & looked a bit different. He was so knowledgeable, helpful, and patient, esp with fabric choices, and some waffling on my part trying to decide between chair and sectional sizes. It really was the best retail experience I’ve ever had, both with the build-quality & beautiful design of my purchases and with the service—I’m so happy with how my apt turned out. I also worked with Andrew on a couple days when Adam was out, he is so relaxed & great, too, & the store manager, Margaret, who is wonderful, warm & friendly—she extended a sale date for me, & pulled some strings in a tricky situation. Delivery crews were also fantastic, navigating everything up a narrow steep staircase to my attic apt, and assembling everything quickly & expertly right there. One piece of advice: it’s good to know which type of delivery service an item is attached to—some usually larger items are linked to “white glove” delivery & can be partially unpacked in the street to squeeze them up tight spaces, & are assembled on-site. Other crews (standard service?) are only allowed to leave items on a front porch if they don’t fit in a door or up a staircase. So I’d recommend asking which type of delivery service an item is attached to, otherwise you might be confused or disappointed when something is left on your porch instead of being brought in. Anyway, highly recommended! I will always purchase through the store & not online for anything significant, it just really helps to have someone from the local store in your corner in case something needs to be returned, or to get status updates, etc. & I like knowing I’m helping out the local branch :)

Vicki Klein: We bought an Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. Everything went so well until delivery was backed up and communication with our salesperson/manager fell apart. We were told one thing and then another. We had to chase down people in charge for answers. They couldn't even get the delivery on time after they screwed up. Now we are trying to return the chair and ottoman and need to pay for the return and restocking fees. It's been a week since we've heard from anyone after our salesperson said a pickup would be scheduled earlier this week. Even today, after being promised someone would call, no one has. For the price we paid for this chair and ottoman, and for the price we now have to pay in return fees, the customer service (or lack thereof) is so ridiculous that I can't imagine anyone wanting to invest in this store for anything. Everything should be top notch at these prices especially the customer service "white glove" treatment. It's been a total headache. Never again.

Fang Z. Ni: We ordered and paid for a TALL Eames Lounge Chair. 3 weeks later a SHORT Eames Lounge Chair was delivered. When we complained, we were told the correct TALL Eames chair will be available in 3 months and swapped.... 3 months pass and they AGAIN delivered the SHORT Eames Lounge Chair. At this point I am speechless. Design Within Reach should invest in some quality control measures.

Grace Fu: Great looks and furnitures in it, but they are really expensive!

Andrea Iriarte: The furniture is beautiful. You can buy pieces that you could not get anywhere else, by great designers. The price point is higher, but you are buying great quality and design. The sales persons are quite knowledgeable and helpful. The have private parking in the back of the store.

Ron Scozzafava: Great attentive service. One style of furniture either you like it or not. Huge plus: There is a small parking lot for customers in the back

Toni Walker: It has excellent furniture selection. Not within my budget but if I could I definitely would

Alan Fried: Drove down from Maine to shop for a couch. Was a small line of about 4 parties. We stood there for 20 minutes with no communication from the store about what was going on. There was NOONE in the store. Then a guy comes, takes in the first party in line, and tells the next party it might be 15-20 minutes. So maybe an hour wait for us? But who knows? There was NO commuication. They clearly didn't give a damn about communicating with us. We could easily have been browsing in the store. Or have people make appointmemts. Just terrible cistomer service. Really disaapponting. We won't go back.

Maylee Austin: Excellent customer service, best furniture!

Drew Cameron: Pricey, but the staff is very helpful and enthusiastic about their products. Adam had great advice and a surprising amount of background knowledge about the item I was interested in.

E Marshall: Well laid out store,lovely (if pricey) modern design furniture and other items, knowledgeable staff

Fern LTTC: Great group of people. I've worked with them as an independent contractor and I just can't say enough good about each individual there (Gary, Todd, Adam etc)

montepilot: Great store with unique designs. Found the perfect Herman Miller chair. Many thanks to Bobby Valentine for his helpful information.

ALEJANDRO HERNANDEZ-LOPEZ: Great colors and designs!

Linda Nelson: The most helpful and knowledgeable staff in any furniture store. Timeless designs that are well made.

David Ortega: Nice Spot, Very pretty furniture.

Josh B: This Design Within Reach store is clean and well-stocked to check out man options for mid-century modern or contemporary style furniture. As noted in some reviews, the prices are more than what you might pay at a discount or Swedish-style chain. However, the quality easily makes up the difference. This is furniture that will look and feel good in one's house for a generation or more.In particular, Bobby Valentine has been a joy to work with when purchasing furniture. He's lightning-fast to respond with a quote and helpful with a good suggestion. He's the reason we're willing to make the trip into the city and visit this location.

Stefano Barbier: Great store, great style

Pierre Jean: This place is truly a hidden gem! Beautiful, high quality furniture at amazing prices. We first bought a teak bedroom set, and ended up coming back for an office desk and chairs for our living room and kitchen. It has been a pleasure working with the family that owns the store. They provide great service all the way from helping with picking the right furniture to the delivery and assembly!

Jane Whitmore: What a great place to buy furniture!! --gorgeous designs of well built furniture from a family business that aims to do right by each customer and the environment. The value for the price is extraordinary.

Stewart Craig: We had a first class experience at Artisan Interiors! Axelle and colleagues were professional, informative, and highly personable, but not pushy. The products are super stylish, functional, one-of-a-kind, and top quality built to last. They went out of their way to look into custom sizing and even inquired about the rate for a U-Haul which we decided to lease to deliver our furniture. Ditch the impersonal service and poor quality found at big box retailers and check this place out. Thank you, Artisan interiors, for an amazing experience!!

Kelsey Derricks: Cannot get over how much we love this shop. The quality of the furniture is superb and the prices unexpected for what you get. They helped us customize our dining room table and it looks like something out of a high end design magazine. We look forward to it hopefully being our forever table. Customer service is spot on making the entire experience memorable. We cannot wait to work with them again in the future.

Alex Popstefanov: Stumbled on Artisan Interiors while we stopped at Iggy’s for fresh sourdough. A welcoming sign greeted us across the street and we were pleasantly surprised to find a warehouse full of quality furniture and a friendly face in Axelle. We immediately fell in love with this wabi teak chest. It was refreshing to shop in person and discover such a unique piece. I’ve already gotten a ton of inquiries about it.Will be back for more!

Laura Burns: I'm so glad we found this place! My family just moved into a new home and have been looking all over for furniture that is high quality, available in a reasonable amount of time, and fits our personal taste. We loved walking around the showroom and looking at what Artisan Interiors had to offer, with Axelle as our friendly, helpful guide. I would highly recommend Artisan Interiors - especially if you're looking for someplace where items are in stock! As an added bonus, the pieces we purchased are made from reclaimed wood, so they are both unique and eco-friendly.

kyle kolesnikoff: Built to last, nice centerpiece to the room. Good, strong sturdy wood that just looks great.

Axelle Dervisevic: A family owned-and-operated furniture store, specializing in imported and custom-made pieces. Connected to Sincere Construction, offering clients a holistic home services experience from renovation to decoration.

Julia Shifrin: Had the wonderful experience of visiting Artisans Trading! Such stunning furniture and welcoming staff. The pieces are truly unique and one of a kind, at such an affordable price. I know I will be coming back to furnish more of my house with these one of a kind furniture pieces. If you are in the Cambridge area this is a must see shop!

Dylan Mess: I recently purchased a few pieces from Artisan and I love them. All hand crafted and great quality. For the style and craftsmanship the price was a about a third of what you normally would pay. The guys over there are friendly and helpful, if your looking for nice wood furniture I definitely recommend checking them out.

Krum Kuzmov: The place to go if you are looking for truly unique furniture. A lot of teak and reclaimed wood pieces at good prices.

Marie McDonnell: Great experience and product. I was eyeing two pieces for a bit and finally decided to purchase both a reclaimed wood/metal desk and a console cabinet. I always wanted to have an open space for firewood in a low cabinet in the living room that also served the usual role of housing the TV appliances and other living room stuff. Baylor was willing to alter the beautiful teak cabinet for this and in the end I had exactly what I wanted. The price for his custom piece was about half of the major furniture stores and incredibly unique. Will be back!

Larry Logan: Always great doing business with them.

Caterina Strambio De Castillia: Loved the furniture. Beautiful, Hand made and fair trade. Cannot go wrong

Baylor Bennett: Handcrafted hardwood furniture at wholesale prices. Beautiful stuff!
