Reviews
"I am really happy that they have something like this for people like myself that sometimes just can't afford something full price but this particular place never has anything there's a marble table for $250 that if you touch it it's going to fall over No chairs to match no bedroom sets things that are broken and they want big bucks for them I don't understand. How is this helping anyone when there's nothing there to choose from except a bunch of lounge chairs like my dad had when he was younger and not to say it's a bad thing"
"I bought a sofa here pair I believe 300ish give or take I was called 20 minutes after and they told me that since their employees made a mistake and placed the wrong sign on the couch I would have to pay the difference which I believe was 40 dollars but mind you all their furniture are donated after I picked up my recliner sofa it no longer worked the cables where cut and I believe 100 percent they cut it trying to be petty management is sooo rude"
"You can buy used and discounted furniture here if you meet their income requirements. They have an OK selection, and they also have some other discounted non-furniture household items. They used to deliver to your home, but now because of CoVid they leave the furniture outside your home. They used to accept walk-ins, but now youneed to make an appointment because of CoVid."
"So many couches, sectionals, recliners. Even a few free items to the rear of the store. Cash and carry. They do deliver for a fee."
"You go to a furniture store for their inventory system and display. You also pay a higher price. You go to the Furniture Bank Of Rhode Island for a deal, and a wide variety of furniture that is reasonably priced, and to support programs that help people, and to browse a lot without having to empty your pockets. You would go here to be a part of a community that reuses quality, pre-owned items. The employees I met were kind and helpful. They greeted me and let me do my thing as I browsed. One of the best parts about this place was the signs they had posted up that helped shoppers consider the process of transferring the bulky furniture. Being that it is not a full service retail store, you might have difficulty finding a way to bring it home. This is where doing your homework is important. The signs in the store ask about your plans tonbring the furniture home: do you have enough space in your vehicle; does the furniture fit through your home doors; etc. I like this place, it's like furniture-shopping-lite, all of the flavor with less of the calories."
