Due to two moves in less than 4 months I was "sofa-less" and on a tight budget. Collette worked with me and got me the sofa of my dreams. It was delivered earlier than expected and it looks fantastic in my little living room. Will go back for a coffee table and armchair! More...

Bought our sofa over a year ago and it's still going strong. After visiting over 10 different furniture stores around the Bay Area we landed in here. I was impressed with the variety of sectionals they had, prices were reasonable, and the service was great. I'd definitely go back here again to buy another piece of furniture. More...

Mary has a great eye for design. We actually used her for her Design services at Mary Seaton Interiors (same location), but ended up buying a Sofa off of her during the process, which was simple and easy.

Customer at Sofa Outlet.Palo Alto, Ca After buying a sweetheart of a fixer-upper in a beautiful, coveted part of the SF Bay Area, I was super excited about re-creating the space to make it a home my family and I couldn't wait to return to, a home in which we would entertain often, a place to create a new set of memories. Truth be told, I think I have pretty good taste and I do love to shop! But I found that shopping to redecorate and remodel was a whole other level than say, shopping for clothes or even a home accessory here or there.Admittedly, when I first went to the sofa outlet in San Mateo, I was feeling a little overwhelmed. They were the 4th or 5th stop that day and as I wandered around the showroom I was in a bit of the daze. Kimi approached me, let me know she'd be there to help and just welcomed me to walk around. There was no pressure, just a very casual friendliness. That day we left without purchase, went home, had a glass of wine and called it a wrap. I went back to the sofa outlet the very next day. We'd seen a couch there that caught our eye, we wanted something a little different/unique so I went for a second look.Thankfully, Kimi was working that day as well. I asked her to see the couch, we talked about it and the next thing I knew she was helping me customize both the couch and a beautiful, comfy and sophisticated leather recliner. That was 5 months ago and today my home is even lovelier then I could've imagined.The team at sofa outlet has provided exceptional guidance on many levels, including design, aesthetics, continuity and flow. They are always mindful of budget and so they help us to prioritize, mixing custom-made pieces with "off-the-shelf," with creative ways to incorporate certain existing pieces. I've had the privilege of working directly with Kimi and Sadii, both of whom are creative, enthusiastic and very collaborative designers, they've been a dream team! More...

I love this place! I often just go in to look around because it is just so pretty. Recently I needed counter height chairs and had something specific in mind. I called and they had what I was looking for so I went in and picked out what I wanted. First off, the price was great! Way less than what I was expecting to spend for WAY better quality than you get a a big box store. I was told 3-4 weeks to receive them. Only took a week! Perfect timing as we had guests coming in and I was late in ordering new chairs for my dining table. Would definitely recommend, they are very nice and will greet you even if you walk in looking frazzled, no make up and rocking yoga pants. More...

These people have a good eye for design.  I know there are a few cheaper "custom" sofa shops around.  But this place has an expansive showroom and the sales people have great ideas.  Which is worth the extra $ because when you're designing a custom piece IMO, professional input can save you time and money in the long run.Because of the odd shape of my room, I needed a curved sofa.  Most of the ones I saw online were $5000K.  I didn't want to spend $5K for a formal living room because I knew that we wouldn't use that room on a regular basis.I brought some photos of the couches I wanted to duplicate.  And the team spent over an hour helping me customize every aspect of the final design.  They even kept it at my budget of $3K.  Even though I don't use the sofa much, it's a beautiful piece and it brings a smile to my face whenever I walk pass it.

My Mother and I came in here on Mother's Day during my couch hunting. I am extremely picky about couch cushions. Sofa Outlet did not have a filling that met my softness standards so I did not buy from here. However, it's only fair to Yelp them for a few good reasons.1. We were politely greeted and assisted by the gals at the front desk. One of them (I do not remember her name but she seemed in charge) was kind enough to take me around the ENTIRE store (downstairs and upstairs) to have me sit on the couches to test the cushion comfort. I was a bit bitter and bitchy not being able to find what I was looking for and I still got the "customer = right"  attitude which I am sure was not deserved on my end but greatly appreciated. She could of just gave up on me but didn't.2. They have a huge display of couches and some other furniture. Their products are quality. My Mom has a custom made sofa set from them and loves it. Their prices are average for custom couch/furniture stores. If you want something nice expect to pay at least a moderate price. They do offer a lot of sales so look for those if you are on a budget. You can also see them on Craigslist a lot like a previous poster mentioned but complained about. Lighten up, it's called making and keeping business so they can keep their jobs and feed their families. Advertisement is part of business!3. I was mailed a very sweet card and $25 gift card for their store about a week after my visit. This was unexpected and appreciated. I had gotten a price for one couch I was possibly considering and filled out a little paper with my contact info for follow up communication if need be. That's how they got my address.. no stalkers just sweet hearts. Short review because I only had a short visit and experience here but I would recommend this place to others even if I didn't score my dream couch here. I noticed some not so nice reviews here and feel it's best you just go to the store and see for yourself. Skipping a visit here over a few sour reviews may cause you to miss out on furniture you may fall in love with.Location and parking are easy to find. Treat yourself to a piece of free Half Moon Bay salt water taffy on your way in and on your way out ;) More...

My daughter found this shop when she admired a friends new sofa in Menlo Park. She suggested it to me as i was about to buy some new upholstered items for our cottage. I brought in my iPad and Pinterest and Houzz  inspiration pages. We quickly found what i was looking for and i could immediately see  the rooms as we decided on fabrics. I made just two trips to the store. I left a small deposit..everything arrived right on time and were white glove delivered, put together and placed. All packing materials were taken away. Anyone who has ordered from Pottery Barn know about packaging and the benefit of it all gone. I have lived with the sectional, sofa, 4 big chairs , California King fully upholstered bed and Queen bed for weeks now and absolutely love everything...and i am picky. I believe the total price for my items was easily 20 % lower if i had bought at pottery barn or Ethan Allen. Ethan allen has a 8 -12 week delivery. Sofa Outlet...2-3! The fact its all made here in the USA is important...and the quality of matched stripes, contrast welting and no loose threads...makes this shop  a  definite find. I will return and buy more from these wonderful women who really want to find or make the items for you. If you come with a concept..they will make it happen. Go! More...

I really can't understand the negative reviews.  Every single aspect of working with Sofa Outlet was excellent for me.I saw a couch online and went in to check it out. The girls there were so helpful in helping me select the right couch for my space, and then in helping me to pick the right fabric. Then they suggested custom pillows and they were awesome at helping me pick out colors and patterns that worked. Even though the whole thing was so overwhelming I was in and out in an hour or so.Delivery came in 2.5 weeks, with the delivery driver making great plans to meet me at home. Everything arrived in perfect condition and better than I could have imagined. I won't hesitate to work with them again.  I had almost gone to Macy's because they had a sale and for the same amount or a little more I got exactly what I wanted. And the prices were excellent. If I had gotten something similar at Crate and Barrel I would have paid double easily. More...

I'm surprised to read some of the reviews here. I bought my sofa from this store around a decade ago, and it's been awesome. I remember the experience well. Funny (because of some of the reviews), I do recall the women in the store being a little standoffish (I was in my early-20s). They were definitely more interested in the happy couples strolling around than little old me, but once they realized I was a serious buyer, they helped me find what I wanted and pick fabrics etc. I also remember getting the sofa quickly and the whole thing being pretty easy and the price was great.I also remember the friend who told me about them saying they get busy because they were popular with interior decorators. Not sure if that holds true today though.My sofa has been well-loved and has held up very well. I'm actually now hoping I can get a matching loveseat and a new cover for the old one so they match perfectly. Cushions (down) are still as good as ever.I invest in my furniture and buy stuff from quality dealers and the Design Center in SF, and at least years ago, the workmanship here was excellent. I'll update this review once I get the loveseat. More...
