We needed a new sofa for a small sitting room/playroom, so we visited a few different local furniture stores. When we arrived at Sofa Outlet, we explained what we needed and our parameters, and Mary pointed out several sofas that would fit our needs. She had great advice and was very knowledgable about all the pieces on the floor and was able to quickly answer all our questions (including rattling off measurements for pieces just off the top of her head!). She then gave us space to discuss the options and didn't hover. When we decided on a custom sofa that would work for us, Mary helped us choose fabric (her eye for color and design was so helpful and I am VERY thankful I went with her color recommendation over my initial choice!), and Collette gave us an excellent price. Kim worked patiently with us to write up the order and answer our remaining questions. The custom sofa (crafted in California) arrived earlier than expected--imagine that!--and the delivery service was on time and efficient. The end result looks absolutely beautiful in the room and is far nicer than we expected we could get for our budget. I wholeheartedly recommend Sofa Outlet, especially for custom furniture, and will definitely be a repeat customer in the future! More...

I spent quick a bit of time researching a specific sofa I was seeking and Kim, a sales associate at Sofa Outlet gave me all the time I needed to make an informed decision. She asked me questions, listened to my concerns and in a friendly manner, offered great suggestions. She likes what she does and it shows. "Custom" is really what this place is about and they build their furniture here in California so the wait time is minimal. All good stuff. This place uses sales people who have been in the business for a long time. They know furniture. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Impressive. Finally, their prices are competitive. More...

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. The family loves the Sofa and we know it will last long. Thanks Mary and staff for all the help. Support Family businesses. More...

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 have ordered three sets of couches from here and have never had a problem. The best part is you can pick your material and styles.

Looking for a well-made, quality sofa has been quite the undertaking. With so many different stores to choose from now, along with everything online, furniture shopping is not what it used to be. Sofa Outlet was a god send. Being budget conscious shoppers, Sofa Outlet was perfect for us. Collette was such huge help. She helped us pick a sofa in the size we needed and fabric to go with my husband’s recliner. Definitely ask for Collette when you go in. More...

I just got the most amazing grey modern sectional from this place in San Mateo. I needed something right away. My family is coming next week to stay throughout the holiday season and the only thing I have in my house now is a loveseat. I found a floor sample sectional that was almost exactly what I was looking for. The only thing was that we weren’t looking for a sleeper, but it ended up working out that now my parents didn’t have to sleep on our old air mattress. More...

I Love, Love, Love Sofa Outlet! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Mary and Colette are incredibly helpful. Colette helped me find an absolutely gorgeous rug and the pricing is SO much better than Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and other similiar stores. I love walking through the 2 story store -- there is so much fabulous furniture from beautiful sectionals to home accessories to wall art, lamps and rugs. You literally can custom order almost anything you have seen at one of the other expensive stores at a WAY better price. Also, Colette and Mary are "no pressure" in terms of sales. Best experience furniture shoppiong ever! 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...

In writing my last review I neglected to mention two of Mary's team members by name. Kimi and Sadii have been amazing to partner with. Both demonstrate a collaborative spirit and have really taken into account my tastes and input to help create a home style that is truly representative of our family versus a house that simply looks staged. Slowly, as we have guests, everyone remarks on how great our place looks! BIG thanks to Mary, Collette, Kimi & Sadii from Sofa Outlet in San Mateo for their great design skill and fun personalities!

Don't come here expecting to buy a couch for a couple hundred bucks - Custom is in the name of the business, after all.Do come here if you're thinking of buying a couch from pottery barn or restoration hardware. They can custom make you whatever couch you want, with more options, and at a lower price. American made, if that's important to you. 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. More...

I must say that I have had wonderful experiences with Sofa Outlet. I initially went looking for a sofa. Loved their selection of sofas and patterns. And their showroom is big and beautiful. I bought a sofa and wingback chair that I am completely thrilled with, just gorgeous. I went back for a coffee table and they had things I was looking for and actually pinning on Pinterest. Great selection. And the owner, she was so great. Helped me with design and was so friendly and helpful. If I need more pieces, I would go back yet again. More...

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment we entered the store, our design consultant helped us to focus on what we were looking for. She had a thorough understanding of the products and options in the store and explained them clearly. She stuck with us through our decision process and advised us well so that we made choices that worked for us. She respected our budget and never tried to get us to spend more than we wanted. Our sofa was delivered earlier than scheduled and was exactly what we had ordered with no damages or mistakes. Thanks to the help we got while shopping, it's perfect for our house and we love 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...
