What's not to love. I finally bought the vertical bookshelf for my office after years of debating. So happy with it!

We went in looking for dining chairs and had the best experience with Alain and the rest of the crew. Everyone could not have been more helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable. After so many requests on our part, as well as changes due to our schedules, everything with delivery went effortlessly and like clockwork.I am very surprised by some of the negative reviews on here -- but like ALL YELP REVIEWS -- if you read carefully, you can usually tell the spoiled rantings of myopic indulged adults from true critical insight. I'm looking forward one day to the site that shares employee reviews of customers. Now that could be fun reading! Oh and to several young adults with young children -- it is not "cute" to allow your unattended  children to eat in stores; smearing ice cream and ketchup covered little hands on merchandise is nothing but rude. Just sayin.... More...

As an architect, I have been specifying DWR furniture for the past 15 years. Recently, I ordered a few pieces for my own home. I am usually the type of person to order items online - However, it is definitely worth it to go into the store and order from Gary. I had questions on wall security (twin 3-year-olds) and he knew right off the bat that how each item was secured. I was also concerned with being able to order some of the chairs in the future and he was familiar with the history of the manufacturer. We also had slight issue with a table we ordered and the customer service was fantastic. I have always loved the quality and design of the product. And I found the service, from ordering to delivering, exceeded expectations. More...

Working for DWR is great, the benefits are excellent and the pay can be really good. You have to come to work every day prepared to work. .. if you have downtime train yourself on the furniture and learn about the industry. Those who sit and complain are not capable of really figuring out hoe to work in the best possible way. DWR is commission sale and the goals are high, but so are the rewards - between 4 and 6% commission, bonuses and higher payouts when you hit big sales goals. The clients are more sophisticated than most furniture stores, it's harder to sell expensive, original, specialized modern furniture, more so than RH or West Elm made in China copycat what everyone in the neighborhood has. 50% of you time is selling, 20% of your time is problem solving, 30% getting out to meet clients, interior designers or architects. The people who can't make it are the ones who spend time between clients scrolling Instagram, complaining or shopping on line. It's a choice, you have to make the decision to work and the money can be made. More...

This review is for Antonio - he's an amazing SA that helped me and my boyfriend picked the right Herman Miller chairs. We're truly grateful for Antonio's professional advices. He really knows the chairs and is passionate about helping you find the most suitable pieces that fits your budget. I don't usually leave comments for SAs but Antonio definitely deserves the best reference. More...

This rating pertains to DWR not the Atlanta store. My chair was purchased online.Beware of purchasing fromDWR because if you have a problem their customer service is terrible. We purchased a Milo Baughman Recliner ($2900) four years ago. It was my husbands 70th birthday gift. This chair is in a household with two senior adults, no children, no pets.The mechanism for the footrest no longer closes properly. Filled out a customer service form after an online chat with customer service. The online form did not have the option to add photos. The online chatter told me I could send pictures once I had a claim number.A few days later I received any email saying they received my information and would forward it to product support team. We offered to send pictures, no response.Three days later the internal support team decided the chair was out of warranty. A $2900 chair shouldn't have a mechanical problem after only 4 years. They offered a 15% discount on any new full price purchase I would like to make. BIG DEAL, they have a 15% off sale on line right now. This is not customer service. Not buying anything from them again.After Ms Salerno reached out to us and with the assistance of their customer service department we now have a new chair to replace the defective one.Thank to John from customer service More...

I purchased a very expensive Reid sectional sofa upholstered in wool.  It is one of the most comfortable sofas that I've ever owned.  When it arrived the legs on the chaise section were not correctly placed and the connectors for the two pieces were both male so the two pieces couldn't be connected.   It took them over 3 moths to order the correct connectors and schedule for someone to replace the connectors and move the legs. I also ordered a white marble Tipi table.   The piece of marble arrived cracked.  It took two month for the replacement marble to arrive which was chipped.  Also order a Herman Miller Eases molded plywood side chair in rosewood. It arrived in perfect condition.  They have great products but they definitely have issues with some of their manufacturers. The sofa is manufactured in Tennessee, I think, and before shipping things such as leg placement and connectors should be checked. More...

DWR Outlet was a fun to work for under the previous management team. Everyone was straight forward and lead you in the right direction. New management is creating issues between the team, are only focus in sales, versus what needs to actually drive the business. Does not listen to feedback.
Overall a great company to work for upper management are great to work for. Middle management is the issue.

We outfitted most of our new downtown condo with furniture from Design Within Reach.  Brock Williams, who works at the North Avenue location, helped us with what to get, how to position the furniture and color choices we wouldn't have considered on our own.  He has been amazing as we have waited to receive all of our furniture.  There were many glitches with the ordering (they lost our order for our Dining Room chairs) but Brock was available nearly 24/7 for us to figure it out.  Not only is he talented in what he does, went above and beyond the call of duty by being at our beck and call for our orders.  DWR would get 5 stars except the shipping and receiving and delivery process is not easy and takes exceedingly long.  Even though their "system" says something is in stock and will ship immediately, this was often NOT the case and was extremely frustrating.Brock gets 5 stars, DWR only 3.

My husband and I went to DWR last month in the height of our excitement for being first time homeowners. The first associate I saw was Juan Carlos, and I am so happy it was him, because he spent the whole time we were there discussing different design options, product selections, quality of different products and brands and more. I was devastated that after a long winded discussion I had with myself and husband, DWR was not within our budget- if it was, I would have bought the whole store, Juan Carlos within it. More...

However, from the beginning somebody, named Gerardo, helped me with the item that I was looking for. Not only that, but he found it in the color I wanted, which was not in the internet. The parking spot for clients was also a plus! Really happy with my whole experience in DWR! More...

I'm a pretty harsh critic but not sure I understand the negative reviews in this case. I had some pieces I wanted to look at in mind and Clara was very helpful in showing me them and letting me play around with the interiors until I decided what would work best for my space. I did buy the Edel credenza but did not feel pressured to do so. Sure, you could buy the same thing online...but it strikes me as foolish to pay the same amount of money only to have a less humanized, personal experience than visiting the store offers. To address a criticism I saw in other reviews - it's a high end store and offers a level of service commensurate with that price point. Being offered a beverage in such a store is not overbearing; it's exactly what I would expect. More...

I was hoping to purchase a couple of Hee Lounge chairs from HAY and was disappointed when there weren't any in the store to to try. Same thing with the Strap Mirror (also designed by HAY).The sales consultant wasn't familiar with the mirror and said he didn't think they carried it. I told him they did and was surprised when he found it on his tablet. Oh boy. The same guy told me that DWR purchased HAY. What?Herman Miller acquired DWR in 2014 and last year they purchased a 33% stake in HAY.This kid rubbed me the wrong way as you can tell but don't get me wrong. I've purchased from DWR in Toronto on several occasions. My experience has always been first rate and without attitude. Until now. More...

I bought a pendant light that broke one year after purchase. DWR tried a few times unsuccessfully to get in touch with the manufacturer of this fixture but they never returned calls (Mfr shall remain nameless). Fortunately, Rainier Fuentes, the manager of DWR-Manhasset, felt badly and offered to take the pendant back for store credit after more than one year. He and his staff were always interested and polite when I called to follow up about the manufacturer and returned my calls within one day. I was surprised in a great way when Mr. Fuentes offered to take back the light fixture. I used to hear a great company works very hard to keep their customers happy and Manhasset DWR certainly did that. Mr. Fuentes really cared and showed he truly wants his customers to be happy.

I can hardly think of a place where I have received better, more capable, friendlier service. And the chair I bought there makes me happy. I work at a computer, and my neck had begun to tighten and hurt whenever I typed at length. The problem was my chair. After a little research, I found four stores in the Denver area that sell desk chairs that promised good to my sore neck. Denver is basically a two-hour drive from home, so I made a day of it. Of the four stores, Design Within Reach was the only one that carries Herman Miller (HM) office chairs. Aimee, the store proprietor, showed me the complete HM office-chair product line. After a good half hour discussing and trying alternatives, I settled on the "Aeron" chair; but our work was not done yet. The chair comes in three sizes and features a variety of settings. Aimee spent another half hour teaching me how to adjust them all, then set me in front of a laptop to type for an additional half hour in order to get a good sense of the chair's effect on my neck pain. (And, lo and behold! No pain.) After all that, I was fairly confident that HM's Aeron was the chair for me, and very confident that Design Within Reach would back it up with more help if needed. After visiting another store that carries a different chair, I emailed Aimee to proceed with my order. Soon enough, the chair arrived, and I've been working in it happily for a couple weeks now.But then there was a glitch - sort of. The manufacturer sent me a second chair just like the first one. I was thinking of driving to Denver for another reason anyway, so I telephoned Aimee, and she invited me to bring the extra chair her way. She would take care of returning it. So I did, and in the process, Aimee gave me another tutorial on adjusting the settings. I am so pleased with the service bestowed upon me by Aimee (and briefly, Amanda, another staff member), that I left the store half hoping that some of our home furniture would break down so my wife and I could come back.I love my new Herman Miller Aeron chair! And I highly recommend the Cherry Creek Design Within Reach store. More...
