Great shopping experience! Highly recommend BOTH for the BIF Team as well as their gorgeous products. We worked with Sharon, Robert and Julie and at all times felt like our best interest/product satisfaction was their primary concern, not their commission, not getting us sold with high pressure. To be clear, when I say the BIF team, I mean Sharon, Robert and Julie worked as a cohesive team to meet our needs - it was seamless. What a refreshing experience!

I'm very happy with the couch that Sharon Crane helped me order! Her knowledge of custom furniture has made such a big difference. She addressed all of my concerns and I will be a repeat customer! Sharon is an exceptional salesperson! Thank you bright ideas.

When my husband stumbled upon a Danish table for our dining room, we had no idea a store in the area stocked it. When we visited the store, we were blown away by the many fun, practical, and exquisitely beautiful items we found in the showroom. The service and care from the professional team is top notch. Well done! I was excited to share our find with a friend who is also looking to finish designing her home.

I really enjoyed shopping at Bright Ideas today. The service was outstanding. We looked at several pieces yet I never felt pressure to buy. The furniture and accessories are high quality, beautiful, and unique. I found a desk chair that feels like a cloud. Julie showed me all of the features and I couldn't pass it up! I can't wait to work from home this winter. Thank you for a great afternoon of shopping. I'll be a loyal customer and send my friends to Bright Ideas as well.

I was looking for a very specific model of media console/TV stand (BDI Corridor 8173) and saw that Bright Ideas was a retailer for that manufacturer. I wanted to go with a local retailer rather than order online because it was a relatively pricey item and didn't want to risk the headache of having to ship it back to someone in the event of a defect. I called Bright Ideas and spoke to Sharon. It was a special order item. Sharon got me a quote and lead time right away. It was well worth the wait. The white glove delivery was also very reasonably priced and the deliverymen were great. I couldn't be happier with the product and service!
