I bought a couch here tonight. What a wonderful experience I had. Diane Demyanovich is an exceptional Saleswoman. She made the whole process so easy for me. She helped me pick out the perfect couch for my very specific situation that required particular criteria. She gave me all the answers I was looking for. She was so kind and explained things so well. I'm so grateful for all of her help and I'm so excited for the new couch to arrive tomorrow. Thank you, Diane, and thank you to everyone at Gardner-White!

We needed 2 new electric power recliners to replace broken ones. Anya and Erica were both very patient and helpful. I explained what we were looking for and they showed us those recliners. Unfortunately, they didn't meet our needs. However, they showed us others in the recliner section and clearance center. We found what we were looking for and purchased them. They also explained their delivery policy and directly answered questions about the differences between their regular price section and clearance center. Overall, a great experience. However, we were extremely disappointed with their prices.
They are much higher, even in the clearance center, than Art Van, which is now out of business. We ended up paying over $2500 for 2 recliner chairs, including delivery, which is $150. And we only live 7 minutes away from the store! I was hoping to get an additional discount since we were buying 2 chairs or free delivery since we are so nearby the store.

Pulled the plug and bought a new sectional. or so I thought. Ordered in store their shelby township MI location. I ordered a sectional, matching ottoman and rug on March 30th. EVERYTHING in stock. When they delivered it the rug and ottoman were correct BUT the sectional was a completely different color. They apologized and were going to come back the next day with the correct one. GUESS WHAT? THEY DELIVERED THE SAME WRONG SECTIONAL!
Oh and it gets worse it is not in stock. Part of it is but part of it is not. I've been given dates several times of when to expect it in stock and it keeps getting pushed out. I called earlier and now I'm being told middle of June. I am so frustrated and angry. I was told to take partial delivery because I can take the risk of what is currently in stock also not being in stock once the other piece finally comes in. OR go back to the store and shop! Ummmm they have had my money since March and I have no couch. Beyond furious

Best experience I've had with a furniture store! We bought two beautiful couch sets for incredibly good deals (Christine D was very helpful and accommodating!) The white glove delivery was also very efficient, polite and affordable as well. Highly recommend this store!
