We now love our master bedroom with the help of Kandis! After a short stint with Covid we decided our MB needed a major update. Kandis was fantastic to work with. I went in to see her on multiple occasions and she had all the patience in the world and listened to what we liked and disliked. Cabot House furniture is really the best quality and Kandis's expertise and patience made the remodel even easier. Thank you Kandis for making our MB a dream!

Both couches in my home plus my coffee table are from Cabot House. Two couches and a chair in my rental property are from there as well. My experience with Cabot house is consistently A+! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know customers and their design style. I have found excellent items on sale as well. I couldn't be happier and will not but furniture anywhere else!

I would highly recommend The Framingham Cabot House. I worked with Mary Stefanides, and she was incredibly knowledgable - particularly with the details that I may not have considered - and worked quickly with excellent communication. I will go back to her for all of our furniture needs.

I had a wonderful experience with Katie Hooper and Catherine Pezzelli at the Rhode Island store, who offered professional design advice, perfect follow through and quality furniture.

Designer Mary Stefanides took the stress out of my living room "refresh." She was receptive to my ideas, and quickly guided me to the manufacturers and products that would suit both the project and my budget. Her enthusiasm for design is infectious and it was a pleasure to tour the Cabot House showroom in Framingham with her. Mary gave me some great options and advice, and it was truly a collaborative process. She replied promptly to my questions and concerns, and at decision time she walked me through the ordering process with calm professionalism and intense focus on the details.

We had such a great experience working with Melanie to completely furnish our new home. Cabot House has such a large variety. Melanie helped us as she quickly understood our style goals and presented us with many options and also pushed us a bit out of our comfort zone in such a great way. We are so happy with how our new home looks and functions to support our lifestyle. Thanks Melanie!

I'm so in love with my new table and chairs! Catherine Pezzelli was so helpful and wonderful to work with! She has a true artist's eye for color and design. I was so tired of looking at my old table and chairs during the quarantine. Catherine brought everything to my house and helped me make the right choice for my home. I'm looking forward to working with Catherine Pezzelli again.
