We thoroughly enjoyed working with Barry Ambrose. He was great in assisting us in our selection of a living room sofa set and accent chair. We came back to purchase chairs to match a sofa and his suggestion was perfect. Everyone in his showroom were friendly and greeted you. We will definitely be back as we add to our new home.

Have a sign on the door to "leave your kids under 12 years old at home".ummm those are the ages that can't be left at home. Also seemed very eager to tell us they didn't have what we wanted. When asked if I could order it, they didn't want to help and said it could be up to 6 months. I ordered the exact same sofa from OBX Furniture for 10% less and they were friendly and very willing to help custom order the item.

Posting this for a friend who is a satisfied customer who is not on Facebook. We first met Barry Ambrose in 1997 when we were building our first house in Corolla Light. Both our realtor and our builder -- independently -- suggested Ambrose Furniture as the best source for our furniture. He helped us furnish our 6-bedroom home in a way that. remained fresh and current til the day we sold it in October 2018.

How often can you say THAT about furnishings? In 2001 we bought ANOTHER beach house in Corolla Light -- this one to rent out. Barry again helped us replace key pieces of furniture to update the look and have it stand out from the other rental houses. He suggested fabrics that would.

Clean, colorful, and comfortable store with large selection of beach themed furniture and accessories. Welcomed by polite sales professionals and given space to look around at my leisure. Convenient location easily visible from the main road through Kitty Hawk.
