Just bought a dining table from Ambiente; beautiful items, very modern--love that store! Be prepared to drop some serious dough for a lot of their items, though.

They are doing a great job changing all the time. It was pretty boring to look at their web site though, it used to be the same all the time for the last couple of years since I started to shop there. But it looks like they changed that as well. I absolutely love it. And it is very helpful too. Know what to expect before going to the store. If you have any doubts about Ambiente check out their web site and you will like the products they have to offer. Great job guys, the change I have been waiting for. Pros: website, customer service Cons: they improved everything

I have been trying to find the right dining set for a long time. I visited every furniture store in the area. I stopped by Ambiente twice. On my first visit, I was given the attention I needed but was left alone to look around without pressure. I ended up going back weeks later and Julia remembered me and was extremely helpful with her opinions, but not once pressured me.I ended up getting the table and chairs during a floor sample sale and saved a LOT of money and got the most exceptional pieces. Julia was so much fun to work with. What could have been a very stressful day turned into a lot of fun! I reccommend ANYONE in town take a trip to this store. I was told that they keep changing out the windows and get new items all the time. I can't wait to go visit again! Pros: staff, selection Cons: none

As a man of business, I understand why people do not like to wait for large purchases. I don't mind waiting for something if I know it will be worth it. I placed an order which was estimated to arrive within 3 to 4 months. I received my order shortly thereafter, but was updated every step of the way. My sales person knew her products inside and out and answered every question I had with no problem. I thought she was the owner! I was updated when my order shipped and arrived, and though it ran a bit late, was compensated for the trouble. Customer service is very important to me and my business, and is definately a priority for this company as well. I felt like my business mattered, instead of feeling like just a customer. I recommend Ambiente to anyone who likes to be appreciated and expects quality for the money. Pros: Customer Service, Staff Knowledge, Environment, Qualtiy

Yes, they have a very good choice of contemporary furniture at a fair price, however be sure to confirm when you will actually receive your order. We placed an order in the middle of April (2008) and it is almost September and we still have not received our furniture. This is ridiculous. We have not been given a straight answer on what the problem is. We should have demanded our deposit back weeks ago and purchased elsewhere. We will never purchase from Ambiente again. Pros: Selection Cons: Customer Service

Buyers be aware!!! Especially for first time buyers, i have traveled north and south on the east coast for contemporary furnitures, this is the ONLY place that doesn't do returns. And guess what? they don't tell you if one item is returnable or not. Also make sure you check your receipt. Ask questions if anything on the receipt doesn't look familiar to you. Pros: availability Cons: customer service is terrible, items not clearly marked and explained
