Beautiful and well built

This Murphy Cube is beautiful and well built. The mattress is comfortable and all my guests have commented on the comfort. However, the company never sent the free pillows that were supposed to come with the bed

Beautiful Leather Sofas

I am so happy with this sofa. I initially was looking for a corner sectional when I found this sofa and bought two. Style wise, this sofa would go with many decor types. The color is a light gray that is more on the warm side towards taupe. They are very sturdy and comfortable. The leather is authentic, soft, and good quality. It's going to be easy to keep clean. I highly recommend this beautiful sofa. Archic Furniture customer service was great!

We absolutely love our new leather sectional! It's the perfect size for our space and fits our family of four easily. The leather is beautiful and the frame is solid. We had a bit of a hiccup with the delivery company, but Archic Furniture was great to work with. We highly recommend, and we're looking forward to enjoying our sofa for years to come.

Awesome cabinet!

The cabinet is perfect for a collection of memorabilia that I have. I like that it is so tall that it almost hits the ceiling. I like all of the shelves, and I also appreciate having a little storage space at the bottom.
Again, thank you so much for making sure I received this cabinet!

Beautiful!

The wood is beautiful, and the quality of the furniture is impeccable. The assembly was as simple enough for this 69 year old to accomplish with my husband’s help in a couple hours… I’m slow! It’s perfect under the window in our office/bedroom in our home. We love it!

Exactly what we needed !

Purchased NovoSolo Halifax Midi Wardrobe for my sons NYC apartment that doesn’t have a closet. It’s exactly what we needed. Delivery was seamless called ahead knew exactly when they were arriving excellent communication. The wardrobe is large, sturdy and best of all - it comes assembled ! Don’t make the mistake of going to IKEA first and throwing it away because it’s impossible to assemble and made of pressed cardboard. We are very happy with our purchase from Archicfurniture.

Outstanding Poly Glider Chair and Exceptional Customer Service

I recently purchased a poly glider chair from Archic Furniture, and I am absolutely thrilled with both the product and the outstanding customer service I received. From start to finish, this shopping experience has been a breeze, and I cannot recommend Archic Furniture enough.

Great Purchase

After realizing that we needed more sleeping space for our guests, we decided to give this cabinet bed a try. It fits perfectly in the designated area and is constructed with great attention to detail. Sleeping on it is a breeze, as it offers a comfortable and supportive surface. Although the cost is a bit steep, we have decided to keep it for our family's use, and when we rent out our home, we can easily lock the bed by using a safety chain and a small lock. In fact, we are so pleased with the first bed that we have ordered a second one, which is scheduled to arrive in a few days.After realizing that we needed more sleeping space for our guests, we decided to give this cabinet bed a try.
