Great products and great service. Nice to be able to see a designer piece and not just simply buy online.

Great furniture and great customer service. I’ve bought a black ash dining room chair for my wife every year - we have 3 now, and while the price is solid for what it is, it’s expensive for us, so I wasn’t going to buy a set all at once. They are good looking, lightweight, and sturdy. I’ve had one delivered, picked one up in Rockrodge, and picked one up from the Berkeley warehouse. Staff is friendly and helpful every time. They have discounted items for sale at the warehouse, I think on Saturdays.

The eight foot walnut slab table we ordered arrived exactly as described. We are happy with our new heirloom furniture piece.

We came across SOBU on Instagram and were immediately drawn to the products and style. We’ve purchased a rug and side table and couldn’t be happier with the customer service and products. We ordered another rug soon after and are sadly still waiting on it three months later but the team has been good with sending updates. If we lived closer, it would be dangerous as we’d probably buy everything!
