"This is the second time I have ordered furniture through Homelement and they didn't disappoint again. It is the best on-line company I think I have ever dealt with. I would recommend them highly for their customer service and delivery. I will continue to use them again and again!"
"This was my first time shopping for furniture online. Ordering was smooth and I used their priceMatch policy to order a sofa at a good price. The shipping company made a mistake and the order was on a truck for shipping to Homelement, NJ instead of my place but I noticed the error on the shipping company's website and Homelement customer service helped me get that fixed. The agent I spoke to was courteous and made sure the furniture was removed from the truck destined to the other coast. I would use Homelement for ordering furniture in the future especially for the no tax, free shipping benefit."
"I ordered a very large wall full of library book cases because I trusted your online description and photos for accuracy and I was not disappointed. This is not true of all web stores but with Home Element I feel confident that the items you order will appear same or better in person than on the site. The furniture quality and style is perfect for what want and it blends seamlessly with my other high-end decorations. Customer service was friendly and easily accessible during the process and the shipper truly is a white glove installer. The pieces all arrived in perfect condition by a friendly crew as cheduled and they installed the unit in the room I chose with no mess and a great job all around. I'm very happy with Home Element. "
"Pros
Selection of products
Cons
Sales process – (I ordered via phone thinking it would be more accurate)
False information from sales department
Accuracy (or lack thereof) delivery
Poor Customer Service with no interest in resolving issue
No escalation for poor service (apparently Joe is as high as it can go)
Outrageous fees for their failing (thank goodness for American Express protection)

"The product was just what I ordered and can in a timely manner."
"Easy to deal with, items shipped quickly and were easy to track. Packages arrived with typical shipping dents, etc. (nothing to note concern) Unfortunately, when we opened the items, 3 of the first 3 were damaged. We had two boxes that were okay. A mirror was broken, a dresser had a dent in the front top and leg and the bed rail was bent and paint scraped off of the bed. I have notified customer service and will update you as to how they respond. Currently I am going to rate them with one star as so many of our items were damaged. I do understand that sometimes things happen in shipping and they are out of the control of Homelement... so, if they resolve them I will be back with an update and upgrade their rating accordingly. They have a reputation of having great customer service so I am hopeful that I will be back with a 5 star rating.
Update #1 A Representative from Homelement called today and explained the steps to take when damaged items are received... which is to submit photographs of boxes and damage. I did take pictures (as recommended by them when I ordered) and will email them right away. So far so good!
Update #2 The furniture company is shipping replacement parts and items for the damaged pieces. They requested that I donate the damaged items to a charity of my choice and in their name. Bravo! What a kind gesture as the damage was minimal and the items still usable. It also saves me the headache of packing up and return shipping furniture. The Representative from Homelement handled the entire issue quite quickly - bummer that the furniture was damaged -but their customer service is outstanding thus far! When the pieces come in new, I will update their review. Currently, I am very impressed... but, the new items aren't here yet so I am maintaining current review status. "
"I have ordered several things this year from Homelement. I have been very happy with each purchase.
I like to shop online and Homelement provides a very satisfying online experience. I can search and compare. I can choose various delivery options and track my order from start to finish."
"The deliver was schedule and confirm very efficiently.
The technician was professional and polite.
I like the entertaining center it looks like the photo. The only drawback is that one of the bottom doors was put together crooked and the finish of the wood is extremely delicate. With the most light touch it gets scratch.

"I ordered this great looking glass, chrome and marble dining table for my studio apartment. The modern style was a gamble for me; the room is art deco-modern in monochromatic colors-white,gray,black,chrome & glass. The gamble paid off and I'm VERY pleased with the table, the price, the shipping and care in packing. Putting it together is easier with two people; it's heavy.
It's stunning.
I absolutely love it. Thanks!"
"VERY EASY COMPANY TO DEAL WITH FAST SHIPPING ON SUCH A LARGE ITEM (DESK). VERY PLEASED WITH PRODUCT AND COMPANY"
"So far I have to say that I am not impressed. Placed an order for a sofa sectional 3 weeks ago, got word from the delivery company that it was damaged so bad that it can't be delivered. After several telephone calls with the company, they cannot tell me when a new one will be delivered. It's considered a claim even though I've never seen it. I've been told that I should expect an email from customer service but nothing and it's been over a week. Just not impressed with their responsivness."
"Ordering with Homelement was a completely positive experience. The order arrived in a very timely manner. It was packaged very well and all the furniture arrived in perfect condition. The furniture is BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I was hoping for. I was very nervous about ordering online without having seen it in person first, but am so happy I did. The prices were much better than any I seen in stores and the quality look of the furniture is wonderful."
"Our dresser arrived quickly, in excellent condition, and on the day they promised! It looks great and is a wonderful addition to our bedroom suit. We'll definitely consider Homelement.com again for our furniture needs."
"Overall good shopping experience, I liked the fact that they had a huge selection and I could furniture shop from the comfort of home rather than ruin my feet and have to settle for what was in my area stores. I did find the wait between order time and delivery a bit too long for my taste but the delivery went smoothly once it finally came. The wait time was 5 + weeks from order date to delivery day. The estimated shipping date passed and homelement did not update me with any new information so that was a bit perplexing also. A few days after the estimated shipping date had passed I e-mailed customer service and got no reply.
I liked that I could pay for the order with paypal. "
"It was a pleasure doing business with Homelement.com online! My order was handled rapidly and my recliner was packed well at the factory, delivered within a reasonable time frame right to my home in a factory sealed box without any damage to the product.
I love my recliner and in the future, when we need to purchase another, we will not hesitate to buy from Homelement.com again for certain!
A Very Happy Homelement.com Customer,
