Northwest Design Center & Furniture Gallery

Total scam. This place has been having a store closing sale for years. When you go in and look at any prices they have extremely high markups with lines through them. The final price is still higher than they are worth. It should be illegal to do this kind of false advertisement.

I’ve been here twice in the (almost) 2 months that we’ve lived in this area, as we needed a few furniture pieces for our home since they didn’t make it in the move. There is a severe lack of quality furniture stores in this area (which is just weird), so we ended up stopping in here to check it out. Upon first glance, I loved the store. It’s huge, and they have some really beautiful pieces. (which is why I gave two stars instead of one)
On our first trip there, we were shopping for a dining set, and ended up liking one of the ones they had on the floor, but we were a little turned off by their price. ($ 1400!) So we decided to keep it in mind, and keep shopping around. We found the exact same table set at another (less unique, less quality) furniture store in Bremerton with a price tag of $ 900. The exact same one — $ 500 cheaper! Yikes. Talk about marking up your inventory.
Also during this visit, we were unfortunate enough to be exposed to the owner’s (or whoever she was) berating her own son (I assume it was her son) because he came in to ask for gas money. She loudly lectured him in front of us, and WE were made to feel awkward and embarrassed – I can’t imagine how he must have felt. It turned me off to shopping there that day, as I didn’t want to do business with such a manipulative and downright mean lady. I couldn’t believe the «show» we got to see that day. Completely rude (to that boy and to us) and unprofessional.
My next trip here was in search of a headboard for our king size bed. I wanted something unique, and knew that there weren’t very many places to go in this area, so I stopped by again (and hoped to have a better experience). I did. The gentleman who waited on me was very very nice, made great conversation, and was very helpful. However, the prices are just too high. I don’t know what people do in this area for a living, but I come from CT (where everything is overpriced) and was still shocked at the pricing. $ 200 – 600 for an old door, $ 400 for this or that, $ 1500 for a small table. I mean, really. Who can afford things like that?
I think if this store was a little more realistic in their pricing (and also took their family drama to the back room), they’d have a shot at luring us back in as future customers. Until then, nah.

This place is a total scam. They have signs out every day of the year that shout some kind of sale, but the prices are always the same: Too High.
It should be illegal to say that you’re having a sale when those are your normal prices.
