I ordered a dresser from Houzz and paid extra for the 'room of choice.' The dresser arrived at CEVA in Atlanta, GA four days ago and now they are telling me they can only drop it off in my driverway per Sabrina. I called Houzz and spoke with Steve who states they can refund me $99.99 for 'room of choice' and I can find a local move to move it upstairs or they will return it back to Houzz in California and charge ALL the freight charges there and back because 'that's their policy.' I told Steve of Houzz that if I accept those terms and the dresser has been damaged during shipment, then the responsibility would be on me and that was not the original agreement; Steve had nothing else to say. I requested a Manager to call me back as soon as possible and Steve stated 'I can request it but I can't promise anyone will call you.' I am so upset right now and I'm supposed to be giving my attention to my job and not doing the job of Houzz! Horrible experience!
They don't answer the phone(a lot of their numbers are now disconnected) and when eventually they did answer a rude woman, Elena Spitz, told me that I have to keep paying because I agreed to that 5 years AGO! 3 months ago Houzz raised their monthly fee 100% and even that I said repeatedly I do NOT want the service anymore and sent an email canceling, they keep charging my credit card instead of taking my name off their website...I changed my credit card number and they KEPT charging $324.00 monthly! I'm disputing thru my credit card but this company needs a CLASS law suit! I had my business for many years yet never had this situation with any merchant nor service provider, at this point Houzz is literally stealing my money!

Purchased a vanity from this outfit. The vanity was delivered on Aug 22,2024 and installed a few days later in the basement bathroom. I don't use that bathroom very often so have not had a chance to use it since maybe two weeks after it was installed. A couple of days ago (around the 20th of October), mind you less than two month after delivery, I was in that bathroom and noticed that the vanity was falling apart on the bottom right and left sides. I contacted the store only to be informed that they will not do anything other than send me a repair kit with wood filler and paint. I told them that that wasn't acceptable and that I wanted them to either pay for repairs by a professional or exchange the $1,000 vanity for a new one. Just wanted all potential customers to know what kind of business they are dealing with.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this company. I was charged for a full year of their Pro services despite never using the platform. Immediately after being charged, I reached out to explain the situation and request a refund, only to be denied with no reasonable explanation. Their website makes it almost impossible to unsubscribe, which feels intentionally designed to trap users into paying for something they didn't want.
This company seems more interested in profiting off of unsuspecting customers than providing actual value. I find their business practices to be deceptive and unfair. I will never use this service again and strongly advise others to avoid it. Terrible customer service, terrible policies, and a complete lack of accountability.
I HAD MY ACCOUNT HACKED AND EMAIL CHANGED, SOMEONE ORDERED 1800 WORTH OF ITEMS FROM THIS SITE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORTHLESS,

Do not use this website. They offered me a free trial so I thought I would give it a try to figure out a configuration for my bedroom. There was nothing that stated how much a membership would be if not cancelled before the free trial was up. Well turns out they charged me $300 the day before my trial was up and now they won't refund my money! Terrible customer service! Don't use! I am sure there are much better options out there, who aren't crooked and only out to get your money!

The piece I bought is pretty nice! It looks good and feels solid, so no complaints there. Delivery was smooth, and they packed it up really well. Overall, I'm satisfied with it, but not totally blown away.
I purchased two of these benches to finish off my master bedroom remodel. The fabric is a beautiful cream color and the brass matches the other décor in the room. These are very well made and true to the quality you get when buying Uttermost.
Our mom's aging-in-place bathroom renovation was a big success - a full wet room concept with zero-threshold shower, linear wall drain and full handicap design w/grab bars and accessible shower fixtures. Also a wider doorway for future wheelchair access, modular vanity, non-slip surfaces, and beautiful tile work. Functional and looks fantastic! Thanks, Rob, Steve and team for a job well done!
Promptly received two pillows and found them to be a bit off on color once in our home and while the return was approved, we had to pay the shipping... not cool with all of the options to order from that don't charge for shipping.

Answer: Good question Maggie. I don't think there is. I think this site is just there to help their vendor and not assist consumers in making informed decisions. I found had a contractor who had defrauded us and changed his business name on Houzz. I posted a review on his profile notifying the public of what he had done to us, and Houzz did not publish the review. I joined Sitejabber to warn the public about Houzz.
Answer: I began as a Pro on Houzz and spent $2000 on Advertising. This was supposedly for a year of top exposure. No one purchased, the couple of calls I received were people wanting to USE my service for ideas. I have since discontinued complimentary initial appointments. These people are the biggest scammers in the world! I'm still one of the Pros just to see if anything bites but I noticed they go into vendors photos and try to find similar product then they sell their products. Great way to sway your client and to steal customers!
Answer: Go straight to the top at Houzz. Ms. Adi Tatarko, CEO, Alon Cohen, Pres. If tha doesn't work, I suggest you file complaint with the Consumer Affairs Division of the California Attorney General's Office.
Answer: The Pros, at least at the beginning, were not in competition with this company (Houzz). They convinced the "Designer" world that the were strictly collecting ideas for the public and to help improve the vendors chances of being hired. Those reviews on the Pros are about the Pros, they come from their clients. About 2-3 years ago, Houzz began selling out from under all the vendors! They are SO low they have gone into the photos of the pros, look for a product they have that might be similar to something they sell and lead them away from the pro. The 1-2 stars you see here are the reviews for "Houzz" and their service but the reviews under a Pro are for that Pro. Don't be fooled... If you want the job done right, call the Pro! Listen to these reviews of Houzz and you won't get burned. Two different animals completely!
Answer: Steer clear. The advertising doesn't work, and although they originally started up as a company that would work alongside the vendors, they are now selling out from under most of them, especially the interiors decorators! They are SO low they have actually tagged products inside some of the photos of interior designers and tabbed out similar products to stay the customer away from the Pro and to purchase through them directly!
Answer: Do yourself a huge favor and find it somewhere else. Houzz contracts with third party sellers and their freight companies, they're just a middle man. What a nightmare this has been.
Houzz has a rating of 2.5 stars from 1,658 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Houzz most frequently mention customer service, credit card and delivery date. Houzz ranks 8th among Furniture sites.
