Testimonials

We are moving to SC from CT and needed a whole house of furniture; this was a very daunting task to me. I knew FLS from a years-ago phone order and after reading more about them recently decided to sign up to work with a designer. I was very promptly assigned to Donald Beck who immediately reached out by phone and email to determine my goals and needs for a weekend shopping trip with him.

When I arrived Donald had all my plans and pictures blown up and was so incredible to work with. He truly listened to my thoughts and offered a perfect amount of guidance as we went room by room setting up a first round of a floor plan with pieces. As we were ready to start shopping I met Cindy Basel, another Designer that Donald teams up with. It was quite quickly that I realized I was in great hands. The two of them were incredible together, running ideas by me, feeding off each other and room by room we went selecting pieces and rugs . By the end of day two, I felt so comfortable with Donald and Cindy and all the selections we made. They made this daunting task fun and exciting!

Awaiting the sale of our house, we were planning on ordering only a portion of our furniture and plan to order the rest with our home sale. Donald and Cindy were quite understanding and by all means supportive in wishing us the best in our move south. I truly felt an amazing connection with them after we walked FLS for two days straight creating our future home with me. I can only recommend Donald and Cindy with the utmost confidence as two very wonderful people and top designers to work with. The best! We hugged goodbye when we parted and I look forward to the finishing touches on our home down the road.

Since I’ve been back in CT, I’ve had more questions for Donald and he is available, helpful and so very nice to work with. Thank you Donald and Cindy it’s been a true pleasure! —Janice F.

 

This was our first time shopping at Furnitureland South, and we were beyond impressed with the level of professionalism and class from Donald Beck. Donald went the extra mile for us and we are extremely appreciative. We are going home with gorgeous pieces of furniture for our home in Alaska and we are already planning our next trip in a few months. Thank you again Donald! —Joshua & Kathleen S.

Hats off to Donald Beck for helping us with two houses from start to finish! He is the best! —Cindy S.

Donald Beck helped me find new furniture for my new house. He was very helpful and not a pushy sales person. Showed me great options and really helped me with decorating. Great experience. —Athena Z.

We were very happy with the service we received from Donald Beck! He was extremely knowledgable and helpful. We will definitely return for future purchases and will ask for Donald! —Kay A.

Donald Beck was the best!!! He went above and beyond to meet my needs. He will be my "go-to man" when I'm shopping for furniture again! —Dawn L.

Donald Beck was our design consultant, and from our first phone call we had a wonderful experience. We are relocating and he made time for us when we were in town. He is very detailed and took us in the right direction for the style and comfort we were looking for. I'm sure this will not be our last order placed with Donald! —Pat P.

We worked with Donald Beck & had an outstanding experience; we can't even begin to put into words to express our thanks & gratitude! We highly recommend Donald to any one who is in need of furniture and design assitstance.

Thank you, Donald. We will think of you every time we see the beautiful furniture you helped us select! —Lisa K.

My new sofa is everything that I wanted, plus some. Donald was extremely helpful with the fabric selection and worked around my current chair fabric. It is so comfortable that I have fallen asleep while sitting on it. Everyone that comes into my home has remarked on the beauty of my sofa. Thank you for this wonderful addition to my home. —Michelle

Wow, incredible service from start to finish. Donald Beck and Cindy Basel deliver from the moment you make contact with them until they walk you out the door. The selection within this amazing facility is truly second to none! Combine selection, talent from every team member and you have a home run! —Robert G.

My husband and I bought a beautiful sofa and two rugs this spring under the skillful eye and gentle guidance of Donald Beck. We think of Donald as an interior designer rather than a salesman. His senses of color, style, and proportion are all superb. He also might be the most patient person in the world! One Sunday afternoon, having chosen our sofa with Donald’s help, we went back to choose rugs for the living room and dining room. I looked at every rug TWICE, all the while chatting with Donald about what might work and why.

In the end, we went with the rugs he had initially suggested, but it took me about two hours to decide that he had been right after all. Throughout this long afternoon, he was completely relaxed, cheerful, and very helpful. Our 76-year-old house has received a new lease on life! We’ll definitely be going directly back to Donald when we want to buy new furnishings. —Judy C.

We had an awesome experience working with Cindy Basel & Donald Beck!!! Donald & Cindy were, and continue to be, two professionals that bring an incredible service to an already terrific business model. These two worked with us tirelessly from the moment they greeted us at the door until they walked us out two days later.
 
Honestly, we could not believe the level of detail & effort these Donald & Cindy provided. From drawings of our floor layout, to photos posted on the design boards, they never missed a beat. Frankly, anyone can dump a bunch of furniture in a structure & hire a few people to help sell the products but this is obviously not your business model and it shows.
 
We have worked with other designers in the past on other projects, but know one has ever brought this level of service, selection & delivery and installation the way FLS packages the process. The entire FLS team is to be commended as we were & continue to be very impressed. —Joe G. & Michele I.

Awesome trip to Furnitureland South! Couldn’t have asked for a better designer than Donald Beck. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, energetic and charming! We found everything we were looking for! —Elaine B.

I cannot express how successful my visit to FLS was! Massive thanks to Donald Beck & Cindy Basel — without them, it would have been overwhelming. With so many brands to choose from, it was such a relief to have experts with so much knowledge of products & the process. Donald & Cindy were so open & honest about it all! I cannot rave enough about these two! Thank you so much. —DuVal R.

We had a wonderful expierence shopping at Furnitureland South. Our design consultant, Donald Beck, did a fantastic job. Just added an additional sectional to my order via FaceTime with Donald’s help! A great overall experience! —Elaine B.

“Our Furnitureland South experience was seamless. Where our design consultant, Donald Beck, literally walked us from collection to collection of the very specific powered family room furniture we were interested in. We were able to sit in at least 20 different sofas/sectionals by many different manufactures until we found a manufacture and collection that fit us perfectly. It was a great and exhausting day with so many choices. Then we came back a week later, letting Donald know we were in the store again and did another sit in many of those selections to make sure we had picked the right furniture for our needs and then placed our order. Our Design Consultant, Donald Beck, always responds in minutes by text with any questions we have had and has made the whole experience a positive one. Plus there was NO high pressure sales tactics or I would have walked away. Thank you FLS and Donald Beck. Looking forward to getting our furniture delivered in a few months.” - Steven S

I want you to know how much I appreciated the professionalism and expertise of Donald Beck. I am the CEO of a custom engineering firm and have precious little time to run from furniture store to furniture store.

I sent Don the floor plans of the rooms he would be furnishing and a list of items that I needed. He had already laid out the space before I got there and scoped out some sectionals and entertainment centers to get a sense of my taste. As you know already, I was able to buy everything I needed in the 2 days I spent with him.

He made the task easy. He is obviously a pro at what he does and helped me coordinate everything!! I was extremely happy with his service and hope you realize what an outstanding sales person Don is. —Terri M.

We recently purchased a home, and needed to fill many rooms. We worked with Donald Beck and have nothing but high praise for him and his work. He makes the selection process fun. He always remembers our names, responds quickly to our emails and gives valuable information so we can make an informed decision. We’ve never felt pressured to make any purchases. His customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend Donald!

Our no-pressure sales person Donald Beck was very helpful with our fabric selection for our sectional and even suggested a coffee table that looks great. Our dining room will be the next room we work on with Donald. He is truly a Fun and Creative person. —B.T.

The service here was excellent. I especially enjoyed working with our Design Consultant, Donald. He was extremely helpful in suggesting appropriate pieces based on my style preferences. I had no problem coordinating delivery of all of our furniture. We spent about 12k on dining room, master bedroom and family room furniture, along with some small decorative pieces. After some research, I found the same online for over 20k.

I will definitely purchase from FLS in the future, and recommend them to all of our friends. We get compliments on our furniture by everyone that visits, not only because it is beautiful, but also very well crafted. We will be back when we are ready to furnish our den and sunroom. —Megan S.

Donald Beck helped make furnishing our home fun and easy. Donald respected our budget and really listened to what we wanted; he truly cared. Then he knew exactly where to locate good choices for us and tied it all together from dining room to living room to bedrooms, with rugs for each room. He helped us find some great deals and we left Furnitureland South smiling! Thank you for all of your help, Donald. —Gary T.

Both Furnitureland South and our Designer, Donald Beck, are excellent! We needed to furnish a 5 bedroom/5 bath mountain home, and we accomplished selection of the entire house with Donald in one day! Donald was mindful of our budget and selecting materials that would be durable for our lifestyle, even finding us some amazing pieces in The Outlet! —Darla O.

Wow! Donald Beck was a phenomenal host, guide, collaborator and designer for us. We couldn't have come up with the dining room and kitchen table ensembles we did without his help. Donald was pleasant, gracious, and extremely talented. —Marla R.
