Testimonials

Grace is creative, diligent and always goes above and beyond to take care of the customer, from the initial first design stage through the installment.  She helped us create a beautiful place to call home & we could not have done it without her!

Grace often talked to us after hours and on weekends... basically about five seconds after we called or texted, she would answer us.  Very few sales people have such follow up & organizational skills to truly make the customer feel valuable & appreciated.

It all started from a small $1,500 order for a bench... after that order she took the time to hand write us a thank you note. I remembered that, and now we just ordered almost $100,000 in furnishings for a new condo in Naples, FL and we received the exact same level of service!  She is a gem to work with!  Any customer would be lucky to be able to work with Grace! —Kristin C.

Grace Williams was very efficient and made sure to follow up with us, even on her time off! Thank you Grace. —Jim D.

I had connected with Grace Williams in February & worked with her virtually for a few items needed in my new home. She was simply great & so helpful without even meeting me. After hearing Grace tell me about FLS & the amazing sales, I knew I had to plan my trip down to FLS.

I can't tell you how much I loved my whole experience. It was amazing! Grace was soooooo helpful, talented & kind. She was tireless in her efforts and beyond accommodating. With her help, I was able to finish 4 rooms in my home. Not bad for 2.5 days of shopping! I am so excited to get my furnishings, and I will definitely be back again to finish up. I am also telling everyone I know about my experience.

It's not so easy to find a place with beautiful products AND wonderful, kind people to help you. Thank you for everything, Grace - you are amazing! —Laurel A.

Grace Williams is amazing to work with! —Diane I.

We needed to replace every room in our home after a fire in the fall, and I found shopping after the fire to be difficult, but not in this case. Our designers Grace Williams and Caroline Youngdale were amazing.

They took the time ahead of our appointment to accomplish as much as possible before we even met. They didn't rush any of our decisions and stayed on point through the whole process, even though we had only one day to cover furnishing our home.

These two wonderful ladies came in early and left very late to help us. I highly recommend Furnitureland South and especially Grace and Caroline.

They were angels in the midst of our storm! —Stella F.

We loved our designer, Grace Williams. She was so knowledgeable, she could almost read our minds. Grace helped us plan & select all the pieces for our living room, study & bedroom while keeping us under budget. Thanks for everything, Grace! —Rita L.

Grace Williams was great to work with! She quickly guidws us through our selections and pricing, and recognized that we had done much research. Grace was so well-prepared and didn't waste any time getting us exactly what we wanted. Grace is truly a polished professional! —Russell S.

En route to another location we had found online when we drove past Furnitureland South and figured it was worth the stop-so glad we did! We walked in and were immediately helped by Grace Williams. Grace was amazing!

She took time to find out what we needed, looked at pictures to see our style, layout, colors & budget. She expertly led us through the expansive showrooms, pointing out what she felt best suited out style & budget. She explained the benefits of good construction and quality of high-end materials.

After we had selected pieces, she led us through the design of colors & patterns for pillows, accent pieces etc. This assistance allowed us to quickly narrow down & decide what we wanted without being overwhelmed with too many choices or wading through pieces that didn’t fit out style and budget.

We are very excited for our new furniture’s arrival and will certainly be back and seek Grace’s expert design eye! —Tara E.

Our first experience at Furnitureland South was exceptional! We visited with an objective to find several pieces for a new home. Design associates, Grace Williams and Angela Six, were professional, extremely talented and made our visit a genuinely fun experience.

The amazing selection, coupled with the Grace and Angela's expertise and ability to listen to our "wants", enabled us to decide on multiple rooms of beautiful, comfortable furniture with the style and continuity that we were striving for.

Thank you Grace, Angela, and FLS! —Donna B.

Grace is an amazing designer and extremely thorough and responsive! —Tanya S.

The entire FLS experience exceeded our expectations!!!! Our Design Consultants Grace Williams & Caroline Youngdale had a vastly knowledgeable & imaginative array of design options for us, and worked tirelessly for three days to help us design our home.

We are recommending Grace & Caroline to any of our family & friends who are buying furniture or redesigning their home. We can’t wait to receive our furniture & experience their vision! Thank you very much, Grace & Caroline! —Dawn & Pete P.

Grace Williams is the best Design Consultant! She is very good at her job. She actually listens to her clients when they tell her and show her their ideas! Grace was very helpful and we look forward to working with her in the near future! —Debbie D.

Driving to High Point, NC from Pennsylvania to visit this showroom was so worth the eight hour drive. This place was “Heavenly”...they had everything we needed to furnish our new home. And, meeting their top designer Grace Williams, was icing on the cake. We are so grateful for her advice and expertise. She was and continues to be such a help to us. Thankful for our experience at this amazing showroom! —Joseph C.

We met with Grace Williams and were amazed at how well and quickly she took us through the process of choosing pieces for our new home. We thought it would be a much longer process. Grace is amazing! —Shirley K.

Love, love, love our design expert...Grace Williams!! Very attentive and her expertise helped with the fabric choices! We love everything we've ordered! —Marsha P.

Grace and Caroline were fantastic!! My husband and I flew in from Arizona and we needed a whole house full of furniture. Within two days we had almost everything done!! Everything is custom — from fabrics to finishes, and it’s half the price you would spend at a furniture store and much higher quality!! I highly recommend FLS and Grace & Caroline! —Constance L.

I initially worked with Grace virtually to furnish our home. Her knowledge and advise made me feel extremely comfortable with our cross country move. I was confident she was the right desiginer for us and she delivered beyond our expectations. Grace’s attention to detail shines through in her designs while delivering outstanding customer service. —Lynette M.

Our shopping experience at Furnitureland South, on a scale from 1 - 10 is unequivocally, a 10! We found almost everything we wanted and needed for our new home, which is currently under construction. Working under the guidance of Grace Williams, we could not have had better or more gracious service! Going forward, we will definitely recommend Furnitureland South and we hope this will not be our final visit! —Bonnie & Dr. Robert P.

Recently, my sister and I spent 2 full days at Furnitureland South with Caroline Youngdale and Grace Williams. Both of us were absolutely blown away not only by the knowledge and experience, but amazed at the genuine caring and attention that we both received! I have no doubt that we were extremely fortunate to have worked with your best!

I would be remiss in not mentioning that I should have literally driven these two ladies to tears and screaming! I came to the store with ideas of what pieces I wanted, but no real clear cut ideas… much less am I a “natural” at knowing what I want. I can tell you all day long what I don’t like, question you to death on something I do, and then beat the heck out of you with texts, emails and nervous fears about making a bad choice. Despite all of that, these ladies always greeted me with warmth, care and interest, responded quickly to any requests for information, FaceTime or phone calls. In a word, they are AMAZING! And FABULOUS! But mostly, excellent at what they do! I needed someone that could access very quickly what look I was going for, and then know what and where those items were… and they did it! MY HOME WILL BE GORGEOUS BECAUSE OF THEM!

I am very excited about all of my purchases, and will be purchasing more in the next several months — and note that I purchased furniture and lighting for 3 areas already! I am also thrilled to tell everyone I know about them — and of course, Furnitureland South! There is everything one could want and so well-organized for even someone like me, that gets easily overwhelmed!

In closing, I had been in sales management for over 40 years and these ladies are perfect in every way! Many thanks and all the best! —Jo K.

We had a great experience working with Grace! She worked with us to find the right colors and prices for several pieces of furniture. We liked her so much because she was honest and a great listener. We highly recommend her! —Courtney R.

My husband and I recently visited Furnitureland South and had and absolutely AWESOME, PRODUCTIVE AND ENJOYABLE visit with the guidance of Grace Williams and Nick Delgado. 

I have worked with other designers for homes we have owned in New Jersey and Kiawah Island, and feel Grace’s design expertise, product knowledge and energy are truly unparalleled. She and Nick were able to assist us with the purchase of furnishings for virtually all of our 5,000 sq. ft. home (and additional outdoor space) which is currently under construction in Bluffton, South Carolina. Grace and Nick were rapidly able to understand our style; they quickly pointed us to pieces that matched our taste and budget, and easily found coordinating rugs, bedding and fabrics.

Words cannot adequately convey how delighted we were with our Furnitureland South experience, and we have already scheduled a follow-up appointment in a few months! We just wanted to compliment the superior customer experience provided by Grace and Nick. —Lisa & Steve F.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Grace Williams and Caroline Youngdale, two of your most talented designers. Our goal was to furnish a 4,200 sq. ft. home. We really had no idea how to go about it. Grace and Caroline (our design team) exceeded our expectations at every turn.  

We had two days to get this completed before having to be back in New York. Grace and Caroline kept us on task to be sure we were successful. It would be easy to become overwhelmed with everything here, but they understood exactly what we wanted - even when we didn't.  

I cannot say enough about our experience because of our design team. We had concerns after reading some negative reviews. Grace and Caroline were straight forward and addressed our concerns professionally. We have every confidence in this team.  

They work extremely well together. They are like a little tag team. We had so much fun the past two days. —Cheryl & Jill Silber

We absolutely love Furnitureland South—everything from the beautiful dresser store front, to the vast variety of merchandise, to the courteous and friendly staff. Caroline and Grace were so helpful and delightful to work with. This was our second trip from Wisconsin to work with them. We also loved the Starbucks in the lobby. It was a great relaxing spot to discuss what we had seen and then go back for a second look. I would highly recommend this MEGA shopping experience to anyone looking for great quality furniture at a great price. —Debbie T.

 I just wanted to leave my review for my experience at Furnitureland South and my Design Consultants, Caroline Youngdale and Grace Williams.

First, I want to say your design showroom is spectacular, so beautiful; you could spend days there! I found some beautiful pieces!

Both Caroline and Grace were wonderful, such lovely women. They both were pregnant at the time, but they stood on their feet all day and walked me around your large showroom several times. We really appreciated that! They totally understood my concepts; they educated me on a few things that I didn’t know, and they researched and found me some other pieces based off of what I told them I wanted.

Caroline and Grace were both very knowledgeable and even researched a few items for me after I left. They kept up with my questions from texts and emails. I had several after my original meeting and purchase.

I’ve received all my purchases except for four chairs that I’m waiting on sometime this July. I would say the only downside of my experience was the fact of the shipping times probably due to supply and demand and shortage of workers, etc. due to Covid was a pain but clearly only because of the situation. Finally, when the drivers delivered my furniture and accessories, they did an awesome job, no problems; they were friendly and helpful.

Both Grace and Caroline were wonderful to work with! —Jeanene K.

We came to FLS with the sole purpose of furnishing our entire house including rugs, in one day. Prior to our arrival, I had corresponded with Grace Williams & provided information on room size, style of furnishings we wanted and so forth.

When we arrived, first thing in the morning, Grace was ready. She kept us on track, guided us where we needed to go, included things we hadn’t even thought about and presented us with options. She was very professional, very likeable, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable.

By the end of the day we had purchased nearly $140,000 worth of furniture and rugs. We could never have accomplished this feat without Grace. We were so lucky she answered my email inquiry with a personal phone call. Thank you, Grace. —Joan S.

Grace Williams with Furnitureland South is AMAZING! She is uber-talented, responsive and a wonderful person to work with. Her knowledge of interior design and the furniture lines at Furnitureland South is unmatched. I have two houses full of furniture designed by Grace Williams and Furnitureland South and will continue coming here. —Christina F.

Our Design Consultant, Grace Williams, was simply THE BEST! We did virtually an entire house in two days. Grace understands budgets and how to best allocate decorating funds. She knows the entire array of FLS product options - from rugs to case goods to upholstery to lighting to fabrics. She is responsive and made our FLS experience productive and enjoyable, both during our visit and afterwards when we ordered additional items. Would give more than five stars if it were possible! —Lisa F.

I am in awe of Grace Williams and Caroline Youngdale. They were our interior designers for our new home and made the whole experience such a pleasure. We told them our ideas of what we wanted, and they took it to the next level to create a beautiful space in our home. They go above and beyond in every aspect of your experience with them. They are still helping us with every detail! I not only got the best designers to help us, I got new friends. Thank you, Grace, and Caroline, for making our experience wonderful. – Carolyn S.

My husband and I live in Florida, have an open floor plan, and were ready to replace some of our great room furniture. The new furniture would have to coordinate with numerous pieces of Tommy Bahama furniture we currently owned. We had looked at some local furniture stores, but realized we needed design help and more selection. Based on the recommendation of several neighbors, we decided to travel to your store last week. Your campus has an amazing selection which is quite overwhelming. We were very fortunate to work with Grace Williams who assisted us with the selection of a sofa, leather recliner, swivel chair and ottoman, end tables and lamps, rug and a curio cabinet. Grace navigated your store with ease resulting in a selection that we are thrilled with and comfortable that the items will fit in our space and coordinate with existing pieces. She worked with us over the course of 2 half days during a busy February sale. We appreciate Grace's help and wonderful design expertise and are looking forward to our deliveries!

My husband and I were thrilled with the service we received from the indomitable team of Grace Williams and Caroline Youngdale. We drove to High Point armed with a tape measure, a furniture floor plan and a vague wish list of what we wanted to achieve for our new Florida home and after two days and 20,000 steps it became a reality thanks to these two hard working ladies.

We asked them to be our guides and to help us save time and money, and they achieved these goals with a friendly, can-do attitude that never lagged. Their one-two punch of product and design knowledge combined with a deep understanding of logistics and discounts made for a very productive 48 hours - and two happy customers, who will continue to sing their praises. —Tina I.

Grace Williams has turned into my go to one stop furniture source. My first visit to High Point and Furnitureland South as an interior desginer, I was by happenstance assigned to Grace. Right away I could tell that this was no ordinary sales & design consultant.

Grace's attention to detail, customer service and most of all, speed is beyond compare. As a busy designer who prides herself on efficiency, Grace has become my number one source of furniture. She can be relied on always to be fast, courteous & professional. Her attention to my clients makes my business effective. In short, she makes me look good! She knows her product and she knows how to deliver and make things happen. Grace gets an A+ in superior customer service! —Owner of M. Home Style in Stonington, CT.

I can't thank Grace Williams enough for the outstanding customer service she has given me before, during & after my furniture purchase. Having Grace take the time to review our building plans beforehand put me at ease before I even arrived. 

From the moment I met Grace, I knew I would be in good hands. It meant a great deal that we first sat down to talk in depth about my vision & thoughts that she had. Grace immediately understood what I was looking for & guided me to the options that best fit my needs. I so appreciated her patience, ideas & honesty, always wanting to make sure that I was happy with my choices.  

Furnitureland South is most fortunate to have such talented & creative designers like Grace Williams on their staff, and I can't imagine working with anyone else. Grace is absolutely the best! —Debby G.

 

My family and I traveled from New York to North Carolina to visit & purchase furniture from Furnitureland South and we had a very well experience. Grace Williams spent endless hours helping us select furniture for different rooms in our home and never once lost her patience or guidance in doing so.

I give Furnitureland South and Grace Williams 5 stars because they earned it. This was our second time around furnishing our home at FLS and we couldn't be more happier! —Josephine C.

During my visit, I worked with Grace Williams & Caroline Youngdale and they were FANTASTIC!!!!! Grace & Caroline spent so much time getting to know me, my style and guided me through the sea of selections.

I cannot say enough about their attention, service and wonderful selections while staying within my budget constraints. I would highly recommend Furnitureland South and the wonderful team of Grace & Caroline.

I am truly a happy shopper and will return again and again. —Jonan C.
