HANS IS AMAZING! If you hate the haggle of indifferent retail staff. If you hate the headache of making big purchases like furniture. If you’ve spent countless hours online looking for top rated furniture. If you’re physically exhausted from sitting and standing on a million different pieces that “don’t feel quite right”.... COME TO ALPHA DESIGN IN BERKELEY!
Immediately, Hans will welcome you to his show room where there are countless styles of seating to choose from. You will meander around the room and sit on clearly well made and very comfortable couches. Hans will personally explains all the specifications of his pieces and offer to take you to his wall of customizations. Hundreds of fabrics, patterns, framing colors, etc to choose from.
My wife and I were shopping for a sofa that would fit in a very uniquely sized part of our house. We began to measure couches before sitting on them. Hans informed us that he can have his pieces made to any specification we chose. Then we realized the couch we wanted sat a bit low in the back. No problem, Hans informed us we could have the cushions modified to our specifications as well.
Lastly, my wife and I were hoping to find a nice chair for our front corner window. While we were finishing details for our chosen couch, I mentioned to my wife how I wished a few of the amazingly comfortable sofas we’d tried could be made in single arm chair form. “Also no problem!” said Hans!
We left having purchased a multi-customized sofa and chair. We paid up front and they were delivered to our door in around 3 weeks.
Hans made the process simple and enjoyable. His customer service is second to none. We never once felt pressured or persuaded in any direction. Hans just walked with us, answered any questions we had and then allowed us to go through our process.
PRICING is right where is should be for high quality custom furniture. Feel free to go to some chain department store and get wood veneer framed mass produced furniture that feels cheap if you’d like. Or spend less than you would at the high end luxury furniture dealer for truly well-crafted American made top quality pieces at ALPHA DESIGN IN BERKELEY!
It was a pleasure working with HANS. We will...
   Read moreThis place is amazing. We got exactly what we wanted (and ordered), and when it turned out that our "exactly" wasn't what we actually "wanted" the owner made the adjustments we needed to make it perfect, at no cost and on his own time. The kind of personalized service and attention we got from Hans is UNPARALLELLED. We have already recommended Alpha Design to a number of friends (something we simply don't do if the results are not 100% guaranteed). Hans has a friendly, quirky store that fits him to a T. Be prepared to spend real money for an honest value on high quality custom made furniture and plan 2 visits or give yourself enough time to go through the thousands of options available to get just what you want knowing that, within reason, Hans will do whatever he can to make your experience fruitful...
   Read moreMy husband and I were searching for a new sofa in East Bay after the frame of our IKEA sofa bed broke in just four years. It was so expensive everywhere we looked and they didn't fit into our small living room. I was skeptical first when my husband suggested ordering a customized one. I am really glad that we stopped by Alpha. Hans was very helpful in his consultation. We made a decision on the spot and the sofa was made in good quality as we wanted. It was delivered rather quickly. The movers were professional and efficient. They even took away our broken sofa. The cost was no more expensive than what we found in the market. Hans gave us two extra pieces of fabric as cover to protect our sofa from our dog. I am glad we could support local business. I highly...
