I have not been in the furniture market for many years and started my mission to buy a bedroom set at Value City. They have a large selection, and I did find a Bedroom set there. But the furniture is NOT real wood. It looks good, but knowing it’s not real wood for the cost of $4,300 was bothersome to me. Plus the drawers were lose and wobbled side to side with ease. Not well made at all. A few days after I landed on LaPorta Furniture Company's web site. I was amazed at the quality furniture and the low prices. I was interested In a bedroom set on the Laporta website that’s made of Acacia wood. This wood is super hard, harder than white Oak. Just the long dresser in this set weighed 220 lbs. All drawers are dove tail constructed and the head board posts are so big and solid wood, me and my son were laughing at the size. It is by far the best large home purchase I have ever made. This whole set is solid wood. I mean the whole set. It Must weigh 600 lbs., and the set was almost $1,200 dollars less than the Value City Set. I can’t figure out how they made money on this sale. Penny furniture had the same constructed furniture for $10,000 a set. I swear I cannot tell our LaPorta Furniture Company bedroom set apart from the Penny Furnitures similar sets. When I called with a question Philip LaPorta answered the phone and even came out to meet me at my home to look at a room a needed a couch for. How often does the owner of a furniture company drive 30 minutes each way to meet you and measure a room for you?? I never write reviews but, in this case, it’s only fair to do so. Philip LaPorta and his furniture company are the best!!...
Read moreI ordered an executive desk from Phil about a month ago for my new home office. I live in PA and was reluctant to buy such an expensive piece without seeing it first, and without any previous knowledge of the company. Worried about shipping time, I gave Phil a call and he was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and thorough. I could tell that he cared and had a professional-level knowledge of the products he was selling. He promised a quick delivery and top-notch packaging to ensure no damage during shipping. He even wrapped the desk himself and texted me pictures of it going on the truck with the packing slip for tracking. The process was extremely smooth, delivery was fast, and the prices was right. I would recommend buying from Phil at Laporta Furniture company to anyone. He was a pleasure to work with and I absolutely love the look and quality of my new desk. ...
Read morePhillip the owner here went above and beyond my expectations. We live across the country and found a set of furniture we wanted and this store was the only place we found aside from wayfair that stocked the set. He shipped it to me at a very reasonable rate. I called him and he personally talked me through the process, from ordering to delivery. The set was a bit far out and he set proper expectations and called to check in with me regularly. The furniture was delivered in beautiful condition and was almost all the way assembled such an easy process. I appreciate this business and will 100% be ordering all my furniture from here...
