Osmond Designs — Local services in Orem

I loved shopping at Osmond Designs! I needed some smaller pieces of furniture to furnish my parents’ small 1-bedroom apartment. It has been a difficult move from their large two-story home to to an assisted living facility. My mom is the one who introduced me to Osmond Designs, since I don’t live in the area. We found the perfect dresser and nightstand! I also needed some chairs for their small table. So I went back and found the perfect chairs at the perfect price! My mom really wanted a small sofa or loveseat for her small living room, in case visitors came. I had a terrible time finding one that was small enough and that was the right style and color. I wanted everything to look perfect before my parents moved in. After searching online and looking at other furniture stores without success, I remembered Osmond Designs. So what do you know… I found the perfect settee! Perfect size, perfect color, and perfect style!!! It cost a little more than I had hoped for, but to my delight-I happened to come in on the day they were giving out Osmond Bucks!!!!! Bonus!!!! I was able to purchase a lamp table and pillow to finish the cute...

This store is misleading, dishonest, and way overpriced. My wife and I went in to see their collection. We found an accent chair we liked. Osmond's price tag said "Their price: $2,000. Our price $1,000". Then we just happened to visit Ashley Furniture. We came across the exact same chair and learned that Ashley actually manufactures this chair. Ashley's price was "$997.95". A quick google search on the model revealed that Walmart sells the exact same chair for $567.96. What a joke. Osmond Designs had removed the manufacturers tag so you can't search online and find it cheaper. Generally, I like shopping local to support local business. But when companies flat out rip off customers, I wonder whether it's worth the effort. I don't mind paying for quality either, but Osmond seems to think customers are stupid enough to pay them hundreds of dollars in profit, instead of marking up the price in an honest manner. I will not buy from...

So my wife and I were driving down State Street in Orem, Utah and we spotted a Furniture design store. We had some time so we thought we would check it out. We have been in typical furniture stores before and that’s what we were expecting. NOT!. It felt like we had discovered one of the best kept secrets in town. What a eclectic treasure trove. Chandeliers, couches, tables, dressers, flower arrangements, pillows, table ornaments, portraits, and much more. But it was anything but typical. We spent quite a bit of time carousing. And the personnel… well they lived up to the name. They were amicable, personal, helpful, and frankly beautiful people. I’ve been back three times so far and I always walk away...
