A 5 Star rating is as good as it gets. Being new to Sarasota, I was lucky to run across Norris Furniture. This is one of the best furniture stores in Sarasota, Florida. My sales person was Renata Gronkowski. I only went looking for a sofa for my gathering room and ended up buying a bedroom set and living room pieces as well.
Renata is a personable interior designer who looks beyond the sale. She listens to the customer and presents different options to allow the customer to choose what the customer actually likes. She draws out their preferences to guide them in making the correct choice for their needs. When furnishing a new home, it can be a struggle; especially if you like nice things but want your money spent wisely. Renata recognizes that and makes it so much easier.
I had the best experience with no pressure. I especially appreciated when I liked something and Renata didn't think it would go with the look I was trying to achieve, she was honest enough to just say "No", explained why it wouldn't work and gave me other options to compliment my style. I ended up being so much happier.
It has previously been my motto to not recommend anyone to my friends or acquaintances because I am afraid they won't have the same level of experience I had. In this case, I am not shy about recommending this store and Renata. I have been...
Read moreOur first encounter with Dorothy Burlakowska told us, as it will you, everything you need to know about this caring, Norris interior designer. My wife and I visited the Norris showroom in Sarasota very late in the afternoon a couple months ago and we later learned that Dorothy was just headed out the door, having finished her days work. Well within a few minutes she had approached us and introduced herself. After twenty minutes of small talk and discussing our needs, Dorothy proceeded to take us to the design area and spend forty five more minutes with us. This from a woman who was headed home ! It’s quite rare today to meet a retail salesperson who you can actually call a friend because of the attention, professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness, reliability and genuine care that she exhibits toward her clients. Dorothy has been to our home already and the time spent was invaluable, and we have another visit planned. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with her knowledge, and the amount of time that she has spent with us at our new home. We would highly recommend her expertise to anyone in need of space planning/interior design. We thank you very...
Read moreI had a great experience with this company located in Sarasota. I worked with Renata Gronkowski. She was wonderful. We are furnishing an entire house in the Sarasota area and I was a bit overwhelmed with the project. Renata is very detail oriented and organized. I showed her a few pictures of what I liked and she then was able to present choices for me to choose from. Renata listened to what I was hoping to achieve and brought it all together with fabrics and styles of furniture. She is a delight to work with. I did place an order while I was in Florida for some of the rooms and then left the state to return to my Northern home. Renata continued to work with me via email and phone calls to finalize the selections she had helped me with in store as well as look for additional pieces that I needed. She has been extremely accommodating. I also never felt pressured when I first went into the store. Norris Furniture has beautiful furniture in their showroom but they also can order from a vast number of companies. Highly recommend Renata and...
