Cheaper is not always better!

by LWright76 at Citysearch

I have been on a bargain hunt for some items for my home so I went online and read about them here. They were very nice the whole time I was explaining to them what I had in mind. I mentioned I was in a rush and asked if they would have the piece ready by my deadline. They said yes. I needed a quote soon so they did and the price seemed fair compared to other similar fabricators to them. I debated and decided but then they were closed for a few days. After taking my order I waited. The project was completed and happy to see my finish product. Though I had a budget but I got what I paid for. I got a cheaper price and a cheaper piece of furniture. After a few weeks my piece of furniture was starting to come apart from one corner and the drawer did not shut right anymore. I just decided not to contact them anymore and learned my lesson cheaper is not always better. I do not recommend the furniture but the boutique side was very delightful. I will go back to check out their bargains on clothing.

• Pros: Nice people easy parking
• Cons: Too many days closed

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

by RMKB at Citysearch

I recently had a dining table and chairs made at Ja-Vi, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. I had shopped for quite some time for a set, and hadn't found anything exactly like what I wanted. They worked with me, included me in on the process, and created a finished product that is better than I even imagined. My family now has a beautiful set that will last for many, many years to come. The owners are warm and inviting, extremely professional, and genuinely kind and honest people. I also bought another side table from them; which I love. Their furniture is unique, well made, and beautiful. They also have a wonderful selection of jewelry, clothing, and gift items. The prices are very reasonable on the furniture as well as all of the other items.. They are creative and talented, and I'd certainly go to them with a project in the future. They are also very easy to get to, and parking is not a problem. I highly recommend this place. My only complaint is that I find something I want to buy EVERY time I walk in!

• Pros: Service, quality, price, parking
• Cons: none

Fantastic Furniture at Amazing Prices

by SiennaPlantation at Citysearch

My wife and I recently brought two pictures of Restoration Hardware furniture valued at $2,500 and $1,600 respectively. Ja Vi was able to precisely recreate both for half the cost and within two weeks. The service was superb, the owners were extremely friendly and responsive and the entire experience was flawless. We were so pleased, we are planning on having a kitchen table, chairs and bar stools made soon. What an amazing gem to find in the heart of Houston!
