Sure it isn't cheap and that is because the pieces are exceptional. Nice selection, good color choices, very entrepreneurial-lending couches until your special piece is ready is a really nice touch. They know what they are doing and bring a special zing to the area.

Both my husband and I are very happy with their service! This is our first time buying modern furniture. Bought a couple of furniture pieces from Alchemy (sofa, dining table) and had their designer assist us with color choices and layouts. A nice collections and most items are reasonably priced (we are not ready to pay $10k for a couch). The furniture arrived as promised, but our condo was delayed for 2 months.

I visited Alchemy after friends suggested it and was sorely disappointed (dont tell my friends). Yes, the staff is nice like other reviewers said.

I ended up getting one of their sofas that has a simple sleek look (metal frame). It was not the most comfortable but I wanted it for a sitting room to look pretty. I have had it for less than a year and the sofa frame has already cracked and looks like it is smiling at me. I dont use it often nor am I over 160 lbs. I will never spend a couple of thousand for a sofa again from this location. I have never been happy with Chinese products made to look Italian and I wont be fooled again. I will just save for what I really want next time and not be fooled again. Buyer beware.

Best experience I ever had in furniture store,
if you dont want furniture that exactly same (like from mass produced IKEA or Crate & Barrel) as your neighbors or friends have, this is the place to be.
Highly educated people, and very friendly,
Hey, its not common to get serviced by Ivy League school educated people in any furniture store.

I bought a couch from Alchemy and I get compliments all the time when I have guests over! The color combination they suggested is totally nothing I thought I would EVER consider but it turned out so luvly and matches my wall colors~ They even lend me a couch when I was waiting for mine... Being a hungry architect I think they have great prices, quality and service! But I wish they had a store in LA since I will be moving soon...
