Reviews

Eight Citysearchers give Grossman's Furniture five stars:

• When I contacted them to see if they had the pieces I was interested in I was very surprised by their prices. They were lower than anywhere else I looked, even a local furniture outlet mall. AJ & John were very helpful and made sure I had my new furniture before Christmas even though there was a mix up with the factory. – blonde1125
