Tres Amigos Furniture & Accessories

While I think they have some nice, sturdy pieces, be prepared to wait months to receive your item (s). I ordered a kitchen table and chairs from them and it took almost four months to have it delivered, and when it finally came in, it had scratches and marks on it (this was not a distressed piece). The manager was nice about it and sent someone out to buff and wax the table, but some of the marks are still visible in the sunlight. I ordered bar stools from them four months ago, and the still have not arrived and there is no update on when they will arrive. They say it is because all their items are made in India, and it takes so long because they are shipped over on boats. I guess you get what you pay for here — prices are better than some of the higher-​end furniture stores, and they do have some unique, rustic type of items, if you don’t mind waiting for months and months with no updates on the pieces you have ordered and already paid for. I will no longer be purchasing any furniture from Tres Amigos.

If you need some reasonably priced one of a kind furniture then this is the place for you. They had some lovely pieces here. I would suggest that you read some of their comments about shipping and the proper size of the items though. There seemed to be a communications error with some of our questions/​concerns. And I do not speak Spanish well enough to correct anyone. So I was at the store I would take my tape measure and get the proper dimensions. But if I were online shopping then I would not order pieces that needed to be a specific size.

I bought a nightstand direct from the website. Site was easy to navigate (but beware of tricks, see below.) I had occasion to query them using the website form, and got a reasonably timely, helpful and friendly response. In a few days the item, a rustic nightstand, arrived with so much packaging that it took me 20 minutes of struggling to remove it from the crate. This is not a slam… it’s points in their favor. Once freed from layer upon layer of packing, the artisanal craftsmanship was exactly as described and expected; the piece is solid and, well, rustic. Heck, I don’t care that it’s faux rustic… so am I.
HOWEVER, I have some definite suggestions, since I’m unable to use the item as desired! Tres Amigos should revamp their product specs (my item was listed as 17″ wide, but their so-​called width was actually depth! What is listed as «length» (say what? in a nightstand?) was really the product width, and the item does NOT fit my intended space. Other Tres Amigos online items properly describe product dimensions, using «depth»… why not all?) Also, the website offers a disclaimer that the door opens in the opposite direction than the photo shows. This is unnecessary webmaster laziness. Why not simply FLOP the photo? How hard can that be? (This was not an issue for me, since I caught the disclaimer.) Also, back to the crazy mixed up dimensions, they turn out to be approximations. Actual width of the item was .25″ wider than stated (after decoding their idiotic system). Take everything with a grain of salt.
Tres Amigos seems to play around with pricing and «sales,» so stay vigilant. The item I received today is $ 50 more on the website than last week.
The item is as expected (aside from dimensions), except it has a strong odor of insecticide laced with polyurethane varnish which I expect will dissipate at some point, especially since I’ll probably be forced to use this in my bedroom and not in my bathroom as intended. Currently, it’s outside airing. Mainly, I’m disappointed not to have my item fit its intended space.

Great selection for Mexicali and southwest looks for your home. Staff is very knowledgable and most off all they don’t bug you while you shop like all the other furniture stores.

This place has awesome stuff, but terrible customer service. I ordered products online only to receive an email 5 days later telling me that FOUR of my five items are on back order and that it would take up to THREE MONTHS for the items to come in. When I called to see if they could send me the one item that they DID have in stock, the woman said she would have to charge me $ 10 for shipping even though shipping would have been free on my entire order if the items had all been in stock. When I asked her to waive the fee since they are inconveniencing ME by not having four of my items, she said no. I also suggested that they start marking items on their website as out of stock if necessary and she said they can’t. Wow, awesome way to treat your customers.

Their manager Paula is excellent at customer service. We bought a table and when it was delivered, there was a crack in the top. She cheerfully replaced the table with another one we picked out. All delivery charge were covered.

Love Tres Amigos! So many of my favorite accent pieces as well as lamps have come from there. Sorry they closed the Scottsdale Road store. I would go in there every week not expecting to find something but always did. Today, I finally got to the Peoria store looking sconces. No luck on them but found a lamp that was love at first site. Had to buy it! Love Tres Amigos!

My other half saw a commercial for Tres Amigos around Christmas Time and has been dying to go.
We made it last month and again today… I must say they have gorgeous furniture and just our style.
We love the Mexican Rustic look and found many pieces we would love to own as well as decorations.
The employees greet you when you walk in and ask if they can help you right away but they don’t hound you like other places do.
We shopped and purchased some beautiful items. There are also items for your yard or patio and really cool ceramic pieces as well.
Definitely will be back. again and again!

Tres Amigos is one of those places that you have to go inside with your expectations properly calibrated or you’re going to find yourself mesmerized by their ridiculous «sale» prices.
Do they have some cool stuff? Absolutely. I highly doubt there’s any reasonable, centralized venue nearby that offers the variety of «authentic» (yes, I’m quoting because the weak is implied) Mexican furniture and accessories for home and business décor. Looking for a giant, 15 foot tall metal sculpture of Don Quixote? They have you covered. Looking for a mini bar, with bar stools made from horse saddles? They have that too. Everything from pottery to cacti to tile to kitchen tables and chairs, especially those long wooden tables with bench seating that you sorely wish you could fit in your dining from just for the cool factor.
Still, there’s something off about this place when you look beneath the surface. The prices, even factoring in the discounts, are typically still off the charts for what you’re getting. Not everything is «authentic» either, and I found several items that were just imports from China. Furthermore, if you take a look at the whole «distressed wood» designs that you find on their furniture, everything from wardrobes to cabinets to shelving and even the mini-​bars, you’ll realize that it’s not what it seems. It’s not authentic, real distressed wood of any vintage, it’s just wood that’s been made to look distressed so it can be sold as «artsy» rather than «furniture made from crappy wood.» Unfortunately, whenever I’m in one of these stores (and this new one in particular) you will see people scooping this stuff up like it was the greatest thing.
Personally, I can’t understand it. Why pay highway robbery, even during their «Grand Opening Sale» for furniture made from purposely distressed wood, when you can buy the truly beautiful furniture from high quality woods for a fraction of what they charge here? You’d have to be either out of your mind, or simply have more money than sense.
The other thing that bugs me is the pricing games that this store plays. On sale for 50% off, but it’s ‘original price’ has been marked up so high that you’re not getting any real discount, and certainly not half off! Lots of stores do it, but this place is one of the worst offenders I’ve seen.
As I stated at the outset, you need to go in with your expectations properly set. If you know the furniture isn’t always what it seems, if you know that not everything in the store is truly «Made in Mexico» nor is it really any cheaper because of the current sale, you can still find some gems. In my case, I picked up some cool decorative items for Dia de los Muertos the last time I was in there. One of the few things they don’t over price, probably because they need to move the merchandise in a hurry, unlike their furniture offerings.
I’m calling this one two stars, because while I did find something there that was worth buying, it was still off putting to see what’s really being sold, how expensive it’s being priced and that their sales are such a joke. My opinion and mine alone, but there is much better value to be had in Southwestern furniture. Be careful shopping here and you’ll be fine, but don’t drink the Kool-​aid.

If you like the rustic pine Mexico style of furniture you have to check this place out. They have a large selection with many different styles and sizes. They also have a good selection of decorative accessories to choose from.
