Virginia Wayside Furniture

If you enjoy a saleswoman looking down at you for wanting to buy expensive fine furniture, but not the most expensive, this is the place to go. I thought maybe I was on a reality show; no one could be this snobbish to a customer!
There are other fine furniture stores in Richmond/​Henrico that are amazing to work with and treat you like a valuable customer. You can have a pleasant experience AND buy high quality furniture — but not at Virginia Wayside Furniture.

outdated. unreasonably priced

Very nice, high quality furniture… The type of stuff that you would expect to see in estate homes. Excellent customer service. Ask for Ron. And be prepared to pay a nice price.

I purchased a large entertainment center and sofa from this store. When I received the entertainment center, the men installing it put 7 or 8 holes in it and didn’t bother mentioning it to me. When I discussed it with the store, they did order a new center. I did notice however, that they had the damaged center in the store, selling it as new (they repaired it).
Secondly, I purchased a sofa. When deciding on a fabric, I mentioned to the salesperson that I would be using it for a living room with two small children. Any moisture at all (even water droplets) permanently damaged the material. I discussed this with Virginia Wayside. They talked to the manufacturer and offered to let me purchase new cushion covers (with the same material) for $ 150 a piece. Ultimately, I went to the manufacturer myself and they sent me a check towards the purchase of fabric to have custom covers made.
I will not be using Virginia Wayside again due to poor customer service and concern for deceptive practices

This furniture store is a RIchmond institution and has been around for close to 50 years. They carry a lot of different furniture lines, like Drexel Heritage, but I go to look at the Stickley.
I love the mission period and happen to have a couple of vintage family pieces, although, alas, they’re not actual Stickley. In Florida, I owned an arts and crafts bungalow and Stickley is perfectly proportioned for those small houses, being from the same period.
They also have a nice selection of area rugs here.
