EVO Furniture Gallery

Jeff is a flat out Liar. We went into his store before thanksgiving with the goal to have a new couch by jan 1^st. When he found out we had a deadline he said «if you order today I can guarantee delivery by the first probably even a week before». New year came and went but no couch was delivered it took several weeks of bugging this guy to get him to honor his word and deliver it but one of the pillow was never delivered. Its been 6 months and we have zero confidence Jeff will end up honoring his word. He has made no attempt to make this right.
This just isn’t a person you will want to do business with.
Buyer Beware!!!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I really wanted to support a local business, but the seemingly congenial owner, Jeff, is a complete fraud. I bought a bed, apparently the first of its kind and it took more than 5 months to get delivered. Once it got here the delivery crew got grease all over the white fabric. Since I was so distracted by the stains I didn’t realize while they were at the house that the bed wobbled terribly… it was clearly missing pieces.
I called Jeff immediately and he send he would send someone out. A month later, a guy showed up to clean the stains but not fix the structural issue. That was last AUGUST. 9 months later, Jeff keeps giving me the run around.
Bottom line: don’t trust this guy — your money is best spent elsewhere even if it costs you more!

Buyer beware, indeed! I absolutely, wholeheartedly agree with the review that says «Buyer Beware». If I could rate this business with less than one star (and add that this guy is crooked), I would. Recently bought a chair and ottoman from EVO. Paid 50% deposit on order, with 50% due on delivery. When delivered, called Jeff at EVO to pay him the other 50% using a gift card. He says gift card didn’t go through. So I gave him a credit card. That went through, as did the gift card (huh?!). Called him to tell him what happened, he said he would reimburse me with a check. Never did. Called again twice and no response. So I paid 100% more ($ 400) than than what was owed. And don’t let his friendly, good guy demeanor fool you. He may be friendly, but he’s not honest. Must be pretty desperate to have to rely on tricks like that to stay in business for a little while longer.
Jeff Goldstein, the owner of EVO, used to own Desi Living Innovations. See what customers thought of him in that incarnation:

I had a great experience at EVO. I wandered in to the store shortly after purchasing my first home. I had moved from a one bedroom condo to a townhouse. .. so needed a number of new pieces. Jeff was awesome. He listened to what I wanted, looked at the space and existing pieces and helped me fit it all together. He has a great sense of style and was particularly helpful with fabric and color choices. He helped me stretch a little in term of design choice… so my rooms feel really special/​stylish. He also helped me from getting overwhelmed with all the choices I needed to make in a relatively short time. I love the results and would definitely recommend a visit to the store. Great quality. Great prices. Personalized service.

We bought a rug, chair, ottoman, and couch almost a year ago. It took us a while to choose the right fabrics but Jeff let us borrow samples so that we could see what worked best with the lighting in our home. There was a small problem with one piece damaged in delivery but Jeff’ s team came to try and fix it. When they couldn’t, they promptly replaced it – no hesitation whatsoever. We found the selection to be fabulous; exactly the styles we were looking for and the customer service was flawless. We have no reservations about recommending Evo to our friends and neighbors — buy local!

Buyer Beware!!! This is owned by Jeff Goldstein the previous owner of Desi. Mr Goldstein took our money at the Annapolis Desi store including several clients money and left town. All his stores closed and he spilt town and ever once returned our calls or our lawyers calls. He has and been reported to BBB and including warrants look him up. PLEASE… please do not buy from this company you won’t ever see your furniture or your money ever again!!!

If you live in the Navy Yard or on Capitol Hill (or anywhere else!) this is a fantastic furniture store. They are always incredibly attentive and the furniture is high quality and let’s you pick exactly what you want. Plus they are affordable for what you get, especially with free shipping and delivery. I just furnished two rooms with them. LOVE.

President’s Day Couch Sale!
While in a pursuit for a new couch, ended up here due to a friend’s recommendation and could not be more happy with what I found.
Jeff, the owner, was extremely help in showing all the different couches, custom builds and colors that were available. Having trudged to usual suspects for couches, EVO was by and far gave you the biggest bang for your buck. They rival the quality of places like Room + Board but for half the cost. Did I need to mention the couches are beautiful works of art?!
Probably helps that they include free set-​up and delivery with the purchase of couch.
Highly recommend making this one of your stops on the quest for a new couch, sofa or chair.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for a while, and watched all of the new retail and dining pop up. When I moved buildings a couple months ago, I decided to upgrade my couch and started looking for a sectional — which after just a little research I realized would be a huge purchase. I had seen Evo but never gone in, because it looked so high end I assumed it would blow my budget. I stopped by with a group of friends, and I’m so glad I did.
First off, Jeff, who runs the store, is super helpful. He’s willing to work with you to find a way to get you the piece you want without destroying your bank account. And although his showroom is on the smaller side, he’s got an extensive catalog of options, everything can be customized (down to the throw pillows, which he’ll give his advice on) and every option is the same cost — which is the biggest problem you run into at places like West Elm or Room & Board.
To top it off, Jeff kept the store open late for our group to keep looking around, offered me a loaner sofa, so that I could sell my old one while waiting on my beautiful custom piece, and the delivery team he works with is fantastic. My new sofa has now arrived, and it’s GORGEOUS, plus customized to fit perfectly in my space. Clearly, I’d highly recommend.

I’ve asked three times for a price quote on a chair. First and third time I was ignored. Second time they said they’d get back to me but didn’t. I tried to support a local business in my neighborhood but that’s three strikes. I guess they don’t need the business.
