Customers frequently report difficulties in reaching support and receiving timely resolutions, leading to frustration. While some patrons appreciate the extensive product selection and smooth purchasing experience, the inconsistency in service responsiveness and problem resolution highlights areas for improvement in their customer service approach.

I made a mistake with my delivery address. I responded immediately when CS asked and no one responded and no one delivered my stuff. The address I typed doesn't exist so they shouldn't have delivered to any house - but no one has reached out.
The ordering process was hassle-free. And when I needed more chain for the light fixture I ordered, customer service was extremely helpful and sent me updates regularly until it arrived.
We ordered 3 barstools from Houzz, made in USA. As Canadians, it can often be a lengthy process to have items delivered across the border. These came within the promixed delivery period, and were easy to assemble. My only complaint - the site didn't actually say they had to be assembled (although in hindsite it is logical), so I was surprised when 3 very flat boxes arrived.
Easy ordering. Fast delivery. Excellent experience. Beautiful merchandise
I never received a corresponding email for confirmation abs I never received my merchandise.

Very easy to order on the website. Timely shipping. Item arrived in excellent condition. Tracking was easy to follow. Very happy with my purchase
Ordered a light and what I received didn't look remotely like the picture and then had to spend $36 to send it back. Never would have ordered if the picture had been accurate.

Flimsy stencil for $34. I returned the item. I had to pay for postage. Amazon does not make me do this. I guess I'll stay with Amazon.
My order was damaged in transit. I've been wanting this color bed for about 2 yrs and now I can't have it because it was damaged. I'm highly disappointed!
Hi Akilah,
Thank you for allowing our team to assist! We are happy that we were able to resolve your concerns.

The item arrived a week before expected and the heavy box was intact without damage.
I ordered an accent chair that was listed as available for delivery within a week or so. I then received a message from the seller that they needed a couple more days but shipping was delayed by a month. Then Houzz contacted me notifying me of the delay, while at the same time still listing the chair with a delivery time of one week, and Houzz still does on their site.
Meanwhile, I'm told my chair won't arrive for at least another three weeks now.
Ridiculous and unprofessional.

I had a problem with the delivery address for my queen bed. Despite the fact that the order had shipped and was due to be delivered in less than 24hr, I spoke with the Houzz customer service member who assisted me in rescheduling my delivery. He was very polite.
I was totally impressed!
Being a custom home builder we are tax exempt and that process was seamless. They had the product I needed in a pinch and shipping was super fast.
This bed was exactly what I wanted and expected. It was very well packaged, no nicks, dings etc and easy to assemble. It was also shipped quickly. Overall very happy with the purchase!
I have placed many orders with Houzz and I find them to be very reliable. They offer a wide variety of merchandise that appeals to me.
We hired a contractor that was highly rated on Houzz and who received multiple Houzz honor/badges. Long story short -- it was a horrible experience: uneven flooring, collapsed shelving (see photo), sloppy tiling, doors that won't close, etc. I went back to Houzz to more carefully inspect all the positive reviews and it became clear that they were fake. I submitted ample evidence to Houzz and requested that they look into it further. Their response made it clear they had no interest in investigating fake reviews. They said I should leave a review of the contractor to help inform others which I did, but they never published it. My investigation revealed a wide web of fake reviews present on multiple contractor pages.
I understand the need for consumers to do research before hiring someone and I certainly wish I was more thorough, but for a company to lend their credibility with awards and badges to vendors that are paying for false positive reviews is shameful. And on top of that, Houzz won't publish the negative review I submitted for the contractor. They suggested I go to houzz.help.com to see why my review wasn't published and I got the error screen pictured below.
Remodeling is stressful enough, save yourself the trouble and find your contractor elsewhere.

I am still awaiting instruction on how to resolve my damaged delivery item. I promptly reported (report was acknowledged) then provided requested pictures. 4 days later I have not heard a response.
When the delivery truck came to deliver our order he entered the property thru a gate clearly marked that this entry was not for large trucks. He damaged the gate to our complex... it was destroyed and needs extensive repairs. I reached out to Houzz and did not get any reply back. I understand they outsource delivery; however, i would have expected some action or reply from Houzz as i did not hire the delivery driver - they did.
Thank you for the feedback. Our team has responded directly to your email. We are sorry for the frustrations this delay caused.
Answer: Good question Maggie. I don't think there is. I think this site is just there to help their vendor and not assist consumers in making informed decisions. I found had a contractor who had defrauded us and changed his business name on Houzz. I posted a review on his profile notifying the public of what he had done to us, and Houzz did not publish the review. I joined Sitejabber to warn the public about Houzz.
Answer: I began as a Pro on Houzz and spent $2000 on Advertising. This was supposedly for a year of top exposure. No one purchased, the couple of calls I received were people wanting to USE my service for ideas. I have since discontinued complimentary initial appointments. These people are the biggest scammers in the world! I'm still one of the Pros just to see if anything bites but I noticed they go into vendors photos and try to find similar product then they sell their products. Great way to sway your client and to steal customers!
Answer: Go straight to the top at Houzz. Ms. Adi Tatarko, CEO, Alon Cohen, Pres. If tha doesn't work, I suggest you file complaint with the Consumer Affairs Division of the California Attorney General's Office.
Answer: The Pros, at least at the beginning, were not in competition with this company (Houzz). They convinced the "Designer" world that the were strictly collecting ideas for the public and to help improve the vendors chances of being hired. Those reviews on the Pros are about the Pros, they come from their clients. About 2-3 years ago, Houzz began selling out from under all the vendors! They are SO low they have gone into the photos of the pros, look for a product they have that might be similar to something they sell and lead them away from the pro. The 1-2 stars you see here are the reviews for "Houzz" and their service but the reviews under a Pro are for that Pro. Don't be fooled... If you want the job done right, call the Pro! Listen to these reviews of Houzz and you won't get burned. Two different animals completely!
Answer: Steer clear. The advertising doesn't work, and although they originally started up as a company that would work alongside the vendors, they are now selling out from under most of them, especially the interiors decorators! They are SO low they have actually tagged products inside some of the photos of interior designers and tabbed out similar products to stay the customer away from the Pro and to purchase through them directly!
Answer: Do yourself a huge favor and find it somewhere else. Houzz contracts with third party sellers and their freight companies, they're just a middle man. What a nightmare this has been.
