I ordered a dresser from Houzz and paid extra for the 'room of choice.' The dresser arrived at CEVA in Atlanta, GA four days ago and now they are telling me they can only drop it off in my driverway per Sabrina. I called Houzz and spoke with Steve who states they can refund me $99.99 for 'room of choice' and I can find a local move to move it upstairs or they will return it back to Houzz in California and charge ALL the freight charges there and back because 'that's their policy.' I told Steve of Houzz that if I accept those terms and the dresser has been damaged during shipment, then the responsibility would be on me and that was not the original agreement; Steve had nothing else to say. I requested a Manager to call me back as soon as possible and Steve stated 'I can request it but I can't promise anyone will call you.' I am so upset right now and I'm supposed to be giving my attention to my job and not doing the job of Houzz! Horrible experience!
They don't answer the phone(a lot of their numbers are now disconnected) and when eventually they did answer a rude woman, Elena Spitz, told me that I have to keep paying because I agreed to that 5 years AGO! 3 months ago Houzz raised their monthly fee 100% and even that I said repeatedly I do NOT want the service anymore and sent an email canceling, they keep charging my credit card instead of taking my name off their website...I changed my credit card number and they KEPT charging $324.00 monthly! I'm disputing thru my credit card but this company needs a CLASS law suit! I had my business for many years yet never had this situation with any merchant nor service provider, at this point Houzz is literally stealing my money!

Purchased a vanity from this outfit. The vanity was delivered on Aug 22,2024 and installed a few days later in the basement bathroom. I don't use that bathroom very often so have not had a chance to use it since maybe two weeks after it was installed. A couple of days ago (around the 20th of October), mind you less than two month after delivery, I was in that bathroom and noticed that the vanity was falling apart on the bottom right and left sides. I contacted the store only to be informed that they will not do anything other than send me a repair kit with wood filler and paint. I told them that that wasn't acceptable and that I wanted them to either pay for repairs by a professional or exchange the $1,000 vanity for a new one. Just wanted all potential customers to know what kind of business they are dealing with.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this company. I was charged for a full year of their Pro services despite never using the platform. Immediately after being charged, I reached out to explain the situation and request a refund, only to be denied with no reasonable explanation. Their website makes it almost impossible to unsubscribe, which feels intentionally designed to trap users into paying for something they didn't want.
This company seems more interested in profiting off of unsuspecting customers than providing actual value. I find their business practices to be deceptive and unfair. I will never use this service again and strongly advise others to avoid it. Terrible customer service, terrible policies, and a complete lack of accountability.
I HAD MY ACCOUNT HACKED AND EMAIL CHANGED, SOMEONE ORDERED 1800 WORTH OF ITEMS FROM THIS SITE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORTHLESS,

Do not use this website. They offered me a free trial so I thought I would give it a try to figure out a configuration for my bedroom. There was nothing that stated how much a membership would be if not cancelled before the free trial was up. Well turns out they charged me $300 the day before my trial was up and now they won't refund my money! Terrible customer service! Don't use! I am sure there are much better options out there, who aren't crooked and only out to get your money!

The piece I bought is pretty nice! It looks good and feels solid, so no complaints there. Delivery was smooth, and they packed it up really well. Overall, I'm satisfied with it, but not totally blown away.
I ordered fence panels. They were promised May 1. Nothing by May 15 so I called customer service. They can't even confirm it's been sent. Could not (or would not) connect me to a supervisor. So no info, no panels. No nothing. All that's left is to challenge the cc payment. If you can find there products anywhere else, go there.

I recently received the wrong chandelier from Lighting World Decorators through Houzz. It cost me $52 to return THEIR mistake. They have now said the merch was damaged and they can't refund my money.
1) it was THEIR mistake
2) I paid $52 to return it
3) I shipped it in the original packing
4) it was NOT damaged
5) they said it was and won't refund my money
6) I feel they did this so they didn't have to refund
7) DO NOT ever buy from this unethical company. The worst customer service ever. They are liars.
They have now asked for me to contact them through their help on their website since this was posted. I have done so numerous times previously.

If I can give them 0 stars I will. This company is a SCAM! DO NOT ORDER anything unless you want to pay for something that it would never be delivered to you. For the last 4 months l have been waiting to receive my refund of $1,825 for a furniture that I ordered but was NEVER delivered to me. After numerous emails and phone calls to them no Houzz' representative ever provided me with an answer as to why I am paying for something that was never delivered to me and why I do not receive a refund. I am shocked that this company even exist and is still in business however, I am convinced now that the only way to receive my refund is to take a legal action.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear about the frustration with your order. After review, it looks like a chargeback was filed.

In accordance with the aforementioned policies and procedures, we are not able to process any refunds or replacements until the chargeback has been settled for at least 90 days. We have communicated with you the date that you should see your refund reflect into your account. If you have any questions, please reply to the most recent email correspondence.

I called and spoke with a representative on June 13th who confirmed that I should not have been charged for adding a team member to my subscription because there were no additions or changes made to my profile. However, when my ticket was elevated to the next level to have my subscription cancelled, due to the repeated issues had with billing, I was told that I would not be refunded and a team member was added on May 24th, which is the same date I contacted customer service due to a third charge of $99 AFTER I had been told the day before that my account was up to date. Even though I explained that I, 1- did not enter the site until on May 24th because I was traveling for the holiday, and 2- do not have any team members. My ticket was closed without a response, and I have yet to be refunded for the $60 over charge received.

I received my 2 chairs on time, but there was a missing part to one of the chairs. The company reached out the next day requesting the item missing, but I have not received a email from them in 10 days.
The company Houzz, along with their Merchant Swiss Madison refused to compensate me for a defective toilet after it was discovered after 4 months of use. I was with their customer team for hours within days for over two weeks. I would caution a purchase from this company with a "buyer beware." I do believe that a toilet costing over $500 should last more than four months, considering toilets last for decades. If a company sells a consumer a defective product they should take accountability and make it right.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear about this. After review, this was reported outside of Houzz policy and is not covered under manufacturer warranty. Additionally, as the item has been installed, it is unable to be returned. However, it does look like we are going to follow up in October once replacement parts are available. If you need additional assistance, please reply to our last email correspondence.

We are remodeling a home and I purchased many items from houzz in the past year. Everything was great until one vanity top arrived badly damaged. I've made 3 attempts to get some help through their customer service to no avail! The old "high volume but we'll get back to you" line means no return call or email! Very frustrating... beware!
We apologize for the delay in getting in touch with our team. Thank you for allowing our team to assist! We are happy that we were able to resolve your concerns.
Do not buy from houzz they shipped me terribly damaged chairs. I've been trying to return them with no luck. They are giving me the run around, and now I have to go through the hassle of filling out forms with my bank for a charge back it will take months to get a refund. These were for an occasion that has since past. Terrible service.
Houzz is blatantly raising prices just before black Friday. Typical. I was in the process of making a $1100 purchase. I went back to my cart and the item magically went up to over $1800. Ridiculous and shady, but typical big business profiteering tactic. I called customer service to give them a chance. I was "helped" by some loud, very nasty woman who made many excuses as to why they would not honor the original price, and she spoke over me numerous times as well. Steering clear of this terrible, shady, company and their horrid employees.
I purchased a galvanized metal fountain to go with my outside decor end of 5/19. Three months later, it has areas that are rusted and corroded, and Houzz will not answer emails. I am past the return deadline, but galvanized steel isn't supposed to rust at all. They sold me an item that was not described accurately and will not last as expected.
Ordered an item November 13,2021 delivered in a damaged state on November 23,2021. Followed all instructions for return and have been unsuccessful. A return address was sent by a vendor email without instructions on shipping or refund process handling. No resolution as of December 27,2021. After researching my experience and Houzz there are many issues when encountering items delivered damaged and no receiving prompt customer service follow up.
We are sorry to hear this. Our team has responded directly to your support request. If you don't see our response in your inbox or spam, please let us know and we will resend it!
IF I could have given a negative number I would be a negative infinity and beyond number.All I can say is it is not worth the headache, heartache and money. The lack of satisfaction you get from using this software is tremendous. Google search " Houzz Complaints" to get more details or better yet just sign up with a company like Build Book. They may not have all the pretty pictures in their format but it sure works. The worse experience with Houzz I have ever been through.

Bought a full dining set from them. Everything was okay, until one, then two, then three of the chairs started to come apart. The company REFUSED to do anything about it because it was a little over a year. The 10% coupon they offered on future purchases added insult to injury.
Probably moving this year and we know where we won't be getting our new furniture.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. This item has a one-year warranty. As this product was purchased in January of 2022, you are now outside of the warranty claim window. Our seller is therefore unable to offer a refund or a replacement.
In addition, there was an option at checkout to purchase a 5-year Mulberry Protection plan, which was never purchased. We encourage our customers to add a Mulberry Protection plan to their orders whenever they purchase, as most of our products only have a 30 day return window for defects. If a product becomes defective past this 30-day window, Houzz relies upon whatever warranty the manufacturer will offer. If a Mulberry Protection plan had been purchased, we could have further assisted with a replacement. You can read the full details of our Return Policy at houzz.com/return-policy.
We do apologize for the poor experience.
Sincerely,
The Houzz Team
So far, so good. We'll see how durable the furniture turns out to be.
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.
Houzz has a rating of 2.1 stars from 1,658 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Houzz most frequently mention customer service, credit card and delivery date. Houzz ranks 46th among Furniture sites.
