I'm frankly stunned by a recent "review" of Porto by someone who claims to have had a less than delightful experience ordering furniture there. My experience couldn't be more different. I've gotten furniture and original art from Porto (the Raleigh location). And I rest happy in the knowledge that my pieces are of such high, handcrafted quality that I will someday pass them on to my chlidren as heirlooms -- just as my mother and grandmother before me did. The shopping and ordering process was also pure pleasure. Emily Barrett is one of the sweetest, most helpful people/interior designers I've ever met. She worked tirelessly with me to make sure I was happy with my purchases and that they would be the right complement for my existing decor. Couldn't have done it without her! To hear someone calling her "rude" or "unethical" is so opposite my experience that I find it, well, unbelievable, frankly. Go to High Point when the finest quality home furnishings and accessories are available right here, in Porto? No way. If you want fine furniture from a beautiful showroom where knowledgeable designers will help you make the right purchases for your decor and your lifestyle, head to Porto. Enough said.
Pros: high-quality, hand-crafted furniture from environmentally sensitive manufacturers, excellent service
Cons: the amount of time you have to wait for handcrafted (rather than assembly-required) furnishings
