Hi, Tricia
I wanted to let you know that I received the rug yesterday. It's so beautiful and really exceeded our expectations. We just couldn't be more pleased, and are so happy to have found your shop online. Thanks again!

Tricia,
Received the copper tea pot today. Another happy customer!
The copper pot is a beautiful addition to our Swedish copper collection at our cottage, where we spent a great deal of time in the summer.
Thank you!

Trish,
The chandelier is gorgeous!! The lamp restorer is very talented as I can't see the wiring at all. And he finished the ceiling 'cap' to blend perfectly with the chandelier.
Just wanted you to know we are really delighted. We won't get it installed until probably April as our kitchen construction has been delayed, but we can't wait to see it lit!
Buying online without seeing the item seemed risky to me, but you made it a very happy and easy experience! Thanks again.

Sorry for the delay, we've been wanting to write to tell you that we are thrilled with the bookcase. It is stunning. Quite possibly the nicest, most well-made piece of furniture we have or may ever have. Thank you so much for your great customer service as well; the delay in shipping was not frustrating with your constant and most pleasant communication.

The armoire was delivered last Sunday. I am so thrilled with it. It fits in the space just perfectly and is the focal point of our "great" room. Thanks for working with me on the modifications; the shelves work just fine.
Happy Holidays,

Tricia,Thanks for welcoming us to Avolli once again. As with our last purchases, the items we bought from you look even better at home than in the shop! The design and size of the Spanish console table perfectly suit the entrance hall. The sconces are just right with the alabaster light fixture you sold us on our last visit, and the oval table is charming with the Danish loveseat and chairs. We look forward to the arrival of the beautiful armoire so it can take on its starring role in the upper stair hall!Best, J & JEssex, NY |

Hi Tricia
Apologies for the lapse... its been one of those crazy summers.Yes, the shipper called and I met them a week and a half ago for delivery and the secretary looks terrific. My client (and I) are both very very pleased. Your images were quite faithful to the piece. It has a quiet dignity which is going to work beautifully.
I DO know that the clock was delivered to the local clock repair man. He (repairman) reports that the clock looks quite nice, though frankly my clients and I have been too busy to visit his workroom for an inspection. I will try to make a point of seeing it in the next few weeks. But from your perspective - I would say that you have Happy Clients!!
Thanks for following up and have a great holiday week. I look forward to doing more business with you in the near future!!
CheersR.R. Soleburg, PA |

Thanks, Tricia.
For a transaction that didn't actually happen, your service has been amazing. You should be proud to be one of only a few dealers in the United States who are truly knowledgeable, professional and specialized in Swedish antiques.

Tricia,
I just received my smaller rag rug and I love it! It
looks even better than in the photo. It was packaged very nicely as well.
I can't wait to get the other rugs I ordered!

I wanted to let you know that the 1910 Danish Chest was delivered Friday evening and I love it. The piece works well in our modestly-sized dining room and will be a great help in storing table linens and such. Thank you as always for your exceptional customer service!
Thank you for going out of your way to find the best value in terms of shipping. Plycon did a very fine job - they were great to work with and were terrific in terms of delivery arrangements. I was initially scheduled for earlier in the week but they offered to reschedule the delivery for a time of day better for us in terms of work schedules. The item was well-wrapped and the delivery persons were professional and pleasant.
Thank you so much Tricia! I am so pleased as always.

Dear Tricia,
I wanted to let you know that the cabinet arrived. It is adorable and just what I need for my bathroom! I plan to hang it on the wall so, thank you for the brackets. It will be amazing and I just can’t wait to be able to put it up. Your things are lovely and we look forward to purchasing more from you in the future.

Dear Tricia,
Mere words cannot convey how fantastic this clock looks in person. It is everything--and more!
It is quite an enjoyable piece--it even looks great without the clock works installed. The depth of the coloring is truly amazing. I'm sure I'll loose my breath again tomorrow when the clock works are scheduled to be installed.
Many thanks to you for a job well done. Your unwavering attention to detail is your hallmark in providing excellent customer satisfaction. Keep up the great work!
Regards,

Dear Tricia,
I haven't had a chance to send you a message about the chandelier and dressing table mirror - they are fabulous. They arrived perfectly and are both lovely peices. The mirror is especially spectacular and makes my bedroom seem like a new place. My husband is enjoying it too!
Congratulations on your new store - I hope that we'll get to visit it in the near future.
Thank you, S.S. Lake Forest, IL

Tricia:
I assume you are off in Scandanavia finding all sorts of wonderful things, but if you get to email, I just wanted you to know that I arrived last night in Seattle and the chair is here. And it is wonderful! My wife arrives tomorrow and I know she will be thrilled, but I just love that thing. It has fun and elegance all in one. Really beautiful, so thank you very much for getting that one to us.
Cheers!

Just a quick note to say that the desk and arrived safely despite a torrential rainstorm this morning. The desk is situated upstairs in the barn and it looks fabulous. I can't wait for my husband to see it tomorrow. Thank you for sending the key under separate cover. I forgot to take it with me, so I will do so tomorrow.
The chair is just perfect and will be so cute in the linen fabric that I plan to put on it.
Best regards,

They're HERE!!!!!!!! It is now Sunday just past noon and they arrived a short while ago (11:30-ish.) Thank you SO much (even my husband said the are prettier and sturdier than he expected.) They arrived in fine form and we truly love them. While they look wonderful on your website, it doesn't begin to compare to actually seeing them up close and personal! I'm a VERY satisfied customer, and can't thank you enough.
Talk to you soon.

This evening I had the sincere pleasure of meeting a wonderful man. He never told me his name. He persisted through traffic jams and dark winding roads to find my home in Rancho Santa Fe. He brought my fabulous armchairs late on a Friday evening. They are perfect!
He was driving for Boston Truck Co., Inc. Invoice B 27458. It required two hours of back and forth phone calls to help him find his way. He was smiling when he pulled up to my drive. He hugged me good bye and left with a thermal mug of coffee and Christmas cookies. If only there were more people like him! If there is any way to identify him, I would like the carrier to know the extraordinary service given by this man.
If I'm lucky he'll bring my next pair of chairs; he knows the way now.

I wanted to let you know the sideboard arrived Sunday afternoon.
I immediately knew I had made the right decision when I saw it in my house. I felt as if I had owned the piece for years, because it looked so wonderful where we placed it.
My husband, who has made furniture and cabinets over the years and really inspects pieces he hasn’t made, has said on three different occasions how much he likes the sideboard.
I’ve never bought antiques online and normally wouldn’t consider buying something sight unseen and then having it shipped. However, the sideboard and the bench I purchased last year are so special in their design and in such nice condition, that they are my favorites pieces in my house.
Thank you very much!

I can't thank you enough for not only holding my butter dish until pay day, but also for sending it so carefully and quickly afterwards. It arrived in perfect condition and all my coworkers were gaga over it! The dish is truly wonderful and I have since gotten a coworker interested in the pattern so I had to beat her off with a stick. (just kidding). I did send her a link to your store's site so she could shop as well and keep an eye out for future goodies. It was a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to logging onto your site to see what's for sal in the future!

I've been getting in too late to call. I wanted to let you know that the bench arrived on Thursday, and it is beautiful. My husband and I love it. I will sit down in the next week or two and create my wish list for your upcoming trip!

Tricia, the table and chairs arrived yesterday. We are very pleased. They are entirely as represented, and they look wonderful in the house. We were especially pleased at what a good job had been done on the new leaves; frankly, those had been our greatest source of concern. Your shipper was also excellent, timely and competent. You have our highest recommendation, and please feel free to use us as a reference.

The armoire arrived yesterday!!! I absolutely love it. Thank you for all of your help and willingness to work with me to help me make this work. Unfortunately, it will not be in it’s proper place in the house for a few weeks. We are going to have it built-out so it can hold TV and other entertainment equipment. I will send you a picture when it is in it’s home!

I've never written a customer testimonial before, but you wholeheartedly deserve one! I admit I was a bit nervous about purchasing a piece of antique furniture via the Internet, but you made the entire process easy. The photos you promptly e-mailed to me were very helpful in showing the scale of the piece, its details, and its condition. And indeed , the piece is in excellent condition. So many times when I've shopped for antiques locally, I've found poorly executed repairs, pieces with heavy damage in visible places, etc. Based on the quality of the piece I purchased, I would not hesitate to buy again from Avolli. I also appreciated the accommodating and straightforward way that I was treated as a customer. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Hurray! We have the clock in our entryway and it is lovely. All went very well with the delivery. My husband is going to do the setup on Wednesday and may call Paula Marchand at Swiss Time for assistance. I'll let you know how it goes. Your envelope also arrived.
I'm so pleased with our Swedish antique. Thank you!

The clock arrived today several hours ahead of schedule. Craig has just set eyes on it for the first time and we are both in love with it. Thank you for all your help on this very special 40th birthday present. We will contact you if we need any help with the assembly directions.
All the best,

The furniture is in the house and looks great. Whatever problems happened with things not fitting into spaces were cause by minor things like fancy curtain rods that stuck too far into the corner for the corner cabinet to fit, etc.Wayne and Jimmy, the movers, were very, very nice and helped me with these decisions. Everything is lovely. I had a hen party last night for friends to see the house, and all my friends loved the furniture.
Yours,
