Highly recommend to stop by Habitat and check out the shop. The friendly knowledgeable staff are very helpful along with the following through. The delivery staff is very professional and thoughtful putting the cherry on top of experience. The couches are single cushions, comfortable and extremely well made. My only concern was the length of time it took to build the furniture which Habitat had no control over. Two thumbs up!

I cannot say enough good things about Habitat. Of course every time I went in the store I would be star struck over their exquisite furniture and was excited when I could finally buy a piece. The transaction was very smooth, communication as we waited for the couch was great, and then we received our couch. Well I was so disappointed because I made the mistake of listening to my husband's advice about coloring. He's not great with design choices and his pick ended up not working at all for our lifestyle and coloring in our room. I called Habitat thinking I was SOL but told them my disappointment and to my utter relief and amazement they were able to exchange it for me for the color I had originally wanted (before listening to my husband). And now we have the most beautiful, comfortable couch. Also have to say that the delivery guys were super friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend Habitat. Would give them 10 stars if I can. The furniture is upscale and so is their service.

We Love this Store. We have been working with Summer for a few months now and she has been very helpful with our purchases. We furnished our Livingroom with everything we needed from Habitat Home & Garden. Also purchased to large cabinets for our dining room.

We love our outdoor furniture from Habitat Home and Garden. We searched online for weeks but we were unsure what the quality would be. We then decided to shop local so we had a comparison. Not only was Dakota, our salesperson, helpful but the entire staff from warehouse to delivery was extremely customer focused. Our outdoor furniture is very high quality and the price was reasonable and fair. We will shop at Habitat again, their style is wonderful and the experience was great.

Habitat Home & Garden is always on my list of places to visit when I travel to San Francisco each year. The store staff is always helpful, friendly, and professional. I never leave without making a purchase. The Hadley Sideboard was delivered in the time promised and in excellent condition. It is the perfect addition to my home in Georgia. I look forward to visiting HH&G in SLO next year. Cheers...

Habitat has some of the nicest furniture and home decor! I got a couch back in March that I am absolutely IN LOVE with! I just got my area rug and again it’s gorgeous, soft and really made my living room my perfect space to relax! Trust me, the wait times are long but it’s worth the wait!

Sharing the positive experience I had with purchasing beautiful dining chairs at Habitat Home and Garden Malibu. A special shoutout to Laura Lee who went above and beyond making my experience so enjoyable. Laura was helpful since the day I stepped foot in the store, offering to stay open after she saw me drive up just as the doors were closing. Laura opened up and told me to come on in and to take my time offering to help and assist me with swatches and any furniture questions I had. She then got my number and helped me secure the last 4 chairs in stock at the company having them shipped and inspected at multiple locations and showrooms. Laura was a true pleasure and a huge reason I went through with my purchase. I also lucked out with free shipping because of the October special that the store had going on. I'm excited to keep in contact for any of my future furniture needs! Laura already knows I'm in the market for more and is sending me pictures of stuff. Thank you Habitat Home & Garden and Thank you Laura :)

Taking the opportunity to send some quick feedback about my recent experience in the Malibu store. I’m a new designer starting a second career with a lot of intention and big goals. I made my first trip into the store a couple days ago and Laura Lee, you were so extraordinarily helpful and warm, making it so easy to not only shop but to really understand the ethos of the company and the way you work with designers. While I did purchase a beautiful planter, the experience wasn’t at all transactional. I felt like we’d begun a relationship that day. Nothing could be more important to me. I will be back often and will consider Habitat a trusted resource as I scale and grow my business. Thank you most sincerely. All my best, Elaine

It's always a joy to work with everyone at Habitat. From the salespeople, warehouse staff and delivery personnel. We have purchased several items from them over the past couple of years and the fine pieces never disappoint. The items are elegant, yet so easy to live with. They give a uniqueness to our space and we're happy to have such a great place to go for that special piece of home decor or furnishings.
