Reviews:

We appreciate the large selection of pieces available and the assistance given by the professional staff. Jody helped us to select pieces that fit our lifestyle, decor we already own, and the challenging dimensions of our living room. Maja was very helpful with follow up questions and completing financing paperwork. Thanks to both for the hours of assistance they gave to us in our living room update.

I was the lucky winner of the $2K Norwood Gift Card! So of course, I already knew what I wanted. Jodi was patient and very helpful in picking out a new dining table and chairs. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks Norwood and Jodi!

We worked with Jody at Norwood Furniture in Gilbert. She gave us quite a bit of advice and options with no high pressure sales.

– Sherry J, Google Five Star Review 5/26/2026

Amazing shopping experience with Jody Marcus. She got us exactly what we were looking for and her pricing was very competitive. Highly recommended! Fast forward 7 years: We finished up a remodel of our home and needed new furniture for just about every room. Our first stop was Jody Marcus at Norwood Furniture. My plan was to have Jody put a furniture package together for the main living spaces and then source guest bedroom furniture elsewhere, primarily to save some money on less frequently used rooms. Jody hit another home run! Jody’s vision for our home was nothing short of amazing. We ended up buying everything from Norwood Furniture as a complete package that was competitively priced and professionally selected. We couldn’t be happier! If you are in the market for furniture, Jody Marcus at Norwood Furniture should definitely be your first stop.

Jody was professional, personable and helped us ultimately decide on a couch that will meet our needs. We’ve always been happy with the quality of furniture we have purchased from Norwood.

-Lorrie P, 1/23/24

Jody spent a lot of time with me during multiple visits selecting my couch and chairs, selecting colors, offering advice on placement and future furniture selections. She is helpful, patient and kind. Great service Jody!

– Linda D, Google Five Star Review 9/20/23

Jody Marcus was fantastic to work with. She was attentive to what we were looking for and made our selection very easy.

– Jo G, Google Five Star Review 9/16/23

We have been shopping at Norwood since we purchased our home in 1996. It is always our first stop when looking for furniture, and usually our last. Norwood is family owned and provides great service. Their collect of furniture is huge – and they offer even more through vendors online. More important than the size of the collection, is the quality of the furniture. It is all top notch! It is beautiful and built to last. We have the same dining table and chairs that we purchased 25 years ago. We oil the wood each year and have reupholstered the seats a few times. It still looks fabulous! We have also purchased two sofas, two sets of living room chairs, a desk, and two bedroom sets for our children. Each piece has been just right for us. Looking for furniture? Head to Norwood. You will find what you need today, and return for more!

Love this store. They always have the most beautiful furniture. I worked with Jody and she was wonderful to work with.

– Robert P, Google Five Star Review 9/29/23

My wife and I had a great experience with Jody M. the customer rep for Norwood. She was extremely knowledgeable concerning the love seat and couch we were shopping for. We had gone to many furniture stores to no avail. Jody gave us instructions on cleaning and caring for our new furniture. During the build process she sent loaner furniture for us to use for approx 2 months. We will be going back to Norwood for a coffee table and pillows for the couch. Thank You Norwood.

– Ted R, Google Five Star Review 7/22/23

Jody did a wonderful job helping me chose many items needed for my new apartment. She printed out my floor plan , placed furniture so that it would fit in the space I had , made valid suggestions and did this all with the continued patience. This was my first purchase at Norwood and it was a pleasure working with Jody. I am sure you will see me again for all my furniture and accessory needs.

– Bonnie, Google Five Star Review 4/26/23

Jody went above and beyond to make this shopping experience so wonderful. Her patience and knowledge as well as her excellent eye for detail gave us much food for thought when choosing items. Her suggestions and room planning didn’t leave us guessing and allowed us to make perfect selections. In a day and age such as we are going through, it is hard to come across knowledgeable employees and those you can put your faith in; however, Jody was certainly the exception. Jody answered all our questions and went above and beyond. We will recommend Norwood to our friends and certainly make sure that it is our number one stop when we need more merchandise, thanks to Jody. It is nice to work with someone who loves what they do for a living – it shows! Thank you Jody. You rock!

– Bonnie C, Google Five Star Review 4/2/23

Highly recommend this furniture store, high quality, beautiful pieces, priced reasonably. We had an excellent designer, Jody M., who assisted us. Very quick response time to questions and top notch customer service. We are thrilled with our new furniture and will be going back soon! The delivery and set up was amazing, as well, a big thank you to all of the support we received from Norwood.

– Katie K, Google Five Star Review 4/1/23

Jody Marcus at Norwood was fabulous to work with! I took advantage of the free consultation and loved all the input she had to contribute. She made finding the right furniture for my space a pleasure! Thank Jody and Norwood furniture!

– Amy G, Google Five Star Review 1/21/23

Great experience. We had an idea of the dining set we were after but Jody gave us great ideas and we ended up with a set we were much happier with. We really appreciated her suggestions and all her help.

– Jim E, Google Five Star Review 1/21/23

Norwood Furniture offers an amazing selection of beautiful home furnishings. Meeting Jody M and working alongside her was truly a blessing! My wife met up with Jody M several times prior to introducing me to her and Norwood. Since we recently purchased a new home, we were in need of dining room furniture, guest living quarters, and counter height stools for the kitchen island to start with. Jody offered several options which made our decision to purchase very easy. Jody’s years of experience, knowledge and interaction with her clients was amazing and a rewarding experience. Jody, Norwood and the Team are highly trained professionals with a sense of pride, integrity, and incredible customer service. Thank you, Jody, for making our purchasing experience so effortless and fun!

– Ron and Heidi Yanover, Google Five Star Review 8/23/2022

Jody was great to work with and helped make decisions with confidence.

– Amy H, Google Five Star Review 8/21/22

We had an excellent, and very productive, experience today at Norwood Furniture in Gilbert. Our designer, Jody, was a joy to work with; so knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to details. Her design skills, combined with her extensive knowledge of furniture products (and options), helped us arrive at purchase decisions that we feel great about ! Jody made the experience of furnishing our new living room fun; we’re looking forward to working with her again soon on other rooms.

– Kevin R, Google Five Star Review 8/13/2022

My husband and I were looking for new bed pillows. The Bedgear pillow brand is amazing! No more sore neck or shoulders from sleeping. Jody was very informative and helpful with the selection. Great selection of non standard pillows and wonderful customer service!

Carol G, – Google Five Star Review 1/20/22

My wife and I absolutely love Norwood Furniture! We have purchased many different pieces of furniture from Norwood’s over the past 15+ years to furnish our home and have been very pleased with the quality and service we received from the designers on the floor to their delivery and customer service representatives after the sale. In our most recent experience, we worked with Jody M. to purchase two reclining sofas for our family room. Jody was very attentive and patient with us with respect to what we were looking for. Her attention to detail with respect to fabric colors and ensuring that the sofa dimensions would fit the layout of the room were sincerely appreciated!

– Hector B,Google Five Star Review 1/16/22

Our designer, Jody Marcus, did an excellent job of helping us through the process of purchasing and designing our dining room set. There was no pressure, extremely professional, and a very nice person to work with. We recommend Jody and Norwood to our friends and family.

– Marilyn L, Google Five Star Review 6/15/2021

Great service and fair pricing. Jody is a fantastic person. She shared her design knowledge to meet our needs in a truly professional manner. Outstanding!!

– Dan K, Google Five Star Review 6/14/2021

Love the unique furniture and decor items!

– Mary W, Google Five Star Review 6/9/2021

We enjoyed the service provided by Jody. Jody was amazing enough to have us drive across town to buy our breakfast table at a much lower price than other vendors. We will definitely consider Norwood Furniture 1st, on any of our future furniture purchases.

– Marcos G, Google Five Star Review 6/6/2021

We were fortunate to have Jody work with us to choose furniture for our home. She was patient and offered us here professional advice and opinions for us to decide what we wanted to purchase. We knewher suggestions were sincere. This is not the first time that we worked with Jody; during the past 2 and half years we have purchased a number of pieces of furniture for our new home. Thanks Jody for all of your help. If you are in the market to buy furniture, Norwood is a great company and Jody is fantastic.

– BE J, Google Five Star Review 6/5/2021

Jody was very helpful, had good ideas that we had not thought of to make our dining room benches work better.

– Debi D, Google Five Star Review 5/31/2021

Jody was so helpful and took all the time we needed to help us with decisions.

– Jennifer H, Google Five Star Review 5/31/2021

I have shopped at Norwood’s for seven years and I’ve been happy with the quality and style of all my purchases. And the prices are quite fair for the quality they deliver. My designer Jody has designed both my formal living room and great room and her advice is always spot on. Thank you Jody and Norwood’s!

– Valerie S, Google Five Star Review 5/31/2021

Jody Marcus was knowledgeable and very helpful. She made me feel welcomed and was not pushy at all. She provided a lot of helpful information that was very useful in making my final decision. I’m very thankful for the help.

Jody was so laid back, highly professional in crafting a custom set we now love!!

– Summer B, Google Five Star Review 5/22/2021

Easy, fast, customizable and comparably priced to less quality furniture stores.

– JC M, Facebook Recommendation  5/16/2021

We enjoy working with Jody. She listen to our needs and help us put together what we wanted. No pressure and we didn’t feel like we had to buy. That means a lot to us. We would differently shop at Norwood furniture again and refer friends and family to your store. Thanks again

– Connie K, Google Five Star Review 12/14/2020

The showroom is deceivingly large, with many quality furniture options. After several trips to various furniture stores, finding only veneer options, we were pleased to see gorgeous solid wood pieces at Norwood. Jody was a wonderful help, assisting us with our finish selection and final purchase. We are very pleased with our purchase experience and cannot wait for our furniture to arrive!

– Alyson J, Google Five Star Review 12/1/2020 

My husband and I recently found ourselves at Norwood Furniture in Gilbert after a few not so positive experiences with some other local furniture stores. We are very glad that things worked out this way because we got to meet and work with Jody, our interior design consultant. Jody has been professional, knowledgeable and very personable. Jody has made us feel appreciated as customers and we want Jody and Norwood to know we appreciate the great service. We are very excited about our new purchase and look forward to working with Jody again. Thank You!

-Guadalupe W, Google Five Star Review 11/11/2020

My Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jody Marcus. Her expertise as an Interior Designer has proven to be invaluable. We appreciate her patience and the amount of time she has spent with us. We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. We are in the process of building a new home and Jody was able to download our specific floor plan and create images of various design options. We are very happy with our purchases and will continue to work with her on future projects.

Jody is an absolute dream to work with, professional, appropriate and SO adaptable and creative. We are so pleased and excited about the options she presented. I wish we could give her and her manager higher marks. Norwood Furniture is in a class of its own, quality, professional and fun!

-J Fedorenko, Google Five Star Review 12/21/2019

“Fabulous place to shop for quality products. Options are endless with the large variety of furnishings. Professional sales team/decorators to assist you in your planning who are patient and knowledgeable. I have worked with Jodi who is passionate about her work; her decorative skills assisted us in our purchases.”

-Barb B, Google Five Star Review 10/8/2019

“Our dining room purchase was a great experience. Our designer, Jody, had great suggestions for us. We are excited to receive the finished product. Enjoyed working with Norwood.”

-Robert L, Google Five Star Review 3/6/19

“After looking at many other stores that sold furniture, we finally settled on a great piece from Norwood. They had the quality we were looking for, and offered President day sales prices and tax paid by them. Jody was or sales designer and she was extremely patient with us and our indecisiveness. Buying furniture in today’s market is very difficult with so many stores selling low end furniture that fail within a year or two. They offer a 5 year warranty at a low price so you can get piece of mind that any issues over 5 years will be covered. Looking forward to receiving our new made to order leather sofa and matching chair. Thanks again Jody.”

-Joe R, Google Five Star Review 2/26/19

“Jody was great. She was very knowledgeable and helpful.”

-Leisel A, Google Five Star Review 2/25/19

“Norwood is our first choice when deciding upon new furniture and design of our home. We always come in to Norwood because the people bring us back, especially Jody. Thank you Norwood.”

-Lori W, Google Five Star Review 1/19/19

“Jody at Norwood kept in touch with us through the entire process and explained all our options in detail. She was awesome! We would definitely go back.”

“Jody was very knowledgeable and helpful in designing our dining table and chairs.”

-Joyce K, Google Five Star Review 5/22/18

“Upping my rating to 5 stars. My furniture came and I couldn’t be more impressed with the delivery. The guys (Dustin and Jullius) covered the door frame with pads so as to not get the furniture dirty or mar the paint. They were pleasant and friendly and gave us time to inspect everything. I have to give another shout-out to our designer, Jodie, for her suggestions to tie the new furniture in with the old. The living room looks wonderful!The whole experience of dealing with Norwood Furniture has been outstanding.”

-Deb M, Five Star Yelp Review 3/21/18

“Jody was a joy to work with. Norwood has a stunning selection for all tastes. Most furniture these days is flimsy and/or tacky. Norwood has the quality pieces that you are looking for!!!”

-Red FX, Google Five Star Review 2/9/18

“Being relative newcomers to the East Valley, we had no idea where to shop for furniture. After stopping at four or five stores and being frustrated at the lack of quality furniture and service, we made our way to Norwood. Here we not only saw several pieces we liked, Jody very deftly helped us select colors and patterns that would mesh nicely with our existing furniture. The lack of high pressure selling was so much appreciated. Jody asked lots of questions about our style so she could understand our tastes and encouraged us to take pictures of our home so she could help design our living space. Norwood is our go to place for future furniture purchases and we will certainly seek Jody’s assistance for design.”

-Deb M, Google Five Star Review 2/3/18

“Jody was very informative and easy to work with. She had a lot of good ideas. I recommend working with her.”

-Mick B, Google Five Star Review 9/5/17

“Jody was so helpful with our large living room. She sat down and measured things out. The quality of the furniture is superb. We are so happy with our sectional. You truly get what you pay for. High quality and great customer service.”

-Erin H, Google Five Star Review 12/5/17

“Jodi Marcus was most helpful in finding us the right sofa for our living room. We were in a bit of a rush and she was ready to help us work through options and make a great selection. It was our first time purchasing through Norwood and it was a great experience!”

-Ann W, Google Five Star Review 12/10/17

“Norwood Furniture Store has high quality furniture, with very good warranties. We were extremely pleased! Jody, was the name of the nice saleslady that helped us, and was extremely knowledgeable about the furniture and fabrics and helped us to narrow down what would be best suited for what we were looking for. We brought in pictures and measurements of the areas we wanted to furnish, and Jody had mentioned Norwood Furniture also offers a free service for her to come out to the home and give us more ideas, if needed. We would definitely return to Norwood. Thank you Jody!”

-David T, Google Five Star Review 8/24/17

“My wife and I came into Norwood just to check out their furniture, just to see what they had. As we made our way through the various areas of the showrooms, we were approached by Jody Marcus. We told her that we were thinking of getting some furniture for our living room. My concern was the quality of construction, where it’s made, as well as price. She was a keen listener and helped us select the various pieces that met our needs for design, quality and where the furniture was made (USA). Now we wait for the furniture to be delivered in due time, and hope it’ll go without a hitch. So far we’re very happy with the experience, and especially happy with the fact that we’re supporting local business!”
