Design Quest

Hands down the best furniture store in Grand Rapids. Immaculate displays, designer brands, and a pretty affordable clearance room that holds surprises for broke girls like me?! Yes. It’s real.
I am a lover of modern furniture– and it doesn’t get better than this. Herman Miller, Knoll, Loloi, Alessi, and MoMa are some of the brands you will encounter here.
You will probably come in here wanting just about everything, and realizing that the prices are not exactly «budget-​friendly.» Just know, you get what you pay for, and if you want the best for your money this is the place to be!

High-​end modern furniture and home store that is a feast for the eyes… and a drain on your bank account. As you saunter through the impeccably-​arranged showroom, pause to admire a lounger, only to look at the price tag as your eyes go «AhhWOOOOGAH!» right out of your head. Thousands of dollars, folks. Be prepared to pay through the nose for the design and cache of well-​known names like Eames, Herman Miller, Noguchi, and Hastens.
If you have the patience and time, venture further to check out their clearance section in the wayyyyyy back where there are some interesting pieces and deals to be had. There is also a vintage MG TC back there behind some mattresses, but I don’t think it’s for sale.
We found a groovy bright yellow silk rug for my dining room. Antonio the sales rep was friendly, honest, and hands-​off, in a good way. He ‘read’ us accurately (the mark of a true sales professional) and made our shopping experience easy and enjoyable.

Great selection of unique items. This is not your average furniture store. Be prepared to enjoy the experience if you like modern and contemporary styles. I purchased a bedroom set and dining room table. The salesman was helpful and delivery was free and next day.

I’ve visited the store several times and never found enough sales personnel. On my third visit, I visited the store with a friend who was searching for a rug, I did find a dining room table on clearance and then ordered chairs to match. That was nearly 3 months ago and I’ve yet to receive my order. I called the store several times to check on my order which was initially to be delivered within 6 weeks. I’ve never been contacted directly about my order unless I’ve made the call to inquire. Still waiting and won’t visit the store again. Customer service not a high priority which is a shame for this high quality, high price store.

Tom Host of Design Quest provided efficient, thoughtful assistance in my search for a particular hard-​to-​find chair model. Working with me entirely by phone and email, he thought ahead several steps, anticipating the type and format of information (including photos) that I would need in order to make an informed decision. Having worked with a lot of design professionals recently, many of them in person in NYC but others in different locations around the country, I know all too well how rare and meaningful this kind of service can be. And although I can’t visit Grand Rapids anytime soon, I certainly appreciate the fact (beautifully visible on D2’s website) that this store actually hosts shows of artists’ work. Very cool all around.

I absolutely love this store. However, I cannot justify giving them 5 stars. My mom and I stopped in the day after Christmas, mostly just to window shop. However, I was also hoping they might have some cool Christmas items that’d be on sale. They had woefully few holiday things, but those were not marked down one penny!
Mom and I had tons of fun checking out all the cool kitchen and decorative and other small items. Mom wandered over to look at furniture, and after a while I joined her. However, it took forever and a day for a sales person there to even say hello. As we were looking at some sale items in the back, he let us know that there are more clearance items in the warehouse way in the back. Quite a few of those prices were incredibly reasonable. There were a number of items I would seriously have considered buying if I lived in the area.
I did purchase a lamp about which I’m very excited. It was at the front of the store, and was full price, but at $ 89 I thought it to be reasonably priced considering the base is maple. I’d been looking for a table lamp for two months now, and had not found anything I’d liked or could afford (I’m just not willing to pay $ 200+ for a simple table lamp!).
If I had an unlimited budget for home furnishings, I would definitely spend lots of $ here!

If you like modern, this is your store. We have several pieces from D2 and have been very happy with them. When we need something to supplement our living space, this is typically where we start the search. And even if you don’t buy anything, you will get ideas.
They aren’t inexpensive, but they also have a lot of cool gift ideas and lower cost items. Good store to browse on a wandering weekend.

I’ve never actually purchased any furniture here. However, I’m an avid window shopper.
They have an amazing selection of today’s most modern Scandinavian designs. Many of them are probably over priced. At the very least, you can get some ideas of what sort of furniture you are settling with when you eventually buy some dull couch from Art Van.
