STUDIO ANISE
Studio Anise was a designer furniture Store that operated in Soho New York for over 10 years. Studio Anise closed in 2022 due to complications stemming from the prolonged Covid19 shutdown that affected many independent small retail businesses.
During our operation for over 10 years we represented several premier furniture suppliers and served hundreds of satisfied clients. Unfortunately, there were delays in delivering a few orders mainly in 2019 and 2020 due to sudden changes in payment terms with some suppliers and the onset of the Covid19 supply chain / shipping issues worldwide, long shutdown period and dramatic slowdown of local business. Unfortunately, our suppliers refused to offer us any help during this difficult period. However, ALL ORDERS WERE DELIVERED TO OUR CLIENTS. In addition, we offered clients who had delays with their orders free delivery and store credits in order to win their satisfaction.
Please see below reply to some of the reviews listed in the illicit and defamatory website mentioned above. Some of the reviews they list are unfounded or fake. They were removed by Google.
Studio Anise received many positive reviews during its years in operation.
SOME REVIEWS ABOUT STUDIO ANISE

★★★★★ Mar 13, 2022
Can’t recommend Studio Anise enough. Paul did an excellent job helping us think through all of our options with regard to furnishing our new apartment. He was very patient and responsive when we asked questions regarding status updates. Of course, given current supply chain issues, our furniture took longer than expected, but this was not Paul's fault, and he kept us looped in on where things were. From order to deliver it took us about 9 months, which in today’s world is what you have to expect. Would highly recommend Paul if you want a more personal experience. He went above and beyond by coming to look at our apartment and giving us advice regarding colors, etc. We're very happy with our Rolf Benz couch, Freifrau chairs, and Janua dining table - Paul is the way to go if you’re in the market for this type of furniture in the NY area.

Paul is the most wonderful helpful man I have encountered in the trade in a very long time. I purchased approximately 10 pieces for two clients from Anise and am thrilled with the quality and service provided
My clients are very happy and so am I
I will continue to use Anise for future jobs
★★★★★ Aug 18, 2021
Amazing, amazing, amazing all around. Paul has been transformational for our new home across basically all furniture, bathroom and the entire kitchen design and manufacturing. Never met anyone like him while we were scouting furniture and interior design. Paul guided us through everything while never being a “salesman”. Couldn’t be happier. Quality is truly high end and his advice always spot on. Paul is still part of the rare crowd that takes real pride in his own work. If you are looking for something special - Paul is your man!

Unique furniture and friendly staff. We purchased a couch here that we couldn’t find anywhere else and is extremely comfortable (we’re very happy with it).
★★★★★ Mar 11, 2018
Studio Anise has one of the best client services I experienced in NYC high end furniture stores. I was very surprised to see some negative reviews here, my experience has been the exact opposite. I recommend Studio Anise to everyone, very good quality Rolf Benz furniture and beyond with terrific customer service.
★★★★★ Dec 9, 2016
I purchased 2 beautiful pieces from Studio Anise. On both occasions, the staff was very well-informed and extremely helpful. The service, adherence to promised delivery, and the actual deliveries were impecable.
★★★★★ Dec 1, 2015
From the time I walked into the store until the time I left, there was always a staff person or the owner to answer my questions on the brands they carried. Paul asked questions which gave him an idea of what style of furniture I was looking for. After I put my order in, he gave me a delivery date, actually it came a day earlier. Paul stated he changed the way the shipments were coming because they were not dependable but since he changed to air freight, he has not had a problem, everything has been on time.
I had a wonderful experience from the time I walked into Studio Anise (which is a very classy furniture studio) right through to delivery and even a follow up call from the owner. Thank you for making this such a good experience.
★★★★★ Oct 12, 2014
Interesting modern furniture store with stylish merchandise. The manager spent significant time with me to explain alternative choices within my budget and was patient while answering my questions. I am not an easy customer to please and I was satisfied with the chairs that I purchased and the overall shopping experience. The furniture arrived safely packaged and on time as promised.

Worst decision I ever made. AVOID this store ! We ordered bathroom fixtures in December and paid in full and haven`t received them yet (August !!). .....
All items were delivered to client. We apologized for the delay mainly stemming from long wait for shipping tiles from Sicily, Italy. We had to wait on the supplier to arrange for shipping.
★☆☆☆☆ Feb 12, 2020
Worst retail experience of my entire life. I paid them over $11,000 by check 11 months ago for 4 Rolf Benz chairs and 2 small Rolf Benz ottomans and still have not received them. They won’t give me my money back. They have told me dozens of lies, always a different excuse, never taking responsibility. It's on the next boat, they're on vacation, they had to redo it, on and on. Read yelp reviews. This is common practice for them. I have filed a lawsuit, to which they have not responded. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. The only good reviews they get are from people who buy something already in the store. If you order something, kiss your money goodbye.
Order was delivered to client. We apologized for the delay caused by production and shipping issues and offered the client free delivery.
