I have travelled throughout Asia and brought back many pieces(homeowner, not collector) and there is no need to go, for shopping, at least, because Asian Barn truly is as good as it gets. and the owner is delightful and ever ready to accommodate!

I’m an architect and a fan! For me this is the best traditional Chinese furniture store in Manhattan. Gorgeous furniture and accessories at an affordable price. Sam is also extremely friendly and reliable. I found exactly what I was searching for for years and could not find anywhere at affordable prices — an entryway Ching-style armoire in black. Sam gave me a good deal and delivered it the next day to my door for a small fee. If you’re looking for Chinese traditional furniture and accessories — this is the place to go in NY. Highly recommended!

This place is AWESOME! Huge storeroom with gorgeous East Asian furniture(apothecary tables, deep red and blue tables, and giant wooden ornate doors/bedframes). I went in thinking this would be overpriced, but I was blown away by the prices. On top of the regular price, the lady in charge gave me a great discount. Shipping to my 4th floor walkup was only $ 50 and the store was suuuper flexible about delivering the day/time I wanted and was very communicative over the phone and letting me know when they left the store and when they’d be at my bldg. Definitely will be a repeat customer! Such great stuff, awesome prices, and fantastic customer service.

My wife and I went in looking for an armoire, found exactly what we were looking for, paid what we had budgeted, and arranged for delivery, all within 30 minutes of arriving. Delivery occurred 2 days later at precisely the scheduled time and the piece looks great in our room. We will definitely go back. Highly recommended for Chinese antique furniture and very good reproductions. Thanks Sam for excellent, friendly service!

Came in here today and bought them out — trunk, end table, hallway drawer, and three monkey statues — but it was because they were having a 30% spring sale, so I couldn’t resist. The owners are from Guangzhou, China and get all of their furniture imported in. These days, when most consumers don’t want their stuff«Made in China» it was truly nice to hear people saying: «Wow, this stuff is actually made in China? It looks great!» Being that I’m Chinese, I couldn’t help but puff out my chest a little upon hearing that. But seriously, the furniture is the real deal. Yes, it could be more traditional, in the sense that in some places in China, they actually go down and saw off the tree and hand make it as you watch. But not anymore these days. It is authentic as you can get in the States. The prices are good too, especially considering much of their furniture is re-used wood in good condition. If you do come here and decide to purchase, remember that the two owners are old fashioned Chinese — they come from a small village just outside of the major city of Guangzhou — so they will allow haggling :) But please, be reasonable. Great find.

I stumbled in here while wandering around on one of my lunchtime walks. What a treasure trove this place is, with a lot of refinished, and authentic Asian influenced furniture. I don’t like my living space to be represented 100% by Crate & Barrel, and I like to mix in the occassional Budah, just in case any of my eclectic mix of friends drops by. Seriously, they have a really cool selection of Budah’s in this store that is better than anything I’ve come across at various flea markets. They also have reasonably priced bench seats that are solid wood, and provide extra storage, with laquered wooden tops, and painted in a colorful way, usually with a lot of goldleaf trim. They have the more traditional book cases, and nice varying sizes of glass top dining room tables. They have a very deep showroom that has a wide variety of pieces. The proprietor said they deliver to Brooklyn, so I’ll be headed back after I take some measurements. This review is more for the quality and diversity of furniture stock, as compared to a traditional big box store.

Chinese antique and reproduction and new production furniture. They have quite a bit of gaudy Chinese stuff, but a decent amount of standard furniture. They are a little higher than better priced furniture places, but they also appear to have good quality furniture. They run their own factory in China, so the salesman said.
