We are so thankful to have walked into Cabot House Furniture in Framingham and met Mary Stefanides. It was our first visit to Cabot House, and the selection and layout was simply amazing. We were purchasing an entire new house of furniture and Mary led us through the many luxury brands in the showroom, explaining the benefits of each manufacturer. Her knowledge and passion for interior design was evident as she assisted us in finding pieces that worked together between different brands, and worked tirelessly throughout the process drawing a common thread between all our choices. We are so excited

Designer Mary Stefanides at Cabot House Framingham is simply amazing to work with. Mary was able to see my vision immediately and went with it. She put many options together for me that were spot on. She goes above and beyond any other designer that I have worked with in the past. Cabot House offers such a wide array of high quality furnishings and through Marys strong knowledge of each of the manufacturers products combined with her extensive research she has chosen just the right pieces for my project. She has been extremely patient and has kept me on track! I have 100% confidence in her

I met Mary Stefanides from the Framingham office accidentally. I called that office and she picked up the phone. I inquired about a piece of furniture that I wanted to buy for over a year but did not know how to get it done for a reasonable price. Mary was ready to help right away and knew what to do. She quoted the best price I could get for some time. With that success, we started planning a purchase of a new sofa-sleeper that I also needed for one of my bedrooms that was almost empty after someone who lived there died.. She sent me a lot of pictures of different brands explaining the quality

We have been working with Mary Stefanides at the Framingham location for the past few months as we purchase new furniture and accessories for our new home. Mary is a very talented designer with wonderful ideas that we wouldn't even think of. She is very dedicated to her clients and has often gone above and beyond to make sure that we are happy. I look forward to working with Mary in the future and learning about all the exciting ideas she has for our new home.

This was my second time at one of Cabot Houses stores and yet again the service was excellent. Staff was great about keeping their distance and keeping their masks on, and more importantly they were thorough about answering my questions. It feels good to buy and support local, especially when its quality like Cabot House! Will keep coming back.
