We had a great experience with Gala Futon. I needed a new cushion for a futon and Ayman was very knowledgeable and told us exactly what would be best for our situation. Not only is it a quality cushion, but for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend checking out Gala for any furniture needs.

We purchased a cube murphy bed from Ayman in mid-December (12/23). it was delivered this past weekend (1/6/2024). What a great experience. GREAT. Ayman is knowledgeable, professional, and honest. He made the buying process easy. Communicated when appropriate, and was reliable. We are thrilled with the new piece, and as impressed with the Gala experience. We will buy from Ayman again.

This place is amazing. I have had my futon for more than a year and it is holding up great and is so comfortable to sleep on. Ayman does not do a hard sell at all - in fact he tries to get you to wait if the perfect futon is not available. Most amazingly we had trouble getting the futon cover on and he stopped by our house on his way home to help! Amazing customer service and would recommend x100!

Excellent customer service. I bought a futon frame and mattress. Ayman, the owner, has decades of experience in the business and really knows his stuff. There are a lot of effusive reviews on Google and on Yelp, and they are pretty accurate! I found the best way to reach Ayman is email, rather than leaving a voicemail. I will return the next time I need new furniture and I will recommend Gala to my friends.

Returned here several years after buying a mattress to upgrade to a king size, and Ayman was again incredibly kind, informative, and helpful. Just a gem of a local business. He has high standards for quality and very fair prices.He also took my questions about sustainability seriously, which I greatly appreciated as this is a priority for how I spend my money. Will keep coming back whenever we need something for the house!

Fantastic experience! Definitely recommend for customer service, product quality, and delivery speed. Shiry Elfeel helped me with product and design selection which worked out perfectly. The speed of delivery was fantastic, during a time when supply distribution can be extremely slow. will definitely shop his store again.

I needed a power lift chair and Ayman was extremely helpful in getting me a quality chair at a very reasonable price. Top notch personal service and a great experience in every way. Highly recommend him and his company!

If you live in the MD or VA area, and are in need of anything futon (or furniture) related you need to go to Gala. I drove an hour from my home to his store for a new futon mattress and it was worth it more than I can say. First, it is the service. He gave me options, asked me questions which I hadn't even thought to ask and helped me pick out my futon mattress. Let me emphasize: he helped. He didn't pressure me to pick out a more expensive option. He also really cared that I went home happy. In a world of 'get it quick', and 'just order online', this independent small-business (with a lot of American made products!) reinforced for me the benefits and importance of shopping locally.

?? Marhaba! Good friend and brotherly confidant Ayman always seen and available — pleasantly busy with furniture sales as always, serving & pleasing, making sure every customer who walks into his magical store feels comfortable, well-attended, and above all “heard”!Covidmess and supply-line issues do not hinder Ayman and his associates from finding anywhere, worldwide, your custom order. Fast & efficient — at a very low markup!I myself was looking to acquire a few luxury end tables for siding a Turkish sofa-set in a high end condo rental. Ayman is earnest, fortuitously on-spot, with ears open, and ever attentive to my wishes. While he didn’t have in the store that which my imaginings are in search of… with confidence and aplomb and timely research, he imminently emailed me with options galore. For sure, yes… this great man is THAT good a furnishings merchant! ?? ?? ? Shukran, Habibi! ?———————————Fantastic little store front that is easily missed by Arlingtonians who have been here for decades. But don't be deceived! You will NOT find a better place to "discover" the furniture you did not even dream of before walking in. Owner Ayman and his fashionable daughter Shiry know the furniture industry at all social levels and for all budgets. If they cannot find exactly what it is you have in mind, be assured, it does not exist on the planet! Yet, they may recommend something new, exciting, and exceptional that was not in your visions. And you being pleased is their only focus. Ayman and Shiry, working together, will fulfill your interior designer dreams quickly, but patiently, and always affordably. [Take it from a long-time Arlington real estate investor and landlord: this place has no equal!] ?????

Had a great experience! As others have stated, Ayman is very knowledgeable about all things furniture! It's a little challenging to reach him if he's shopping with someone and you need to call the store because he's not able to pick up, and voicemail messages may not be returned so pack your patience. He's very responsive by email, however. I purchased a futon and dresser and I am pleased with my purchases! Delivery and set up went smoothly.

I needed a new futon mattress to go on an old tri-fold A-frame. This requires a mattress flexible enough to drape over the back of the frame, which is difficult to ascertain except in person. Confused and suffering from delivery-charge sticker shock after spending a few hours shopping on line, I went to Gala on a Friday afternoon and with Ayman's help immediately found what I needed at a reasonable price. Ayman is knowledgeable, honest, and very low key, and I drove home with the mattress in my car. He also correctly predicted, despite my skepticism, that my old futon cover would fit on the new mattress. It was a thoroughly pleasant, no-pressure experience and I would definitely go back to the little store in the little strip mall in North Arlington.
