After returning from WWII to a wife and two young children, Bob Roney Sr. opened Roney's Half-Price in Oakland, CA in 1946. Offering a variety goods, Bob packed the store to the rafters and offered a hands on approach to customer service that has been passed on down the line and continues today.
His two children, Katie and Bob Jr., joined the business in their twenties and eventually helped to relocate Roney's to it's current location in San Leandro, CA.Together with their children, Joanne and Robert, the Roney family continues to cultivate a 'customers first ' approach that distinguishes Roney's from other retail options for home furnishings.

We bought our bedroom set at Roney’s and we were so happy with the quality and workmanship that went into making this beautiful furniture! We dealt with Bob and he was friendly and extremely efficient with taking care of us. He even brought all that heavy furniture upstairs when he delivered it!! I would totally recommend Roney’s to anyone looking for quality furniture!

Roney's Furniture carries nothing but quality goods, well constructed, at reasonable prices. I always find something there. I have something from Roney's in nearly every room of my house. One room is all Roney's! And Bob even custom painted my bookcases. This is my go-to place for furniture and accessories.

Without question the finest place to buy high quality furniture. Bob Roney and Team are just the best. Highly informed, great showroom selection and ability to custom order. Great customer service, delivery/set up. A very satisfying shopping and buying experience. No pressure and professional integrity. I wouldn’t think about shopping anywhere else!

Big, funky warehouse stuffed with antique as well as modern furniture and interior design components ranging from upper mid-market to estate quality. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful staff; they make you feel like an expert even when you are not. Give yourself extra time to peruse the aisles. and fabrics; a truly unique selection that will make the most of any aesthetic. Lastly, be sure to take the time to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of the redbrick facade out front, it's a hidden gem.

Great place to buy quality furniture. Bob explained how good quality furniture is made. He recommended us to take our time and think about what we need. We ended up buying a solid oak wood dresser, it looks amazing. There is no sales pressure, there are no sale signs, they have reasonable prices for good furniture.

SO pleased with our purchase and the outstanding service we received. They are so helpful, and pricing is very reasonable. We bought a Canadel dining set, and there was a mixup with the chairs. Katie called within an hour to say she had already ordered the replacements and we could keep the others until they came in. No hassle delivery and just an all around great experience. Going back today to look for a sectional!

My family, (Us, Grandparents, Parents, Uncle & Aunt) have been buying fantastic & well made furniture from Roney's for over 3 decades!
Kate & Bob carry furniture that will be passed down though your family.
Nobody in our entire family has ever regretted, or had second thoughts about a single purchase.
My grandparents, as well as my parents entire homes, have been fully furnished with furniture from Roney's.
Our home is loaded with furniture we inherited, (from family, but, purchased from Roney's) or with lovely furniture that we selected ourselves with Bob&apos

What a great store! Such beautiful pieces and a such a variety of styles from classic, modern and rustic. We have been very pleased each time we walk in and even when we walk away from something we found ourselves returning even weeks later because we couldn't get a piece out of our minds until we bought it. the furniture is on the higher end but totally worth it! i know we will have these treasures for a lifetime. A+ service as well!

I y wouldn't think of going anyplace else but Roney's. Service, selection and the opportunity to wander around without being hassled. I've been coming to Roney's for nearly 20 years, returning just recently after relocating and wanting to buy new furniture. Bob and Kate Roney are just the best. You'll get honest, integrity and a fair deal. The sell "quality merchandise" and have years of knowledge to back it up.

Just got back from Roney's where we bought a Wesley iron bed.
Had looked on the internet and needed to see in person the possible finishes.
Katie helped us and the price we paid with tax and delivery/setup was about $150 less than what we could get via the internet.
So we bought it there, couldn't have been a nicer experience.

Our furniture was just delivered--3 dressers and 2 night tables.
The experience of shopping at Roney's, from beginning to end, was terrific. Katie was our salesperson, and she was very patient and helpful.
I always appreciate it when you can make "substitutions," whether it's in a restaurant or a retail establishment. My wife knew what she wanted, and Katie helped make sure she got it. The furniture was designed and custom-made to include our little changes.
The showroom is packed with great stuff, and the atmosphere is "no-pressure" all the way.

My parents just remodeled their house, and I helped my mom shop for furniture/decorate, and we purchased their couch, chair and ottoman, and two dressers from Roney's.
The shop is set up like a warehouse, really, but it's not so crowded you can't walk around. They have walls of fabric samples to choose from that are big enough for you to actually see the pattern/color and they allow you to take them home to see if they match your other furniture, carpet, walls, etc.
The help here is the best part. It's family run and I love that. A woman helped us with the ordering and choosing
