**★★★★★ — Jill Childers, Sept. 2020**

> Urban Pad not only has the coolest and hippest design pieces - they have incredible designers to help you in any way possible! John and Heather know there stuff!  I needed some pieces for my home so I text John pics and when I went in to look they had everything I needed and more! Urban Pad is also a great place to buy gifts - They have something for everyone. 5 stars is not enough!

**★★★★★ — Sherlyn Henderson, June 2017**

> We have contacted John Gibson/Urbanpad several times over several years, I cannot say enough about his professionalism, work ethic and fantastic store. He has never disappointed us, whether quality, style or budget, he is spot on.  John delivers, installs, even makes changes to our existing décor while he is in our home.  Urbanpad is a unique, fabulous place to shop, full of warm and contemporary furniture and accessories, my favorite place to shop for home décor.

**★★★★★ — Lori Coles, June 2017**

> John made suggestions and then helped me choose, what worked best for my home. He is personable professional and up to date on style trends. It was a pleasure working with Urban Pad and would recommend to anyone.

**★★★★★ — meashea3, June 2017**

> Awesome designer in Little Rock!!  Not your ordinary traditional southern style! Unique, modern, transitional! Great retail store, cool furnishings and accessories!

**★★★★★ — peachespeach, June 2017**

> John's work is cutting edge and he is a pleasure to work with. His store, Urban Pad, is eye candy the moment you walk in. Affordable prices for an upscale look. Urban Pad is a MUST for decorating and a complete bonus that John comes with it!

**★★★★★ — Tache, June 2017**

> I was on vacation from Los Angeles and visited this store location with my aunt and was very impressed by the customer service I received. I met the owner John and he is very helpful and personable. The store is very clean and has very high quality items. I could tell that John values customer satisfaction! Thanks

**★★★★★ — Mahvash Kamran, June 2017**

> I have known the owner of Urban Pad (John Gibson) for over 8 years.
> my husband and I were building our house when I met John. He helped me so much
> with so many decisions and picking out the right furniture, lighting, rugs, colors so on and so on. I completely trust his taste. He is so talented and has such good taste. He has the greatest personality too. He furnished my place of business also and every day we get compliments
> on everything he has placed here. There is not another furniture store in this town that I would shop at other than Urban Pad. Little Rock needed such a contemporary furniture store like Urban Pad. I highly recommend John and even if one day I move from here I will hire him to come wherever I am to decorate my house. He is the best of the best!

**★★★★★ — markggreenhaw, June 2017**

> I love Urban Pad!  It's  the only place I use to furnish my home.  John's got a one-of-a-kind style that will make your place look modern and perfect. This guy knows what he's doing when it comes to design and selection - he's helped me for over 10 years - and you will be very satisfied with your experience and even more proud of your home when he's finished with it.  We just just did my dining room and I can't wait to have a dinner party!

**★★★★★ — Daniel Chapel, June 2017**

> Urban Pad is with out a doubt one of the finest sources for furniture and interior accessories in mid-south. Their showroom is always full of great contemporary furniture, art, sculpture, lamps, art and accent pieces. UP's inventory is always new an fresh with each trip to the shop.  It's always a pleasure to visit with Urban Pad's owner, John Gibson, for design help, inspiration or just a good helping of encouragement. As an architect, I have worked with dozens of interior design professionals, both great and not-so-great. I can say without reservation, John Gibson is one of the best. He works on all my projects requiring interior work as well as my personal residence.  He is always within budget and on time. John always amazes.

**★★★★★ — dwight pruett, June 2017**

> John has helped me with my home and lake house. I have found him to care about the quality of his work and goes that extra step to insure his clients are please with the results. A true professional to work with. I would recommend John to anyone.
