Exceptional
November 15, 2023
Updated review

Was looking for the company I can relay on to buy a new chair. Check several on the internet and red customer's reviews. The Modern Back was a nice name and I checked the place. Talk to Tom Walls he made a very good impression on me. We made a deal and I am very happy customer now.

Very Positive Experience and a Great Chair!
November 2, 2023

My shopping experience was very positive. Tom made me feel comfortable from the moment I stepped into his massage chair showroom. He answered all of my questions and was professional. He went above and beyond by helping expedite the process to get my chair in my home at a time frame I requested. Delivery was very smooth as well.

Great firm to do business with.
September 11, 2023

Tom worked with me to find the best solution for me. I'm a tall guy and most chairs are not able to align with my arthritic bones. He made sure I got the best solution. I got a good product, fair price and great service.

I'm so happy with my experience at The Modern Back. I had a lot of questions about the massage chair I was interested in. So, I called The Modern back and spoke with Tom who took his time to patiently answer all my questions and give me the information I needed to finalize my decision. The delivery service was excellent, and my chair was delivered on time and assembled perfectly. I'm very happy with the price I paid and would tell anyone interested in buying a massage chair to buy from The Modern Back!

Best Customer Service Ever
June 25, 2023

Tom was extremely helpful. We wanted a massage chair but really didn't know the differences from one chair to another. He spent time listening to our needs and suggested a chair that was not as expensive as the one we were thinking of purchasing. The chair is perfect for us. We are in it every day.

Great people to work with!
June 9, 2023

The affiliate named Tom that was assigned to me was great! He stayed in touch until I received the chair. I never felt like I was bothering him when I had a question. He would immediately respond and was very polite and kind. I received the chair that I purchased very quickly within a week or so. This is a great company with integrity. This company is legit and hope them much success in the future.
P.s the zero gravity chair I purchased was beautiful and the most comfortable chair I have ever bought.

Massage chair
June 6, 2023

Purchasing a massage chair from The Modern Back was a great experience. From the sales personnel in the store to the delivery team, everyone was fantastic. Their knowledge of the different chairs and helpfulness in finding the right chair for us was outstanding. We have been using our chair for about a month and love it. I would definitely recommend visiting the showroom.

The Modern Back has made all the difference in my massage chair selection. Tom and Ann Marie gave me the freedom to try every chair in the showroom and shared their vast knowledge of them without any sales pressure. They helped me choose the chair that would be the best fit for my back and my budget. I'm so thankful that my new chair has given me much needed remedy for back pain. I highly recommend consulting with The Modern Back before making your chair selection.

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad our showroom in Sarasota was convenient for you so you could try out a number of chairs. The Luminary by Infinity is an excellent choice and we are glad it is helping with your back pain.

Hi William. Unfortunately, the particular massage chair you purchased did not qualify for the 15% discount. We were however able to offer you a free upgrade to white glove delivery after you made the purchase. According to our delivery guys the massage chair was delivered inside your home without any issues. I'm confident that you will enjoy this massage chair for many years to come.

Kind Regards,

I LOVE working with a small family business. It makes me feel as my business is important to them. And I definitely felt this with Annmarie and Tom. Their follow-through and follow up was stellar. They were knowledgeable, patient, nice, and their inventory was large of chairs to try and all price levels. There was no rush, and not one hint of a hard sell! If I were to buy or shop again, would immediately go to "The Modern Back Shop"
BTW: I LOVE my Daiwai Hybrid Supreme

My Second Svago Chair

I recently purchased the Svago Newton Chair in my summer home and just purchased a second one for my winter getaway. I already knew what I wanted and was able to transact the deal over the phone with delivery about a week later.
