I simply walked in a store, not knowing anymore than I had read about massage chairs. I was greeted cordially by Tom's wife, then proceeded to become gradually educated by them as well as experiencing the many chairs on their showroom floor, one by one, with no rush or pressure. I came back a second time with my wife and made my informed decision. Very pleasant experience.

Tom Walls was extremely helpful and appropriately shared his knowledge of the industry and the latest available features of all of the chairs in the marketplace, in an easy to grasp laymen's terms. It's a rare pleasure to work with a person who has the innate personality and trust to make the cut as a potential friend in one's mind. I would highly recommend doing business on such an important long-term asset with such a person, not just the manufacturer and store.
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.
There was only a selective few showrooms of massage chairs in the area I am from. I wanted a massage chair where I can physically see it and test it out myself before buying it. The Modern Back was able to do that. I also looked at the price as well. The Modern Back had chairs on display in the price range I was willing to pay.
Tom our salesman was UNBELIEVABLE… first off his knowledge of the chairs was extensive, his communication was immediate and any concerns were dealt with right away. Chair was purchased 10 days before Christmas and even though I was told it most likely wouldn't be there before Christmas it arrived on the 24th! There was a mix-up as I had requested and paid for white glove but the delivery drivers were not told or nor were they capable of putting together chair so ended up watching YouTube and it was actually really pretty simple and only took us 30 minutes. When I told Tom that night at 8:30 Christmas Eve through email he contacted me right away and said they would either arrange for someone to come over on the 26th but when I told him we had done it he refunded my money ASAP for the white glove. Tom definitely understands customer service and excelled at it. Would absolutely recommend Tom And the Modern Back
We feel we really lucked out with Tom as only chose the modern back on Internet and used the “chat” option and Tom answered.
Fine communication with staff. Delivery staff were Great! Chair is a disappointment- I need to straighten out my back occasionally. This is absolutely NOT possible in this chair. One must be bent at the waist in all positions. So I often have to get out of the chair and stretch out on the floor to get comfortable. Such a disappointment!
Believed it would provide a comfortable alternative to regular recliners.
We decided to buy a massage chair and visited The Modern Back. Tom greeted us with open arms. Tom is very professional and answered all our questions. We never felt any type of pressure to buy. I was very happy with my experience at The Modern Back. I would recommend visiting The Modern Back.
Tom gives great support, knowledge & attention to the customer and definitely made the process of making the best decision easier for me.
Given the excellent support prior to the sale to help make the decision to buy easier, I gained confidence that Tom would also provide excellent support in the process of getting warranty repairs and replacement if necessary.
It happens that I dealt with the owner. His knowledge about different chairs and their what each had to offer made the purchase an easy decision. The firm was very helpful during the process and I would highly recommend them to others looking to purchase a massage chair.
It was certainly helpful that they were located in the same state where I live and they had the chair I was looking for at a reasonable price.
This was the easiest purchase I have ever made. Came into the store, met with sales staff. I was treated with respect and was educated on all the models they had in their store. I got to spend a lot of time in each chair seeing which models best suited my needs. A chair was selected and financials were discussed. Less than a week later, the chair was delivered, set up, and I was taught how to use it.
They had the best selection of chairs within a hundred miles of my location.

Best chair I have found for the price
Tom and Ann Maire didn't provide a polished sales pitch, just the needed knowledge on buying the right chair. They encouraged us to try out various chairs after learning about our needs, but with a focus on us. My husband needed good foot rollers, but light pressure on the neck. I am the exact opposite, so they showed us the chairs and how to make adjustments. They have a nice big screen on their showroom and showed us various aspects and components of the chairs. Which were all easily located online, but they took time with us and we never felt rushed.
I originally went there because I knew they had a big variety of chairs to test. I send friends there because they provide quality products in a good atmosphere and provide great insight on buying chairs.

The end result is that my whole body feels like it was 25 years younger

All I can say is that I would buy from them in a heart beat
Tom, was very patient while I tried the variety of massage chairs in stock. He was thoughtful and explained the difference between the models as I was experiencing each chair. I finally ended up on settling for one and then the crew that did the delivery and set up was fantastic. Thank you guys for everything.
It was my Christmas present from my husband, I had no idea, why I was there. He saw the online advertising and took me.
Hi Dauvida,
We're so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful shopping experience with us. Our crew will be thrilled to hear your kind words about their delivery and setup service. We hope your new massage chair brings you relaxation and joy - it's certainly a wonderful Christmas surprise! Thank you for your business, and we look forward to serving you again.
Thank you again,

Tom did an excellent job of explaining the different chairs and really helped me make a decision on which one to buy.
It is the premier massage chair location in Sarasota Florida.

The sales person was very helpful, friendly, and explained the difference between each chair that I was interested in.
I was looking for a massage chair that massage up to my neck and upper extremities, lower back and lower extremities because of medical conditions.
I replaced my old massage chair with the Osaki Highpointe 4D from The Modern Back store right here in Sarasota. Tom and his wife, Anne Marie are just the best and have a good assortment of quality massage chairs to try and buy. Their service was outstanding and I highly recommend them if you are in the market for one. If I can, I love dealing with a local, family-owned business right here in Sarasota rather than a large box store. The personalized service is much better and you are helping your community. Plus, they are right here if you need further service in the future. I got the white glove delivery and after watching Charles and his brother-in-law doing the assembly and the install, I am certainly glad I did! It works great and I look forward to many years enjoying the chair and know that if I ever need service on the chair, The Modern Back folks are right here in town! It's a win, win.
A Loyal Customer,

Great experience in buying a massage chair. Tom was very helpful in helping me to select a chair and provided delivery to my house and set up.
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.
It's not enough to have things to sell. It's more important to know how to do that. Tom knows!

We take pride in providing our customers with top-notch service and high-quality products, and it's reassuring to hear that we’ve achieved that with you.

Accidentally. But I'm glad I did it.
Tom very responsive to texts and questions.
Excellent explanation of chair's features, warranties etc.
Preferred to have a local distributor vs online
The team here is amazing and so knowledgeable. They even kept my purchase, since I wasn't able to take it home right away, due to home renovations. They are very friendly and I would definitely go back.
Hi Dayne,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re thrilled to hear that our team was able to assist you with your purchase and accommodate your needs. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we greatly appreciate your positive feedback.
We hope you enjoy your Svago recliner for many years to come.

I've had the Daiwa Supreme Hybrid chair from Modern Back less than a month. It was delivered sooner than I expected. All I had to do was point & it was set up exactly where I wanted it in my bedroom. Make sure your doorways are at least 32 1/2" wide, or they'll have trouble getting the unassembled chair through the doorway. After it was set up I started with a 10 minute massage program that put me to sleep. I'm still experimenting with different programs & adjustments to customize my massage sessions. A few of the programs need to be adjusted for my liking because they are too intense. It would be nice if in the future Daiwa does a software or firmware update for personal program memory & settings. Overall I give the chair a 9/10. Modern Back gets a 10.
Hi Jimmie,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! Your positive experience with the delivery and setup of the Daiwa Supreme Hybrid is exactly what we strive for at Modern Back. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the various program settings and finding your custom massage preferences. Your suggestion for a software or firmware update for personal program memory and settings is fantastic and we will certainly pass this on to the Daiwa product development team. We're thrilled to have met your expectations and earned a 10/10 rating for our service. We look forward to continuing to serve your relaxation needs.
Thanks again for choosing Modern Back!

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!
Tom was very helpful to find the right massage chair for me.
