Smart Toys is a chain of stores featuring educational and fun toys and games for kids and adults…read more They currently have stores in NY, NJ, PA, MA, MD and VA. This store is in the Poughkeepsie Galleria. It's not a large store, but it has a nice variety of products and is definitely worth a visit. And even though it's a chain, it's not a big-box store. In this particular store, you will find a nice assortment of games for children and adults both in the front on the left as you walk in, and may more in the back. You'll find things like Cranium, variants on Scrabble and Monopoly, many card games, social games, etc. Other preschool toys, stuffed animals, puzzles and educational items will be scattered throughout the store. Before shopping here, you should visit their website, where you can print a coupon good for 20% off a single item. Their website can also give you an idea of what types of items to expect in the stores.

Unfortunately, I must update this review due to a subsequent experience. They still have a good…read moreselection of gently used clothes and shoes. However, the owner of the store...smh. During a bag sale, at the checkout, she took out a pair of shoes, removed the tag, and set them aside. They were new and brand name. She rung me up, not saying anything about the shoes, so I asked about them: Are these not in the bag sale? (they had the right color tag and priced at $8.50/under $10, therefore meeting all the bag sale requirements). If not, I told her that I still wanted them. She only replied "you're good...you're good," as in I had met my limit of purchases for the day, and she refused to sell them to me, separately. They were obviously supposed to be included in the bag sale, so she declined to answer my question or engage in conversation about the shoes. Also, while she was ringing up my items, she remarked how I was "making out like a fat rat," and then she looked at me and called out to me: "fat rat." This might have been excused as a joke, if her tone wasn't angry, like I was stealing from her. It seems like she doesn't want my business. To her credit though, I am an exceptional thrift shopper and I don't think she envisioned people with more advanced shopping skills coming to her sale. Sorry, not sorry.

Too bad.

Quality is very low, prices are high even on sales. Recently bought a comforter, Ralph Lauren, on sale, thinking I'd get the same or similar quality we've had since the 80's. Got a Box that smelled like excrement. Really bad, so cut it up and threw out as soon as possible. Comforter smells too, not wrapped in plastic. SHIPPED from INDIA! Went to warehouse in North Carolina, then Ohio, then here via UPS. I kid you not, it absolutely REEKS. The striped pattern is faded, not the vivid color online. Go to the store and shop. Not there or unavailable, you are better off. You can inspect what you're getting. This comforter is going straight to an outside laundromat, no way I'm putting it in our washing machine. EXCREMENT! Found some dried on outside bottom of the box, this is awful. AVOID any description that states, "Imported." There's your clue that they don't even carry it here in the US.

It has been my go-to store for clothing for close to three decades but now I can't shop there anymore because they don't carry clothing in my size. Yet the petite section remains. There's a word for that...what is it...oh yes-discrimination. Macy's is openly discriminating against women in larger bodies. And their Backstage section is low quality, which is where I've been directed to shop, as well as online. But online shopping isn't the same. This is disappointing news and I will be cancelling my Macy's card.

They had a great selection of beauty and skincare products, and the apparel section offered a nice variety of brands. My favorite find was a pair of reasonably priced sneakers. I also appreciated that they have a customer restroom, which was a nice convenience while shopping. Even though the store was busy, the checkout lines moved quickly, so the wait wasn't long at all. I'd definitely make the trip back!

I went to the technology section to get some headphones, and there was no one there to help or assist me. I was standing there for over 10 minutes waiting. I even asked another employee if I could get some help, and she said she didn't have a walkie but was going to try to get someone over to assist me. I was not really convinced help was on the way, but I was hopeful and waited. Then another employee, who was literally in the middle of stocking items, saw me and asked if I needed help. He read my mind! Even though he was busy stocking and didn't have to stop what he was doing, he took the time to help me. He even went to the back to retrieve the headphones for me. He was so attentive, kind, and helpful! I truly appreciated that he took the time to help me when he didn't have to. Thank you, CJ!
