Always been satisified with the quality, but matching clothing sizes usually requires a return and replacement. More recently, I've had the occassion to visit the store on the West Side and am DEEPLY impressed with the level of customer service, the quality of the clothing, and the simplicity of the shopping experience. On my last visit, cotten blend summer suits were on sale, and the very reasoanble price on the rack became my actual price paid--no tax, no shipping fee, and free alterations.

But when things are normal, the lighting is excellent, the clothes are well organized and the staff is always, and I repeat, always polite and friendly. They are business people and this is their business and customers need to understand that. As with any business based on donations, you can find wonderful things at very reasonable prices or you can find nothing at all to your liking. But that is why Unique Boutique -- and each item is unique -- is so much fun. A note -- someone reviewed it saying "I called to ask about furniture and the guy said no and hung up the phone..." This is what I mean about customers not understanding retail...you asked a question, he answered it and why should he stay on the phone with you ? There is no way this store has the space to accommodate furniture and once that is clear, there is nothing more to say, so salespeople hang up. If you would like them to apologize for not taking or selling something impossible, that is what you expect culturally, but other people do not think that is necessary in what is not a personal relationship. You asked a question, you got an answer, good bye, move on.

In the lower floor, are the men's products and clearance sections. Main floor has home goods, sunglasses, watches, purses in limited quantity, also lots of women's apparels. Second floor has dresses and shoes. The store was mostly tidy. Walking thru the cramped aisles was little tough. There were only two fitting rooms from what I heard the staff saying . The Clearance sections had sale items up to 80%. I liked a $49 Scotch & Soda t-shirt tagged for only $7. The deal made my day. Checkout process was quick. I got to use my Bloomingdale's cash rewards for the purchase. Overall it was a nice store and seemed to be popular among the city locals.

Also the fitting room staff was patient and friendly. She gave advice to other customers as well. Great price value in this store. All the items have some sort of discount. But when it's on the sale rack, usually it's the largest size available.

At this store in particular though the workers were on their phone and not helping with fitting rooms/on the floor, I had such good service a year ago and now it seems a little overwhelming being there and they misplaced the held items and said they were back on the floor when we checked they weren't in the sizes chose. Eventually they found them but we were only there for an hour and in that span of 40 min they decided to put our stuff back?!

Prices are a bit steep, even on sale, but the browsing is top-notch. (Incidentally, Oak has a fantastic online shop with cool photos and styling.) You got your Acne, your Surface to Air, your Alexander Wang and Rachel Comey. Cheap Monday and Dolce Vita represent the more accessible end, along with newcomers like complexgeometries. The downstairs is much more affordable, with pieces you might see at places like pixiemarket. I suspect, though, that some items are marked up - I saw a dress I got through Nasty Gal Vintage going for almost double what I paid, so just be wary. The staff is a little disorganized, but they mean well. Just don't be afraid to remind them to help you. Dressing rooms are huge with huge mirrors, but maybe a bit lacking in light. Oak is definitely worth a visit. Just remember, you worked hard for that paycheck.

I've shopped at Reiss for years and have always loved the brand. That's why it was So disappointing…read moreto experience the poor customer service at this location AND the company's very strict Return and Exchange policy. There are too many other gorgeous brands and boutiques with beautiful clothes who actually CARE about their customers...and whether customers are happy. I had purchased a coat for my husband's birthday and spent upwards of $600, and when it didn't fit him in the shoulders properly, I brought back the coat (in pristine condition) just TWO days after the stated 14 day window on the receipt. Keep in mind, the receipt says nothing about the inability to exchange items; it doesn't advise on exchanges at all. I believe most retailers would've made an exception and accepted the return (I'd explained that I'd been ill and physically couldn't make it into the store). Come to find out at this point, when I tried to make an even exchange, the sales associate told me that I would have to do it on the spot - so I felt forced to select items for exchange when I wasn't in the mood to shop. All I'd wanted was a merchandise credit for the amount in which I spent. In short, I was told that this is the company's policy - straight from from their corporate offices in London...and that was that. When I was in disbelief that I couldn't even have a merchandise credit issued, the employees became condescending to me and told me that they were doing ME a favor by allowing an exchange. They were defensive in tone and shamed me for expecting any more. Additionally, the associate became defensive and m overly sensitive and took my disappointment personally; she told me that I was lucky they would accommodate me. I have zero desire to shop at Reiss again - based on this experience; this, as well as other reasons which I discovered today: Many of the dresses were ill-fitting, as if the seamstresses mistakenly allowed for asymmetrical fit where extra fabric was not supposed to be (I.e. too much fabric on this or that side where it was supposed to be symmetrical. Reiss seems to be saving money on their manufacturing now, as fabrics and laces/ribbons/details are cheaper quality than what they used to be (when I used to be able to justify the price by high quality), acrylic blends are being used on many sweaters and sweater dresses (which PILL and roll into balls on the sweater within one wear - just look at some of the sweaters on the hangers, many of which are already pilling just from people trying them on), and the seamstresses do not seem as skilled as what dressmakers at this price-point should be. Honestly, I'm sure I'll have more fun, respect, and a better fit and quality merely shopping at ZARA (and for a much lower price point). Just shocked at how the QUALITY has gone down so drastically. Instead, I'd go just next door to: JOIE, Intermix, Club Monaco, etc, etc.

One pair developed a linear relatively clean tear in the right back pocket with the surrounding fabric pristine. The fabric underneath was also pristine. I went in expecting to get a new replacement pair for what most likely was a defect in the fabric making it prone to a tear. Instead I got an offer to purchase a new pair at 30% off. To me that is very poor customer service and very shortsighted. They lost a very good customer. In the future I will buy as good if not better jeans at stores like Nordstrom where you pay for what you get.
