5-Star Review for Marti (and Alana!) at All Natural Stone…read more As a Project Manager at Green Bay Modeling, I've worked with many showroom reps over the years, and All Natural Stone continues to stand out largely because of the amazing support I've received from both Marti and Alana. Before Marti became my main rep this past year, I had the pleasure of working with Alana, who was always helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout our early project phases. She consistently pointed me in the right direction, and I truly appreciated the foundation she helped me build with the showroom. In the past year, Marti has become my primary rep, and she has been an absolute game-changer for my workflow. She is hands down my favorite rep to work with. My clients love her, I love working with her, and she has a genuine gift for helping us bring beautiful projects together. Her design insight is sharp, her follow-through is impeccable, and she's incredibly proactive often anticipating needs before I even ask. Whether we're sourcing slabs, selecting tile, or coordinating details, Marti makes the entire process smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. Both Marti and Alana have contributed to my great experiences with All Natural Stone, but Marti's support this past year has truly elevated my projects and strengthened the trust my clients have in our selections. She's an exceptional rep, a reliable partner, and a joy to collaborate with. If you want a team that will treat your project with care, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm, Marti and the entire ANS crew are unbeatable.

purchased $1000 of tile, only to be informed a week later that the tile was no longer available…read more went in to store to select alternate options the following weekend, purchased an additional $7000 of tile with a quoted 2-3 week delivery time frame called store at 3 week mark after receiving no updates on delivery and was informed that newly purchased tile is actually 8-12 weeks backordered. it's now 5 weeks later, we've spent $8000, and we have no tile. unclear if or when the order will ever be fulfilled awful communication at best, outright scam at worst. needless to say, we'll never be working with this place again

Wow! This place is pricey. But they do have a great selection of top quality consumer kitchenware…read more If you are in need of a $200 pot, this is the place to come. The staff is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. They are able to order items that are not currently in stock. Parking at fourth Street can be challenging, especially on the weekends. But there is a lot directly behind this place. It is crowded though.

This was very much the visit that made me realize I don't especially like Sur La Table's vibe…read more I walked in looking for Le Creuset. They didn't carry much but what they did have was in Cerise and otherwise they heavily leaned Staub. I know Staub is a bit heartier, but it's so unattractive I can't get past how washed out their pink color is. Walking around the store after being greeted, I found it organized a bit oddly, with a minimal Valentines Day section. They didn't have the Stone Lain Stella Porcelain Round Dinner Plates I planned on checking out during my visit but they did have the pink heart plate, which I promptly noped out of when I saw how glitzy it was. The location has limited selection and in my opinion is only worth a drop in if you're in the area and a fan of Sur La Table. Personally I like the Williams Sonoma vibe and style more, so I likely won't be back.

The gentleman who helped me when I picked them up was very gracious and patiently explained proper care to me. He securely packed my new towels and even added a gift.

Out front they always have a little table that has an activity involving stained glass. It's fun to bring kids and let them do a stained glass art piece. For about 20 bucks you can have them put it in the kiln and come back the next day and pick up your kids artwork. What a great activity to do on fourth Street.

Not only that, Ari has been extremely helpful in advising me on fasteners and shellacs, among other things, to the point that I now ask whether he's working there when I go in. Also, Antonio in the lumberyard has been super helpful and friendly. Kudos to the team. The friendliness and help is appreciated and a good counterweight to the big box stores.

I got an estimate from this company for roof repair and a million other household projects and I…read morefound that his prices were decent, he was pretty comfortable and knowledgeable and very willing to help us figure out what we needed to do. Ultimately we went with a roofing company for the roof and haven't hired anyone to work on the rest of the house, but I would definitely call him back when I get around to the rest of the house. He even took a quick look at our puddled basement and saw immediately that there was some little steam exhaust tube thingy that was disconnected and popped in back in place, ending two years worth of moldy buildup, just like that! I was expecting some long extensive repair plan because it looked awful, but in a matter of minutes he fixed it, and didn't even charge. He took a really good look at the whole house, at least an hour of his time spent just checking it out and figuring out what needed to be done. Not sure what happened with Josh A. to garner such a bad experience, so I wanted to post my experience and give the guy some credit. He followed up with me every time we communicated before and after the estimate.

We initially reached out to Linda over a year ago to understand the Albany, CA market as we were moving from Oakland. After some investigation, we decided to rent first and told Linda we would be back in touch in 6-8 months. She understood and was not pushy at all. Earlier this year we were ready to revisit purchasing again and reached out to her. She provided us with lots of useful information and set proper expectations with us. She has a very calm and organized style that's helpful in this chaotic real estate environment. We saw probably 6-7 places, 3 of which interested us. That's when Linda went into "attack" mode. She was very proactive, reached out to the seller agents often, and kept us in the loop. Realistically, she probably could've gotten us into contract on all 3 places but in the end we went with the one that best suited our needs. Thank you Linda!

Very recently I witnessed Urban Ore stop staff placing thousands of CDs into the trash. I asked…read more"why"? and was told "the cases were cracked or the discs were scratched". I went to the front and offered to take the CDs they were sending to the landfill. I stated I had boxes with me - the staff seemed amenable however when the manage Claudio was asked he overruled them and stated "no" - the CDs are now on the landfill - I have a machine to resurface discs, a press to flatten creased artwork and thousands of cases - however a company who's catch phrase is "zero waste" dumped" thousands of perfectly salvageable items. I contacted Urban Ore via email, via messaging and tagged them in social media as well as posting on their own FB page - no response. People donate items to Urban Ore thinking they think they are keeping them out of the landfill - the behavior of Claudio shows that this is a lie and Urban Ore appears to be a scam.

The diverse offerings include bicycles and bike parts, furniture (sofas, tables, and more), lots of chairs, rugs, luggage, tools, electronics, speakers, musical instruments, CD's and records, remote controls, items that make you feel like you've gone back in time (like cassette tapes, vhs tapes, and floppy disks), books, toys, model trains, light fixtures, baskets, kitchenware/appliances, board games, crutches, building materials, doors, windows, bathtubs, toilets, garden sculptures, mirrors, cabinets and shelves, decorative items, artworks, plumbing hardware, door knobs, plastic cups and bottles, hats, shoes, and clothing. They even have scrap glass for mosaic or stained glass projects. We ended up purchasing some drum rings, as well as an awesome tote bag for just five bucks. The line at the front counter gets long at times, but it moves quickly with helpful workers making sure everything goes smoothly. You can even cut the line if you're paying with cash. No returns are allowed on items such as electronics and clothing. Dogs are welcome inside, with countless signs posted noting that it's not a poop and pee zone. There's also a sign near the toy section stating "unattended children will be given candy and a free puppy."
