The Upholsterer needed 74 square feet and said to get an additional 30% for imperfections. On Monday July 14 the Upholsterer texted me "We will need another hide to complete your chair. These hides have several large flaws that we cannot cut around." He also sent me 10 pictures showing the large flaws. I went to The Shops at Carolina Furniture of Williamsburg and spoke with the President Joseph Steele III. He provided his e-mail address and said to send the pictures so he could submit them to Hancock and Moore. Before I sent the pictures I spoke with the Upholsterer and he stated with an additional half hide (25 square feet) he could complete the chair. I e-mailed Joseph Steele III the pictures and relayed only a half hide was needed. On Tuesday, July 15, 2025 I received e-mail from Joseph Steele III stating he would submit the photos to Hancock and Moore and that I was requesting another half hide. He also stated " I can tell you from 20 years of ordering their leathers on furniture for the store, that many of these dark spots, "healed scars", would in fact be deemed acceptable and used on their furniture". This was a lie. If manufacturers like Hancock and Moore produced Leather Furniture with dark spots and healed scars individuals like Joseph Steele III would not be able to sell their products. It was also a signal that Joseph Steele III would not hold Hancock and Moore accountable for their poor-quality issue. On Thursday July 17, 2025 I received e-mail from Joseph Steele III stating "Hancock and Moore is willing to sell you more leather, but they do not feel that the hides you have are defective". Further they advised if I needed a half hide to purchase an entire hide. So, a $900.00 hide only has 50% of useable leather? Really? I was assured that this was adequate for my need of seventy-four useable square feet of leather at the time of purchase. In fact Joseph Steele III 's representative said that I needed to order two hides (100 square feet) inorder to have 74 square feet of useable leather. I would not have placed the order kowing only 50% of this leather hide provides useable leather. Joseph Steele III has zero concern for customers who have purchased products from him some at large sums of money and have poor quality issues. He does not hold the vendors accountable and gives them total authority as to how they want to handle the situation. Buyer Beware.

Three times in the past year I've walked out before completing my purchase. The reason is always…read morethe same -- the cashier is walking a befuddled older woman through the steps for signing up for membership or some special on her phone. It usually takes about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, I and others are standing line waiting, waiting, waiting. The women always enter something wrong and sometimes the process needs to be restarted. When it happened the first time I waited patiently, thinking this was an exception. But when it happened again and again, I decided it wasn't worth the wait. I've stricken World Market off my list of places to shop. It's easier to just order online.

This company is the absolute worst! We ordered a futon and cushion for our daughter. The store…read morewhere we ordered it was an hour and a half away. We drove 90 minutes to pick the order up. When we arrived, the store manager explained that the only one they had was the floor model and that it was damaged, so they would have to order another. We took the cushion home and waited. Two days later, another store rep contacted us and told us that our order was in. We drove up a second time. They loaded it into our car and we drove home. When we got home, we noticed that it was damaged and was the floor model. We called the store and the apologized and said that had to order the item again. About a month later, it FINALLY came in. We drove back up with the damaged item and replaced it with the new item. The store did take off a percentage for the inconvenience. The really bad part is their awful credit card company. My wife fell for the bait and opened a credit card to get the 30% off discount. There was a lot of confusion with what we owed because of all the issues above. When she went to pay the credit card, ON THE DUE DATE, she did it in the late afternoon. Later, we found out that the credit card company charged a $30 late fee, even though she paid it ON THE DUE DATE. When she called to get the bogus fee removed, they told her the fee was because she made the payment after 5 PM and they couldn't process it until the following day. They also gave lame excuse after lame excuse for why they couldn't credit the full fee back. They offered a "one-time courtesy credit" of $15. When she elevated it to a supervisor, he wouldn't change it and said that $15 was the most they could do. They also charged another bogus $30 fee which they refused to refund. This credit card company that World Market uses is absolutely the worst, by far, that we have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Now, we have paid the card off and are trying to close the account. Even closing the account is near impossible because every representative wants to read a long-winded script on why we shouldn't close it. This is so appallingly bad, that I cannot understate how horrible this company is. We're closing the account and will NEVER shop with this company again. If the CEO of this company, Eric Hunter, ever gets this feedback and reads it, he should do the right thing and send us at minimum $45 for the returned fees, the wasted time and effort of Three 3-hour round trips, and probably about an hour of wasted time on phone calls trying to reason with mindless "service" representatives that provide zero help and can only read from infuriating scripts.

One thing to understand about Colonial Williamsburg is the naming of the buildings is not by…read morecoincidence. John Greenhow was a merchant that operated a store on Duke of Gloucester during colonial days. The history of the man is as important to me as the current day store which I do enjoy browsing. John Greenhow was born in England 1724. He has been described as enterprising for the day, a real go getter. He operated a three man eight ton Schooner named "The Robert" along the James River from Virginia to Philadelphia carrying butter, pork, peas and lard to Pennsylvania. His return trips to the Old Dominion brought back coffee, chocolate, flour, bread, skillets, soap and even furniture. Williamsburg was not his only store as he operated a second location in Richmond. Mr. Greenhow passed in 1787 and is buried close to his mercantile at Bruton Parish Church. His stone is visible to this day. The present day store instills some of the old past of products like soap and housewares among lots of other items that may, or may not have been carried in the shop like home decor, clothing and even wine that seemed logical for the colonial time. Visitors can also purchase, or rent period wear. I have shopped at this store dozens of times in the past 30 years. I seem to always find something for purchase. The last time it was a few bottles of Williamsburg Winery Wine. Other occasions it's been soap which is fantastic. During Summer months when mobbed it can be a tad crowded to navigate. Staff typically is not in the floor to assist, but is more than willing to help when asked. It's no fault of their own, it's CW's staffing needs adjusted during the height of tourism. The clerks working the store are super friendly and knowledgeable about their goods and the history of Greenhow. It's fun to throw them a question, or two about the old day store. I would recommend a visit to The Greenhow store when strolling down DOG.

I'm not a shopping person and sadly I've become not much of a CW person but if you're in CW and if…read moreyou're going to shop, the Greenhow Store is not a bad place to do it. My Yelp brother JD did a great job covering the history of the man who's name is on the building. I have nothing to add other than the current store is not one of the original 88 CW buildings but it was built on the site of the original and on land that Mr. Greenhow owned. Back in the day you could easily see the yard over at Bruton Parish but FWIW this is the final resting place for Mr. Greenhow: makinghistorynow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/mr-greenhows-tomb-bruton-parish.png Usually I'm in here because I've got people in my family who love the soap balls that they sell here (maybe they have them in other stores but usually I find the bars everywhere - not the balls), the vanilla beans, the musket balls and a few other odds and sods. The other reason I like to shop here is because of the one "sales interpreter" who normally works here. When you walk in he's usually at the register on the left side. He's a taller older guy who wears small round wire rimmed glasses. He's the one guy in the store who usually will engage you in sort of a quasi-in character demeanor. He's hysterical and I always enjoy seeing him and I remind him of that whenever I'm there. While this store is normally very crowded on my most recent visit we walked in to find we had the whole place to ourselves. Three employees in there with just us. After a few minutes another couple came in but that's how dead it was on New Year's Day. One brief negative note regarding that visit. While there were three sales interpreters there. Cluelessly, there was also a supervisor/manager present who kept having a little meeting with the group over in the one corner out front even though they could see that I was at the register ready to go. Experiences like that are the types of reasons people say "Never Again" to CW. It's small but it also shows you a small spot of where management's focus truly is at. That singular visit aside, normally it's a decent experience here and it's always worth a visit to see what they have when on DOG Street.

Measurements were way off. Two extra boxes of flooring and ~40 feet of 1/4 round. When asked about what to do with the 2 boxes of flooring (that we paid for), was told "you can sell it on eBay". Really? Then there was the installation crew. No one spoke English so any questions I had resulted in blank stares. These were not W-2 employees but sub-contractors. This crew stained the 1/4 round us and it wasn't even close to matching the new flooring. And then there was the damage to the new flooring during installation. The large staple gun that was used to "nail" the flooring was placed dozens of times on the previously installed flooring leaving nail head size indentations across the entire floor. And then there was the "customer service". Made appointment with Ackerman (the owner?) to inspect the damage and he never showed up, he didn't call, text, or email that he was going to make it. During one of numerous calls, asked Jessica to have Ackerman call us. She emailed me that she couldn't get him to talk to us. But to be honest, full discloser: 2nd Street is giving us $40 for the 1/4 round. Bottom-line: we will never use 2nd Street again and will never recommend them to anyone.

Recently visited this Target location and experienced customer service at a disappointing level. I…read morehave always enjoyed visiting this location, however today's visit involved a Manager on Duty that did not seem aware of the customer check out process during the day after Christmas shopping. I entered a check out service line and placed the items I wanted to purchase in the conveyor belt (there was only one person in front of me who was checking out). The Manager on Duty came over and spoke to the cashier about covering his break. Meanwhile, more customers entered the line behind me. After watching me place all of my items for purchase, the cashier tells me that she can't check me out because she has to go cover Guest Services. Her announcement was not loud enough for the customers (2-3 people) behind me to hear. This created a check out environment that included one cashier checkout line and the remaining registers were self checkout. The line volume increased and resulted in me leaving the store without making a purchase as I watched the manager on duty walk over and stand in Starbucks as customers looked confused about what happened to the previous checkout line. As someone with Manager on Duty experience in a high volume customer service environment, I realize the importance of awareness during busy time frames. I also understand the importance of not putting employees in situations that results in the loss of business. I hope that Target sees this review and takes a moment to understand how this incident affects the level of customer service that Target customers are accustomed to.

I'm not sure when this one was built in the area, but it looks to be on the newer side. Walking in it was welcoming and made it feel like it was going to be a simple stop. I walked to where the items were that I knew I was going to need. The one item that I was definitely looking for was an air freshener. I was happy to see that not only did they have them in stock, but many to choose from. Unlike other stores of the caliber. The biggest hold up here was the registers. Most people are ushered to the self checkouts. There were not many regular checkouts open. Not everybody knows how to use the self checkouts, so the ushering of the people here kind of made a bottleneck and backup.
