I never complain or yelp negatively, but my experience in this store made my blood boil. When I…read morewalked in the first time, I noticed there was something a bit off about the man at the register who I believe to be the owner. Not very friendly or approachable, but I saw some cute cocktail glassware and decided to make a purchase. Sadly, that evening, the paper bag with the glasses wrapped in tissue paper, lightly tipped over on the dinner table and one of the glasses shattered. I thought it would be worth a try to go back and see if they could accommodate with a solution as the glasses had not even been unwrapped yet. I went back, and the same man was there. He was extremely hostile when I asked if he could help me out in any way. When I mentioned that the glasses were only wrapped in tissue paper, he became very defensive and suggested that I was blaming him for the accident. "It's my fault," he yelled. He very childishly huffed and puffed through the store as he grabbed me a new glass and some bubble wrap. As he handed back the bag, he very rudely said, "don't blame me if you're not careful and it breaks again." Although I don't think it was his fault, I don't imagine the glass would have broken if it had been well wrapped the first time around. To have a grown man yell at me, a young women in my 20s, felt extremely scary, disrespectful, and and sad that this is a world where men think they can speak to women so harshly. Don't recommend visiting if you are looking for a pleasant customer experience.

We parked the car and started walking around and then we found this little piece of heaven called The Chefs Shop.

They are called Barrington Bites and it is a must have when you go to Great Barrington.

I was with a whole group and they managed to find some little things for the kitchen. Tools to take out tomato insides; dishware; clocks; soaps, candies, jewelry, candles, lunch boxes, reading glasses - such fun little gifts for yourself or anyone that you can think of. They were about to close when we walked in but they were smart and stayed open a little bit longer as we were obviously on a mission! They definitely know how to stand out a little from your average little store. It was a fun find! None of us live in the area (though one friend has a lake house in Valaties) so it was cool to browse through the main street and find some cool little items.

Namely, restaurants, bars, and adorable shops like this, which is how we spent a lot of our leisure time back in the before times. Light House had hand sanitizer by the door and masks on all the employees, but other than those much appreciated concessions to COVID, it felt like a wonderfully normal shopping experience. This place is stocked with all kinds of high-quality home goods. They've got pottery, candles, appliances, textiles, wrapping paper, adorable baby clothes, toys, stuffed animals, cards, cookware, and a million other items my wife wants to buy (even though we probably only need a dozen of them). Her favorite things they have? Hand soap, laundry detergent, and dish soap in giant jugs so you can bring your own refillable containers and purchase by the ounce without destroying our environment. (We both hug trees on a regular basis.) My favorite things they have? A really interesting selection of books, and a comfortable couch I can sit and read on as my wife looks at everything else. This is a great little shop. Check it out.

Light House is a really nice store. I've been going here since they were located down the street;…read morethis used to be the liquor store (which also moved), and they done a good job making use of the space. There's a hodgepodge of home goods in here. Think kitchen items (food and food oriented, like recipe books), children's clothing/toys, bathrooms items (soap and shit) and other household odds and ends. Fellas: it smells really good and your wife/girlfriend will like it. My only gripe is that it can be irrationally expensive. I bought a kids stuffed animal for my son awhile ago which was around $40. It was hand sewn, however even so that's a bit steep. Think this as a place where you'll pay a bit more for quality goods and this won't bother you as much.

Located at the Kingston Plaza in Kingston, NY, we came here for a color stain for raw pine doors we'd purchased at a door store. Herzog's is big- not Home Depot big- but it's got a lot of what you may need for home repairs. They carry lighting equipment, painting items, a kitchen+ bathroom design dep't, textiles, BBQ accessories, vacuum cleaners, gardening supplies, candles, some clothing- heck, even minimalist jewelry in a glass case, etc. My girl with the glasses in the paint department was smooth and patient. She took her time when we asked her questions about colors and how each color stain would react to raw wood. Service was fine, we left with smiles and was the opposite of everything that's been written here in the past.

My dad's grill was falling apart, and I noticed at the right time to coincide with Father's Day. Luckily, Williams Lumber is around. I already know my dad likes this spot for lumber, and he's an Ace Hardware rewards guy (he's anti-Home Depot, and happy to tell you all about why), and they had the grill I was looking at in stock. Everything fell into place. I gave them a call, and Bryce helped me out. He confirmed they had the grill, and because it's not really a gift to give someone something heavy to pick up or complicated to assemble, we arranged to have the grill put together and delivered in just a couple days. They took care of everything without a hitch, including a nice grill cover and brush to keep this one in much better shape than the last. They also have hardware, and do a good job selling it.

About 45 minutes to an hour were spent browsing through the incredible old/new - new/old stock (however it's referred to) and we had the pleasure of talking with Dennis, who answered whatever questions I had while gently rebuffing my attempts to buy things that were not for sale. I did however purchase a nice old file in new condition as well as an old, ornate drill bit holder which will proudly be displayed in my home shop. This store has a hazy, relaxed, out-of-time feel to it and is as relaxing and comfortable as any familiar place where one wants to get lost for a while and forget the loud, impersonal modern world in which we find ourselves immersed far too often.
