Great inventory, great prices, very friendly and helpful employees.....as an old lady, I fondly remember Sears at Hillsdale, and the Emporium. I still love going to Macy's. When I was in San Carlos this morning, I stopped in to Home Goods and was very pleasantly surprised. I found everything I was looking for, plus several more items. It did remind me of Sears in terms of excellent kitchen and bathroom supplies, lovely clothing choices, everything a person could want for their home. And I got to check out immediately as there were few people in line since I was there right when they opened at 9:30. Lovely experience...I will definitely go back again. read more

Great products but what's the point when it's a Tuesday at 12:44 PM and you're just standing in line because there are more employees standing at the end of the registers then there are those open. You heard that right there were five different employees standing standing at the end of the registers well only three register open and the entire line was at a standstill. I ask a gentleman he just shrugged at me so I went down the five until I found one that would call someone this is just such a bullshit. read more

I visit this store often and it is always clean and well organized. However, every time I come here the checkout lines are extremely long. On many occasions I've had to leave items behind because the wait was simply too long. Today I decided to stay in line and timed it, 38 minutes just to check out. I spent more time waiting in line than I did shopping, which is absolutely unacceptable. There were 16 cashier stations available, yet only 4 were open. That level of understaffing makes the checkout process incredibly frustrating for customers. I've never been so annoyed paying for my purchases. I won't be waiting in a line that long again. Management needs to do better. read more

I can spend my whole day wandering around HomeGoods. I love this store so much and the variety of home decor. There is something for everyone here. Neutral decor, whimsical decor, funky colors and shapes. TAKE ALL MY MONEY lol. Zuzanna helped me check out my items yesterday and my cart was filled to the brim. She was so kind and efficient. It's a 10/10 experience every single time. read more

The line to check out here is always a 20 minute minimum wait. If you're here on the weekend or during the holidays, be prepared to wait 30 minutes or more. The store desperately needs more cashiers. I hardly ever shop at this location because of the long checkout lines. read more

The selection is solid but every single time I come here the line is wrapping around the building. CORPORATE OR STORE MANAGER, YOU NEVER SCHEDULE ENOUGH LABOR. Stop being so stingy on scheduling cashiers! I shouldn't have to wait 30+ minutes just to buy 5 things! read more

HomeGoods - Ridiculous line - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Carlos, California

This HomeGoods is very clean and organized. Most of these types of stores are a big mess, and I was surprise to be able to find things without having to dodge items or carts left in the aisles. It shows employees are up keeping this store to the best it can. read more

We have been visiting this store for a few yrs. My husband and I have always enjoyed shopping in this store, but the last visit we noticed a difference. The merchandise was organized by color and style. The isles seemed wider and the lightening seemed brighter! It was such a pleasure shopping here!! read more

What is this ridiculously long line? I've been here twice - both times it took me 30 mins only to check out. The third time I came to return something, and the line looked atleast 45 mins long - I left. They need to do something about it and maybe hire more cashiers! read more

I just went here today and they really restocked for spring! Found a beautiful opi polish for half the price. There were alot of beautiful dresses but I didn't have enough time to try anything on. The jewelry department had really cute anklets, coastal charm necklaces, and gemstone bracelets. I saw a really cute pair of abalone shell butterfly earrings that were made in Bali. I can never leave without buying a new toy for my dog it's much more affordable than petsmart. I also like to browse the stationary section because they have better choices than what you would find in a grocery aisle. Overall it was very organized, and I was lucky because there was a very short line. read more

Love shopping at Home Goods. They have a great selection of products and the prices are very affordable.

Every time we are are in the area there is no way we will miss visiting Homegoods in SC. Selection never fails! Parking can be tough though. Place is always organized though in this visit some areas are too crowded. Staff members are always professional and polite. read more

It's a homegoods. It has lots of stuff. Lines are long especially on weekends. Prices are good but seeing a slow creep over the years and the value isn't as good as it once was but it's still decent enough if you can make it a quick trip. Selection is hit or miss so as long as you're flexible you should be fine. read more

the store is great! the lines are awful!!!! If you don't mind waiting in line for a half hour, at least read more

As someone with little to no style when it comes to home decor, I've really come to appreciate Homegoods while trying figure out this whole adulting life. Accent pieces like bedside lamps, tables, towels, and organizers are things that I have a really hard time ordering online. I like to be able to see things in person before I purchase and it's been kinda fun to see what kinda finds there are every time I visit. I can see why this place is dangerous, because it's kinda like Target, you go in looking for one thing and before you know it, you are spendings $100s. The store itself is organized pretty well, although there's just a ton of stuff to sift through, it's half the fun of finding hidden gems for things you may not need but really want. I recently purchased a couple of bedside lamps, and absolutely love em. For only $20 piece, it felt more comfortable than buying these online, because I needed a specific size and fit. While searching I was able to find a super fuzzy dog bed for the pup which she absolutely loves. Again, another item I can't buy online because I'm terrible at measuring anything lol Waiting in lines and dealing with this crazy parking lot is never fun, so I avoid this plaza during the weekends. Weekdays are the best time to go because parking is easy, and lines aren't as long. read more

Shopping in San Carlos... My friend brought me here, saying, "I wish we had this store in Hawaii..." True... We do not have any HomeGoods Store in the 50th State. This is the first time I stepped inside of one, even though I drove past one in Las Vegas many times. Today's visit reminded me of the home department of Ross, expanded by ten times! There were so many pillows, kitchen gadgets, figurines, towels, furniture, etc. Wow! I'm wondering now if I should stop at the one in Las Vegas and let my mom wander around a bit... haha! P.S. I didn't know that HomeGoods was connected to T.J.Maxx - bonus!!! read more

I want to give this place a good review after the "facelift" it got. The aisles are more organized for the most part, less disaster of items scattered everywhere and never put back in their place. I'll give it to management, there is a good amount of staff in the aisles consistently putting items in their place. But that's where it stops. Something shattered in an aisle over and piqued my interested. I paused my music to peak around the corner just to see an employee look at the broken item on the floor, shrug and walk away to tend to a different aisle. I get to the register and the cashier, Joana, is in another world. I found an item I wanted to purchase but it didn't have a tag. So I asked her to look into it. She brought it to someone and then came back to continue scanning. During this time, she was called over the speaker for her break, which I guess meant she could completely tune out of her job. She finished scanning my items and we were still waiting the price check, so I thought she would've bagged the other items in the meantime. We continued to wait and I said I would just leave the item. She handed me my receipt and that was it. Didn't bag any of my items, including the fragile items that are typically wrapped in tissue paper to protect them. I asked if she had a bag, she grabbed one and went to hang it to me and then in a hurry started throwing my CANDLES in. I grabbed everything fragile off the counter before she could throw it in and walked out with most of my items unbagged. I think the whole "close, but no cigar" saying comes to mind here... read more

This is the absolute worst HomeGoods in the San Mateo area! There is always a Disney winding line all the way to the TJMaxx side. I was in there today (Thursday at 3pm) and spent 40 minutes in the line. I heard them call over the PA system twice during that time for all cashiers to the registers and when I got up to the front there were 4 cashiers ( they have like 12 registers). It is so frustrating because I love TJMaxx and HomeGoods, but this situation is ridiculous. I have also seen the long line and had to go to an appointment down the street and tried to have them hold a few items and was told that they could only hold items from TJMaxx, not HomeGoods. What?! What kind of nonsense is that? In a regular TJMaxx they carry almost everything that is carried in a HomeGoods, so I don't understand the reasoning for that. Unfortunately, this is the only HomeGoods in the area and because of this I don't go there as often as I would if it were run efficiently. read more

The line to pay is approximately 30 minutes and 2 cashiers. Horrible, never shopping at this store again. The manager needs to be replaced with someone competent to staff the registers. There were a lot of staff on the floor. Put them on the registers. read more

I've been wanting to go to this location for years after seeing it off the 101. I was super disappointed with the parking lot- small spaces, packed, and lots of traffic getting in and out. It's a very busy shopping center and I wish it was better. People just walk everywhere and my car was almost hit twice. Inside, it has a lot of furniture options and the aisles are filled with items. The line is combined with the TJ Maxx next door and I seriously counted 26 people in line so I ended up leaving and not buying anything. I came looking for two specific furniture pieces and didn't see what I needed. I would return but never again on a Saturday afternoon! read more

Oh maan this home goods is chock full of stuff! I was actually a little overwhelmed with the sheer amount of items overflowing the shelves. Highly recommend this place if you just moved into a new place and need cooking supplies, pillows, or random tchotchkes to personalize your home. Pretty much anything you need I'm sure you can find some version of it here. Pluses - attached to a TJMaxx so you can one stop shop. Big negative - The Wait! We stopped by on a random weekend afternoon and the line was already out of control. I can't imagine what it would look like closer to Christmas so keep this in mind. There seemed to be a lot of workers milling about behind the registers but not a lot of cashiers! It was a 15 minute wait for us and the line was pretty slow moving so unless you're buying a couple of things you really want it might not be worth the wait or perhaps just time your trip here for a weekday or early AM on the weekend. read more

Come here if you LOVE candles!!! I am obsessed with Sand + Fog candles and they have a huge selection of scents. I went and they mainly had the larger sizes for $14.99. The smaller ones go for $7.99 but I didn't spot too many of those. I went to another Homegoods that barely had any of this brand at all so I'm so pleased. They used to have a better selection of dishes but now it's a little sad looking. read more

interesting collections of kitchen ware as well as purses....i love going to this store

Always find good value at this store with a great selection of designer and known brands in lamps, linens, artwork, kitchenware, pet needs and all elements to decorate a home. My go to for sprucing up my home! read more

UNsanitary cashier!!! Cashier #11 this afternoon - young woman w dyed blonde hair. When we approached she was fiddling with her hair with her hands. Then she stuck a finger in her mouth(!) as the transaction was being done. Wtf, how can she not know this is disgustingly unsanitary, I don't want her nasty bacteria/viruses transferred to my items or to my receipt. And doesn't she know she's putting germs into her own mouth after touching customers' items and who knows how dirty they are. And why can't they staff more cashiers? The line was circling around almost to the door closest to Industrial Blvd. it was bad before Christmas and no better today. I saw a supervisor(?) with "Coordinator" on her badge but she was doing a go-back or something. Do the go-backs when the store is closed and get the customers in and out promptly! read more

Worst home goods I've ever been to and I love home goods. Crap everywhere so unorganized and broken stuff still on the shelves for sale. Unfortunately this is the closest one to me but I'll never ever go back read more

I don't know what to call this; the only thing I can think of is lack of respect for customers, lack of organization and...greed? I don't know what the financial situation is for TJ Maxx, but I do know that they own Marshall's, Ross and God knows what else... It is the week before Christmas and in the thirty or so years I've been coming here, I've NEVER seen TWO cashiers for a crowd that winds around to the center of the store. At moments they've got three until one goes off. The wait is ridiculous and it is CLEAR that the poor store manager and cashiers are doing everything they can to service everyone as quickly as possible, which is still woefully slow considering the mass of people here. SHAMEFUL, TJ. Maxx. NO STAFFING=HORRIBLE DISSERVICE. Also, the quality of many products has deteriorated terribly; ie. where they used to have pretty, quality comforters in cotton, they now bring mostly the dreaded polyester. Yuck. Their ear plugs used to be ok (not great but decent and a good deal for someone losing their ear buds constantly) and I could use them with my iPhone with an adapter; now they're completely unusable. These are just a few examples. read more

My favorite place to shop . I don't know why they rearranged the whole store. Harder to find things now. I like browsing through the furnishings and I don't see as much furniture now. Maybe things are more spread out. read more

Do you ever wonder if you're really getting a good deal at TJ Maxx? Or a deal at all? Well, I did. Until today. I just bought Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel. It was $5.99 - "Compare to $12.00". When I peeled off the label, which was covering the original price, there it was in black and white: $3.99. The damn thing should have at least been $3.98 for f's sake! They always get me when I'm waiting in the check out line. So many cute trinkets I don't need. And even more aesthetically boring trinkets I don't want. I read an article recently that stated a customer gets more of a deal by shopping at Nordstrom Rack. I'll be going there from now on for new towels or whatever. Consider yourself boycotted, HomeGoods. And all your side-kicks, too (TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc.). You're gross. read more

HomeGoods - Do you want to pay almost twice as much for a product? Head to HomeGoods. - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Carlos, California

I've been to this Home Goods a handful of times. My husband and I bought a house this year, and after some slight updates, we were ready to begin the process of decorating our home. Thanksgiving was coming, and I was able to find my table runner, sheet sets, pillow cases, duvet covers, and several other small kitchen appliances for half of their original price. This location seems to be updated FREQUENTLY. I came in one day, and then the next day I found more items that hadn't been there the day before! You will definitely have to look through everything. The place isn't as organized as it could be, but honestly, the employees try to keep things in tact. It's the rude customers who mess everything up. Honestly, watching some of these crazy Bay Area women prowl around Home Goods makes me (occasionally) question humanity. The lines here can be SUPER long, so be prepared to wait. Thankfully, the store managers make sure 80% of the registers have someone standing behind them. I'm a fan! read more

I've visited this location a few times. It's pretty close to my work so I pop in from time to time. This location is pretty large and they have a lot of products. However, every time I've been here it has been a total mess. Piles or things everywhere and no sense of organization. read more

ITEMS: Wow my first time here and they sure do have home decor and accessories. A lot I liked! If money wasn't a factor I would buy so much here!Furniture items too like ottomans with storage, entryway tables, tables, wall art, mirrors, and so much more. Bedding, duvet covers starting at around $40, towels, baskets, kitchen, pet, curtains, seasonal like Halloween items out already in the end of Aug. PRICES: seem comparable to Ross some the same as Ross or more but might be better quality. STORE: bright with staff re organizing and tidying up around the store. Ladies seemed chatty with each other who work here in a positive way. Connected to TJ Max for a one stop shop. read more

One of the newer locations in the Bay Area. From what I regularly see, this place has the best selection in rugs, accent tables and accent chairs compared to other locations. It's a "smaller" location compared to Redwood City's or Almaden Plaza SJ's, so there will often be fewer cashiers at the front. I actually like the smaller locations like this one. It's similar to the one on Camden Ave SJ where there less of a chance of playing bumper cars with the carts in the aisles and no 'Disneyland line' when you are checking out. Parking is not a hassle which is good when you have to carry to your car your big furnishings/housewares loot afterwards. read more

This place is an absolute mess, the customer service here sucks and the cashiers will talk shit about you in Spanish thinking you don't understand. I found an item and it didn't have a price tag on it, they made me wait 30 minutes so they can "evaluate" the price but then they came and accused me of taking the label off myself and said I couldn't buy it today. Then I was like ok whatever, I said can I buy the rest of my stuff? The cashier scanned a jewelry box that had 2 missing handles on two of the drawers, so I asked if I can at least get a discount on the broken item, waited another 15 minutes just so they could say we can knock off 10% of $99. I was like umm absolutely not so I walked out, I looked up the item and original price is $39.99. What a SCAAAMMM. read more

I really wish I weren't allowed inside this store anymore. Not only is it attached to a TJ Maxx next door, I found a whole cart full of cool storage ideas, picture frames, and chairs IN THE KIDS' SECTION ALONE (note: it is right inside the sliding doors). And each item was under $19.99! I used to think I would love to be lost inside Costco but I think this is my actual true love... read more

This location is combined with TJ Maxx, into one large shopping experience. The HomeGoods section has lots of quality inventory and usually fills all shelf spaces. Great for the home decor shopper. The bad about this location is the checkout line is for both HomeGoods and TJ Maxx. That means waiting in a really really long line to buy something. Product 4/5 Customer Service 2/5 read more

probably one of the cleanest and well stocked HG store one the bay area. it is linked to a TJ max as well so you can look for clothing as well as home decor. many pieces here isn't stocked at other stores when it comes to furniture and your more than likely to find pairs or more than a few set of things you may need. ample parking and easy to find. read more

What an amazing find for me! It literally helped me to decor ( and also furnish!!!) My house and my friends houses too!

Simply unbeatable. And now with all the Christmas stuff around is even better!!! read more
