Home Sense has usually let me buy really nice things for a fraction of the cost. We were in here…read morerecently for some Christmas presents. We found about 10 really nice gifts here. All in different departments. You can get some really good deals here. It is not a store where you should go away to think about if you want it or not. Chances are the item will not be there when you go back. Sometimes there are only a few items, and when they go, you are out of luck. So I have learned the hard way, If you see it and like it, buy it!

I like this store more than I realize. Normally when I'm looking for homey things, I automatically…read morehead to Home Outfitters or Sears. But Home Sense has some great deals. Those great deals also make it really easy to impulse buy. :-) We ended up here in a search for affordable bath mats. We found what we were looking for, then moseyed through the store because great deals. I've been coveting an enamel pot for a long time now, but they are too pricey for me. Why I never thought of checking Home Sense I don't know. Found a brand-name enamel pot for an incredible price. Exactly what I wanted. Home Sense has a unique selection of all things homey: kitchenware, bathware, decor, bedding ... they have it all. They have items and prices you just can't find at other stores in the area.

Wicker Emporium is basket central. If in need of baskets, or some beautiful silk curtains, or…read moremaybe some funky red chairs, this is the place to go. Wicker Emporium carries a variety of furniture as well, mostly pine, but very nice quality and not all the same generic look, which can get boring. They have some nice pieces that were done in the stressed look, some really nice ,what I call , chunky tables. They have a large selection of curtains, which is great. I was there they had a fabulous sale, $14.00 for the curtains reg $30.00. Pillows, ah, I love pillows, they have beautiful accent pillows. I just like this store, and I saw this really neat lamp, I will go back for that.

This is by far one of my favourite stores! Regardless of the time of year, the season or my budget,…read moreI can usually find exactly what I'm looking for (or not looking for) in this store! I've walked out of this store with the best deals! I've gotten lamps for 75% off because of a small ding in the back. I've gotten pillows with tiny rips in the seam for next to nothing and some great nicknack's for around my home at amazing prices!! I love their curtains especially. I'm a big fan of candles and anything wooden. They have such a great selection of what I'm looking for. I'm rarely disappointed in the product or the store itself.

Hello, I did…read morecurbside pick up today. I understand the current climate of the pandemic, but the employees of Linen Chest at Bayers Lake in Halifax NS can still be decent human beings. A pandemic is no excuse. I watched an older couple walk-out with a bag of items. So I automatically assumed, as there was no signage outside, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to walk in and pick up my order. First of all, I walked in and was NOT greeted. Instead, before I could walk pass the front mat. I heard," You gotta...."I could barely hear her, very muffled due to the mask she was wearing, hardly any eye contact, she pointed as if I had to wait in the entrance. So that's what I did. I waited for a few minutes to be asked, can I help you?, which never happened. Instead, I was ignored. I then said," Excuse me; I have an online order to pick up." Then the whole tone changed. I felt as if now, my presence was known, and I was no longer being ignored. She asked my name, and what it was I ordered, NOW I can hear her clearly because I already spent money I'm guessing. They put my four pillows on the counters. The other representative took the pillows and started walking towards me. I ask politely, " Do I take the pillows from you? "... Her reply was "Just open your trunk, so you don't get too close to me" that's fine, I respect that. But it's all in the tone. She put the pillows in my trunk, and walked away, before entering the store. She said," next time, just call the store." How about there will never be a next time, especially at that location. And have a nice day too... I've done multiple orders online to pick up in-store, from the grocery store, to home hardware, to furniture stores, and at Bed Bath And Beyond. NOTHING compares to the level of horrible service I've received today. I wonder if the couple before me and gentleman after received the same underwhelming level of customer service. If so, that's unfortunate. I was so distraught, I called my husband to cope with the anxiety that the whole situation created during my visit. Those two employees should be ashamed of their selves.

I have never had such a great shopping experience as I had during my first visit to the Linen…read moreChest. I had assumed by their name they were just sheets and towels, so I didn't bother stopping in until recently. But no, they are much, much more than just linens. First, you are offered a hot beverage when you enter. We were also offered ham panini bites. I had tea, and Mike had hot chocolate and panini. They use the products they sell (in this case coffee maker and panini maker), so it's rather like a demo as well. Cleo was super helpful and informative while serving us. The store is deceptively huge. It looks smaller outside than it really is. Also, they have everything. Dinnerware. Glasses. Home decor. Kitchen appliances. Bedding. Mattresses. Window coverings. Exclusive lines. More knick-knacks than you can shake a stick at. And almost everything was on sale the day of our visit. I swear we spent an hour wandering through each section. Eventually we bought some glasses and a lotion dispenser (hush, it's a cool dispenser). The prices were awesome. I can't wait to return. This is my new first stop for all things homey.

You will have a choice of colors for different models and even fabric to choose from, I personally love leather. I like it because it does not wear as much and very easy to clean, and of course really nice leather is awesome to the touch. The sales people here are very helpful and usually know the different products to assist you. However, just like everywhere, there never seems to be enough of them. Lazy boy can be one of the more expensive brands to buy. I would suggest do your comparison shopping. However , keep in mind here, a lot of the product needs to be ordered in. So if you are going on a buy now day, your choice will be limited.

I think that would best describe my first visit to Lee Valley…read more I've ordered from their website for my Dad a number of times but decided since I was headed to Bayers Lake anyways, that I'd stop in to the store. That was a mistake. I went in on Saturday morning and was completely overwhelmed as I walked in to find at least 100 people wandering around the store. There was no signage to tell me where to go or how to order...so I wandered around for 5 minutes trying to find someone to ask. When I found someone, and told him what I wanted, he did a search on his computer, said he had it, and then told me I'd have to get a number and wait in line to get the product. Wait, what? So I just waited for you to find this on your computer but you can't actually help me at all? Thanks. So I took a number and waited 10 minutes.I was 167, they were on 129 and moving slowly. I was done at that point. I was confused because I didn't understand the sales process, annoyed because there was no one to help me figure it out and frustrated because for all their amazing products there was NO customer service at the store. I'll be going back during non-peak hours to try again but I am not happy about it. Next year I'll order online or find another store. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Their prices aren't cheap but the quality is almost always superb and their tools are first rate. I love poking around for gadgety things here, and it's a good place to buy stocking stuffers. It's a fabulous source of cabinet hardware (knobs, pulls, hinges, clasps) in a mind-boggling range of styles and at a variety of price points. They put out the most beautiful catalogs imaginable, too. I agree that having to take numbers and wait for the staff to fetch your items can be a little cumbersome, but you can avoid this by ordering online and picking things up at the store.
