That could be pottery, clothing, art, furniture, tchotchkes, plants, or something else. Some get really creative with their booths, adding hanging decor or a fun layout. I had some sticker shock over pricing, but I'm sure there are deals to be found also. If I were looking for a special item I would certainly return here to search. And it's a great place to wander looking for nothing in particular!

I came to Joybird to sit on couches and see which was comfiest for me and settled on the U shaped…read moreBryant in a custom color. Kimberly helped me out and was a great advisor for the process and I understood that choosing a custom color was different than a floor color. It took a couple months for my couch to come but delivery was seamless and my couch is sooo comfy 7 months later with lots of everyday use and pets. The couches are a little spendy but waiting for a sale (I waited until Black Friday) makes it worth it in my opinion.

Our experience with Joybird was deeply disappointing--because of how the company operates once they…read morehave your money. Joybird is optimized to get you to buy--and then leave you stranded. Even if the color is wrong. Even if the product can't physically be delivered. Even if the mistake isn't yours. We purchased two couches from this Joybird store. At no point during the sales process were we told that the orders were non-returnable. When the couches arrived, one of them did not match the fabric swatch we were shown in the store. The other one never even made it into our home--the delivery team could not get it up the stairs. When we reached out to Joybird, they refused to accept a return, refused a refund, and refused to take responsibility--on either couch. Instead, they pointed us to fine print on their website about their company policies. It would be one thing if: - The sales associate had clearly explained that all orders were final. - We were pointed to explicit fine print before purchasing. - The product delivered actually matched what we were shown. But none of that happened. There are many other furniture companies that treat customers far better and stand behind what they sell. I strongly recommend choosing one of them instead.

We stopped by Muji spontaneously while walking around nearby. I was excited to see a location in…read morePDX and was eager to browse around. I will say the store layout was a bit interesting, with some areas that felt more cramped. It was fairly crowded when we went, so I did have to squeeze by people to make my way through the store. I spent some time browsing the clothing section and found several items that caught my eye. The clearance section was a bit disorganized and the sizes were not labeled clearly unfortunately. Customer service at Muji was friendly and adequate. The staff working in the fitting room area were especially helpful. It would've been great to have more fitting rooms available, as the line moved slowly and took up a good chunk of time. You are also limited to bringing in 5 items at a time but you can swap out items as needed. I ended up purchasing multiple tops and a few pants for everyday wear. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to browse the homewares section but was pretty satisfied with my clothing purchases and shopping experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

I have never seen anything like it and genuinely, if your are like me and like to keep a pear, a few apples and an orange on hand but want them to last - this is not only amazing looking but perfect!! I did purchase a few smaller items. The first was a felt coaster which is so perfect! They have an array of different colors - my choice was a gorgeous burgundy and I loved being able to buy just one. I have coasters for guests which is a whole set but for my daily iced drink covered in condensation, this is so perfect. The card says they are made in Germany by a company called Parkhaus and how to care for and clean the coaster. The other item was a greeting card which I intend to frame. Vancouver Washington artist Claudia Moore makes the cards with foraged leaves and seeds. This is a great spot if you are looking for something unique as a gift or for your home. They also have some very nice cleaning solutions and bath products. There is a well thought, small selection of purses and bags.

I was first exposed to Spade and Archer because I attended an open house for a home that was BEAUTIFULLY staged. Seriously -- the staging stood out to me more than parts of the actual home did! Needless to say, when it came time for me to try to sell my home, S&A was top of my list. I knew staging my home would be challenging. It's an old house, and a lot of the rooms are narrow and long. I also knew it would be important to stage the home in such a way that the furniture would complement some of my home's turn of the century features. Well, reader, Spade and Archer absolutely, 100% delivered. They were friendly, easy to work with, and seamless in their set up and take down of the staging. Plus -- my house sold in 4 days! I would happily work with them again, and have nothing but great things to say about their aesthetic choices and approach to business.

This agency understands buyers and how to manufacture demand. Combined with a good agent, you'll be successful. Our experience was great. The designer provided frank suggestions but left final decisions up to us and our budget. He was upfront and crystal clear about the process. Our eclectic taste was complimented but neutralized in order to get us a fantastic return in the sale. That funky light we love? 80% of buyers don't love it and the buyer is the one who counts. The buyer wants to see THEM in the space, not YOU. The execution team was on time, professional, and thorough. Lovely people. The result: Sold in 7 days after a bidding war for $45K over asking. We beat every single non-Spade & Archer staged comp in a 1-mile radius in a red-hot market. If and when we move next, this will be my first call after my agent.
