I had the opportunity to visit this much needed fresh approach to furniture and design store,…read moreScandinavian Design. If you are familiar with the Southern Maryland (Waldorf) area, you will find this store where Toys r Us use to be. Years ago the DMV had a few Eurocentric furniture stores such as SCAN and StoreHouse. Unfortunately, these stores closed their doors for good in the early 2000s. Luckily, we now have a rebirth of this awesome euro style furniture in our backyard. There was so much to consider, I need another visit to truly separate my wants and needs. Upon entry, I was greeted by a nice sales person (Nadia). She gave me information then allowed me to shop in peace. Please ask for Nadia during your visit. I've attached several photos to give you a visual of how unique their furniture options are when compared to other stores. I later reached back out to Nadia to discuss an art piece that I wanted to purchase. She set everything up and even informed me of an imminent holiday sale (nice)! Thanks Nadia!

This location was ok. They have all the usual stuff but they don't seem to carry as many frame sizes and styles as they used to. It could be the location to cause when I go home to the south they always seem to have much more stock and selection than DC locations. It's the same for Wal-mart too. I did find a couple frames but it wasn't much to choose from. Not a bad store but friends what you're looking for.

My parents had a beautiful wood based chair that they no longer wanted/needed, so they asked if I…read morewanted to take it off their hands. It was barely used and was in excellent condition, but for some odd reason the cushion was sinking. I figured, if I got it reupholstered to the color of my choice and had the cushion replaced, it would be good as new. I took to my handy dandy Yelp app and did a search and Mill End popped up. I'm familiar with the shop, since a family member worked there years ago, but I had no clue they did this type of work. I gave them a call and was told to bring in a picture to evaluate the chair because they didn't want me to be without my chair for a long time. Well, I thought bringing in the chair itself would be easier, since I wasn't in a hurry for it. I was greeted by a very knowledgeable staff member who gushed about how beautiful the chair was. She did an evaluation of what would be needed to repair and reupholster it and then showed me the fabrics that were available in the color I selected. They have a large variety of fabrics on-sight in the store, but they do have options that can be ordered. The one I selected was on-sight. We agreed upon the estimated price, I filled out some paperwork and I was out the door. It was literally that quick and simple. Since they have a pretty extensive client list waiting for their projects before me, my estimated date for the chair to be completed was about 2 months or so. To my surprise, I was called about a month later informing me that my chair was ready. I arrived and was extremely pleased with my brand new chair. The workmanship was beautifully done and the cushion they replaced was perfectly placed. They did such a phenomenal job, my parents wanted their chair back. Lol! Not on my watch! Yes, Mill End is a bit pricey, but so worth it! They're truly professionals. I'm planning to get my dinning room chairs reupholstered in the near future, so I made sure to get an estimate while I was there. I'll absolutely be back in the near future.

She spent about an hour with me and didn't give me any push back when I wanted to go home and measure and think more. I came back the next day with my husband and texted her before I arrived so that I could meet up with her again. Little did I know that she actually came in on her day off to help me!! She showed us both the couches on our list again and after struggling between two that we liked but each having different pros/cons, she showed us one that was slightly more than the budget I gave and it checked every single one of our boxes. She was straight forwarded and not pushy at all. The process was absolutely incredibly easy and I highly recommend visiting Mary David if you're looking for any furniture!!!

Now i have to wait 2 weeks for them to deliver the right color. Guess what, they sent thr wrong color again. Now I have my furniture and my recliner has been stuck open since February 2026 and I paid for the sorry Goof Troop protection plan (trash). It took them 3 months to send the part to repair the recliner (still not repaired). They did not send all the parts. Now I guess im supposed to wait another 3 months before they send the part. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM THEM AGAIN. I REGRET PURCHASING THE SORRY PROTECTION PLAN. At this point I should just purchase another recliner from somewhere else. Really Disappointed in the service.

I went here recently because I was in the hunt for a new Yukata but stumbled so much beyond that…read more They were one of the shops at the Sakura Matsuri DC event that sold Kimonos/Yukatas/Obis, ect... First thing out of the way, Arise Bazaar is not easy to find but I made it easier to find. It's behind the shops in front as soon as you enter. Past the first row of places, immediately make a left and you'll see Arise. I think they did not have a sign at the time luckily it was not hard to spot ( there was a van that had cherry blossoms as a dead giveaway too ). Second, the person (Paul) who runs this shop does not open this shop frequently. If it is not a sale he is doing, most of the time you'd have to schedule an appointment for him to come out. It's a bit strange but since my visit was based on his IG post about a sale on everything in the store, it was enticing for me to check it out. They just have really limited hours so I highly suggest you go early. Third, while I am all for supporting Arise Bazaar, the items I got besides the Yukata might be on Amazon. I realized after buying my Clip On Obi that it's cheaper on there but I will leave that to your digression. That being said.. Walking in here, this is a warehouse full of antiques. From pottery to paintings, to kimonos/yukatas.. there's a lot going on here. Paul, the person who runs the store was kind enough to take time to show me where the Yukatas were at and left me to see what color scheme or design I wanted to try out. He was nice and even offered to help me put the yukata on. Since I wanted more than the Yukata, I also tried out the Clip on Obi he recommended. He was not really knowledgeable and tried his best to help me put it on securely but he offered to see if a staff member could come in to help assist in the future. After picking out the Yukata and the Clip on Obi, we looked at fans to buy and he was generous enough to let me get an extra fan as a gift. I think the total after the discount was around 200 which was a nice deal. My only complaint is that the store is very all over the place. Many boxes of things that could be out in display, there were Kimonos/Yukatas I did not get to check out and I wish I mentioned that sooner. Paul is also an expert of Kimonos, but if you wanted to get your kimono actually dressed professionally, he has to inquire with a staff member who's more prepared for that. I just found it a bit difficult to understand if it's your profession to be an expert but not be able to not tie a Kimono/Yukata. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh but I want people to what to expect. Overall my experience was great, I do want to support the store despite knowing some items could be a bit pricier. Definitely a hidden gem if you are on the hunt for Japanese Antiques!

Since my husband and I first visited Arise Bazaar in 2017 (the first of several visits), I'd have…read moretrouble counting how many wonderful pices we've purchase there: gorgeous early 1900s ceramics, authenticated Kawase Husui woodblocks, authenticated Imao Keinen ukiyo-e prints, vintage stencils for kimonos, mingei, and one incredible vintage sumi-e painting that has become the show-stopper piece of art in our house. (Unfortunately, my best efforts to get a full read of the artist's signature have proven unfruitful so far, so we have to say this is by an "anonymous artist," but I keep trying to find someone who can decode the inscriptions. I'll include a photo here.) I've read other reviews saying that this warehouse is a bit chock-a-block and hard to navigate. I would submit that a) the proprietor, Paul MacLardy, does most of his business at shows, which is to say: this is a *warehouse," b) if you tell Paul what you're interested in, he'll either locate it immediately in said warehouse, or remember what you're interested in and contact you if he finds what you want, however long that takes. (I have him on the lookout now for a great piece of kintsugi/kintsukuroi. If anyone can find it, it will be Paul.) c) the warehouse has been completely reorganized just this year, to make for a much easier browsing experience. I saw one reviewer take Paul to task for "not being Japanese." I don't want to dignify that with a response, except to say that Paul has encyclopedic knowledge of Japanese art and costume from all periods. He's even been called to the White House more than once to appraise Japanese art gifts! And he's literally "written the book" on kimono. Bottom line: I give this place five stars, and I'm sorry that anyone else has had anything less than a very positive experience.
