I suppose some things are better to look at and touch in person before you buy. I've never bought anything of Temu or similar junk eBay knock offs - I think it sets yourself up for disappointment.

Motivation to buy exists too - if you wait it might be gone next week and they don't replace and stock a bunch of the same thing.

Floor and Decor came highly recommended to me by two of my coworkers. They told me they have a…read moregreat selection without the specialty tile store prices. They even have obscure items like dark purple sparkly grout. I was blown away by how large their showroom is. They even have XL porcelain slabs. I used to say I hate tile because of the grout but they have beautiful selections. They even have a clearance section in the back left of the store. The first visit we didn't find the Schluter edge trims we needed. But they do have a much larger selection than your local hardware store. The second visit I was looking for Y shaped spacers for installing hexagon tiles. An employee asked if I needed help. He and another employee took maybe 10 minutes out of their way to help me look for the Y spacers. Super nice! Exceptional service! Their inventory online actually seems to be accurate because they asked if I had the SKU and it told them the same number available as what I saw online. I had called two other flooring stores nearby to see if they sell Y shaped spacers but they don't. Definite plus in how large their inventory and selection is. I will be going out of my way to cross the bridge to go to Floor and Decor for my next project needs.

There are many hard to find items and World Market is usually my go-to for those hidden gems! One in particular are the Bon-Bons candies that reminisce high school years when they were used for fundraising. Would highly recommend this World Market and Oakland location.

This experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it…read more On a Saturday evening around 6:50 p.m., I stopped by Hobby Lobby with my 4-year-old daughter and my elderly mother-in-law. We were preparing for an upcoming funeral, and I needed help with an expensive gold frame I had purchased from Hobby Lobby. One of the corners had separated, and I wanted to know whether the framing department could repair or reinforce it. Because the frame was large and heavy, I left it in my trunk until I confirmed that someone could help. My mother-in-law waited nearby so she could rest while my daughter accompanied me to the framing counter. I approached the employee working in the framing department and asked if he could assist me. His first response was, "I'm off in six minutes - what do you need?" The tone immediately caught me off guard. As I began explaining that the corner of the frame had broken apart and needed reinforcement, he interrupted me and said, "Stop. Just hurry up and tell me what you need." I was surprised because I was simply trying to explain the issue so he could determine whether it was something the framing department could fix. I told him the frame was needed for a funeral and asked if it could be repaired. Instead of addressing my question, he asked why my husband couldn't fix it. I explained that my husband is currently deployed, so he wasn't available to help, and that while I would try to repair it myself if necessary, I also work full-time. His response was simply, "So do I." At that point, it was clear that helping me was not a priority. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that my 4-year-old daughter asked afterward, "Mommy, why was that man so mean? Why didn't he want to help us?" Hearing that from my child was heartbreaking. I told her that maybe he was having a difficult day because I wanted her to understand that we should still try to show kindness to others. I shared my experience with the manager, who told me that this employee often tells others how important it is to be friendly with customers. Unfortunately, that was not reflected in the interaction we experienced. Thankfully, we went to Ace Hardware afterward, where an employee immediately took the time to help us. He recommended reinforcing the frame with small metal corner brackets, nails, and gold spray paint. His advice worked perfectly, and we were able to save the frame in time for the funeral. This review isn't about expecting perfection. Everyone has stressful days. It's about the importance of treating people with basic courtesy and respect, especially when they may already be going through a difficult time. A little kindness can make all the difference. Unfortunately, that was missing from our experience at Hobby Lobby.

I will say the prices seemed a little high. Some of the lesser priced items definitely felt cheaper. I decided to go with a reclining sectional. I added a few pieces which drove the price up some more but was necessary. The coverage plan cost a lot, but seems worth it and if you don't use it, you get it back in store credit. The biggest problem I had was delivery. Unless the item is over 6k, it's 450.00 in delivery. Between the sectional, warranty, and tax I was over 6k and that didn't apply, which I was not happy with but had no other option. Time will tell the durability of the product, but it seems nice and we enjoy it for now.

This company gave me the runaround from the very beginning. I went in and bought an entire king frame and king mattress (mattress #1) totaling $2,480. Nobody told me the mattress I bought was on backorder. They just sold it to me as if it was in stock. When they sent me my delivery summary for July 9, I had to call THEM because my frame was listed but my mattress wasn't. No one told me anything. If I hadn't called, they would have delivered the frame, taken my current mattress, and I would've been left confused and without a bed. (Luckily I told them to leave my queen mattress.) Only after I pointed it out did they tell me the mattress had never been available and was on backorder. My mother-in-law is getting married in September in Japan, and my husband, mom, and I were supposed to leave after mattress #1 was promised for July 9. Our flight was July 14. Welp, it got so bad that I had to send my husband and mom ahead of me because they kept pushing the delivery date back and someone had to stay home. I changed my flight to JAPAN TWICE, costing me hundreds of dollars. Every time I called, I couldn't reach the store because no one answered. I was transferred to overseas customer service, where they'd promise me another delivery date. Every delivery day came and went, I'd call again, and they'd tell me the mattress was still on backorder and give me another date. This happened over and over. It was a total nightmare. I finally went into the store, and they had me pick another mattress that I actually loved (mattress #2). Janelle said that because it was an Ashley mattress, it should arrive on August 1. They told me to call a week beforehand to make sure everything was on track. Welp... I did. Again, I couldn't reach the store, got transferred overseas, and was told mattress #2 wouldn't arrive because... surprise... it was ON BACKORDER. THIS TIME I called Janelle directly, and she told me they were trying to find me ANOTHER bed (mattress #3). Eventually they found a memory foam mattress for around $465 that could supposedly be delivered July 30. I almost settled because I was SO fucking tired of dealing with their shit. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized they didn't deserve my money. I canceled the entire order. I now have mattress PTSD and am just waiting for something to go wrong with my financing refund so they can give me the runaround again. Janelle was kind and genuinely tried to help. But neither the manager nor anyone else actually gave a fuck that I had to stay behind while my family attended my mother-in-law's pre-wedding celebrations or that I had to change my flight twice. The manager's exact words were: "Sometimes you're the windshield wiper and sometimes you're the bug on the window. I guess today you're the bug." I even had to be the one suggesting discounts or compensation after everything I'd been through. Meanwhile, their only solution was to keep pushing me toward another mattress. NO ONE at this store can guarantee that anything will actually arrive on the delivery date, no matter how much they tell you they have "pull." The warehouse, the store, and overseas customer service all tell you different things, and you'll never know which way is up. I was apparently naive enough to think that when a company gives you a delivery date, they'll actually deliver your purchase. Please do not shop here. I'm BEGGING you. I delayed my flight twice over the course of a month, missed family celebrations, and paid hundreds of dollars because Ashley Homestore of Concord at 2201 John Glenn Dr. didn't give a single shit. After canceling today, I went to Mattress Firm, and the experience couldn't have been more different. Andy at the Emeryville location was knowledgeable, efficient, honest, and incredibly helpful. Our king mattress will be here TOMORROW. I can finally book a flight to my mother-in-law's wedding celebrations without wondering if I'll have to cancel it again. For the last time: beware of this fucking store. Seriously. They'll gladly take your financing or your money, and after that you'll be chasing deliveries for items that were never in stock to begin with.
