I had just ordered 3 of them two weeks ago on Amazon for a third of the price at Clas Ohlson. Unfortunately I grabbed the wrong charger and what I need is back in the states. I refuse to pay $30 for a charger that I paid $3 two weeks ago. And not every Clas Ohlson carries them. This store does and in general seems to have more stuff. However, things that I bought 2 years ago are higher in price and are nowmore readily available at Costco US. Those dish cloths are really nice. The store is pretty well organized but still confusing. Which level has what you want? Two information desks had long waits and am I supposed to stand in line or is that white thing a numbering system. It is in Swedish with 3 selections. I have no clue. Even though I am in Sweden, this store is in a massive tourist area and it would be helpful to have a few signs in English. The store is located very close to T Centrallen but I came off the green line. Where is the Ahlen's exit which is close to the Clas Ohlson store. I know Ahlen and Hemkoff have a T Centrallen exit. This store is still worth a look but is no longer the bargain it has been in the past. No cheap knockoff for watch chargers. I don't even know if Stockholm even has cheap knockoffs. So 3 stars for me. It's okay just not the bargain it once was.

While being inside the store I opened my backpack to grab some tissues to blow my nose; and when I…read morewas leaving the security guard asked me to move to the side after and started intimidating me saying that he had caught me on camera stealing and that he saw everything and that he had it on camera. He even searched a pocket in my jacket without my consent (found my wallet). I told him I opened my backpack to get tissues and I showed it to him and he still did not let me go and kept trying to intimate me constantly saying that he saw me that I took something and in the end after he started realizing I did not he said that he asked me one last time if I steal something, to which I replied "I swear I did not" then he said he was going to trust me this time and let me go. I was blindsided and felt so nervous that I did not react as I should have which was to go to the manager of the store. I have called now twice but not sure if they will do something about it. I understand if they saw something suspicious they can ask costumers but not an excuse to intimidate or to put their hands in a jacket without consent. Terrible protocol. But worst experience as a customer specially being from outside of Sweden. Such a shame as Clas Ohlson is usually a nice place but never going to the one in Drottninggatan again in my life and suggest tourists to do the same!

This whole place had a lot of different local items that were so cute. Some items included: jewelry, kitchen gadgets, backpacks/wallets, notebooks, cards, soaps, stuffed animals and other kids items. I picked up a handful of smaller items that didn't seem unreasonably priced. The woman working at the counter was also super cool, and asked if I wanted to get my items tax free and explained the process for when I go home and showed me details of how to do it.

This is the heart of SoFo, packed with chic items actually made in Sweden. It's exactly what people…read moremean by "Nordic Cool." Even with a REA sign on display (which literally stands for "realizing assets" in Sweden), the prices still feel a bit steep. I might just be comparing it to Budapest or Paris, where affordable boutiques are everywhere.Then again, this is the Nordic region. They are very strict about keeping out cheap mass-productions or low-quality goods from third-party countries. Unlike some "Made in Italy" labels that actually rely on exploited cheap labor, Sweden focuses on the real deal. I absolutely love the minimalism of Swedish chic. If you are in Stockholm, SoFo is definitely a standout spot! I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars, even though I didn't end up buying anything. Södermalm is truly the place to be if you want to avoid the usual tourist crowds. They are Swedes, so if you say "Hej Hej," the service is going to be awesome. Having been around Scandinavians ( Americans) all my life, the culture is completely familiar to me. Yes, you get a straight face instead of bubbly, cheap small talk, but there is a genuine, warm welcome underneath. Fake small talk just doesn't exist in their service industry.
