This place feels more like a scam operation. We placed an order and paid in full in August. The…read moreowner came back more than 2 months later and said that the manufacturer passed on a 20% price increase that I would have to pay or they would refund my money. The sales people felt badly about the situation, but the owner would not consider absorbing any of the increase as "he was already losing money on it". I contacted the manufacturer who said that was not the case and referred me to another store out of state. That store charged me the same price I had originally paid.

Although there was stiff competition from many competing retailers: Crate & Barrel (former Design Research space), Heartwood, Bowl and Board, The Home Design Store, Dynasty Furniture, later BoConcept, etc., (no DWR at that time), City Schemes consistently had the most practical, stylish, and accessible selections. Over the years, I had bought a desk, dining table, bed, and night tables, and was always fully satisfied with all aspects of the purchase. I've since moved to Brookline. The Italian Stefano Cavazzana platform bed I bought in 2008, somehow the metal frame warped, due probably to excess or uneven weight/stress. At first I despaired to be able to replace it, since I love the bed, so before doing any kind of internet search I contacted the Sales Dept at City Schemes...long story short about 2 months later and for $250 delivered and tipped, I have an exact replacement frame!! The store keeps immaculate records of all sales, I did have my original receipt as well, but in my mind it was a long shot this was ever going to work out, and that it did so, and so perfectly, is a commendation to this store and the way they stand behind their products. I would have HATED to through the hassle of needing a new bed, or searching for hours and hours to find the correct replacement platform if I even could have?? Thank you Joanne and everyone involved. Happy Xmas!

Another winter, another shovel…read more I showed up here last Tuesday (you know, the day it snowed a lot before it rained and froze and all those roofs fell in?) in the hopes that they would save my ass with their shovel supply again. They did. It wasn't my first choice in shovels, but it was the LAST DAMN ONE. I got it at a discount too, why? I'm not sure. But I was GRATEFUL AS HELL. These guys are always nice to me, and always have what I want.

The owner, Addi, was instantly warm and helpful. We took our time and he walked me through all products I was interested in. I was there to buy a lamp and there were many great options, both for candles and for lightbulbs. Everything is handcrafted. The prices are very fair in my opinion. I bought a stunning lamp for only $110. It was not equipped for light bulbs at the time but Addi offered to do that on the spot. Saved me a trip back out to Somerville (I live in Brighton)! This is fantastic spot to buy unique gifts for someone, especially if they have a taste for the exotic.

It was difficult to find plants that weren't damaged and in need of some serious TLC, although the prices were fairly decent for the Boston area. I would surely pay less locally, but I digress. Checking out was also a confusing process, and the store itself didn't feel very welcoming to customers as if the music was playing to make it seem like the employees couldn't talk. I probably wouldn't go here again unless I was looking for a cactus or succulent, and even then there's slim pickings.

I stopped at this large store in Somerville for the first time and I was really impressed by the size of it and how nicely organized and clean it was.
