The…read morereason I give them a 2 star review is because the sales person was not friendly or helpful at all . I had a shirt I wanted to try on. Since so many places don't have open dressing rooms, I asked if I could try the shirt on. She rudely said that the dressing room is over there. These were the only words she spoke to me the entire time I was there. I just left the shirt and asked out. I was just visiting Des Moines for a few days, but would never go back to Worn

Discerning Eye provided one of the best shopping experiences I've ever had in my 30+ years…read more Seriously. My husband and I stopped in here for the first time on a Saturday (no appointment needed to look at frames) in December. We didn't know much about the place, expect for some reviews we had read online. He really wanted some new frames that 'didn't look like all the others.' Enter Discerning Eye. We arrived to a bustling shop and were greeted right away. This place is a feast for the eyes. So many beautiful frames to try on. Eclectic, funky, artsy, and unique describe what they have to offer. After a few minutes of browsing, Emily came over to assist us. She is awesome. She stayed with us during our entire visit. My husband tried on several different frames, asked lots of questions, and we were in and out in less than two hours. We never felt rushed while we were there, despite how busy they were. Frames are organized by designer. Bargain frames are in the basement. We intend to go back and check those out at some point. They had a trunk show going on the day we visited, so it was quite the overall experience. Snacks, CHAMPAGNE, and a prize basket (we received $30 off a pair of frames). I highly recommend Discerning Eye if you're looking for something like no other, excellent customer service, and for an experience you won't soon forget.

I got an email stating that they were out of stock and cancelled my order. No refund. It's been almost a month of calling stopping in the store, still, no refund just keep getting told to wait for the credit on my card. Today they told me it would be a check mailed to me, and now I have to wait another 30 days to get that. I would never shop here again, best advice is if you shop here don't buy online, your money could be lost. Order was canceled on July 19, 2021, still no refund as of Aug 10, 2021. BTW the lady in the store said she couldn't help me, even though she placed the order online in the store. What a joke of a store.

The selection is always great and we always walk away happy with our purchase. The price is reasonable but there are times when you can find a great sale as well. They do have a few selections that aren't sunglasses but rather cosmetic glasses to brighten your look indoors as well. The bad thing is they tend to wear a bit faster than other glasses. The earpieces chip or they don't hold up well. But for the price and the selection, we're glad to come back each year.

How have I never reviewed Scheels?…read more I am grateful to have this location. With two kiddos that are active in a lot of sports, Scheels has come to the rescue a time or two. (Specifically, when I realized my son didn't have an adequate batting helmet for baseball mere hours before his first game of the season. I was able to order online and pickup no problem. He is insanely proud of his golden helmet, might I add.) This location expanded during the pandemic and has a ton! Hunting, biking, fishing, skiing,... a robust Iowa Hawkeye apparel section... shoes, apparel-- you name it! Honestly, my favorite spot to shop Scheels is online. I got some amazing Fornia clothes on clearance. My blazer I got is legit one of my favorite things and I spent less than $10-- what a steal! I also got some great Mud Pie Christmas decor super cheap online. It's open daily, parking is a non-issue. Staff is always so friendly and knowledgable. As I mentioned above, don't forget to order online easily for pickup.
