I bought a "Fjords" leather swivel recliner there many years ago that still looks new; I will never part with it. For my recent purchases I worked with Leslie Gray; she is sooo helpful. I normally prefer to browse alone but this place is huge; and so is the wide variety of goods. It was really beneficial and nice to have a design consultant there to guide me. Leslie sized me up in no time and had me looking at the perfect items for my current needs.....this saved me not only money, but a lot of time as well. Kudos to Leslie and Merrill's Furniture.

Some of them are pleasant surprises, such as something I had years ago and haven't thought about, or something seasonal or stocked temporarily that I would never have thought to look for. It makes the trips more fun than your average store. Recently I also found a winter hat the same style but much better than one I had passed over at twice the police at Reny's (another great store). So I will obviously keep going to Ocean State when we are in my home town.

This is a HUGE location and it's filled to the rafters with stuff. Not all of it is good stuff. Some of it is junk. It is the very antithesis of organized. They make some effort to try to be organized, in that there is a row of sporting goods, one of kitchen goods, and another with other stuff. the goods are basically tossed in each aisle leaving the shopper to fend for themselves. the only aisles that offer some form of organization are the hardware, fabric, and flooring section. the rest? Not so much. The fabric section should be mentioned. It's awesome. Last season's (or the season before) fabric at low prices. If you quilt or do any sort of fabric craft AT all you can find some amazing deals in Marden's on fabric. It is also the only area of the store that looks as though it's cleanish. Where you might unload $200 on the same amount of fabric at Joanne's at mardens you'll spend a fraction of that. For $100 you can get enough fabric to make a good sized quilt. This location is also beginning to lose it's shine. After they took over the walmart building it was shiny and new and looked great. The exterior could use a paint job, but I guess they haven't salvaged the red paint yet... The once well maintained lot is heaved and has pits. The interior could do with the floor being washed and a solid dusting. It's not filthy just getting there. Where clothing you'd do yard work in, because you'll be digging around looking for things and it's not clean.

Every time we stayed in Saco, we went there. I had just finished my wonderful trip in Bar Harbor and we found Renys coming home . It's in Ellsworth and we saw it on the way in. It's a good 30 minutes from Bar Harbor. We wanted to come before but when you are doing Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor, you don't have much time. I am glad I came to see it. It is a big store, clean, and they have a great assortment of shoes, clothes, accessories. Always good prices. I wish I had more time, they were closing in 30 minutes. But I got to look around and remember the good old days of shopping in Renys. When in Maine, you have to come. It's a local store, only found in this state and it's truly fun to shop.
