I just wanted to give a heartfelt shout-out to Trish, the manager at the Rockville HomeSense…read more My 5-year-old son is autistic and incredibly sensitive to the energy of the people around him. He doesn't warm up to everyone--but he absolutely lights up when he sees Trish. In fact, before we even walk into the store, he'll ask, "Is Trish here today?" That says more than I ever could. Trish has such a genuine warmth about her. She's kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to make us feel seen. She has a calm, positive presence that makes both of us feel comfortable every time we visit. As a parent, it's incredibly meaningful to see someone naturally create such a safe and welcoming environment for a child who experiences the world a little differently. We genuinely look forward to shopping at this location because of Trish. She represents the very best of customer service--not because she's doing anything extraordinary for recognition, but because her kindness is authentic and consistent. People like her leave a lasting impression. Thank you, Trish, for making every visit such a positive experience. HomeSense is fortunate to have you, and our family is grateful for the joy and comfort you bring to your customers. Very Fondly Liz

I ordered a sofa in late December 2025, and it was delivered early April 2026, ......and it…read morearrived without the hardware and legs. I was told the legs were on another moving van and would be located and delivered within a few days, but that never happened. The sofa was shipped from Hong Kong without all of the necessary parts, and the company then refused to send the missing hardware by any method other than boat. After more than a dozen calls to customer service, I was told I would have to wait until September 2026 for the legs to arrive. As a result, I have had to wait an additional five months before I can use the sofa, which is still sitting on the floor without its hardware or legs. Customer service has been completely ineffective in resolving the issue.

My husband and I needed ready made curtains for a few rooms in our new home. We had never really…read moreshopped at West Elm, but at the Pike & Rose location, we found several wonderful items: eucalyptus greenery, worn velvet draperies, small drink table. We made several purchases for draperies, but the colors online were slightly different and that difference did work well with our space. The return process has been outstanding. Whether ordering online or in the store, the process allowed us to return to the store. On many occasions, Marna Eshra, has been very helpful in selecting the best color for draperies. Marna was attentive, gave us space to talk amongst ourselves, and looked for the best alternatives. Marna has great customer service skills and really looks out for the best interest of the customer. One thing that could be improved is for the store to supply fabric samples for the ready made curtains to help reduce the number of returns due to inconsistency between color on the website vs color samples in the store. Thank you. Andrea Hines

Super-cute store with loads of really nice things 'packed' into a space that feels airy and has…read morethat real Med. Sea vibe (I know, because I grew up close to there.) Awesome hand lotions, hair perfumes, Turkish towels (I got a great grape [okay, just plain purple] and pink one that's got teal on the other side -- just beautiful and so soft, ooh, what luxury! Turkish towels are awesome because they take up less space and dry far more quickly than other, thicker towels, so of course they end up both smelling much better and being a lot more hygienic. The orange-scented hand lotion is super-luxe, too, with a rich creamy feel and excellent scent. I got the amber hair perfume. The rugs are really nice, with just enough texture balanced together with softness and sturdiness all together in one piece -- and there is an amazing selection of different colours of these area rugs available, all rolled up nicely in a cool basket. Speaking of baskets, they've got them! The baskets have a real beachy vibe and would be perfect for a day (or a week, or more!) at the beach. They're real sturdy and stand up well on their own, unlike some other floppier baskets or of course beach bags out there .... The baskets are also really good for shopping, too. There are cookbooks, fun cooking and cleaning supplies such as the never-before-seen-by-me ravioli-shaped sponges and oh-so-many things to explore, I wouldn't want to ruin it for you by telling you more! The person I encountered was super-helpful, friendly, nice, accommodating, etc. The parking is plentiful (At least it was when I was there.), and if you like pretty, flowery things, there is also a lovely gardening center just steps away ... plus lots of other stuff nearby to explore in Kensington! Very glad I stopped by! Only thing is: it's closed on Mondays. Oh, and I love the name, too! Olive & Loom -- even the name has texture and beauty in it .... A very 'Yay' type of find, indeed!

While I was about it, I'd pick up some global snacks. It had been years, but yesterday, since I was in the area, I decided pop in. The store focus seems to have shifted to foodie treats. I scooped up a box of British brownie mix made with Cadbury chocolate and a jar of Madras curry powder made with spices from Cape Town. I could have bought many more items, believe me, but I've been on an eating tear lately, so I held back. I was sad to see the home furnishings section much scaled back and more conventional than back in the day. But still, World Market remains a foodie delight!

Their customer service at the store is abysmal & has honestly made me question whether I want to…read morecontinue shopping here regardless of how cute & unique their items are. Last week we went and grabbed some things off of clearance. 2 cushions, only one had the original price tag and the other had the WM price tag. I only noticed the original one & said hey that's not 50% off of the price. The associate showed me the other cushion with now the marked up price tag from WM & said "oh we had to increase the prices for inflation" and never honored the original price tag on the other pillow... then she marked me wrong for yet another item for the price it was marked before the final one. I showed her the other price tag on the other side saying "look you guys marked it as such" for the final price. She gave me attitude and said "oh I need to speak to the manager to see if she can honor it". She gave me the price without my reward coupons but I was so tired of her nonsense I wasn't fighting her over a couple of dollars. I didn't want to make a scene but it's honestly absurd that they can't even honor their OWN MARKED PRICES. They were giving me attitude for their negligence & honestly, shady business practices. Another time, I went once to do a store pickup. It wasn't ready for 3 days & I finally just went to the store because we were in the area & don't live nearby enough to just wait around and I needed the items. The person gave me so much attitude about how I shouldn't come in without notification. It wasn't a holiday or anything, just a random spring day. But I shook it off as oh maybe she's having a bad day. They have cute stuff but for the price & the horrible CS, I can easily see this being the next store to go out of business. "Inflation" is affecting everyone but don't go marking up items & then expecting us not to say anything when you pull things like this. We most likely won't be returning or just order online to avoid this.

My friend and I took the macarons baking class at this location this past weekend. Chef Jess was an…read moreabsolute delight! The class was about 3 1/2 hours long and held at 9am. I appreciated Chef Jess' enthusiasm, kindness, patience and sense of humor--especially so early in the morning. Macarons can be intimidating but she set up our expectations at the beginning of the class and taught us helpful techniques. The macarons turned out decent looking but tasted delicious! The class is a fun opportunity to learn, bond with friends and meet new people (especially if you're teamed up with them - you're put into in groups of 4). You get a 10% in-store discount if you shop the day of your class. I appreciated that Chef Jess gave us a brief store tour; I ended up buying a couple of her recommendations. Can't wait for my next class! All the Sur La Table staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The store is well organized and the available samples are always a fun perk.

They have really beautiful and unique gifts for any kind of man woman or child. The selection in…read morethe store is excellent and everything is absolutely beautiful. The store itself is beautifully laid out. It's expensive, but it feels like you get what you pay for so it's OK. My issue with the store and what cost them two stars is their service. I was walking outside the store today about 3 minutes before it opened and three people were in the store and looked at me and didn't even acknowledge me until I waved at which point they signaled I would have to wait. It really would not have cost them anything to open the door 3 minutes early. Small acts like that make a really big difference and show customers that they matter. If there were three people running the store and everything was already laid out, there was really no reason not to open the door and when I came in, there was no acknowledgment of that either. I might have at least said "I saw you waiting there. Sorry we couldn't open the door earlier. Thanks for waiting " or something like that. Whatever. Not a huge deal, but I'm not crazy about the people who run the place.

My mother recommended G Street Fabrics to me after our local JoAnn closed, and she spoke highly of…read morethe store from her years of shopping here. I wanted to continue supporting it for that reason and for its sense of community, but my experiences have been consistently disappointing. Yesterday was my final straw. I am new to sewing and come in seeking guidance on fabric selection and product education, yet nearly every visit is met with dismissive or rude customer service. The older representatives in particular often do not greet me and respond reluctantly or faintly when I ask for assistance. Help is provided, but it often feels like an inconvenience unless they are in the mood. Yesterday, when I asked a representative at the fabric counter for help understanding a product, she was short-tempered and instead told me they were closing at 5:15 p.m., despite the website listing a 7:30 p.m. closing time. The interaction felt rushed, dismissive, and disrespectful. At checkout, I asked for a bag for several small tools and fabric. The cashier said they were running low, and etc and tossed the bag at me. This type of behavior has happened on multiple visits and consistently dampens the experience. I truly wanted to like this store, but the repeated lack of basic courtesy--especially toward newer customers--has made me unwilling to return. I hope management takes these ongoing customer service issues seriously.
