He made it so easy to plan this event for large group of 18. We had constant communication leading up to the event and on the day off everything was executed exactly as planned. Adam is kind, patient, and honestly his guided succulent workshop was therapeutic as well as fun! He was happy to take questions and just generally meshed really well with our diverse group. Everyone felt at ease and comfortable with him. He gave us plenty of ideas and inspiration for our arrangements. All the supplies he provided were amazing and there was so much variety to choose from. Would highly recommend him for your next team building event. The entire group was happy with everything!

I did the virtual Botanical Tea Tasting with a small group as part of a corporate event, and it was…read morea very enjoyable experience that I recommended to my friends and colleagues! Scheduling and coordinating the event was a breeze -- Adam is incredibly responsive over email and easy to work with. The tea kits arrived packaged BEAUTIFULLY and securely, and were clearly of high quality. I was further impressed with the how Adam lead the tea tasting event over video call -- he was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable! He personalized everyone's individual tea tasting according to what teas they had selected, which greatly impressed us. He walked us through the history and background of the teas we were sampling, and at the end of the session he gave lots of practical advice on how to continue storing our teas for future use. I would absolutely recommend Adam's workshops to anyone looking to plan a (virtual) event -- the combination of how amazing, high-quality, and thoughtful the workshop experience is, along with Adam being wonderful to work with to coordinate the event setup -- makes me give a solid 5 star rating.

I can vouch for how fantastic Glen Park is an unique place where I enjoy going here since it's nearby to where I live and has lots of places to enjoy a bit of everything from a place eat and drink. For decades I always enjoyed hanging around Glen Park because it has a good vibe and a model of an ideal residential neighborhood in San Francisco. I am in this neighborhood all the time. It is also a good place to enjoy a place to hike in the Glen Canyon Park. There is a place in the Glen Park neighborhood where they sell lots of fun stuff from books to celebratory cards along with art and it's also a gift shop. On a November autumn stroll through Chenery street in San Francisco Glen Park neighborhood I enjoy going to Perch because it has lots of interesting items available along with some art on the walls. It feels as you stepped inside a small art gallery which sells jewelry, stationaries, special occasion cards, kitchen items, and some good books about drinks and food. When visiting the Glen Park neighborhood in San Francisco plan a visit and stop at Perch on Chenery street. Go to Glen Park if you are in "search" for novelties and interesting "merch " and it's available inside a store called "Perch" if you haven't gone to Glen Park better do some online " research" Come to one of the best neighborhoods ranked #35 in the world by Time Out ( timeout.com) as it was " written" and enjoy a stroll all four seasons with the neighborhood charm you will be "smitten" go to the Perch which is located on Chenery street and the cross street is called Diamond and it's a gem that is " hidden"

My contractor recommended them but I left pretty unimpressed and went elsewhere. The cabinet price…read morethey quoted me ended up being at least a couple thousand more than the place I ended up choosing and they were not as nice either (the East Star ones were particle board while the other ones were wood, the other ones were soft close which these were not, my actual layout ended up having almost entirely drawers on the base cabinets which wasn't included in the East Star price and so it would have been even higher than the quote they gave me, and so on). I was also looking for countertops and their options left a lot to be desired. They were maybe slightly cheaper than the other place ($40 difference for a standard countertop size of 110" by 26") but way less options and didn't look as nice. Mostly they were just not that helpful and I also didn't love their selections. I left searching for other options pretty quickly. I think one reason to maybe come here is the prices but in my experience even those were higher and the quality and selection were worse. In addition, ideally you want someone who can actually help you figure out a layout and make you feel like you want to shop there and I didn't get that sense. Maybe I just had a bad experience but even though I came in having some idea of what I wanted, I definitely did not get the vibe that this was where I would find it.

The business is enormous, housed in a huge warehouse on Bayshore. I only wish it were double it's size, and that my home were double the square footage so I could buy more! Grand Central Station Antiques hits the sweet spot with quality and price. I can say without a doubt that you will not find a larger selection anywhere in the Bay Area at these prices. Robert, who's been running the business for decades, is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always helpful in locating the perfect item for one's home. I have included pictures of some of my favorite and unusual finds. My friends all joke that I now present as a rich heiress, but the truth is, is that I spent comparatively little in furnishing my apartment with items I found at Grand Central Station Antiques. Purchasing antiques provides quality you just can't find in newly manufactured furniture, and honestly, one won't pay more (or much more) than their modern equivalencies. Antiques have soul, history, and create rich warmth and beauty for your home - priceless! Note that Grand Central Station Antiques will also provide careful, professional delivery for a very reasonable extra charge.

The prices are always fair and the selection is like no other in the Bay Area. I have a particular interest in bookcases and shelves to house a growing book collection. At GCSA I've discovered a number of wonderful European 19th and 20th century classic items to display our collections, as well as beautiful oriental rugs, art pieces and practical household items. You won't be disappointed with the wide selection and the outstanding care which Robert and his team apply to their merchandise. I can also attest to the prompt delivery and exceptional attention given by the delivery team to delicate and heavy items. One extremely large (over 9 ft wide and nearly 12 ft high) walnut Victorian bookcase with glass doors had to be installed as a single piece. It was expertly handled and placed. You won't be disappointed. I've attached a few images of pieces found at GCSA that I treasure.

We first had the absolute pleasure of meeting Christy three years ago, and she remains one of the…read morebest sales specialists we've ever known. Back then, Christy guided us through purchasing our favorite Louis Poulsen pendant light. Right from the start, her patient and kind guidance made it clear just how deeply she cares about her clients. Beyond her wonderful personality, she is an incredible professional who truly understands both the aesthetics and practicality of lighting design. We knew immediately that we had come to the right place and met the right person! Christy is so genuine and caring. Buying from her never feels like just a business transaction--it's a wonderful experience that naturally leads to beautiful, warm conversations. She has truly set our bar sky-high when it comes to customer service. We also want to give a special shoutout to Ricky, who was immensely helpful when we needed an evaluation for a light we had accidentally damaged. He addressed all of our concerns with great care, making the entire resolution process completely seamless. Thank you so much to Christy, Ricky, and the whole team for being such a joy to work with over the years. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Salesperson said they would take our broken washing machine , deliver and install new machine and everything from A-Z would be handled. Delivery was a 3rd party company who insisted they don't do installs and in order to take the old machine , WE would have to disassemble. Our choices were : refuse delivery and return or install ourselves. We did not know what to do , only that dirty laundry was stacking up and we would speak to a manager the following Monday. Husband spoke to Brandon Rattan who apologized and offered $100 for us to get someone to install. Not knowing how much we'd be charged to have it installed, my husband went with it. Plumbers charged $1032.00 to disassemble and install. When I called headquarters, they also apologized profusely but that was the extent. Bait and switch at best. I will NEVER spend a single dollar at Lowe's again. A $900 washing machine ended up costing me $2000. Meanwhile, I bought a washer dryer for an empty unit from Home Depot and they carried both huge machines up 3 flights of stairs with a smile, took out old washer and dryer , installed new set within 35 mins. Lowe's customer service is the absolute worst and I will tell everyone who will listen to spend their dollars at Home Depot.
