We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!

I mainly wore the necklace, and after a while it looked dirty. I went to a jewlery shop to get it cleaned. It turns out it was Not solid gold. Don't buy any jewelry here!

Definitely greeted kindly however when it comes to getting answers about products and getting called back when they get items back like the gloves - I receive no call. I stopped in multiple times and would check in and just remind them to call me. Of course, another time I stop in they have them but nobody called. Same thing nobody called me back about some questions I had on fabric and some products. So sadly, I've dropped them down from 5 to 3 stars because if you can't get information, especially when you're willing to pay a pretty penny, then that send a message that they don't stand behind their product or they don't really believe in their customer service. I have waited six months and had similar experiences so this isn't a one off. I'll try again down the line and hope things will have improved. I've tried to ask for the owner but she's not there. I wanted to give the feedback directly but seems like I'm out of block as well. I hope this helps. I look forward to updating this review in time.

Walked to the cafe on Saturday morning while staying at the Inn about 200 ft away. It took a bit of time to work through the line but after ordering and sitting in the zen garden, my English muffin sandwich and coffee was delivered with a warm smile. The highlight was the fresh house made English muffin and habanero apricot jam. The jam was so good I'm still thinking about it. Loved our experience so much we came back the following morning. Ordered the breakfast sandwich this time around and it was just as good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Pricing is all reasonable considering the freshness and quality of the food. So glad to have discovered this gem and will most definitely be back when in or driving through the area.

Okay, so I might be a little bias because I found a keychain with my name on it (which almost NEVER happens. Melanie and Melinda are the lucky ones). As a matter of fact, when I told the cashier that I was excited about the rare find, he walked away from me to bring me back the bike plate with my name on it. I squealed in excitement and he asked, "Would you like the bike plate too?" This tells me he wasn't selling me the product, he wanted to SHOW me another product with my namesake. Positive customer experience, the staff knows their products and store, and UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara) clothes. I checked every souvenir shop from top (away from the beach) of State Street down to 'Only in Santa Barbara' (towards the beach) searching for a Santa Barbara ornament that best represented my vacation. I found it here. Basically, if you want a Santa Barbara souvenir, find it here.
