You drop them off one day and pick them up the next. It's a pleasure to have sharp knives. And in a truly efficient manner, all the questions I had were answered on a prerecorded message on the phone. But that's just a sliver of what they have to offer. Many kitchen utensils, large and small, knives, pots, pans, olive oils adorn the walls and the store itself. The prices are competive to other high end suppliers and you can look, feel and even try items before you buy them. While just browsing, I asked for some advise, warning them that I wasn't buying and friendly, on point advise was forthcoming. Highly recommend! And remember, shop local.

From Aprons to cast iron cleaners, pots, pans, knives and specialty oils, premium products, etc. This is my second time here. I've been trying to shop more locally than online. I had placed an order from the big online store that I feel is taking over and running people out of business with their sometimes subpar items. Sure, they are convenient, but I'm all about helping the local businesses. I canceled my items once I walked into this store and found the cast iron soap, cast iron brush, melting dome and bacon press I had ordered, all with similar prices, except that I was able to see and touch the items. The store clerks have so far, been helpful. Pay a visit if ever in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Walking into ikea is like a second chance of life, I get to play different roles out in my head as…read morei travel across different rooms but also travel across different worlds. One minute I'm an arguing husband complaining about dinner not being made in time, and yelling at the kids for not taking out the trash again. But then i close eyes, and I open them again. and in front is a beautiful inground pool and as i gracefully wash my plates taking in the soothing and comfortable life i've built myself. This is my i made it moment. I was sad that I had to leave this world behind as i continue to walk around the store. I followed the arrows and before me i was surrounded by random assortments of furniture types. A shelf full of wooden chairs, beds that make you question if you really do get good sleep at night, and built out bathrooms with a toilet sink and mirror (only the mirror works). It was so good it reminded me of when she used to stay over my place and leave behind kind messages through the fog of the mirror as she bids me farewell. After more than a decade of not seeing it, I couldn't believe the sight in front of me as the pile of colorful ballpit looked right back at me, waiting for my return. but the place was closed and i was really bummed out. I pass through the children's section filled with nostalgic toy trains and plushes, making me wonder when my time will arrive for me to parent one of my own. If only she came back. After the maze of life that i survived, i made it to the bottom of the store near checkout. Shit felt like a warehouse, kinda like how i used to work at amazon and wondered if this is all life had to offer. after being convinced to buy some loofahs, i sneak past checkout and craved urgently a nice cup of that nostalgic vanilla frozen yogurt i once enjoyed as a child. They were out of strawberry and basically everything but the vanilla frozen yogurt cup (yup they were out of cones too). After finally receiving it I was astounded by the insanely basic taste this was literally straight from burger king. Will I never have that same experience again? Will sysco follow me wherever I go? Chipotle Chicken 5.9/10 - I was served my plates by a beautiful black woman, I wonder if she'd write messages on the mirror too. The chicken looked pretty decent at first glance, the texture? it was surprisingly tender, the chicken was shredded way easier than i expected, lowkey suspicious. The rice was bland, the beans were so basic no different than a can of them. and the plantains were good just not my thing personally. The sauce was heavy on spices, but the flavor of chicken itself wasn't all there, which made me wonder if it really is chicken. taste like chicken, looks like chicken, smells like chicken, but does sysco really sell chickens? Pasta with marinara sauce 2.6/10 - A child could've made a better pasta with sauce than this. god damn I did not think sauce could be so much like straight water, and the pasta was like wet cardboard, no offense to the beautiful woman in the back i'm more than sure she didn't make this slop, her graceful hands would never come near such an abomination of life. If i left this outside for some animals to eat, the only thing gone would be the cardboard sheet holding it. This level of torture is beyond the morals of humanity, I can only imagine and fear the evil figure behind this weapon of mass destruction. Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes 6.4/10 - This ikea classic was a must grab for a taster of the finer things such as myself. They were aight, got the job done, once i felt full i had no desire to eat even as much as a crumb. the meatballs themselves kinda tasted like meat. could've fooled me, and the sauce on top gave it a starchy layer of moistness. the mash potatoes, straight from one of those packets, it was as soft as baby food, and i didn't know how to feel about that, it did leave a cozy feeling inside of me. The lingen berry sauce was a new one for me, it was your run of the mill sweet jam that brought an interesting twist to the meatballs. DO NOT mix this with the mash potatoes, i will not be making that mistake again. The veggies were weirdly memorable, like the ones you never ate from your school lunch (yes ALL of us) Vanilla Frozen yogurt 6.1/10 - One thing I always loved about ikea was finally leaving and getting some ice cream, and eating it on the cone was really an experience everyone should get to have at least once in their life. That was before big brother sysco came to town and took one of the only things in this world that i loved, other than her... I can't do this right now sorry Butter Cookie 4.9/10 - Salty. too salty.

I would have never guessed that looking [desperately] for a backsplash would have led me to write…read morethis review for Floor & Decor, but, wow, what an amazing experience I had. I was treated like a friend and like I really mattered by every employee in the store. I had been searching for months for the perfect backsplash tile having sifted through online layouts and other big box stores merchandise. When I came across F&D's website, I ordered samples of a few options. The samples I had mail-ordered were just not right for my needs. So I returned my samples to Elizabeth's store. I was very impressed and immediately relieved(!) when I saw the amount of stock they had to consider. I was extremely grateful when I found the "clearance" section as well, realizing I could get a high quality tile for the price I could afford! After my first trip to the store, I narrowed down the two tiles I would consider: a marble tile and a porcelain tile. I first sat down in front of the clearance marble tile (for 2 hours, haha!) making sure I chose two hundred of the proper toned tiles that would be right for my kitchen. I had three employees stop by and ask to assist me and they were all very kind. Jean gave me an even better price on the clearance tiles which meant the world to me. Another employee, a woman, gave me great advice on featuring my kitchen counter which helped me pick my favorite of the two tiles (thank you!). She also gave me wonderful advice on sealing my tiles. Once I finished choosing my tiles, I checked out the grout paper samples in the design section. There was a lovely woman (Brazilian woman) who was very kind the first day I was at the store. She took the time to hand me a grout sample mechanism which helped me envision grout colors next to my tile and that was while she was multi-tasking and assisting another customer! I then pushed my cart over to the grout section where I milled about confused for maybe 30 seconds when Elmer swept in and saved me. Elmer was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and a real gem of a person. He guided me towards the grout I needed. He even took the time to look at my tile and my countertop in a photo. He weighed in on the color of grout. He then guided me towards spacers. He showed me what size options were available and helped me choose what was best for me. He then showed me what kind of tool I needed and immediately took me to the mortar. He helped me choose what was cost-effective and efficient for my needs. He helped me push my cart to the checkout, waited with me while purchasing everything and pushed my heavy cart out to my car. He helped me load my car and I was incredibly grateful for the extraordinarily compassionate customer service received. I had to write this review because I felt taken care of when I otherwise would have been LOST and assisted in ways I could have never imagined. I left the store not only excited for my new backsplash which has taken me months to choose, but also high on humanity, an exceedingly rare event when you live in the greater New York City/New Jersey area. The staff in this store are exceptional humans, lovely to the core and the 90s throwback music played was a trip and made sitting with those tiles far more fun! Thank you!!!!!

My project is in SI NY; only the Florida and North Carolina stores had the discontinued floor. I received different answers between the 3 locations. Ultimately, I HAD to purchase in order to finish my project although what 2 reps from 2 different locations told me. I had to pay over $300 for shipping!!!!! If these items are discontinued, why aren't they on sale? Why isn't shipping cheaper? Why can't I do a store to store transfer? Why isn't the information the same across the stores? Floors that would have cost me $300 came out to almost $700!
