There are lots of cute gift shops in SF, and last week with the day off I hit up like five in a…read morerow. On the hunt for unique gifts this place is like a gold mine. So many cool items that I have not seen anywhere else. And at reasonable prices no less. It is a lovely, curated space. After finding something small that I was sure would bring the recipient joy, I went to pay. The shopkeeper (shop owner?!) was so kind and made the extra effort to package my small gift with the utmost of care and attention to detail. Absolutely a delight, I am already looking forward to returning one day.

He was also very knowledgeable about his computer programs that could show the way in which a console would fit with the sofa I had picked. I am AS ALWAYS impressed by Joybird.

The video on the listing is deceptive marketing it looked as if the feet and the head area moved…read moreindependently of one another. And smoothly. And they don't they move together and not smoothly, and my body cannot do that after neurosurgery. Based on what my husband and I saw it did look like they worked independently, and it said nothing in the description about that so we trusted what we saw.  I understand it costs money to have someone pick up the chair for a return, however this seems highly unfair when the listing made it seem smoother as well as things working independently when reclining each and they don't - they recline at the same time. This feels like terrible marketing and customer service to not make it right or attempt to. Do not buy this product if you want a smooth recline and are looking for the leg and head recline to be independent of one another. It's not comfortable. The only thing it's got going for it is it's beautiful. I wish I would have never bought this because now my only option is returning with a 50% restocking fee. I purchased this chair with GoFundMe money so this is no small price tag for me and it seems like terrible customer service and marketing to not make this right.

Had a terrible experience with the employees in this store. They are rude, unprofessional, arrogant…read moreand made me and my three friends feel unsafe and unwelcome. We were having a great day shopping around and chatting when one employee came up to our group and made a sarcastic comment. My friends brushed him off and I didn't hear so he made sure to come up behind me and an inch away from my face loudly repeat it. I felt extremely unsafe with how he entered my personal space when I was distracted and my guard was down- I will never return to this store and urge other women to do the same.

I will be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding this store. On…read moreChristmas Eve, the owner denied me and my service animal entry, citing "too many bags and an aggressive dog." I had two shopping bags and my service animal, who has never exhibited any aggression. I understand that the store may have limited space. Had the owner respectfully asked me to leave my bags behind the counter or wait to enter due to crowding, I would have been happy to comply. Especially since I noticed another dog in the store. Instead, he dismissed me in a confrontational manner without offering any reasonable alternatives. Before leaving, I informed the employee that my dog is a service animal and that it is illegal to deny entry to customers with service animals. In response, he became defensive and raised his voice. As I exited the store, I overheard him telling other customers--who had witnessed the incident--that my dog was aggressive. This claim is completely false. My service animal has accompanied me for nearly a decade and has never once displayed aggression. It appears the owner discriminated against my service animal based on his perceived breed, as he is a pit mix. Such behavior is both unacceptable and unlawful, and I intend to hold this store accountable for this disgusting incident.

post.script. (not to be confused with the now closed Postscript Coffee in Jackson Square -…read morecurrently rebranded as Loveski) is a woman-owned gift shop in the Fillmore District. This cute and curated shop was was established in 2019 and mainly focuses on San Francisco-themed items and sells unique tote bags, pins, stationery, greeting cards, mini print vending machines, original artwork, home goods (e.g. scented candles), accessories, etc. This small shop carries items from 100+ brands and independent artists. This shop was quite an unexpected find and it really reminded me of some gift shops in Los Angeles that rent shelf space to independent artists and creators to showcase their work. Overall this is a great gift shop to stop by for anyone who's looking for a one-of-a-kind gift. P.S. - No designated parking lot for the shop & metered street parking or paid parking lots (California/Steiner Lot) only.

I'm leaving this review, because I just found out from my friend Chris, at California Sofa in…read moreMarin....that my last couple of sofas were made by Brian at Furniture Envy! Long story, but Chris closed his Marin store and had Brian build the last several sofas. All I can say is that the craftsmanship is ridiculously good. For LESS than the price that I would pay, for a 10 foot long, elegant contemporary sofa from Restoration Hardware, Brian exactly matched the design, but gave me the custom dimensions I needed. Oh, one more thing. If I would've ordered it from Restoration Hardware, I would've gotten a sofa that was "Made in China". Furniture Envy is made right here in the Bay Area. I don't know how they do it and make any money with their more than affordable prices and exceptional quality. Looking forward to transferring the long relationship I had at California Sofa to Furniture Envy.

Was recommended to Furniture Envy by a friend who absolutely loved them. This was after looking…read morearound and feeling lost and disillusioned about finding something for our space.

There were so many cool options and Dan is a pro at helping to focus on what would work and making suggestions on home decor ideas...best experience & so easy! Big bonus that you can buy piece & have it delivered that very same week. Patience may be a virtue but it is NOT one of mine - much more of an immediate gratification kinda' gal!

I really could just move into the awesome store...perfect Russian Hill location & a groovy garden. If you have a petite place but want BIG style...this is the spot & Dan is your man!

Overall, interesting experience and I suggest you guys checking this hole-in-the-wall furniture shop!
