The staff there were fairly friendly and helpful. I've bought a variety of things, including plates, soaps, silverware. Pretty much all of the purchases were worth the price. As a bit of an aside, it seems like Belmont Center is being hollowed out of local businesses. I just hope they're not replaced by soulless chain gangs, but I'm not optimistic.

Don't get your serrated knife sharpened here (done by local root, I think)…read more My knife handle got scratched by then, it's not that sharp and the metal was buffed so hard, it looks like it has a groove on either side. Now the knife leaves interesting grooved marks on what is cut, too. I called to complain, the staffer got a bit defensive, and I then heard the Death Knell to my future business, "You can just bring it back...". NO!!! I cannot JUST stop my life and deal with parking to help them fix their bad job! When I hear "you can *just* come back..." so they can fix their mistake, they've lost me. Businesses: you take my money for a repair, you JUST get one chance to do it right!

This is a great shop to find unique gifts and they do gift-wrapping which is a plus. I find the salespeople to be friendly and eager to assist. I bought myself a Languiole cheese knife that I love. It was a nice addition to the charcuterie board I recently put together. I am returning to the store to buy two more....another for myself and the other one as a Christmas stocking stuffer. Never too early to start one's Christmas shopping, imo. If you're in the area, do check out this shop; I think you will be glad that you did.

The box arrived today and the vase is perfect; must have very high standards because there is no sign this is a second!! Thank you Simon Pearce and the kind woman who helped me!
