The staff is super helpful and it's the kind of place that is a real treat to stroll around and think about the histories attached with each item you encounter. You never know what treasure you're going to find and there's hardly a chance you'll leave without finding something to make your home a little more lovely.

We stopped in here on our walk around the Garden District. Clean, well organized, and Chad was…read moresuper helpful and pleasant.

This is an update to my previous review. I was contacted by someone from Consign Consign who was…read moreable to get my chandelier back from the place where it was donated, so I can pick it up tomorrow. I really appreciate that they were able to do this for me as I understand that finding it was not an easy task. I also understand that this is "standard practice" but I still feel that it would not be too difficult to notify people when their items are about to be donated so that they can come pick them up. In this day and age of automated messaging systems that doesn't seem like it would be a big ask.

They carry a bunch of local artists/crafters and have a great selection of souveniers/NOLA themed gifts. The folks who work in the shop are always friendly and helpful. I was here a couple of months ago to pick up MG themed signs so my Mom could have a virtual parade in her front yard for Yardi Gras. I had ordered online so pickup was easy. Staff was wearing masks; customers were required to wear masks too. Hand sanitizer was available. Great experience all the way around.

The business owner, presumably, was stationed at the front of the store. The gentleman proceeded to stare us down for the entire time we shopped in the store, so much so that both my partner and I were made to feel quite unwelcome. I thanked him before we left and he just continued to stare. We did not appreciate it.

Now that I am approximately 2, 553 miles away, back in Portland, Oregon, it is no longer convenient. Ah, to hell with convenient, it is not event possible. I even created an on-line account so I could shop the on-line store. I didn't even find shoes. NO SHOES!?! What is the world coming to? So eff that. I'm not even going to look at your stupid online business if you don't have shoes. The shoes you have in your brick and mortar stores are super cute. Can you tell how distraught I am? I'll have a cup of tea, do some yoga, maybe some breathing exercises, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Meanwhile, I'm still pining for those lovely orange platforms. I will always love you orange platform shoes that got away.

You know the type: attitude included, answers optional. The first visit, I made the dangerous mistake of asking how much it costs to change guitar strings on my son's guitar. Guy with Hair responded with maximum sass and zero information. No quote, no help, just vibes. I was trying to support a local business, but Guitar Center ended up getting my money because they are shockingly willing to answer basic questions. Second visit, I wisely stayed at the coffee shop next door to avoid being scoffed at again. Unfortunately, my 13-year-old daughter wasn't as lucky. She went in to spend her birthday money and left shortly after because Guy with Hair followed her around the store like she was planning an elaborate heist. She's 13. Her crime was wanting to shop. She came out and said he was creepy and rude, so we left. Birthday money unspent, lesson learned. Weird behavior. Weird store. Weird guy
