While Brett, the owner, has beautiful things to sell, so do many other stores. What has made me a loyal customer, and what sets this shop apart from others, is the integrity with which Brett does business. Whether it's a repair of a piece of high-value jewelry, or a purchase, I can trust Brett's expertise, professionalism & fair pricing. Brett's customer service is amazing - he even delivered a necklace my daughter bought from him to a restaurant, where we were having a family dinner celebration, so that my daughter, who was returning to her home in Dallas the next morning, could take it with her. He was modifying its length for her and it wasn't quite ready by closing time. Who does that? Brett! I've been delighted to recommend Needful Things and More to my friends!

Don't let how tiny the shop is fool you, you could spend a good amount of time looking through all the jewelry. I'd highly recommend stopping by this shop if you're looking for a unique piece of jewelry. It was easy to park right out front. The owner is very kind about asking if you want to look at anything or have him open the glass. The front section is all jewelry and the back is mostly home decor and home goods.

This place is fine if you don't have to do anything but buy something and ring yourself out or need…read moresomething minor from someone, but if you need anything significant that takes any sort of effort, you might as well just leave and go somewhere else. My gut reaction is that their store leadership is terrible, but the rest of the Home Depots in the Richmond area are just as bad (and some are worse). I've come in here looking for one of the last remaining items in the store several times only to walk out empty-handed because they can't find their own products. Once they get below 5 of anything remaining in the store, they won't have a clue where to find any of them, so you might as well just go to Lowe's or to Ace Hardware. When this happened again recently, I went to Ace Hardware and found what I was looking for with no issues (ironically only two of what I was looking for in that store, and it wasn't a problem at all). And let me tell you, expecting them to deliver large orders is about as hopeless as it gets because they will mess it up, lose it, or damage whatever it is. I've had no less than four deliveries over the past 5 years that have arrived late, not arrived and had to reorder, and/or has arrived damaged. It's clear that their delivery guys just don't care enough to do their job properly. I would say they don't get paid enough to care, but for the results they are providing, they're getting paid way too too much. One moderately large order last year was delivered to a random home 10 miles away for some reason, and that homeowner was angry because they just dropped it and blocked off the driveway (that's what I call two birds with one stone). When I finally got my order, half of the lumber was damaged, and I received NONE of my 10-sheet plywood purchase. They pinned it on the Intown store (probably likely, but it was still purchased through this store), and they transferred me to them. They found my plywood, but it was only half of the order and couldn't find the rest. One of the sheets I did get was damaged, so here we go again. At some point while trying to clear up the issue, the store rep told that the issue was my mistake because I didn't actually order all of the items correctly (despite doing it in the store, and despite me looking at a printed copy of my invoice with the correct items... that apparently she couldn't find). She told me I had to place another order that wouldn't arrive for another two weeks. I placed the order and reminded her that I wasn't happy to AGAIN have to deal with another of their mistakes. In doing so I said "It's complete bulls - - t that y'all can't get your stuff together and I always have to jump through hoops to make it right." She cancelled my order and said she didn't have to fill my order because I used vulgarities, and she hung up on me. I've had whole-order deliveries cancelled without notifying me too. They'll just cancel an order, make no effort to call, and then they say they called and left a voicemail (despite that being 100% "fabricated truth"). I ordered a dog kennel a few years back, and it never made it to me. Over a month after ordering the item, I had to disprove blatant lies the store told an online rep, and once he realized I was telling the truth, he gave me a full refund. A month after that, a 300 lb box 6ft by 3ft was blocking my driveway. Inside the mangled box was the destroyed dog kennel that "never existed." Today they delivered a make-up order of one of their mysteriously-cancelled deliveries (the small items were all delivered last week, but the large items, the six 10-ft-long items I paid $80 to have delivered, they were cancelled, and I had to place another order for those), and the guy today never made any attempt to come down my driveway to deliver the items (10-ft metal drip edge/flashing). He simply propped the item up on my address sign beside the road and left. I have a 500 ft driveway that is plenty wide enough for large trucks (we have them here all the time), and we have a very large turn-around area for trucks by our house, but sometimes the driver will walk down the driveway to check it out. Not this guy today! It was drizzling, so I watched him pull the flashing out of the truck (and bend it all to hell because he didn't know how to lift it), and just leave it beside the road. This store is terrible, and the Intown store is terrible. Maybe the rest in this area are fine, but if you need them to anything more than just exist, go somewhere else.

He said it only take 30 seconds to shake. Lie. I watched him but figured I'd just get a managers opinion. He followed me to customer service and stared at me in an intimidation move. So I left. Figured I'd just leave a review. This associate was 50-60 with long grey hair and a baseball cap. Avoid.

While I was in the area today, I stopped into this paint store hoping to get ideas for my kitchen,…read morewhich I am thinking about re-doing. The store is on a weird tiny side street at Parham and Broad, tucked into an overlooked shopping center... at first I thought it could be a hardware store... but then I saw it was all focused on painting. The layout of the store seems very much like it's focused on contractors, though I was helped by the manager Glen Balke and he said he has lots of retail customers too. The store itself has a small front area for shopping, and then the rest looks like its storage... As the name implies, the only paint they sell is Porter. So in terms of selection, it's not the same as going to Lowes and browsing a bunch of collections. Porter does have a nice display of color choices, and the manager proactively gave me a whole book of samples to take home- which is pretty much a guaranteed way to ensure I end up going back to buy, since I'll be using those paint samples to match up fabrics I'm buying etc. Aside from color choices, they also have tons of painting supplies like brushes and ladders, etc. so handymen and contractors do probably go here to stock up... While I didnt ask for too many details about the different paint types (seems premature since I am not even sure I want to redo the kitchen just yet, and I still have to paint my bedroom) it looked like you would need a sales associate to walk you through the store and explain everything to you- they have a lot of choices and sell a lot of different types of paint that I have no idea what the difference is to regular paint- it's not really that user friendly to shop on your own. But, a sign over the counter listed the promises the store makes to its customers and #1 was that you will be greeted promptly and have a great service experience, which I did. I usually don't like to have help when I shop, but I would definitely come back and let them guide me through buying paint and supplies...

Lowes as a corporation does its best to be the first place you think of for hardware, fixtures,…read morepaint, lumber, garden supplies, appliances, tools.... whatever you need from a hardware store. It is a real shame that the local execution doesn't match the marketing hype. We needed a new clothes dryer and were prepared to buy one. We'd even done our homework and knew what we wanted. So all anyone needed to do is show up and take our money. With no one in the appliance area (or anywhere nearby) we pushed the button at the desk.... "special assistance is needed at the appliance desk." We waited. The announcement repeated three times as the lighted button blinked off and on. After the third repeat, the button went dark, apparently signalling it was time to give up. With no help in sight I pushed the button again. And we cycled through the announcements again. And then again. No one, not even a manager if there was no available staff, cared enough to come take hundreds of dollars from me in the space of maybe 20 minutes. We walked out and went to another business. Lowes lost a sizable easy sale. Another couple was there at Lowes at the same time, looking at refrigerators. They kept hovering near us as we all waited for anyone to make an appearance. I assume they left soon after we did. Lowes has a lot of products and I know they make a lot of money. The stores are huge. So they need to consider diverting a few of those marketing dollars and use them to hire more people.
