They are always very snobby and weird in this store, no matter what you buy. A couple nights ago I was about to purchase a $100 vase when I asked if I could place it against their white wall to make sure it would look good against my white wall at home. This would have involved my walking the vase over to an empty shelf a few feet from the register and setting it down there for a few seconds. I had been in the store about five minutes at that point, and it was 5:50, 10 minutes until closing time. The saleswoman said, "It's the end of our day and we're really tired. Just buy the vase or come back another time." I said, "You know, I'm tired too [thinking, tired of this kind of service], and you're right, there just isn't enough time to do this now." I thanked her and left -- NEVER to return!

They carry furniture straight out of the magazine pages: Unique, stylish, European, beautiful.
PROS: Unique furniture and style
