“This place is simultaneously stunning and overwhelming. The variety of beautiful tile is impressive—from traditional Puebla pieces to modern cement designs. Even the house numbers are works of art. We found ourselves gawking at the pottery, sinks, and everything else on display. Tiles range from $3 and up. Definitely worth stopping in!”

“We have bought several pieces from Chris and Kobe over the past few years, and we have always been more than happy. The chairs and loveseats are extremely comfortable, as well as being elegant in appearance and design. Every piece that we bought has been brought up to like-new appearance, using authentic finishing materials. We have, also, brought in pieces that we found elsewhere, and had Chris refinish and repair minor damage, and the results exceeded our expectations. Chris is also very knowledgeable of mid-century modern furniture designers, as well as suppliers of replacement parts (such as chair springs). Despite his extensive knowledge, Chris is very approachable and not the least bit condescending. If we had a complaint, it would only be that we are always tempted to buy more exquisite pieces of furniture, when ever we visit the warehouse.”

“Mike is a fantastic teacher! Took the beginner class tonight and I learned a ton of techniques that I wouldn't have learned from youtube videos. He focuses a lot on building a good foundation and good habits so you can have a better practice as you learn and start playing songs. The class flow was fun and I barely felt the 2 hours pass. I would definitely recommend attending a few classes. There's so much to learn and absorb from the simplest techniques.”

“My wife and I have been coming by since the '80s. We never lived locally, but between the Gardener and Ocean View Dinner many of our let's get away days were made, Heck our kids grew up coming here and still do. We miss the spot that used to be out in the country dearly.”

“As a stager, I’m constantly sourcing new pieces for my inventory, and Bay Home has become an invaluable resource. Whether I need a single statement piece the same day or enough furnishings for an entire condo delivered the next day, they consistently come through. The owner and their friendly staff even help with general space planning when asked. The selection, convenience, and service are exceptional. It’s one of those places you almost want to keep secret, but it’s too good not to share.”
2236 San Pablo Avenue, Berkeley CA 94702
“This place is totally hit or miss so you have to visit regularly. It’s a true outlet. You find overruns, items that have been returned but are undamaged, and some items are damaged, but the staff will point out the damage to you. The people who work here are super lovely. The manager in particular is always really friendly and helpful. And sometimes I find things that absolutely delight me and are anywhere from 50% off to 75% off.”

“Alexis, Kato, and Helene made this experience for us! We ended up walking in and dropping $$$ on a whole new set up. Alexis kept it breezy and fun when we were in the depths of retail fear. I really enjoyed our shopping!”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
