“As an Architectural Designer, I have grown tired at the same repeated landscape design that plagues most projects, large or small, in and around the Bay Area. It appears as though a number of landscape offices share the same "bag of tricks" (Although as a side note, I feel Architects do the same thing). But that's where Crooked Nest separates themselves from the rest of the pack. We had Crooked Nest design a landscape and planting plan for a mid-rise building in downtown SF. They completely surpassed my expectations. I never get tired of looking at their design. They used thoughtful, water-sensitive plants that flourish in their respective locations. Folks walking by on the street take notice as well. I highly recommend Crooked Nest and look forward to collaborating with them on future projects.”
“This place sells beautiful handcrafted pottery that's made on site. The designs range from classic farmhouse shapes to edgy modern stuff. It was a pretty cool experience 'cause we got to meet Jered himself and take a tour of the workshop. I ended up buying some mugs with colorful glaze that I really like.”
“This place is magic. It really is.
Realtors, flippers, contractors, and wealthy homeowners all shop here for a reason. They know, this is the good stuff.”
“We are in the San Francisco Bay Area visiting from Singapore. We happened to find this rather beautiful store purely by chance. What a delight: Beautiful items, well displayed and a wonderful friendly and informative woman behind the counter. Items were very reasonably priced and the collection on display was remarkable”
“Love this Ikea! Especially I love the restaurant. The menu changes overtime which is great & the prices are reasonable for families with young kids. My son doesn’t like fish but he loves IKEA’s lemon garlic cod, which tastes very delicious. BTW, they only offer this garlic cod on the weekends. Recommended coming here for quick dinner, nice views with big windows, & super clean.”
“I love Ross. I have to mentally prepare to search... and I can usually find at least one outfit with shoes to match (if I'm flexible) and a purse at the last minute for an event or job interview!”
“Katie is always so helpful friendly and welcoming whenever I come into this location (which is often because I do custom apparel) she will literally drop a task to help, her patience is impeccable and she’s always super quick on her feet. I don’t do reviews often but her customer service is AWESOME. She’s made my shoppping experience way less stressful on a super stressful day. 5 stars for Katie. ✨”
“I love this place!! And the staff here is chef’s kiss. Not only is everyone so welcoming and friendly, their outfits and personalities are amazing they make shopping fun and innovative for me. Everyone is confortable answering any questions I have or checking if items are in stock or even questions about the app. The staff is always doing something and keeping busy but they always check in on me and not in a way that’s overbearing. The store stays clean and organized even with the small space. This is why I will keep returning!! They make me want to work there lol! Thank you for your customer service and make me always feel you g and excited to shop Urban!!”

“I picked up two lovely ribbed glass table lamps here last past their closing time and the staff was very kind in helping me get my items. Everyone in the store was very warm and welcoming and the store is beautiful! Great selection of items, will definitely be coming back.”
“My husband and I stopped by on April 23rd. I explained to the girls that I had rushed into buying a sofa in the past and now I hate it. They had a floor sample of the sofa I keep eyeing online and adding to my cart. I need to sit in a sofa before purchasing and the colors do look different in person. They were very accommodating and answered all my questions. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. They never pressured us into a purchase. Offered us some samples to take and also helped answer design advice we had about the fabrics and color choices. We haven't made up our minds yet. But will definitely be back!”
