“Just had pappy do a custom sea turtle for my mom for a mother’s day gift, he gave a very fair price and it even comes with a led light that changes colors! Very cool guy that’s down to earth. Had a good conversation with him and he’s super friendly with everyone. Hospitality was impeccable genuine man with a welcoming spirit ended up staying even after the lantern was built just to enjoy the owners company. As someone on a whimsical vacation this was definitely a blessing”
“This had to have been the best, easiest and most trustworthy furniture buying experience we have ever had. If you live in the St Augustine area, or are within a reasonable drive...you should stop in. Such a different AND better experience than the Big Box stores...deliver was awesome...literally from first call to delivery it was smooth and easy. Great products and selection too!!!”
“LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL store! I always find something there. Unique items and great books!! Highly recommend. It’s a blessing to have such a wonderful store in St. Augustine.”
“Coastal Traders Indonesian Imports, LLC. Shew, that’s a long name for such a cute store! Located on San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine, this Florida-based store has THE most unique furniture and home decor merch. They have imported handcrafted items from Indonesia, like teakwood furniture, art, lamps, jewelry, and textiles. But they also sell pieces made by local artists. This isn’t stuff mass produced and bought from Temu. This is distinctive, statement art pieces, including items carved by hand and folk art. There’s a lot of beach themed art and mirrors with unusual framing. There’s definitely a coastal aesthetic going on but what coast? Could be the coast of Bali, or St. Augustine or any coast you feel in love with on a vacay. Our interactions with staff have always been pleasant. Prices aren’t cheap but you get a solid product. I plan to shop here anytime I’m in St. Augustine.”
“Such a cool concept. Local products by local people (mostly). You may find a few items from out of state, but most is local. So many different options. We found the perfect gift for our real estate agent. They have art work, soaps, candles, pet items, sauces, and so much more.”
“Pam is an amazing help to any senior who needs extra time to decide. She gladly explained and re-explained options on colors, wood, etc., and she knows the inventory inside out. One of the best shopping experiences ever.”
“We brought home some lamps that transformed our bedroom space into exactly what the vision was for coastal and elegant. The owner was a fantastic resource, ethical and considerate in describing a potential issue with one of the lamps, and then offering to fix it. We will definitely go back! Surprise plus: Cat Adoptions in-house!”
“I was at their retail store in Florida and fell in love with these tiki table lamps and bought 2 of them. They shipped them directly to me in MN. They arrived within a week of ordering them, fast service. In perfect condition and exactly what I ordered. If I could have I would have purchased many more items from them. Their customer service at the retail store were so helpful, not pushy and their shipping department kept me updated on my order. I highly recommend them.”
“Amazing modern furniture and design. Restored pieces coupled with friendly and knowledgeable service. The stock changes frequently so stop by if you love modern furniture, books and other pieces.”
“As a connoisseur of gift shops in every place I go, this is one of the very best! The prices are reasonable and the selection is impressive. Such a fun, quirky, beautiful shop.”
“Whether you're looking for a one of a kind piece of furniture or a unique gift, this is the shop you need. The variety and arrangement of items creates such a special ambience the minute you enter. The shopping experience is almost as fun as finding that special piece!! I can't say enough about Vintage Swag! Stop and see for yourself!!”
“Went in looking for a small dining room table but didn't have any luck. It's Christmas time so some cute Christmas items. Lots of coastal decor. Just a side note...they have cats walking through the store so if you are allergic you might not want to visit.”
“Fantastic find in St. Augustine! Really cool store with tons of teeth and arrowheads and coins, I got a piece of meteorite on a necklace and it's beautiful. Friendly wonderful staff!”
“I received my order and was pleasantly surprised at how well it was packaged protecting my purchase! Even better, my purchase was gift-wrapped - what a delight! Their pieces are so beautiful so don't hesitate to order!”
“The store is great. It’s clean & organized & easy to try all the beds. The salesperson was good to work with & answered all my questions. I was able to pick out the bed that suited my needs, plus some sheets & pillows & now I’m just waiting for delivery!”
“First-rate Irish shop with a variety of clothing, jewelry, and hats. Lots of other things too. Dani was extremely helpful and patient when I was trying on clothing items. Highly recommended stop for your Irish gear!”
“Always a pleasure to visit my favorite store in all of St Augustine. The credit cards were down and the computers… That didn’t stop the girls from letting me get my favorite things. Thank you so much girls for going above and beyond to take care of us that one Friday. Morgan, thank you for finding the lid on my kitty cat jar and keeping it for me the next day, since I had left it that day. I appreciate you ladies so much.”
“Moved to St. Augustine a couple months ago and went shopping on San Marco Ave. Stopped in The Painted Lady and Ms. Sharon, was so inviting and helpful. Shw showed me a couple things that I will be back to purchase for my mom's birthday, that I never would have noticed without her assistance. Sharon was super friendly with a great personality:)”
“Did a free wine tasting and the gentleman there today that was dressed as a pirate was absolutely AMAZING! I feel so bad I didn't grab his name but he was so animated, funny, and mentioned he also does some voice acting work (so cool!). I am on my bachelorette and he made it such a fun time! One of my bridesmaids even went back so she could buy a bottle of wine! 10/10 recommend. I wish we had brought more cash to give him a great tip!”
“This is a great place. They have an assortment of all sorts of odds and ends especially if you're a hobbyist. Unfortunately they didn't have the fabric we were looking for but gave us recommendations where to look.”
“Visiting from out of state. It was what one would expect from a Ross Dress for Less. A little cleaner and more organized than others I have been to. Friendly and helpful service from employees. Great beach selections!”
“This place is INCREDIBLE!!! The shop itself is lovely, with tons of options! There was also a large and well stocked discount rack with clothing and a few shoes! The real point of this review is to share how wonderful the staff is here! Not only were they incredibly sweet, but they also helped us immensely when a member of our group lost an earring. One of the ladies even got on the ground to help us look! AND SHE FOUND IT!!! We bought some chocolates later to bring to her as a thank you, but they were already closed. So I am leaving this review as a massive THANK YOU!!! Not only for helping us track down the lost accessory, but also for being incredibly lovely!”
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.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
