“This store is very nicely set up and has great quality items for your home.. I would have gave the store 5 stars but they do not have a separate customer service line for returns and questions, you will have to wait on a long line that wraps around twice to get to the register after already waiting on the same very long line to make the purchase.. I'm returning my item because it did not come with all the items that was to be included in the box so I have to suffer on this long line once again.”

“We came back from three weeks of vacation to find our house flooded from a broken pipe, which was pouring water from an upper floor over everything on the first floor and basement and had been for a long time. Dave came over same day and took eleven rugs to the ICU. They just came back today and Dave brought them back from the brink of death; even silk rugs that had bled, he washed the bleed out. Our 11x18 antique looks brand new (see below). Dave is the nicest guy, he helped roll the new rugs out in our new house. I'm so glad he helped rescue us from that disaster!”

“Anime Zakka is a nice store located near the end of Newbury Street, close to Uniqlo and Muji. It is below ground, leading you into a place to be immersed by anime and Japanese pop culture. I enjoyed browsing and wandering around the store, as there were many products I’ve never heard of or seen. I found Tomica cars, a product I’ve never seen in Boston before but know many car collectors may enjoy looking at. I also found many stuffed animals I never knew existed for products I like, such as Miffy. The only downside is the products I did know were overpriced. I am a big fan of collecting lottery items, and they were nearly double the price at the store compared to what I could buy it for at online retailers.”

“What a fabulous giftshop. I signed up for a class that was held in the back of the store. The class was to make a hand scorched cheese tray. Before class I had the chance to walk around the store and look at all the fabulous gifts. Staff was super nice and helpful when I had questions. They offer great hands on class all year...and a wide selection of cute gifts. I look forward to taking another class and buying gifts there...”

“We had a fantastic experience with Gaya from Divine Design. Our general contractor, Core Group, introduced us to Gaya once they learned of the ideas we had for built-ins in our relatively small one bedroom condo. Gaya activity listened to our vision and far exceeded our expectations on the design. Not only did she design cabinets with vast amounts of storage but she also introduced us to incredible wall paper that is actually art. We are incredibly happy with the outcome and grateful to Gaya and the team from the Core Group who did an outstanding job.”

“I had an incredibly friendly and savvy design consultant. Hannah was very patient with my questions and uninformed knowledge of the quality and selection of furniture. I am 80 and a widower who decided to buy a new couch and chairs for the house. With Hannah great design knowledge and eye I made a selection and brought my daughter to the showroom for final opinion. My daughter was totally impressed with the choice of style and fabric. Hannah made me look good which is to say she honored my selection and gave me some helpful advice. I highly recommend her and the furniture is very well made without being overly expensive.”

“Boston Wood is an absolute pleasure to work with. They are genuinely good people — honest, thoughtful, and incredibly skilled. I’ve had four different custom pieces built by them, each one unique, beautifully designed, and impeccably made. What really sets them apart is the care they put into every detail: precise measurements, proportions, handle choices, stain color, and overall feel. They think deeply about how a piece will actually live in a space. They have strong design opinions and great taste, but they offer them in a way that’s collaborative, kind, and respectful. They help you think things through without ever being pushy. The end result is work that feels both intentional and personal. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. -Zara C, working with Jenny C.”

“Custom Floor Design was terrific from start to finish. I found them online and did not have high expectations going there. I was wrong. The showroom was bright and very professional. And they had beautiful high end products. Our consultant, Kathy, was knowledgeable and very patient. She spent a long time with us as we were looking for an area rug. We could not decide that day, but went back and Kathy again showed us more. We purchased one outside our comfort zone because of Kathy. She was wonderful. Shipping and install was a dream. I cannot say enough about this company. A+!!”

“I've known about Fitzgerald Tile as a great resource way back from years ago when they were located in Woburn and I needed a couple of tile projects done in 2000, and I have to say the newer location in North Reading is amazing in the setup and how the tile is displayed. Having both floor and walls showing good sizable areas using different tiles helps envision the final result. Also, I’d like to extend major kudos to Shawn Hugh, one of the design consultants who was extremely helpful honing in on what selections of tile, grout, accents, and edging would work best with my bathroom project. Looking forward to the new look once it’s installed. Thank you again Shawn and the team at Fitzgerald Tile!”

“Hudson is easily one of the most inspiring and special spaces in the South End. Jill’s design team is absolutely top-notch—the curation in there is flawless—but the store is also a real anchor for the community. I’ve been to an incredible book signing event there, and the vibe is always immaculate. Massive shoutout to Paige and Kelly up front, who are consistently phenomenal, incredibly helpful, and just full of great energy. It’s exactly the kind of independent, design-forward business that makes a neighborhood great.”

“Fantastic collection of beautiful things! I could have stayed here all day!! MK seals the wonderful energy in the shop! Very helpful and warm, knows her merchandise and artists well and took all the time I needed to learn what I was buying, who made it, where it came from etc., which will forever be a part and f the priced I chose and make them them all the more special to me! And she did all that with multiple customers in the shop. We all got treated like we were the only ones there. Customer service is becoming a lost art, but you can find it here with MK! I am a sales coach on ho-Trch and I love and appreciate great service. I really have little tolerance these days for anything less. I would have walked out if I hadn’t been greeted and welcomed and invited to browse and ask questions. So many boutiques and shops treat you like you are a bother — there are just too many choices these days. This kind of browsing and shopping is as much about the experience as it is the treasures you choose to take home that will forever remind you of the moment, the visit, the people you met… whatever it is. Stories sell. It’s important and you will find it at Motto! Thank you MK and Motto. I will be back!”

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.
Read the postBob'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.
