“First, let me begin by saying that I’m not a gardener. Plants flee from my at the sight of my aspirational purchases. I once bought a bonsai tree that had survived a natural disaster. It promptly died in my house 2 weeks later. I rebuy ferns and pretend they’re still the original ones. Cactus? Nope. Air plant? Suffocates. Succulent? Please. So when my wife said that she wanted a garden our front of our 200 year old home, I hoped she meant a rock garden. Gnomes? Concrete turtles? Sure! Nope. She meant super beautiful, intentionally sourced perennials. Awesome… So off we went to Bast. I hid my head in fear that the plants had talked about my reputation. First car load of perennials, a stern talking to about fertilizer and watering practices and about 4 hours later, I drove back for the second car load; then the third. Every time I came, I asked questions, and every time I left, I had answers. Hydrangea? Quiz me. Bee balm? Don’t get me started. I’ll put you to sleep with my knowledge. Cat mint? Pfft. Child’s play. And hey, my ferns? Yup. Original still kicking this year. Will I buy a bonsai tree again? Not yet. But will I be back for my next project? Damn skippy. Hold my hoe, we got this.”
“Jason is the man. He helped me and my girlfriend find the best suited mattress for us. He helped bring us around to every mattress that fit the criteria we were looking for. He didn’t pressure us into buying anything and made the whole process smooth.”
“Absolutely love them. They are amazing for your floral needs as well as any other easy gift ideas. I also love all of their seasonal setups, the store is always so gorgeous. The kitties just push this place over the joy limit. ?”
“We had a very positive experience selecting counter stools for our new kitchen. The manager we worked with was extremely patient and took the time to explain the details that helped us make the best selection possible. We are very happy with our purchase and with how well this business is run. We would not hesitate to purchase from them again.”
“Theresa was a pleasure to work with. Budget Blinds has the best communication and support you could ask for. I would highly recommend choosing them for your work. I had plantation shutters installed (they look great) and was supported throughout the entire process.”
“I went in a few weeks ago and Chris helped me while I was looking at a desk. Unfortunately, the desk didn’t end up fitting in the space I needed it to. When it came time to look for a couch, I wanted to come back here because I remembered how kind and helpful he was! I purchased my couch with him just a few days ago and he was just as kind and helpful as my first visit. He definitely went above and beyond. High recommend working with Chris for any furniture needs!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Anne in buying a mattress and box spring. She was very patient and informative. It was a pleasure shopping in your store. I will be back again! Thank you!”
“Recent renovations in our Shore condo required lamp shade replacements for seven lamps of various shapes and styles. Kelly Conte encouraged us to bring our lamps in and they would help choose the best style and size shade from their extensive on site collection. When we returned with our lamps we were warmly greeted by Matt Conte who quickly laid out several styles of shade that complimented each lamp. While the shades were close in size, Matt showed us how small changes in height could be achieved with risers, larger alterations could be had with various sized harps. He patiently made these changes until a new shade was perched perfectly on each lamp. While we were choosing our shades Vince Conte noticed that one of our lamps had a loose harp and socket. He kindly made the needed repairs. This family owned business offers quality merchandise, outstanding knowledgeable service, and fair pricing. Thank you Lamp & Shade Works!”
“The customer service is phenomenal. The vibes are always there and the smell is just captivating! The store gives some effortless vibe and you just wanna look at everything!”
“I purchased two end tables, a coffee table, two table lamps and a floor lamp from Doughty’s on Saturday during their big one day sale. Their merchandise is quality, prices are fantastic and customer service is the best!”
“My friend and I stopped in on a whim during a trip through New Jersey and we loved it! It has the cutest vintage/rustic decor and the candles smell amazing. We went home with Fraser Fir but we also loved the smell of the Honeysuckle and the Lemon Biscotti. The owner was so sweet and told us about other stores in the area and recommendations on where to eat. We are so happy we decided to take a look!”
“Don’t miss this shop if you are in or around @Pitman NJ!! Such a lovely and fun place to find special gifts, artisan items and amazing gems!!! You’ll absolutely become a return shopper!!!”
“Great quality furniture and service—they didn’t bat an eye at the idea of delivery to my third story roof deck. Everything arrived and was assembled as expected. Linda and team are wonderful to work with.”
“Napa East is a pleasure to deal with. I damaged a clock I had purchased several years ago, and they quickly and efficiently repaired it, and were friendly and helpful to boot! I highly recommend them for the interesting and creative items they sell, and the nice way they do it!”
“I get caught up in this store every time. They have such a wide variety of decor and crafting. They are in the midst of preparing for fall and Christmas so things are a tad bit shuffled but not for long.”
“Thank you so much Annette with helping us selecting our bedroom set, kitchen set and living room set. Annette gave us excellent help and was most informative with all the furniture choices and questions we had. Annette went above and beyond to make sure we were very satisfied with the choices we made. Thanks again, Claire and Ken Lambert”
“The loveseat was easy to find. It was exactly what we wanted. The purchase experience was smooth and with no high pressure. The delivery was on time. The delivery team was courteous and professional. They got the old one out and the new one in very quickly and efficiently. The whole experience was excellent!”
“Michelle refused to accept my ross rewards through the app (she said I had to print them out to use them) LOL. She has no idea what she's talking about but her ego is so massive, she can't admit she's wrong... She also told the other cashier Not to help me either... Disgustingly bad customer service. Once she's fired I'll leave a 5 star review.. Update: I think she got fired. So I'll leave a 5 star review now.”
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.
