The owner is amazing. We've made multiple purchases and he's actually delivered all of the pieces…read morewithin 24 hours! PFC carries unique pieces prices WAY below market value. And these are antique, sturdy wood, and quality pieces of furniture and collectibles for the home! All priced way below anywhere else comparable in the city! I've also had the pleasure of selling items to the owner, as I buy estates out in full. He is fair in buying as well. I am always happy to work with as he knows his market and is happy to purchase high end quality pieces for his customers. I have a lot of respect for him because he doesn't buy anything, only the best.

Recently I have gotten into milling around stores like this. Not sure what has come over me but I…read morekind of like it. I like looking through items and thinking what if I had this. I have also come to the realization that you don't always need to buy new when you are looking for unique. I really enjoyed this place because they have something for just about everybody in here. What one person may find tacky another will enjoy immensely. The downstairs is setup nicely. You can easily maneuver through the area and see everything they have on display. Don't think that this is all that they have in store, venture upstairs. Upstairs takes a little more time to go through. But it is still a great area to go through. I was drawn to this map of the city, of course I was too late as it was sold. Would make a great wall piece. There were also an abundance of globes that were dated, but kind of awesome. I also eyed in on a coat rack, but had to talk myself out of it as I really didn't need it. Don't mind the noise when you are upstairs as this sits underneath Arsenal Bowling. At least don't think that there was another floor to this and that they were moving furniture around, as my friend did. Really amusing and confusing to the employee when we were in here.

This upscale home-furnishing store offers a huge selection of many things that you only wish you…read morecould place in your home, and their website does a great job of cleanly displaying most of their selections. I noticed a few things about their in-store selection: Chairs - recliner chairs, reading chairs, kitchen chairs, sofa chairs, office chairs, chair chairs (their selection is endless.) Rugs - probably a good 1/3 of their second floor is covered in rolled up rugs just waiting to be unrolled, admired, and stepped on! Tables, lamps, paintings, office furnishing, lots of artwork tastefully displayed throughout. I had the opportunity to come in right before their closing, and a store representative was kind enough to offer any assistance although I mentioned I was only browsing. Later, after a brief conversation about my interest in home furnishing, she enthusiastically and generously offered me around 8-10 catalogs of their selections so I could learn more about their selections, and she topped it off with a complimentary Weisshouse chocolate candy bar (which was so delicious!). One of their designers was also working in the back, and he kindly introduced himself to me and taught me a little bit about where/how they go about finding and selecting their furnishings for display. Overall, I had an overwhelmingly positive experience just browsing their store and learned a great deal from them about home furnishing!

Weisshouse made it up to me by giving me a credit of $1000 on a new piece of furniture. I bought…read moretwo more chairs from them, not electrical recliners!

Service at this store is good-review is for corporate customer care but there is no place to review…read moreoverall experience. I ordered the Harris Left Arm Bumper Chaise Sleeper Sofa 112" and the chaise was damaged before delivery. And upon delivery of the sleeper and inspection, the delivery team pointed out that sleeper mattress was stained. That was on January 27. I was told I'd get a new mattress delivered, no action needed on my end. So I waited on that and I was told I would be credited for the damaged left-arm bumper chaise in Golden Oak Performance Velvet on Sat Feb 1. The customer service rep told me I would see an email with the credit between 2-24 hours. When nothing came into my inbox, I called again on Sunday Feb 2 and was told it would take 48 hours from the time it was initiated, which would be end of day Monday. Again, nothing in my inbox Monday so I called Tuesday Feb 4 and was told I needed to talk to someone named Yvette. I was transferred to her, left a voice message, and now it's been another 24 hours with no response. I'm just trying to get merchandise credit so I can order a new piece of furniture from West Elm and continue my relationship as a long-time shopper with the PB/WS/WE franchise. This refund/return process has been unclear and my money ($1599 + tax + delivery fees) is hanging in the balance. I haven't received any communication regarding the issue unless I reach out to West Elm and even then, when I'm told I will receive a follow up email or call, it doesn't come. I do get plenty of marketing emails and I received all my receipts and delivery confirmations, however, so I know it's not an issue of an incorrect email address. I love West Elm and Pottery Barn, and while the initial ordering and delivery process was an easy and positive experience, there's been so little transparency and urgency regarding next steps and making this right that I'm second guessing any future purchases with this organization. Additionally, when I mentioned during my chats with customer service that my sleeper chaise was delivered with a stained mattress, there was no record of this and I was asked to submit photos as proof. I did that and am waiting to hear next steps as it's the 3rd business day and the instructions stated that I would receive a response in 1-2 days. I did not even receive a confirmation of photo submission. Something is broken within the post-sales and post-delivery customer experience and needs an overhaul. As a customer, I need clear expectations and follow up communication via phone/email/text. Everyone I have spoken to when I call in has been pleasant and given me the impression that this is moving along and I am being taken care of, but then radio silence and no clarity. And final note, I purchased a $200 wall-mount light fixture and it arrived too damaged to assemble. What is going on?! Return process for that was simple and done online, but still, the quality control is non-existent. I will not purchase from West Elm again unless it's an item in stock at the store.

I reached out via the phone and spoke with Bonnie to inquire more about them. I then reached out via FB messenger to see if certain pieces were still available and she was so accommodating and helpful. Yesterday we stopped in to check out some pieces. Bonnie and the gentleman there were both so kind, helpful and understanding. They couldn't have been any nicer. They have a huge selection of furniture, both new and used to choose from. You can rent or buy. A lot of furniture at more "typical" stores right now is on back order which isn't always ideal. Some of the used furniture is in better or worse condition than the next which is to be expected since they can't control how someone cares for the furniture they are leasing. The location was easy to get to with a great parking lot right next door. The space itself was immaculate. Everything was clean and easy to see. They explained how they thoroughly cleaned the each item they lease when it gets turned in which makes me feel much better about buying used from them versus elsewhere. It's definitely a great place to check out if you're in the market for new furniture!

When we dropped items off on 6 or 7 occasions, the workers were helpful and friendly. The off-street parking was convenient although sometimes busy. Drop-off hours are somewhat limited (at this writing, 9-noon Mon, Tue, Thurs, and Fri), but we liked the place and arranged our schedule accordingly. We also had some larger items to donate, and checked the Second Harvest website before assembling donations in the garage. It was easy to go online and book a Second Harvest vehicle to come to the address. This service did cost money, but it was far less expensive than any other non-profit we tried. Online payment has an option to reschedule or cancel. The two men who visited the house were friendly, efficient, and strong. They accepted most of our items, and explained why they could not take certain things (all non-profits have similar rules, so this was understandable). Our goals were to help our neighbors, and keep useful and beautiful things out of landfills. I felt very comfortable donating to Second Harvest---everything from cutlery and clothing to a nice desk. I have faith that these items will go on to people who want and need them.

Nice place! Has its own parking lot which is nice. Organized and clean, but the prices are a little…read morehigh depending on the item. I'd probably consider it a consignment shop over a thrift store... I did get some good deals so I'm glad I made the stop!
