The stuff is very high quality. Gift shops around here have cheap looking stuff but it's expensive. It's not like that here. There's lots of handcrafted items. Get something for pretty much everyone. There's jewelry and keychains among the smaller items. It has some bigger items including clothing and other accessories. These items are especially good for women. Lots of things for them here to try on. They can find a variety of stylish purses. As for the men there's funny T-shirts and novelty items. There's also the old school stuff like postcards. It overall is a cool place for gifts. Look for some of the offbeat items. There's something for all tastes.

He said it was very expensive. I looked very closely at the materials and mentioned that it was not real wood, either MDF or Particle Board with veneer as well as made in China. My friend said that is impossible as he was assured it was real solid wood made in Denmark. I said to him, I will cut part of his furniture and if it is not MDF or Particle Board I would buy and replace it. Lo and behold it was Particle Board. I have yet to find out what my friend did after I left his dinner invitation.

We were told someone would come out to repair it. The can of fabric spray came dented and with caps broken off so was unable to use.

We followed up once and were told we would be contacted when the items came in. To date, months later we have heard nothing. We have a couch with torn underside, no fabric spray and no items that were offered as service recovery. we ordered through Georgetown store.

Ade was patient, understanding and professional every time I came into the store to look at chairs. She encouraged me to take my time and helped me make an informed decision about which chair to buy. She never hovered but made a practice of appearing whenever I had a question or needed her help. Listening to Ade, helped me clarify what I was really looking for in an office chair and helped me see things I never would have seen or appreciated. More than anything else, though, I felt valued and heard from my first interaction coming through the door thru my purchase.

The team at Hudson & Crane has given us a GORGEOUS space built around our vision but more wonderful than our wildest dreams. The process began by sharing our design aesthetic ideas, color preferences and goals for our home. The team got to know us personally and helped us articulate the "feel" we were aiming for. They presented a sample design with choices for each item in the look. We were ecstatic with the design, the pieces and how fabulously the team understood our vision! The furniture pieces, wallpapers and lighting choices were beautiful and unique. We knew early on, based on H&C's selections that we were going to be thrilled with the end result. The team has been responsive throughout the process as we made our decisions and awaited pieces. They work with a warehouse that receives, inspects and stores items to be delivered in batches. We've really loved that the pieces are inspected and the team handles any issues seamlessly for us. We are extremely happy with our completed space! We love living in it, and everyone who visits our home raves about the look. We're very happy that we put our trust in the Hudson & Crane team, they definitely delivered.

Diptyque Georgetown was one of the most disappointing retail experiences I've had. I visited for…read morecandle refills and stood in the store for over 15 minutes without being acknowledged. One sales associate eventually helped me after finishing with another customer, which I appreciated. However, two other associates behind the counter did not acknowledge me at all. What made the situation particularly concerning was that when white customers entered the store, they were immediately greeted and assisted. As a Black customer, the difference in treatment felt noticeable and uncomfortable. At a brand like Diptyque--where customer experience is part of the product--this kind of disparity is unacceptable. I've visited Diptyque locations in multiple countries and have never experienced this level of disregard. This visit felt dismissive and unwelcoming, and it has significantly changed my perception of this location.

Out of dozens and dozens of scents I maybe found two that I could tolerate?Judging by the price point though, you'd think their candles would smell like heaven but most everything smelled like wet dog or old leaves to me. That said, the customer service was friendly and very attentive. The salesperson was not shy to give us recommendations, tell us about products, or help us out. I also noticed they provide gift wrapping in a variety of beautiful color combinations. Very classy. My boyfriend found what he was looking for and left a satisfied customer, but I left feeling like I had no idea why anyone would pay $70+ for an average sized candle that smelled like the back of a grandma's closet (and wondering if I'm just too primitive to "get" it).

Run by a great family, this kitchen supply leans into the specificity of everything you could need in a kitchen. Not only supplying distinct tools, but that tool in all shapes, sizes, materials and so on to fit your culinary needs. A visit here would affordably stock any industrial kitchen or innovate a home kitchen up a culinary step. If you take cooking more seriously invest in these culinary grade pieces they have in their inventory and support small businesses! We would have never came across this store if if were not for the owner's son and their $2 lemonade stand! PS the lemonade is fresh, sweet, with just enough pulp to know that children made it! We enjoyed sipping it while perusing the store and this place WILL be revisited by me, so why not go and live out your kitchen fantasy?
