What a find! The main guy, David, is a straight talking pro with no BS, exactly the kind of people…read moreI prefer to work with. (The other man was very nice too but didn't work with him as much so didn't catch his name. We had 5 very faded window surrounds & valances for our 30' RV and after an hour of picking fabrics, talking how we wanted it done and hearing his advice, we were so impressed we decided to have the captain chairs done too. His price was fair, great fabric choices and .... the time he quoted for completion very reasonable...but...... he actually finsished10 days early! Just picked them up and am sooo happy! Thank you! I am making a point of doing this review because there were so few I wasn't sure about using Native Son, ... and that would have been my mistake! Maybe satisfied people are less likely to leave reviews? Sure glad we did. With the new upholstery, window coverings and new flooring we put in, our 23-year-old RV looks like it's just rolled off the showroom floor ;-) Pretty and comfy!

We appreciate any business that place's customers concerns first! Our Hunter Douglas Duet Shades…read moresplit! We called the original store and they wanted $95 to send a worker to determine the damage. We called Native Son and they came immediately, free of charge. We had a lifetime guarantee on the shades. David, from Native Son took care of the replacements and installed them free of charge! We will do,business with them in the future! Highly recommend to others!

I have been in this store several times and the owners Amy and John have always been very nice to…read moreme. I have been in both the rail yard store and the Marcy Street store. They even fed me some great French pastry on one occasion. I have seen many people come and go and I was in the store when two ladies took extra brochures because they needed something to write on. The owner was very nice about it but said please take one and write on that if you need to but printing colored brochures is very expensive and if it's scratch paper you are looking for I have a paper bag you can write on. The lady said something I couldn't quite hear but left quite abruptly. I didn't think the owner was being rude. Some folks are just hard to please I guess. Anyway, I've bought some of their shoes and cushions. The items they sell are not inexpensive but it's like Mom used to say, "you get what you pay for". Long story short some of these items are years old now and have been left out in the weather (sun and rain) and they haven't faded or fallen apart. I can't say the same for the Chinese items I've purchased at Wal-Mart. I always try to support our local businesses first and use Wal-Mart as a last resort. Anyway I love this unique one-of-a-kind business. They have things that you won't find anywhere else.

I just had the nastiest customer service experience with this store I think I've ever had…read more I saw online that they sell Fermob bistro tables and chairs which a client of mine is looking for. I was reviewing the online listing, trying to gather pertinent info to share with the client - ie cost, colors, availability, shipping time in transit so they could make an informed decision. The shipping time wasn't listed online but I saw they had a customer service chat function. I sent my question on shipping time and waited a minute for someone to connect. They sent "?????" and "are you there?" right when they connected. Weird. I wrote back hello and they said they needed to know what color to answer. I shared the potential color. They said it was in stock, goes out within week of the order, and ships fedex. I asked how long it would be expected to take in transit. (This was my question initially). They said they don't make any promises. I said is there an estimation... 2 weeks, 5 months, roughly what should we plan for? They then wrote "why would you say that when I just said one week?" But as you recall, I was told after ordering, they ship out within one week. They never said the timing in transit. Then they disconnected. I was dumbfounded! Needless to say I absolutely will not recommend my client orders from Bon Marche. Hope this customer service person has the day they deserve.

What a shock when I visited Joann's Santa Fe. Store was filthy. Christmas decorations with no…read moreprices still dripping from dusty hooks. I was directed to the back of the store where I could find what I came for only to find 10" rolling racks filled with who knows what blocking the ability to even see what I came for. It appeared that the store was ready to shut its doors any minute. Not the store I remember even less than a year ago. I left shocked and disappointed.

There are a list of classes that can be found for a nominal fee. Classes are small so the need to reserve one early is important. The staff is very experienced and helpful. This shop is tucked away but worth the effort.
