Lo and behold, as you come in, what welcomes you is the serene ambiance of almost "home", minus the smell of home cooking or popcorn. The place is packed with very tastefully curated items from handcrafted "reclaimed lumber" to Villeroy & Boch and other very interesting finds. Even the bathroom which I perused after a long drive looked great and well appointed. The young lady at the counter was very pleasant and cordial. The very dapper looking gentleman (I presumed is the owner) was very attentive and hands on with his assistance on the product I was interested in. He answered all my questions and seemed really knowledgeable. Though quite a distance from home, it will be goodbye to the mall at Short Hills and hello to The Homestead at Princeton when it's time to redecorate. Pricing ranges from expensive to affordable. Well, depending on your taste, budget and aesthetics The place gave me the shivers (positive). If I was a leaf, I would be shaking. The place is marvelous. The dapper gentleman and young lady was a delight. Thank you for the shopping experience.

I have passed US Brand for years and may have stopped in when it was an "Oriental Furniture Outlet" or a mattress wholesaler, I really can't remember. Whatever it was doesn't really matter, US Brand is a converted industrial garage stuffed to the rafters with furniture. Surprisingly the staff is very low key and allows you to catch your breath and get the lay of the land without descending like vultures on a wounded mongoose (very much appreciated BTW.) Unfortunately, their furniture inventory is not our style. Lots of laminate, white leather, sprawling Diamonique chandeliers and copious use of gold inlays. It felt more like an estate sale for the last Gabor sister or perhaps, Imelda Marcos. Obviously, this casino maximus style must sell but today was not the day to channel my inner Wayne Newton. Four stars for the very relaxed sales environment. Given the furniture jackals elsewhere, that's no small compliment.

First we liked the sales gal and her helpful, non pushy style. Compare that to a competitor across the street where it looked like a car dealership and several sharp looking guys in suits waiting at the door for you to exit your car! Not that style here at US Brands! The owner was equally low key. It took two visits before we landed on the exact size and color of sectional couch. They said it would take 6-8 weeks; it took a week or so longer; and was just delivered today! We LOVE our new couch! And now plan to return to add other new pieces to our family room. Highly recommend this place.

I will definitely be ordering some things from them in the future. :)

A perfect example of lots of things that I want and almost nothing that I NEED. But that makes it such a fun shop and kind of perfect for gifts!  The store is so well laid out that even with so many small and little things out on display, it is still somehow not overwhelming or messy. I've stopped in a few times and either myself or the person I am with needs to get one or two things. On my last visit, I finally caved and got myself an actual matcha whisk and stand, so no more coffee frothing (or subpar matcha making) for me. I've also gotten a really beautiful and sleek pair of chopsticks before, and have my eye on a few other things that I will save for future visits.  The woman that is usually there behind the register is kind and polite without making you feel like you need to get something. In fact, she really is the opposite of some shops that are on top of you as you browse and walk around.  It is on the expensive side. The whisk and stand came out to $30+, but where else do you find such a unique and curated store? Worth it every once and awhile, I'd say.  Happy shopping!

Honestly, Mandalay is a great place to kill 30 minutes and find out if you have any impulse control as you mutter "how cute" under your breath constantly looking for the off switch.

My bestie and I had been in to the store together on my last visit to NJ and I'd sneakily taken photos of some earrings she'd took a liking to. Almost a year later and because of Covid we haven't been able to see each other so I wanted to do a special​ gift for her birthday. Yosma picked out the closest matches from current earring display and sent me photos to choose, added a handwritten note and arranged the postage to my pal. It's gone down a treat Yosma, thanks heaps: "Omg, the postman has delivered happiness in a little box! The earrings are honestly gorgeous, I love them. Thank you THANK YOU " We'll both be back in store soon as I'm allowed to fly out of the UK! Stay safe til then.

Julia was super helpful and patient with helping us make our masterpieces. I am no Picasso but with Julia's guidance I didn't do too shabby! Overall it was a really fun team building activity for myself and coworkers. This was my first time at a sip and paint and Julia made it so enjoyable. There was also some music playing in the background as we painted which made it more fun.
