I just purchased a chair last night and while I was very impressed with a number of things, there was one teeny tiny little detail that stuck that made me knock off a star. The aforementioned chair was one that was in stock, but finding the display was very difficult. I asked a couple of employees about chairs on display and was given the rote answer of "We don't have room to display everything". At one point I looked at how many chairs fit in a bay and found one area that could fit 5 more chairs, so that answer did NOT sit will with me. That's the only reason I'm knocking off a star. What made it an otherwise 5 star visit? The variety, for one thing. On this visit they were just filled to the brim with stuff. As I mentioned, I found a chair I liked, based on the picture on the box. As I was walking around, the staff were dealing with a pretty major ceiling leak that hit during a rain storm. One guy who had been helping there stopped what he was doing to help me. I don't mean he just gave me a quick answer to a question, he pulled a chair down I kind of liked, and helped me on my search for the one I REALLY liked. He eventually found it on display, and helped me get it down. We talked for a bit, and I helped him get it back up on the shelf. In the end, the customer service from this guy was great! Later, when I came back to buy the chair I wanted, the people on duty were very proactive in helping me. One lady found a flat cart, and the lady at checkout made sure I had help loading it. Having bought furniture online, this was totally worth the money. It's comfy and stylish, and feels like it should last. If you're thinking about a chair or loveseat and are on a budget, avoid those online shops and make sure to check this place out first!

Finally got help when we said out loud "Maybe we can find someone who works here". No real help was offered. We asked about bedroom furniture and were told that they mostly work with designers. Oh, really? We looked at area rugs and window coverings, but again, no assistance was offered even though there was absolutely no one else in the store. So...maybe we don't look like we can afford their furnishings? Maybe we aren't their type of customer? We definitely felt like they had no time for us. We took our business across town, purchased everything we wanted at Distinctive Furnishings and even ordered some of the exact items we saw at Etc from Distinctive Furnishings at a lower price point. Beautiful store, but the customer service is sorely lacking. We won't sully their store with our presence again.

Distinctive Home Furnishings is located near Menards, and I hope they're here to stay. After I received my tax refund, I decided to take a look around. My old Flexsteel had popped a spring, and because it was kind of beat up, I thought a new recliner might make a nice treat. They had some BEAUTIFUL floor models, and had catalogs showing almost any variation you could think of if you wanted a different color or material. In some cases, they had less expensive options if you don't have a premium brand budget. After running into some health issues, I had to take a new recliner off my wish list. However, being an authorized Flexsteel dealer, they were able to assist me with the repair of my old recliner. Because Flexsteel offers a lifetime warranty on their springs, I was able to breathe new life into my old recliner, and my back has thanked me! If you have a repair done, just be ready to wait. Those things take time, but totally worth the wait. I'm grateful for their help, and when I have a recliner budget, I'm heading back as fast as I can to get one!

What makes them different from other stores and boutiques is that they pride themselves in the fact that they offer all their clothing pieces in sizes Small to 3X! That is definitely not something you can find at any other clothing store or boutique. They think girlfriends should be able to shop together no matter what their sizes are!! What a forward thinking idea!?! I love their concept and can't wait to stop by with my girlfriends in tow. They are always getting new inventory, making them an addictive stop when out downtown. They are a great place to find a fun and unique gift for your friend, family member or coworker. They sell beautiful and unique jewelry pieces as well as cruelty free bath and body products. They are definitely a place you will want to check out. You can also shop online if you want. The staff is very nice and helpful, shopping there is fun and enjoyable.

The prices are reasonable for the quality of work. This store is run by a non-profit artist organization, The Pillar Group. There's another similar shop at College Mall in Bloomington, where Victoria's Secret once stood past Target. The art is diverse and has a local and Indiana theme to it. While most jewelry is focused towards women, there are a few pieces of men's gear. It has the feel of a gift shop, and indeed there are greeting cards, and wrapping available for purchases. It's a very wide variety of handmade art, and it's all well-presented. I'm embarrassed how much I've purchased here; the values are pretty good for what I look for. Parking is downtown-crappy, but the store is bright and easy to shop.

Another benefit of getting out to explore your community is finding a business you didn't know was there and you are pleasantly surprised by what you find. Kind of like finding a hidden treasure! My wife was shopping next door inside Tivoli Fashions in the Fountain Square Mall just south of the county courthouse in Bloomington. Since the shopping she was doing had nothing to do with me, I wandered out into the mall and found By Hand Gallery just across the hallway. If you enjoy looking at hand crafted items like wall hangings, ceramics, and small items that can be gifts for either your friends or for yourself. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any assistance. Even when I explained that I only stopped in to pass time while my wife shopped next door, he said he understood and to feel free to browse and ask questions. I was feeling welcomed, not watched or like I was wasting his time. That's good business. I really enjoyed looking over the items. I don't do a lot of decorating in our home, but I did see things here that I thought would look nice. I didn't make any purchases at this time, but the items I looked at seemed of good quality and worth considering coming back for. Review #3911
