I didn't make it a priority, but I have recently had the most amazing experience by being in the store. It is affordable unique, and the options to choose from were fantastic. They have some candles and some wax melt options that were amazing and when I got them home, they had some really good room fill of the scent without having to wait for hours. I will definitely be going back because there were at least a dozen other things I wanted to buy, but couldn't afford because of the purchase I had already made I think anyone that walks in there will find something to purchase that they absolutely have to have or is perfect for gifts for others and if you miss this, it's on you because you've missed some thing that is absolutely fantastic. Great job to the owners for making a store be an adventure. Thank you.

In a charming neighborhood, you will find Cottage by the Creek, in Des Moines, Iowa…read more It is a quaint cottage surrounded by a flower-filled yard and trees. When you open the door, you meet a perfectly delightful and friendly shop owner. There is a wonderful variety of merchandise that would please a diverse array of shoppers....jewelry, clothing, kitchen items, large assortment of beautiful French tablecloths, home decor and much more. I bought two great necklaces made from Tagua seeds from Ecuador. I just love them and have received many compliments when I wear them. They are so attractive and unique. I also purchased a gorgeous rectangular French tablecloth in blues and yellows and some cute kitchen towels. In my shopping I also acquired a stylish top with a lacy edge and a fishnet type top to go with it. The shopkeeper also has many artistic wind chimes for your patio. Mine has a metallic dragonfly and colorful beads. If you can't make it to her shop, she also has a stall at the awesome Des Moines Farmers Market every Saturday for 6 months of the year. That's another thing that you should definitely experience! What a great little shop, full of such interesting things! Wish it was in my city!

(JASON MELTON) I AM Begging you DO NOT BUY FROM HERE…read more I was called a liar and the Manager got Aggressive and disrespectful and ended the convo before it started because he knew he was in the wrong This is the most unprofessional rude and disrespectful store ever they do not meet customers expectations or their own they lie about their policy just so you can buy a couch they told me that my old couch would be took out, and they would bring the new couch and fix it up etc None of this happened. The MANAGER told us this!! And the worker said 3 other clients on the past week said the same thing that they are misinforming customers they ended up leaving the couch and not fixing anything this is not worth it Reviews don't lie or ratings listen and save yourself some time pls. Edit: You will be followed around and basically stalked and almost forced to buy anything the manager followed us and the salesman around everywhere it was very uncomfortable and unpleasant

So staff was great. Furniture itself didn't appear to be a problem at first. Then the mechanics on…read moreour lift chair gave out after a little more (like days) than a year. Great, it's covered under warranty. Well, first of all their financing through Acima is predatory. They were the absolute worst to deal with. Forced auto pay and then send auto-generated emails that we were late making payments and one time tried to charge us for it. Initially they offered to give me a "discount" to reinstate payments. Umm, no. I will not be paying anything extra when my account was in good standing the entire time and your system just didn't attempt to charge it. I was not late, it's automated. Then when I turn in this warranty claim and they get a local technician, I specifically state that I have an appointment in the afternoon and I need a morning appointment. They scheduled an afternoon appointment anyway and when I called to reschedule, they hung up on me and when I finally got through, they scheduled it more than a week out. Now my furniture has been completely unusable for 3 weeks, will be a month at that point. Not to mention they complained that I didn't send the right pictures and threatened to deny my claim but gave no instructions on how to update it. They wanted a picture of the entire recliner when the problem was listed as mechanical and I had sent a photo of the lift mechanism. I am so fed up I don't care how good the prices are or the quality it's not worth all this hassle. Do not be deceived, if you have any sort of issue, you will be speaking to someone who barely speaks English and does not give a hoot about your experience. Do not shop here!

They have some designer brands for much cheaper than they would sell for at department stores. The selection is always changing- keeping up with the trends.

Next time you are looking for a gift this is a must try place. I am confident you will not be disappointed. You must come without anything in mind and let your imagination take over.

I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed World Market before now. I love browsing in this store!…read more My daughter has recently had a craving for iced chai. A venti iced chai at Starbucks is about $7. World Market carries a TON of chai mixes and teas that come to much less than $7 a drink. Lol While the store is fun to browser the online site is user friendly and often offers 15% off for an in store pick up order...which is exactly what I did last night. I purchased three different varieties of David Rio chai mixes and some gummy peach rings with tajin, chiles, and limon. I placed the order online at about 200 PM and it was pulled and ready by 430 PM. Your mileage may vary. On arriving at the store I headed up to a register and let the employee know I was there to pick up an online order. It was pulled and brought to me quickly. The staff is friendly and parking is easy. And there are a great group of adjacent businesses and restaurants nearby if you are in the mood to shop a little more... World Market is a great place to just kill some time. Especially for a foodie! I work just a few blocks away so it's nice and convenient. The online system make it so easy! Almost too easy...

Whether you're decluttering your pantry, revamping your closet, or finding clever ways to organize your craft supplies, you're likely to find what you need and more. Exceptional selection, helpful and friendly staff, and well-organized and inspiring displays. A mecca for organization, but be mindful of the pricing... The Container Store is a fantastic resource for anyone serious about organizing their space. The selection is unparalleled and the staff is generally helpful. The store itself is a pleasure to browse. However, be prepared for potentially higher prices compared to other big box stores. Have a plan in mind before walking in...to avoid possibly feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of choices! Be sure to ask about their rewards program to save on future purchases!

I lived near the…read moreWalnut Creek branch for years, and since then I find an occasional urban area (like West Des Moines) that has one. I'm naturally attracted to merchandise that can be used to store stuff. At the same time, Gayle would advise that I buy less "stuff", thus minimizing any further container purchases. So here I was in West Des Moines, primarily to look for luggage at REI. And much to my pleasant surprise was this Container Store, just an easy stroll away. I wandered around for a while imagining the possibilities. I ended up with some hangers (which for some reason we always need) and a couple cool storage boxes. Sorry Gayle. :)
