They always seem to fail. Had issues with SEVERAL pieces of furniture a few years ago. That is a…read morewhole other story. Now on to today. I was all prepared to purchase a recliner. I knew exactly what I wanted. There was a young lady standing by the recliners. I walked over sat in about 3 of them to try them out, she didn't even acknowledge I was there. She was about 10-15 feet away. I finally walked over and showed her the recliner I wanted, said I would like to have it in black (leather). She said it would take about 6-8 weeks to get there and required a 25% non refundable payment. I said ok since I am not in a hurry to get it. Then she told me there would be a $100 up charge to get it in black. This chair was over $1000! And they want another $100 because they don't carry that particular one. That's when I said I don't need it that bad. I left the store, disappointed because I found the chair I wanted but damn, $100 upcharge to get it in black. I drove straight to Slumberland found the chair I wanted for $200 less, NO UPCHARGE to get it in black leather. Still 6-8 weeks to get. After the fiasco we had a few years with a dining set, bedroom set and living room set all fell apart within 6 months of buying it. I'm not sure I will ever go back.

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!

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.
