The store stretches to the back and has so much to offer. The perfect spot to find a gift or just pick up something nice for yourself and/or your home. They have a pretty decent section geared towards men as well. The pricing is pretty affordable. It just depends on what you fancy. The staff were helpful, they have baskets around to collect all your goodies for purchase. They had a small sale/clearance section. They also have a cute pet and kiddo section.

I am actually writing about the experience I had today, Jan 14th, with the sales lady. My husband…read moreand I entered the store and the sales person did not even bother to look up much less greet us. As we were wandering around the store looking for leather recliners we noticed the staff person pass by us, twice, without any recognition at all. As we were leaving we had to pass her and I asked a question as to how long the store had been there as we could not remember it from the past. I truly felt like I was bothering her...She responded like the question annoyed her? or? Anyway, I'm not sure but when we left the store my husband and I both commented on how rude we felt she was! There was only the 1 employee (her) that we noticed so maybe she was having a bad day but we really do not feel the need to return to Random Harvest. There are plenty of places we can seek out a leather recliner from but it was a shame as the experience left us with a bad "taste" in our mouths for the business.

The co-owner, Kim, I believe, was incredibly friendly as well as the other lady working there (unfortunately I didn't quite catch her name even though she did introduce herself when I walked in).

Nonetheless, decided to buy some gifts for family that totaled about $80. The wonderful lady at the front decided it was a great idea to place three heavy desk weights and three coasters into one small paper bag. I asked her to double bag it, but she had already closed out the register. I offered to pay the extra 50¢ to purchase another bag but she only would accept cash, or require me to spend another $5.00 on credit! It amazing how after spending $80 she would not just give me another bag for the heavy items. Don't waste your time or money here, it's cheap Chinese products at an insane marked up price and the customer service is below satisfactory.

I will always stop by here when seeking something to gift "people who have everything" and/or who have selective taste.

It's a "shop" that does what it does: fix lamps. They appear to sell a few items. I stopped in, which is required since you can't call them or communicate in any way except in person, to get a lamp controller fixed. I needed a simple soldering. They got it done quickly and I was on my way. It worked immediately upon me checking when I got home. It was easy to park on the street and get this done. I love small stores like this that take care of things the old fashioned way. I realize that some reviewers want all sorts of communication options, but for a store trying to do business, running a non-profit help hotline is not really a viable approach. I wish you lazy people would stop trashing businesses because you don't get free help. And you can actually still get free help if you stop in, it's just that you are cheap AND lazy.
