While in Uxbridge last Saturday, we managed to find two stores that were open before 5 pm. One of…read morethem was this store. "Let's go check out Presents," my friend said. "Sure. What's the name of this store?" I asked. "It's Presents Presents Presents," she said, pointing up at the sign. I didn't even notice the sign it at all. I was happy that a store was open! The owner is female. She said hi and left us to browse. I love a good gift store. This one is excellent. You can find anything for that special someone, from rum recipes on a glass, to asking your burning question to a listening alien. It's a whimsical, quirky store. It has my approval stamped all over it. It was great seeing Lug bags. I love and Lug them. There is also a Canadiana section where you can get moose greeting cards, sorry paperweights, and much more. If you are a tea drinker, you can find an assortment of Tealish loose-leaf teas. You can also get accessories, such as tea spoons, tea bag holders, teapots, and more. This section made me happy. I ended up getting a couple of small items. A cute emperor penguin bookmark caught my attention. It's super sturdy and has a nice emperor penguin on it, with details about it. The other item was a handbag holder. It has a panda on it. You basically rest the base on a table and the hook dangles over the edge for your bag. I tried it later in the day and it worked well. The woman was nice. I paid with my debit card. I also skipped getting a bag because my items fit in my purse. I thanked her and we left the store. It's a cool store. I love it. I look forward to returning. (309)

I purchased a number of garage cabinets being the first time I purchased from NewAge. On receiving…read morethe cabinets I found the craftsmanship, the quality and value was second to none. I was honestly surprised of the detailed quality of cabinets and moreover the thought rendered and engineering of each cabinet. Virtually every aspect of putting the cabinets together were thoroughly thought through and made assembly a breeze All that said New Age Customer Service were phenomenal. Think of it, a customer service department that not only answers emails but actually thinks ahead and makes recommendations to better the experience. I actually was asked if I'd like a refund for an inconvenience. The customer service are as phenomenal as their product line. This was my first purchase but assure you it will not be my last. I'm now looking at their outdoor product line. New Age has set a new and very welcomed standard that other retailers should follow.

I want to share my experience with this company: I ordered…read moremany products to build and outdoor kitchen and received the shipment. But my contractor could not install it due to some unforeseen circumstances. When we opened the boxes months later we noticed that the refrigerator was missing. I did not expect anything from the company since it was my fault most probably that I did not check the shipment correctly or the refrigerator was stolen or something else. I still contacted with the company just to ask them if they could check if they sent the item. They checked and confirmed that it was sent. But surprisingly they sent me a replacement free of charge as a compliment. The customer service by BHARATI was very timely, effective, courteous and responsive. She called me and sent emails enough times about this ticket and for other purchases I placed later and a couple delivery problems. I don't know about the products' quality or durability as they are still not installed but I am very confident if I have further problems the company will stand by their products. Overall, great company, greater customer service and greatest representative.

I have had a couple of bad experiences where when I go to pay they mark the sticker price up significantly. It's not pleasant when you have to bring this to their attention and I've had to do it a couple of times. I have also had them quote me a price on a house plant where there is no sticker price one week and when I went back in for a 20% off sale, the price of the same plant had doubled. They are a small business and try to gouge you at the till. Buyer beware!

Union Lighting is known to have the most lighting selection in all of Toronto. We came here to get…read moreinspiration and to check out some lighting IRL instead of just me imagining through Pinterest. We wanted some statement lights over our dining table and kitchen counters. I don't understand why there are such low ratings here. I'm sure many people here are just browsing, and I rather have a sales rep give us the space and only come to us if we need help and seriously find a piece we're considering. So I have no issues with how no one really came up to us. There's a lot of lighting, but personally, not enough contemporary/modern lighting to our liking. We did take some pictures of the few we liked that are more contemporary-inspired. However, we don't love it enough to pull the trigger. The prices for the lighting are very high for the ones we looked at, about $1500 (for that round chandelier) to $5600 (Criss Cross silver lighting). We liked the look of the round chandelier the most. To our surprise, our neighbour has the same one. So loses that unique appeal. Also don't know how we would change the light if it burns out? Lighting is all personal preference. This trip nothing really screamed "this is the one" for us. If you're into other design themes like traditional, industrial, mid-century modern etc, you may find there is more to your liking than the modern/contemporary styles here. I still recommend to check it out though for yourself if you're in the market for lighting.

This salesperson couldn't give me the time of the day even though I just bought a light fixture that costs more than $1k.

Mark, you'll be seeing me again soon. I've just aquired another property that needs the…read moreceiling-mounted hardware. Window owners everywhere, this is a window covering solution you won't find at any hardware store. If you have a ceiling or bulkhead that sits directly on top of the window frame -- that is, there's no wall space between the top of the frame and the ceiling -- you've probably done what everyone does in that situation: mount a half-moon style rod hook on the frame itself. So you know what happens: you can see the top of the frame above the top of the curtains, and you get a line of light coming in at the top, because the curtains can't sit high enough to cover the whole window. Well, Mark's got an app for that. :-) Ask him for the ceiling-mounted rings. They come in all the same colours as the rods. Oh, and you MUST buy the rods, too. You know the kind you get in hardware stores, the expandable kind? You know how they sag in the middle because they're not sturdy? And how your curtains get stuck in the gap? And then you have to pull too hard on them, and the next thing you know you've ripped that cheap rod hook right out of the wall? Well, so far, I've bought... let me count in my head...six sets of solid rods and ceiling supports from Mark, and they're the greatest things. I keep showing all my clients and tenants, and they're amazed they've never seen such a simple curtain solution anywhere before. I tell them, just go see Mark at The Drapery King.

One of their sales reps told us we could buy a curtain to take home and then exchange it if it wasn't the right colour even though it's in PERFECT condition. Had them cut rods but they weren't cut properly even though the measurements were CORRECT and they won't do anything about it. Thought about having them install curtains too but when we realized that Mark, the owner, chooses (on a whim or based on how he's feeling that day) who gets a better price for such services, we opted out. It's hard to support small businesses when this is how they run their business - especially when it's something custom and so specific like curtains, rods, etc!
