Home Goods is a store that you may go to with some idea of what you want and are looking for. By…read morethe time you leave you may or may not have grabbed what you intended to. But at the same time you could very easily leave with an absurd variety of things that are surprisingly sold in the same store and if you aren't careful spend a small fortune. I mean there is a reason for awhile there was a trend online where people film videos asking a friend if they had "fill in the blank bizarre item" with friend then showing said bizarre item that did actually exist here. My wife and I enjoy coming here for spotting the absurd things they have for sale but also do find useful buys as well. Some of the stuff I am unsure how it ever sells though, like some of the pictures I have added. Prices can be hit or miss with some good deals but some prices seem overpriced. This is a store where some items even have their price versus what the typical retail price would be. I am skeptical of these due to the fact they could make up numbers to make it seem like a deal. If you are a fan of seasonal based items you will find a lot here with right now being fall versions of everything you can imagine. Honestly a store visiting even if you are just going to browse, you will likely find one oddity you want to buy. Be warned though this place also frequently has extremely long checkout lines especially close to the holidays.

So HomeGoods is just a Christmas Tree Shop, right? I read somewhere on Reddit that people consider…read moreit a "treasure hunt": the inventory is always changing, so people find gems and buy them on the spot because they're unsure if they'll ever see them again. But the stuff here is so generic, I don't know how that can be true. It's full of home furnishings like lights, mirrors, rugs, throw pillows, bedding, and various furniture, kitchen products like cookware and dinnerware, wall art that seems like it's printed from stock photos, loads of cheap seasonal decor, and very random food like chocolates you've never heard of, off-brand hot sauces, and random pickled produce. And there's stuff absolutely everywhere, quite literally overflowing from bins. For me, all I see here is store full of things that will eventually end up in the landfill. As a person who is overstimulated easily, errs on the side of minimalism, and makes purchases intentionally, this is not a shopping experience for me.

I was moving into a new apartment and needed a queen bed, two twin beds, mattresses, and a sofa…read more Shopped around a little and ended up at Bob's, where I had shopped for furniture previously. My experience has ended up being complicated and frustrating but there have been some bright spots. First, I stopped in and walked the store looking for some options. I picked a bed I really liked and spoke with an associate (Wendy) and a manager (Jay) who walked me through the process of ordering the bed and choosing a mattress. Unfortunately the bed was a few weeks delayed so only the mattress could be delivered on the Monday I'd be moving into my new place. I came back in with my kids so they could check out the twin beds and sofas and we could figure out what will work for them. The staff clearly figured out what we were doing and gave us space (other times various associates have approached me to try to start selling me shit, which I do not like - I prefer to browse and find someone when I am ready). Another day I returned and talked to another manager (Tyler) as I already knew what I wanted to get. He thankfully skipped the sales pitches and organized my order quickly. However he also said something odd - that they do not deliver on Mondays. So I was confused about when my mattress was actually coming. Then I got a phone call from the store asking if I wanted to move up my deliveries so they could be Tuesday (the day after my move). I said great! However, then they also said that the queen size bed I'd ordered was MONTHS away as opposed to weeks. I asked about the bed I remembered being my second choice, they said that one's unavailable too (why they have floor models that aren't available baffles me). They helped me select a similar bed over the phone though. Delivery day comes, the workers come and are very efficient and studious and there are a few communication issues as they didn't speak English well, but the big thing is that they couldn't fit my sofa in the elevator. I called customer service which gave me no options that could help me resolve the issue, and then called the store, and then went to the store in person to choose a different couch. Went right to Tyler and he and another manager (Skylar? Skyler?) worked to replace the item on my order. Later in the day I had second thoughts about my choice and went back to the store and chose a different couch, again thanks to Tyler. Were I to do this again, I'd have declined the fuckin goof proof nonsense, and opted for an outlet mattress instead of the bob-o-pedic one. Unfortunately it really depends on what associate/manager you talk to - some will sell you a bill of goods and others will actually help you.

I have tried THREE TIMES with living room furniture with Bob's. Their couches and recliners are a…read moredisaster. The metal underneath the reclining pieces broke, and the finish on the pieces, which the salesman said would last for ten years minimum, began wearing off within two years. When you pay thousands of dollars for furniture, you expect it to last for a while. I don't have the money to spend thousands of dollars every few years for my living room. Save your money and go to Lay-Z-Boy or somewhere similar. Their products last.

When we went we already knew what we wanted from browsing their online site, but we did a quick spin around to see if here was a better option. When we decided the online entertainment center that we viewed online was what we wanted we did a closer investigation of the item. We soon realized we would want additional holes in the back for wires. When we approached one of the sales rep about our question we were assured that they could make that happen right then and there. While we did another spin around the store the nice man took the center to the back of the store and made perfect 2 inch holes exactly where we wanted them. They even brought the item out and loaded it into my car for a hassle free experience. Too bad they didn't want to follow me up the interstate toy house to bring it up a flight of stairs and rethread all the wires. ;)

Even though we didn't buy anything, she helped us find a great local lobster restaurant, giving us three choices that locals prefer. Super nice lady! The goodies inside that I was most interested included a miniature tea set that said "Delft Pottery" on the bottom, some very old and tiny spoons, and pretty pocket watches. My uncle was looking for watch fobs, which she didn't have, but if you give her time, I bet she'll add them to her collection... I collect antique dolls and toys, and there were few of these items in her collection, but she did have a neat little trike from the turn of the century. It was just not what I was looking for at the time. Since the little shop didn't have exactly what we needed, I'll give four stars, but I want to say that the kind and friendly attitude of the lady running the store is worthy of five stars! Thank you, Megan A. for your kind advice on lobster restaurants!
