It has lots of interesting items, like the very best gift shop you would get in a place like Cape Code. They have, for example, very good cocktail mixes, air plants, kits to cook things like pretzels or fermented hot sauce, interesting kitchen gadgets, and very pretty home decor items like cutting boards and ornaments. Also quite a few interesting games and a lot of aromatherapy and scented candle things. They carry Needham specific items too, like tea towels that say "Real Housewives of Needham" and nice things too. They also sells a lot of vinyl floor coverings, which are also far nicer than you would expect. I might get one as a table covering. A great small business and a great place for gift or holiday shopping.

I didn't even know if they could be repaired or would have to be replaced. I was warmly greeted by Lynn, who assured me the window treatments could definitely be repaired and would not need replacement for a long time. She scheduled a repair appointment for next week. It was such a relief to find excellent customer service!

I cannot recommend HomeTrends based on my recent experience…read more I scheduled an in-home appointment to have 12 windows measured. No one showed up, and I was left waiting at home with no apparent notice that the appointment would not be kept. I contacted HomeTrends afterward and expressed my frustration about the missed appointment and the time I had wasted. I was initially told they would arrange for someone else to come out. Instead, the owner subsequently told me that it would be better for me to take my business to another blinds company and that they no longer wanted to work with me. That response surprised me. A missed appointment can happen. What mattered more to me was how the company handled it afterward. Rather than apologizing, taking responsibility, and trying to make things right, their solution was essentially to tell the customer to go elsewhere. There are plenty of companies selling and installing window treatments. Based on my experience, I would choose one that is more reliable, respects its customers' time, and makes customers feel that their business is valued. BTW, they did tell me if I wrote a negative review that "I was a bad person". Well, this review is only intended to give you, the consumer, an insight to my experience. I am not sure that constitutes me as being a "bad" person, but again maybe insight to how HomeTrends perceives upset customers verse working out an amendable solution.
