Pricy, but so fun to walk through and admire the beautiful pieces. They arrange the furniture…read moreperfectly. Plus the store is much larger than it appears. There were multiple rooms, all nicely decorated. Most focused on furniture, women's apparel, and gifts. Some rooms with products from other boutiques, one with bird baths and seed, and another with sale items. The employees seem to all be good friends and enjoy their job, which is refreshing to see. They host events, for instance, Christmas tree decorating. I think we arrived just after an event since they had drinks and snacks out. Overall, we enjoyed walking through this shop and recommend it to others!

Unique ***** Modern *****…read moreQuality ***** Variety **** Expertise *** Hard sell *** Parking ***** Location ** Price * (high) Different from other Raleigh stores (Haverty's, Bassett, Ethan Allen, La-Z-boy, Rooms to Go, etc.); Ambiente's furniture is all high-end, modern, cutting edge designs, unique pieces. Every other store has stodgy, traditional pieces that are so boring. (Basset's idea of cutting edge is offering memory foam cushion options.) At least Ambiente is fun and interesting to browse. If you're looking for an Ekornes Stressless chair, Ambiente has the best display of multiple colors and styles. FYI, those chairs are $3k each; most leather chairs cost just as much now. I have 2 Ekornes chairs that are 10 years old, extremely comfortable, still in style, and look brand new. I was shocked to see how much furniture prices have increased post-covid, and good luck getting custom pieces in less than 9-12 mos. due to supply chain issues. Most places don't sell showroom models, either. Buy "made in NC" for faster (yet still slow) delivery. Most of Ambiente's pieces are made overseas. I was looking for a sofa sectional. The first one I saw was beautiful. Price tag showed $11K. Who can afford a sofa that costs more than a car? I found a suitable sofa sectional at Bassett, but I left the store after I found out it was $8K. "It's 30% off!" Down from 10K. Since furniture costs are so high now, you might as well pick something you like enough to keep for decades. I even shopped online for sofas and discovered they are junk not made to last long but suitable for a first apartment.

This place is absolutely amazing! The plant selection is endless. They even have bee-keeping…read moresupplies as well. Every person we spoke with was knowledgeable and very courteous. One very kind worker even walked around with my wife looking for a particular plant before realizing they didn't have it. Additionally, they have a wide selection of pots and gardening tools.

This store opened fairly recently at Crabtree Valley Mall and it's awesome!!!…read more I walked in and did not want to leave, it smells so good in there and the music was great. They sell a ton of scented oils, name a scent and they have it. That day they were burning a strawberry vanilla fragrance that had a delicious smell. They also have less pleasant fragrances, such as one that starts with a P and ends with a Y and might be fit a guy who claims to be a ladies man. They were playing some really good salsa and sell the CDs of the music they play.They have lots of cool and uncommon items such as a nice selection of masks perfect for a masquerade, they're beautiful. My friend bought a couple just for kicks. They sell wrap skirts and dresses that are great for summer, they can be worn different ways and are made of pretty textiles. There's a selection of hats and I had to get a floppy one. They also sell jewelry, hookahs and a list other items too long to name.

Needed a more quiet space to get some work done for about an hour, but once a table opened up the table next to it had some loud talkers and it was not conducive to focused work. The staff is nice and helpful. They seem to always have a smile! The coffee is great. Always fresh. The bakery items are good too! I have tried about half of their regular fare and they never disappoint. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is it seems some people camp out there to get work done for hours on end. It makes those of us who want to just get out of a normal office setting to enjoy some coffee and a snack have a hard time finding a spot. Other than that, love the casual vibe and change of pace.

They're unorganized and messy, but man, is it fun to find a good bargain! Yes, there's more junk than useful items. However, they do carry lots of name brand items for cheap. I don't know why I buy from retailers at full price, Ollie's is where it's at!! From Yankee Candle to Olay and everything in between, you bet your bottom dollar that you're going home with something...and if you're not, you didn't spend enough time browsing. Here are just a few things I've gotten from Ollie's: a Stephen King graphic novel of The Dark Tower for less than $4, a secret Santa gift filled with journals, crayons, colored pencils, and two drawing pads (don't forget the gift bag, tissue paper, AND a card) for less than $15, Yankee candle melts for less than $2, a Yankee candle oil diffuser for less than $4, a large bag of brand-name veggie chips for less than $2, St. Ives body wash for less than $3, a Febreze car plug in for less than $1. I can go on and on. Ollie's has discounts and it's super easy to spend at least an hour here while you bargain shop. The staff here are very nice! There were two cashiers and one floor staff and they all greeted me nicely and were very friendly. Is Ollie's a disaster? Yes. Are the floors uneven and unfinished? YUP. Are you going to save money? Absolutely. It's chaotic good, my guys!

I have been to several garden shops in the area and this is the most expensive. Even their discounted items are still pricy. I ended up not buying anything and visiting a different garden shop. I was able to find most of what I needed here and more but they were not worth the price. I do like how organized the shop is. Having so many plants can't be easy to keep organized and healthy. I like how things are labelled and their large selection. Discount sections are nice and so is the free parking. The center was easy to locate and park. I was surprised to find an expansive garden shop in downtown Raleigh. Overall, we enjoyed walking through the shop, but found the prices too expensive.
