It's a destination by itself, but if you've got time, make a day of it by grabbing a gorgeous flower petal cake slice at the bakery next door, then walk around Little Italy (aka Restaurant Row) where you'll find lots of great choices for lunch & dinner. BUT FIRST SHOP -since hours are limited and you won't want to miss this shopping experience! You'll find lots of unique gifts, items to decorate your home, and even jewelry & scents that anyone would love to receive! I had way too much fun looking at every single thing in the store. If I could, I'd take it all. If you want a gift, invite me to your next party cuz I'm just dying to shop here again! On your way in, tell Sean I sent you! He's not only the owner, he's also the creative genius behind everything you see. So if you're looking for something special and don't see it, I'd check with him to see if he can order it.

Our commercial freezer finally died on a Saturday, so we were scrambling to figure out how to get a…read morenew one ASAP. We went to craigslist and found the brand-new freezer that we needed, and it was local at Tableware International in National City (not in Valencia or Riverside like many of the posts)! We left a message over the weekend, and the helpful Steve called us back on Monday. We took care of the transaction over the phone, and Steve coordinated our setup, delivery, and pick up of our old freezer. Within 48 hours of speaking to Steve, we now have a great new freezer and a lot less worry. Highly recommended!

I really wanted to have a positive experience with this company because things started off well…read more The staff initially seemed helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, things began to fall apart shortly before finalizing my cabinet order. My final renderings were never properly completed. One entire room was missing from the plans, and major updates that were requested - including switching from frameless to framed cabinets (which affects cabinet sizing) - were never reflected in the drawings. It became very difficult to get in touch with anyone to finalize the order or receive updated plans. Eventually I went into the store in person, where Liad offered to "fix and finalize" everything on the spot. He manually drew out the new layout and entered the order on his phone, assuring us he was taking care of everything. However, no formal layout, purchase order, item list, cabinet sizes, or updated renderings were ever provided. I was told we could rely on the existing renderings and that getting formal updates from the designers would take too long. After paying, we heard nothing until my contractor informed me that cabinet boxes were being delivered. The delivery arrived without any paperwork, purchase order, or layout for my contractor and cabinet installer to reference. Once installation began, we discovered multiple issues: missing items, incorrect cabinet sizes, missing panels, and accessories that were the wrong size. Trying to resolve these problems was extremely frustrating. It was again difficult to reach Liad until we went back into the store. He repeatedly asked us to provide a list of what needed to be fixed, but that was difficult because we were never given a purchase order or layout showing what was actually ordered. What stood out most was the change in demeanor. Conversations that were initially helpful became defensive and dismissive. At one point he even questioned whether our installers "knew what they were doing," and suggested modifying cabinets to make incorrectly sized accessories fit instead of addressing the ordering mistakes. At this point I have had to purchase replacement panels, shelves, and accessories out of pocket from another cabinet store just to keep the project moving. Both my contractor and cabinet installer -- as well as staff at the other cabinet supplier -- were shocked by the experience and confirmed that this is not how a cabinet ordering process should work. My advice if you choose to work with this company is to triple-check everything and get all documentation in writing before paying. Make sure you receive final drawings, a purchase order, item numbers, and cabinet dimensions. It's unfortunate to have such a stressful experience during what should be an exciting part of a home remodel. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this business. There are many other cabinet suppliers that provide clearer communication and proper documentation.

I also asked the employee if she was okay after that interaction and she said yes and told me that the lady was the only mean one to her since she started and the staff is always nice. All the managers are very nice so I don't know why they would hire her or allow her to talk to employees like that. This place is normally happy place everyone is happy but that was the first time I've had any encounter or witness anything like that. Extremely sad and rude of that manager shame on her.
