I bought a garlic press that upon first use closed and would not open. Totally stuck. They would not take it back. And I bought a $300 coffee brewer from them. When it failed they would not take it back. I called the manufacturer and they sent me a refurbished unit. I took them the unopened refurbished unit back and they still would not take it back. Would not even offer store credit for it. Poor customer support. Sad to see, it is a nice store. Their customers are mostly tourists and they simply don't care about them.

Upon arrival, we saw that many of the items are just out in the elements, including wooden rocking chairs marked at $495! Old, deteriorating fire bowls priced over $1,000! It seems like the owner is a collector who isn't willing to part with his things, and therefore, prices them in such a way that they're all but guaranteed to remain onsite. Overall, disappointing.

I found myself drifting along Main Street in Highlands, North Carolina when I gazed upon the exterior of this lovely little shop. It was filled with quirky design pieces that appeal to lovers of shabby chic interiors, so I decided to look inside. If I were in shopping mode I might have lost my mind. Furnishings like these would fill my home inside and out if my pockets were deeper. There were several pieces that spoke to my individual taste and style, including a wonderful dining room table that would probably cost $2500 or more in Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn (I forgot to take a picture of it). When I inquired of the cost I was given a price of $1800, much less that I expected. I asked if it was made here in North Carolina, a state known for its quality furniture and the owners reply was "No, it came from Atlanta!" The irony caused me to laugh out loud. Little shops like this are what made my day visit to this charming little mountain town such a pleasure. I didn't have a need to make a purchase this time, but it's such a wonderful little town that Bardo gives me an easy reason to come back!
