Customer Service representatives Sheena and Shalonda responded immediately, and made what could have been a highly frustrating and negative experience very positive, and presented the face of a company that appreciates the value of solid customer service and what benefits that brings to the company. The damages to our 6-drawer dresser will be made whole thanks to the efforts of these two excellent representatives of Homemakers. I cannot express enough what a positive experience this was despite some challenges with the shipping contractor. Would order from Homemakers.com again without reservation.

There is a wonderful variety of merchandise that would please a diverse array of shoppers....jewelry, clothing, kitchen items, large assortment of beautiful French tablecloths, home decor and much more. I bought two great necklaces made from Tagua seeds from Ecuador. I just love them and have received many compliments when I wear them. They are so attractive and unique. I also purchased a gorgeous rectangular French tablecloth in blues and yellows and some cute kitchen towels. In my shopping I also acquired a stylish top with a lacy edge and a fishnet type top to go with it. The shopkeeper also has many artistic wind chimes for your patio. Mine has a metallic dragonfly and colorful beads. If you can't make it to her shop, she also has a stall at the awesome Des Moines Farmers Market every Saturday for 6 months of the year. That's another thing that you should definitely experience! What a great little shop, full of such interesting things! Wish it was in my city!

I didn't make it a priority, but I have recently had the most amazing experience by being in the store. It is affordable unique, and the options to choose from were fantastic.

I will definitely be going back because there were at least a dozen other things I wanted to buy, but couldn't afford because of the purchase I had already made I think anyone that walks in there will find something to purchase that they absolutely have to have or is perfect for gifts for others and if you miss this, it's on you because you've missed some thing that is absolutely fantastic. Great job to the owners for making a store be an adventure. Thank you.
