One of the only large thrift stores in Kingston, other than Value Village (and a couple of…read moreconsignment shops). I generally enjoy shopping here, but one thing I notice here compared to Value Village is the clothing here is usually in worse condition. Do they not check over the merchandise when pricing? It seems any time I find something good, something's wrong with it. I came this morning and found a nice Roots pullover (score!) but when I looked closer there was a purple stain all over the front. Then I found a Wilfred Diderot sweater ($98 value), but noticed a large rip in the arm. I know it's a second hand store but come on, we don't want ruined merchandise. I will say that I like that the fitting rooms let you take in 9 items, rather than just 6 at Value Village. Overall it's an OK spot for thrifting, but they need to do better on quality control.

I feel like second hand items that were donated should be a lot cheaper. I found a shirt in the…read morechildren's clothes with javex discoloration on it marked $3.99. When asked if they would reduce that they offered to take off a dollar. I could go to Walmart and by a BRAND NEW TOP for $4! Anyday of the week. What happens to kids clothes being .50c - $1.00 ?? None ONE article was less than 3.99

A Let Down. I was so excited to find this decor shop in…read moredowntown Kingston, as I prefer to shop locally instead of at big box stores. I found a great faux fiddle leaf tree and tried it out in the space I was looking to fill in my bedroom. After trying it here and several other locations I decided I wanted to return it. I called several times last week to try and make sure I would be able to return it, as this tree is about 6' tall and is very difficult to transport. I finally left a voicemail on their machine on Sunday. They got back to me on Monday saying I would need the receipt and in 15 days of purchasing. At the time I couldn't find the receipt, but went searching and found it. My boyfriend took the first part of the morning off work to help me transport it, as we both work until 6:00pm (when the store closes). When I brought it in the sale person said we also needed an additional receipt that had some 25 digit code on it. She showed us an example of one at the cash, which was stapled to the credit receipt. My receipt had no staple marks in it, and we inquired as to why mine may have not been stapled as well- also why I was not told about this particular receipt I needed. Mine says "Amanda's House of Elegance" on it and shows the price of the item. I don't think it was fair to turn us away. I must say, I was extremely disappointed in the service. This item was almost $300.00. I am clearly a potential customer that is willing to buy high end items. I would have expected better service and more willingness from the staff to satisfy the customer. Though I prefer to shop locally, I will not be returning to this store. I can't see how this business could ever compete with stores like Homesense (which has a 30 day return policy) or Pier 1 (which has a 45 day return policy) with no hassle and additionally has much more competitive pricing.

I was drawn to this cute, curated, jewelry shop the previous night when I walked by. It was just…read moreabout closing time, so I didn't bother going in, but made a mental note to visit it the next time I was downtown! Space itself is deep and narrow. Jewelry ranges from costume to fine, as per another review cz to diamonds. Staff were around, asked if I needed any help, but I wished they had offered more info as to whether jewelry were from local artisans, where they get their stuff, etc. Other than aesthetics, not sure how stuff was organised. However, the costume jewelry was probably in the open, more accessible dressers whereas the silver/gold jewelry, esp. with diamonds, in the cases, at the back of the store. They have really nice pieces and I wished that I had more time to pick out a ring for myself!

Such a darling little shop in Kingston…read more Stopped in to browse their jewellery on a day in town. They offer mostly modern sterling silver pieces with varying price points. The materials range from cubic zirconia to real diamonds. The piece I loved the most also happened to be one of the most expensive in the store (turns out it was white gold and diamonds). But was oh so pretty - may have to treat myself next time I come back to visit.

It's small, but it has all the usual cookie-cutter mall stores: Reitmans, The Bay, Sears, Call it Spring, Le Chateau, Claire's, The Body Shop, etc. They do have a Sephora though! But don't be expecting Kate Spade, Ted Baker or Coach! They do have some unique non-chain stores like a place called "Neat Things" and some independent hair salons. At the time of the writing of this review they are undergoing renovations, so maybe they are expanding (?) or modernizing (?). Some parts of the mall look a little dated, but some parts are more modern. The food court is large and looks newer. It's ok to poke around in, but it's definitely not a destination mall.
