So String Lights LA installed back yard string lights for me about 2 1/2 years ago. My experience…read morewith them was stellar and we love our lights. They have been perfect and I have only ever needed to change one bulb. But I opened the back door a couple of days ago and two of the strings had fallen -- the hook holding them to the house had pulled out of the stucco. I immediately called and Nick was amazing. He asked for a couple of pictures of what had happened and had someone out here today (48 hrs later) to fix it. Alex texted with an accurate ETA and the job got done perfectly. I have recommended String Lights LA over and over again, and this just confirms my confidence in them. Professional, polite and competent. No wonder they are still around! Thanks.

A wonderful company and a pleasure to work with. They are very responsive, well priced, and do…read moregreat work. Will definitely use again.

Ten Thousand Villages is a fair-trade shop that carries merchandise from at least thirty-eight…read morecountries. It is woman-owned and displayed the LBGTQ+ Pride Flag in its window. Here you can find a wide variety of hand-crafted goods. And there is quite a myriad of objects on display. There are a large number of hand-woven bags, rugs and tapestries for use or display (or both). One wall is almost entirely devoted to jewelry. And there's a very large collection of pottery, including bowls, dishes and coffee mugs. This place is an excellent place to shop for those who are intrigued by foreign cultures. And the prices are extremely reasonable. And besides for being reasonable, you can find nice pieces in the under ten dollar range, well into the one hundred and fifty or more. There really is something for any budget. I was greeted when I entered the store and asked if I needed help...but was not asked every five minutes (something that I see as a major plus). Check out was a breeze with the clerk on duty. I will definitely come again.

I was on my way for groceries after my shift when I saw this cute shop that shares a parking lot,…read morebut with just about 20 minutes left until closing time. The manager Laurel was so kind and welcomed me in! She answered all of my questions and explained to me how to the items are sourced and selected for the shop. This is a BEAUTIFUL shop with the most incredible selection of affordable gifts and treasures. Bright, cheery, and well-organized. I didn't intend to buy so much, but I found something for each member of my family and a few friends, too. My favorites were the ornaments, children's area, kitchen items (aprons, dish towels) and the beautiful jewelry!! I had so much fun browsing and I am thrilled with my purchases. Thank you, Laurel! You are running a fab shop here in Pasadena and I can't wait to return!

Roy has been great from the beginning, without aggressively pushing minimum pricing, but asking…read morewhat I'm looking for first. He drew out the designs based on the picture of my house, and was fast to respond the entire time. I sent a deposit to secure the installation, but we unfortunately decided to go the other way. Roy was prompt with refunding the deposit. If his customer service is this great, I have no doubt that his installations are immaculate (and the other reviews show it!)

I visited Vroman's Bookstore during a girls trip to Pasadena, and it turned out to be such a fun…read moresurprise. We initially expected a typical bookstore, but it's so much more than that. As one of the oldest independent bookstores in California, it has a really special charm. Inside, there's a wine bar, a coffee shop, and even a cute gift shop upstairs, which makes it easy to spend a lot of time browsing and relaxing. While I was there, I got to listen to an author present her book and answer questions, which added such a unique and memorable touch to the visit. The store was busy, and you could really feel how much people enjoyed being there. The layout is well organized, making it easy to find books by genre. Upstairs, there's a spacious children's section, which is great for families. I also loved the section featuring Orson Welles books and posters. It was a really cool and unexpected addition. Overall, Vroman's is more than just a bookstore as it's an experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Always a great night out to hear from authors. There's usually something interesting going on…read moreupstairs or in the wine bar! Let's do the numbers. PARKING There's a free lot out back. Plenty of spaces for everyone. SELECTION there's more than enough for me in my regular sections, but there are tons of sections I don't usually peruse. Like "wind chimes" and "backpack" sections . If you're looking, they even have snacks for your next read STAFF super helpful and friendly. If they don't know your book (they do), they'll ask a coworker who will know it and have all the extra details you didn't know to ask for. PRICE better than affordable: Supportive! (Readers and writers communities) SPACE There are a ton of accessible open aisles. Huge space outside (maybe for outdoor events?)

I always find great things at this place. Love the feel love everything they have in the shop.read more

Texted to get a quote for Christmas Light Installation for our 1200 square foot home and garage…read more Specifically requested lights that were on perimeter of roof and the pitch of roof and even provided a sample photo. I also instructed him as to where outlets were located to be used to plug in lights.The price was negotiated, he would provide lights, extension cords and timers. Also the work was completed while we were out of town. Returned home to see that only 2 sides of the house had lights working. One strand had a missing bulb. The garage was not connected with power and also the lights that did work were plugged into an outlet that so the extension cords was visible from my livung room windows and in back patio instead of being hidden if he were to use outlet I requested. In the end I paid $500 for 2 strands of lights with a bulb out and garage lights with no power. I definitely feel scammed. I texted and called multiple times and made myself available multiple days with me being late for work as he promised to return and fix and I am still waiting nothing has been fixed.

They came prepared with samples and concepts made to fit the style and design I was after. From there they took over and exceeded my expectations by far. Frank is professional and very kind.

Thank you to Frank and Victor for making my house the main attraction of the block. Clean up was wonderful and the overall experience made Christmas even more special!
