Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE household/home goods stores and kitchen wares, particularly…read more I'm not an adventurous cook but I LOVE cooking shows and I aspire to be better, always better. For me, home decorating and organizing is fun, and cooking and baking are fun. So it goes without saying that I ADORE stores like this, that has all the tools - and then some - for cooks and bakers. I was here before Christmastime and, wow, they had SO many awesome gift ideas for people who cook or who like gourmet foods, or special gadgets, or smaller home decor items. I was overwhelmed, to be honest, wandering about like a kid in a huge candy store. So many things that I didn't even know what they were, very niche ingredients and kitchen tools. gorgeous linens, imported foods and specialty ingredients. You'd be hard-pressed to NOT find any kitchen item you are in the market for here. I liked the lay-out of this place, too. Despite it being cavernous inside (it IS a warehouse, after all!), it's laid out in a welcoming way, with various delineated areas, wide-ish aisles, and helpful staff around to ask questions if needed. I also liked that there is a large parking lot here, too (shared with the adjacent No Frills). Bonus! My one caveat: unlike the other folks who've written reviews of this place, I found the prices of items here to be on the high side. Granted, they are were very niche and/or high-end and /or imported and all were of high high quality (big names, well-reputed brands). But pricey. Granted, I visited here at prime shopping season; perhaps they have sales at other times of the year. That said, even with the high prices, I still purchased some gifts that I've not seen elsewhere, and for specialty, unique items, I think it's worth it. Even if you aren't a cook or baker or "foodie", this place is still worth a visit, just to wander and be amazed at what's out there. This is an amazing place. And you never know what you'll discover!

I first started shopping at Utsuwa-No-Yakata when they had a store in Kent, WA. When that closed,…read moreI was in such dismay missing the quality Japanese-ware at very reasonable costs. I was very delighted when I discovered the shop at Aberdeen Centre, with the same spread and even some high end items in the back. Awesome! I have quite a collection from this store. Mostly bowls of all sorts, different diameters, depths, and slope of walls that I use for salads, ramen, pasta, and serving bowls. I also have (too many) of their boxed small condiment bowls that I use for the dining table and for soaps and trinkets. They are so pretty with high quality glazes. I have an affinity for girly colors, which unfortunately, that selection is limited. The normal colors are blue with whites and dark shades, according to the sales lady. If they have a wider color palate, this would be a 5 stars experience for sure. They do have a couple that have pink cherry blossoms and/or bunnies. There's nothing like eating your meal from dishes that make you smile. I highly recommend this store. :) Check out the pieces in the back wall behind glass. They are for sale with prices to match the behind glass status. An exception is a few piggy-banks that are not piggy shape. Those would make nice gifts.

Most recently I found my favorite discovery yet: Styrofoam heads. But I've also bought a tray, plant soil, fabric dye, a random vase and a cutting board here. The glue in the latter unstuck after a year, yet the damage is mendable. The staff is always helpful and candle selection here is fragrant and varied. In addition to the street level madness (and the sidewalk boxes), there is also a basement level filled with plant pots and soil. Kitchen Corner was the only spot I could find soil in February in order to re-pot one of my ailing houseplants. The prices aren't really bargains, but the selection is quirky and gives that garage-sale feel without that coating of yard-sale crud.

The other companies were smooth talkers but it was The Brick that really came through for us. We saw their "comfort guarantee " on TV and they were true to their word. We exchanged our first mattress that didn't meet our needs for one that worked for us, and they even up-graded us to the new model at no extra charge. Good folks! Fair prices (if not better better than fair), great service and a very competent and friendly delivery crew. If you need a little extra help and are in the Richmond store, ask for one of the managers, Ram. A good guy who knows his products.

"FAKE Invoice" & "FAKE Tent Sale" Concerns -- The "Greatest FAKE Brick"(Richmond, BC)…read more I'm sharing a friend's experience so other customers can be cautious. During a recent purchase, my friend learned that the extended warranty is optional, yet the sales consultant (Alia) presented it as though it were required and "FREE". In negotiations, my friend felt pressured to add the warranty with a promise it would be "cashed back" after three years. This felt misleading and not transparent. Invoice accuracy: the delivery fee appeared as $89 when the correct amount should have been $44.50. Careful review caught the discrepancy and prevented overpayment. Other concerns: my friend was told to cancel a so-called "fake invoice" (an unusual term we haven't encountered elsewhere) and was urged to leave a 10% hold-back/deposit. There was also a "FAKE tent sale" promotion that, in my friend's view, didn't align with the pricing discussed. Tips for customers: ***Be cautious of sales tricks designed to pressure you -- remember, the money is in your control ***The warranty is optional not "FREE". If you consider it, get all promises (e.g., "cash back in 3 years") in writing. ***Verify every line of the invoice (prices, fees, delivery) before paying. ***Avoid any deposit/10%hold-back until the invoice exactly matches the agreed terms. ***If unusual terms like "fake invoice" are mentioned, ask for a written explanation and keep copies of all documents. Overall: Shop at "The FAKE Brick (Richmond, BC)" carefully, take your time go to other Furniture Stores and be alert if they put pressure into extras. Always double-check the paperwork before you leave.
