I've used Home at Merriment for a very large project as well as for smaller items from the store…read more Sarah, the owner, listened so well to our needs and style requests. She helped us pick out lighting fixtures, bathroom tile, wood flooring, bathroom fixtures and paint colors. She was so helpful and made suggestions regarding size and colors we wouldn't have normally considered but, so happy she did as we went with many of them. We also ordered a custom master king size bed where we were able to choose every detail and she helped us every step of the way. It's gorgeous!! Everything turned out perfectly. We've purchased home decor items and gifts at the store. Such unique and beautiful items. And the staff is always so friendly and helpful. We will use Home at Merriment for all of our design and home decor needs.

Surprisingly, I've found prices on most items to be much more reasonable than I'd come to expect after a lifetime of suckling at the teat of Bibelot and Patina. Usually carries lots of cottage-y type furnishings and whatnot, but as of today, November 12, unless you want Christmas decorations, you might want to give this a pass until the new year. Don't get me wrong; they're very nice decorations and very affordable, ranging from embroidered tea towels to garland to crystal ornaments and larger decor, but that's pretty much ALL that was there today. I'll definitely be back, but only when it's no longer a Christmas store.

Today I…read morepicked up a large online purchase and decided to purchase a Christmas cententepiece in the store. It appeared to be a customer return as everything was removed from the box and was repackaged. I noticef one of the bells was damaged. I asked politely for an additional discount. They said no and said "Do you want it or not!?" Interestly, just yesterday they were giving customers an additional 15% off Christmas. Hmm....how hard would it have been to make a loyal customer happy by simply offering a discount? Sorry Woodbury location, I will never set foot in your store again.

However---They had a display that was clearly marked 25% off (pretty much the entire store was on sale!) We spend over 100 there that day and I was attempting to purchase an item from the display that was under 10.00 and the checkout gal argued with me about it not being part of the sale. This pissed me off---it seriously was on the display and by the sign..It would have made a bigger impression on me to just shave off the 1.50 discount but she decided to be a bitch so I let them keep that item and will wait till it is on the 50 or 70 % off but get it from another location. I have been to other locations where they bend over backwards with friendliness this one is not one of them.
