I'm glad I was able to see what they sell because they do have a lot of items and trinkets and just different things that I can see myself buying for others or even enjoying myself. They were nice enough to offer us a discount when we were in their store learning about their business so I definitely think you should stop. With it being the holiday season, they would be great for some last-minute gifts. I'm sure they have something in there that you'd like.

The showroom itself is beautiful and updated constantly to reflect the new arrivals and seasons. Staff is very helpful, Miss Scottlyn toured us around the floor and asked what we were interested in! I love that the staff wants to make thier pieces work with your existing home, and they're not going to try to sell you on an entire room of furniture. The merchandise itself is great, some prints of birds caught my eye, and I'm usually not a fan of mass-produced art at all. If you're looking for bed linens, this is a great place to check out! Comparable to Pottery Barn, but something a little bit different. Very happy to have Ballard in Birmingham, it's a great place to gather inspiration if nothing else.

This was my first visit and I was definitely impressed with the large selection of home decor both inside and out. Really unique pieces of furniture, art, rugs and appliances. The prices were in line with some of the other large decor warehouses, but also cheaper than the more high end designer warehouses or stores. Same quality but maybe a little dusty. I will definitely be returning to this warehouse for my home decor needs. By the way, they have all your flooring needs, as well.

I was gifted a gift card for HG, so I have been determined to use it up. I was able to do so on this visit. I found something for the kitchen and the dog! I know .... Fun!

So keep this in mind. Good customer service and competitive pricing are good reasons to visit here!

She called the manager over and he refused to even look at the receipt making something up about inventory. Even though when I purchased the rug at a different store the manager at the different store said there should be no problem with any returns as long as the store stocks rugs (which they do). Overall would say this store doesn't care about customer service and only cares about doing the least amount of work possible. Would try to stick to the Homegoods on 280.

There are some items that are very reasonable and some items that are on the much more expensive side, just depends on what you're after. The quality of everything seemed to be exceptional. And the rooms were set up really nicely. It's obvious that the people that have space here care about displaying their items well. Now this review does come a little late, we tried to stop by here the other day and walk around to find that the doors are closed and they are in the process of moving locations. Looking forward to the new spot and what they have to offer. Staff here were always friendly and helpful. You should for sure check them out when they get opened back up.

If you're looking for furniture, it's worth the drive to Encore. I heard of this place from a…read morecoworker and was so glad I decided to see for myself. Thw store includes new furniture and has booths that look like flea market booths. The best of both worlds! The furniture is beautiful and very reasonably priced. I had been looking at furniture at Restoration Hardware and I swear there were the same or extremely similar pieces for way less. The staff is nice and knowledgeable and many people asked if we needed help while we were there, but they did not linger unless we asked. We felt as though we could browse without a salesperson breathing down our necks. I live in Homewood and delivery from Encore to my zip code was $85, whether I bought 1 item or 10. Very much worth it in my opinion. I'm not sure if I found exactly what I was looking for on the day I visited, but I will absolutely be back and will be telling others to stop by when they're looking for furniture.

When we did go back recently the store had a bit of a remodel. It was nice, but just did not have the same feel as before. Prices on items tended to be a bit more hefty and the selection seemed more, how can I say,... "tan?" We went on a Saturday, which used to be a very busy time for them. But this time the store only had a couple of shoppers. Just couldn't put my finger on it, but it just didn't seem as interesting or inviting. The staff seemed a bit standoffish as well. I suspect if we are back down that way, we may stop by. Just don't think this will be a planned destination any longer.

It's a pretty big store, and there is a lot to see. I'm sure there are many fabulous items, but it's not really a place to "stop in and check it out." I think you have to both be in the mood/frame-of-mind to really look at everything and have the time to do it. You could very easily spend all day there. "Just browsing" isn't going to cut it. That said, I had neither the time nor the inclination to spend the time to really give it a good shopping. Instead I found it overwhelming, so I just politely walked most of the aisles only looking at the things that really jumped out at me. Because it was a Saturday, there seemed to be a number of vendors there, so I'm sure there are some interesting stories to be told, and they could surely help if you're searching from something specific.
