I have been so sad to see brick and mortar stores disappearing. I thought my Staples experience…read moremight be a bit rough - I needed to ship something and ended up on the basement level of the UWS Broadway store. A bit of a strange experience when I got off the elevator, but I made my way back to the shipping counter. Long line. The line moved very quickly, mostly because of the heroic efforts of one Staples employee named Virginia. Fast, friendly, SO helpful. She probably saved me $15 in shipping fees and, despite the looming line, took time to find the smallest box she could use to pack my things. She was patient as I fumbled my forms and was even nice to my old dog. I stopped and told the managers on my way out, and they were just as nice. Don't give up on brick and mortar stores! Kind staff make it so worth it, on every level. And Staples: Virginia needs a raise or a tip jar!!! She's the reason I will be back.

Freddy, a manager, was super helpful the whole time I was in the store, helped me find the items I needed, expedited my checkout process to make it as smooth as possible, and even loaned me a U-Boat to transport all of my items since there were no carts. The associate at printing services was also really nice, and got me the big order of copies I needed by the time I was done shopping. Super professional and friendly service, which makes all the difference.

Just like the other location on Broadway, this location is equally stocked and just as overpriced…read more It is the closest stationery/office supply store to my office, so if we run out of our bulk manila envelopes, or colored paper, etc. we typically run downstairs and to the left, to buy them at a much higher price at Ivy League Stationers. That said, they basically have any and all of your basic office needs: ink, toner, assorted paper (colors and sizes), notebooks, envelopes, and so on. You aren't getting anything special here, but because they put the words "Ivy League" in their name, they feel obligated to overcharge you. Not to mention, where else you gonna go around these parts? They've kinda got a monopoly going in this 3/4 mile radius, so good for them...bastards. Anyway, I ran in today to grab some new Moleskine notebooks for my daily musings, goals, and snarky remarks. Cost me $37.99 for a 3-pack of black ruled notebooks (L), 2-pack of periwinkle/navy combo ruled notebooks (pocket-sized) and 4 colored ball point pens. Yay for me, boo for my bank account.

Anyone knows a very good office chair will cost a pretty penny, but I can confirm that it's very…read moremuch worth the money. I been eyeing Herman Miller and other fancy office chairs for awhile as I was getting sick of sitting on cheaper office chairs that just hurt the bum after many hours. As a designer, sitting in front of a computer all day long, a good chair was imperative. I waited way too long to get one, but I'm very glad to invest in a Herman Miller. The selection at this store was great. I was tempted by alot of their modern furniture on display. The office chair selection is prettt vast. I ended up getting the Sayl, which was expensive, but just under that $1k mark that most of their chairs cost. You're wondering why so expensive, but trust me, a Herman Miller will last a lifetime. You're better off spending a lot of money on a furniture that will last than buying cheap furniture every other year. I've been quite happy with the Sayl so far. It's very comfy and the back is very flexible and comfortable when leaning. The height is fully adjustable. The process of ordering a chair was easy. They aren't in stock at the store, so you put in an order for it. There are some colors that also aren't readily available and may take longer. All in all, great furniture store, and I've been more than happy with the chair I got. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for quality home and office furniture.
