After reading all these reviews, I was a bit skeptical of this shop, but we needed lanai loungers…read more We ended up buying two beautiful rattan chairs with ottomans covered in Regal's Honolulu Sunset fabric. We enjoyed talking to Isaac (who is a character) and Natasha was gracious. Many people come to Hawai'i expecting to purchase furniture like they do on the mainland, but it's different here. The island relies on shipping barges so we need to practice Aloha and be patient. Small business owners are often between a rock and a hard place (esp with looming tariffs) nowadays with sky-high rent and demanding customers who are also tense. At Island Collections, you won't find a better selection of rattan furniture on the Big Island, especially at this price. Isaac communicates very directly and I appreciate that quality.

We were finally ready to buy And had gone to another local furniture store. Not seeing what we liked or could afford, we headed to The Minds Eye and were greeted with a smile by Rachel Sherman. We explained what we were looking for as well as our needs In both style & quality. Rachel made numerous suggestions & we were able to find just what we wanted. We were able to make arrangements to have a furpture delivery based on when we sell our current furnitur there was no problem getting our furniture as all of it was in stock in their warehouse in Kona. We sold our rattan furniture quickly & the furniture was delivered 5 days later. Great service, beautiful furniture. We will be going there again when we are ready to redo the next room.

I had a very negative experience with Big Island Living and would caution doing business with this…read morebusiness and owner, Courtney. About a month ago, I ordered two furniture pieces and paid a 50% deposit, with the understanding I would pay the remaining balance when the items arrived. While I was in the store, I witnessed another customer ask about a kamaʻāina discount and paying cash to avoid taxes, and the salesperson agreed. I then asked if I could do the same. The salesperson told me that with a Hawaiʻi driver's license, I qualified for a kamaʻāina discount. The salesperson offered to refund my deposit so I could pay cash after the discount was applied when the furniture arrived, and I agreed. Later, I was contacted by the owner (Courtney), who told me they do not offer a kamaʻāina discount and that paying cash was the "discount." That is not what was explained to me in-store. When I asked that the agreement made by their salesperson be honored, it was refused. Instead, I was repeatedly told that the kamaʻāina discount (which they dont offer!!) referred to tax savings, which was never how it had been presented at the time of purchase. I questioned why I needed a Hawaii Drivers License then? Anyone can pay cash! During that call, Courtney ended the conversation after stating she would not honor what had been communicated in-store and had nothing further to discuss. Because of how this situation was handled, I chose not to move forward with the transaction. Potential customers should be wary of what felt like bait-and-switch terms and unethical business practices. What is communicated at the point of sale may not be what is ultimately honored. This experience felt misleading, reflected poor business practices, and completely eroded my trust.

Whether you're local or visiting Kona, Nana's Clay Flowers is a must, especially if you're looking…read morefor a unique, handmade gift for yourself or someone else. The artistry of these clay flowers is like nothing we've ever seen anywhere else. They look so real! From orchids to plumeria, hibiscus to bird of paradise (and more), you'll do a double take when you realize these flowers are in fact sculpted from clay! My husband and I walked in last Nov and met Tara who was in the process of preparing the clay to sculpt a new flower. We paused to watch and she kindly told us about her process and even gave me a small hibiscus she literally made in under 5 minutes! Mahalo again, Tara! I keep that perfect little mini flower on display at home along with a couple of other flowers we bought that day, and they always makes me smile :) Friends & fam who we gifted flowers to also loved theirs! Think about it, you'll never have to water the flowers, they'll stay vibrant and perfect forever, and you'll have a beautiful memento of Kona/Hawaii that's 100% better than anything you'd find in an ABC Store or other generic souvenir shop (and those items are usually not even made in Hawaii).
