My wife and I happened to wander into the Williams-Sonoma in Manhattan Beach last Sunday with no…read moreparticular mission other than to browse. I was immediately drawn to the espresso machines. Don't ask! We were greeted right away and exchanged a few pleasantries before continuing to look around. A little later, a woman who I think may have been the manager mentioned that Jonathan was their espresso machine expert and introduced us. Jonathan was friendly, knowledgeable, and immediately offered us a drink. "How about a cold brew?" Absolutely! I've been considering a De'Longhi fully automatic espresso machine for quite a while, and Jonathan took the time to answer my questions without any sales pressure. He helped me narrow down the models and gave me the confidence that I know exactly what I'll be buying when I'm ready. This trip was for gift shopping, so nothing came home for me this time, but I'll definitely be back. I've always liked Williams-Sonoma, and this visit reminded me why. Great products, knowledgeable associates, and genuinely helpful service. Thanks, Jonathan! 5 stars.

Who would have known you could come to William and Sonoma and choose from an absolute bunch of olive oil gems? The CSA (CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL STAR) of this experience was none other than Teresa-pictured. Teresa not only pointed me to the second option for the Olive oil, but showered me with a great personality, and tons of energy. Thanks Teresa! Your a credit to the Williams-Sonoma brand!

Prices are just plain ridiculous - lowest I've seen for essentials, like 6ft ladders for $30. Exact same ladders that other places will have for $100.

I would give the manager 0 stars if I could. Easily one of the rudest, most unprofessional managers…read moreI've ever dealt with. I've asked him simple questions multiple times and he'll straight-up ignore me like I'm not even standing there, for absolutely no reason. His customer service is horrible, his attitude sucks, and somehow he's still in a management position. I've even heard employees complain about dealing with him, so clearly I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience. Whoever is above him seriously needs to pay attention to how he treats customers and staff. Other than dealing with that miserable manager, the store itself is actually great for plumbing supplies, especially if you're trying to stay on a budget. Good prices and a solid selection. It's unfortunate that one person can make the experience so damn unpleasant.

Kuarto is the right blend of modern minimalist! Located on one of the busiest streets of Long…read moreBeach, Kuarto is situated in a quaint little building that be easy to miss. Once you're inside however, it can feel like you're away from the traffic and it gives off a very calming atmosphere. All the items are neatly and particularly placed. The store carries a variety of home products to self-care goods. Since it's a novelty store, you can expect that some of these items are not "budget-friendly." With that being said, you can tell that all of the items are of immense quality. They carry some noteworthy brands like Aesop and Kinto. If you're choosing to make a purchase just based on quality, you've made a great investment. I had a chance to speak to Arianne and she was well-informed about the products. I wasn't prepared to make a moderate purchase upon first visit, but I am keen on coming back! I only purchased their lip balm and it's currently my favorite product to use. If you're ever in the Long Beach area, I recommend paying this store a visit!

They will definitely set the ambience in your room to new levels. There are some unique items here that I don't really want to share with the internet just yet. Lol.
