Not so much a criticism of the store, but I want to bring a blatant case of false advertising to…read morelight. This is an email I sent to customer support: "We recently purchased an area rug for $249.99 that was advertised as 8ft x 10ft. I have attached a photo that we took when were deciding on which rug to buy which shows this. When we got it home and unpacked it there was a label attached that told us the rug's actual size was 7ft 10in x 8ft 11in. I have attached a photo of this label as well. We are extremely disappointed to have paid $250 for a product that is not at all what we expected. We had measured our living room and wanted an 8ft x 10ft rug for the space. We still really like the rug and do not wish to return it, but are not at all pleased with this case of false advertising. We felt it important to bring this matter to your attention and hope you will consider making some changes in your stores to avoid any more upset customers. As it is, we are not sure we can trust At Home for any future purchases and would advise others of the same." The response I got was: "Hi Stewart, Thanks for contacting us! Our rug sizes are approximate measurements and actual rug sizes may vary depending on the country of origin and the manufacturing technique. If the rug you purchased isn't quite the right size, you're welcome to return it. Here's a link to our return policy: https://help.athome.com/hc/en-us/articles/203774695-What-is-your-return-policy- Please provide a copy of your receipt to better assist you. Thank you so much. Best, Tina At Home Customer Care" So they not only make no apologies for the false advertising (or read the emails customers send them properly), but instead defend it. So I figured I needed to let people know about this, and warn you that, like us, you'd be well advised to avoid At Home.

Athome is one of the best stores I know, and love shopping here, HOWEVER today a LEAD called ANGIE,…read morewas super RUDE to me, at first she didn't want to tell me her name, then she started throwing the F word around MULTIPLE TIMES as if I was in the ghettoest store ever. I went thinking they closed at 11, and in reality they closed at 10, she came to me as I was already walking up to the front and started harassing me that THEY were CLOSED. I said okay, and kept on walking so then she said you have 3 minutes, so I looked at my phone and said actually it's 4 minutes to 10, and she said with her back towards me because she was leaving " you're not gonna dictate at what time the store closes" which I never said anything regarding at what time they close. Something so simple yet she made it a HUGE deal, and put words in my mouth. I told her she shouldn't be doing customer service with that attitude and she told me because of people like me it was that she hated it. Anyways it's just so sad to see such an amazing store with horrible employees.

No matter where I was, one of the two women there was somewhere nearby, straightening things that didn't need to be straightened. I was with 3 other people who didn't get the same amount of attention. Hmmm. Anyway, my friends were lingering too long, so I made my way outside.

I've been to many spaces around the DC area & these ladies running this shop did a fantastic display & easy to find staging of all their products. I highly recommend anyone that's looking for something unique, older & classic to come here first. It's by appointment only (so be sure to contact them before arriving). The price is right for a lot of the products they have, but you can also speak with the people who refurbished the products to negotiate prices if you'd like to as well. But what they provide is a true art, so the price is right for the quality & value. Kind of tricky to find as it's off road, BUT it's picturesque once you get there & pull up. Best day-trip find from DC ever!!!
