This is a hard review to write. I had an unusual experience with the gallery that ended well, but…read morewas extremely frustrating along the way. It took two months for me to complete a purchase. Bottom line is they are a small business who curates some neat oddities from American craftsmen, but their service is lacking. My husband and I had received a gift around our wedding in the fall of 2011 that we returned to the studio. We lived in NYC at the time, and Yikes is located in New Hampshire. They credited us the value of the returned items via a mailed gift certificate. I attempted to use up the credit by shopping on their website, but it was impossible - none of the prices were listed, and very few of their inventory was listed on their website. No e-commerce capabilities. I called to see if I could shop by phone, and the store clerk insisted it was too difficult for her to describe what inventory they offered, so I should really make a trip to NH to stop into the gallery myself. It was not possible for us to travel there just to use up a gift certificate, so I waited. A year went by and we moved to Chicago. With the 2012 holidays approaching, I decided to try once more to use up that gift certificate in November. Their website & inventory had not changed from 1yr ago, so I called again on 11/15/12, and again they told me to travel to NH. That day I exchanged emailed with the owner and explained that I would like to use the credit and could they please describe some inventory I could possibly buy. Later in the following weeks I pursued them again, calling to speak to a store clerk who named a few craft brands they carried, so that I could go onto the websites of those brands and pick through their inventory. I found New England Bowl & Board, and on 12/12/12 I put together an email to the Yikes gallery owner with 7 items I liked from the NE B&B site. I hoped they would respond and send me "options" that added up to my credit, and finish the transaction. I did not hear back. I tried again. In late Dec I was informed by email that they were busy with the holidays and would get back to me. I called after the holidays. On 1/8/13 I received a response email and made the selection. I sent them an email with the gift certificate image, and it bounced back to me because their inbox was full. I called. Finally I received the items around 1/14/13, two months after I started the process (for the second time). Conclusion: 1) This was incredibly frustrating how difficult it was to purchase something at their store. "You should really come to New Hampshire yourself" is not acceptable for someone living elsewhere. 2) The holidays should not cause a two-month delay in completing a customer's request. I am afraid with this type of customer service they will suffer as a business, no matter how unique their wares.

I want to thank Shaker Workshops for its very prompt and courteous customer service recently…read more We're very long-time purchasers from Shaker Workshops -- probably 30 years or more. I haven't counted them, but we probably own 30 or more items from the catalog -- the child's rocker, several tape-back rockers, several arm chairs, the Shaker wall clock, 4 or 5 of the lovely ceramic lamps, a couple of dozen Shaker boxes and carriers, among others. We've also purchased many items as Christmas gifts for our children. Recently, our oldest daughter's home suffered a fire and she lost nearly all of the Shaker items. We salvaged the cherry floor lamp, but discarded the electronics. I requested replacement electronics from Shaker Workshops and customer service kindly mailed them out very quickly and at no cost. It was much appreciated. Since the company's purchase by Tappan Chair Company several years ago, the Shaker Workshops catalog has shrunk considerably, to our chagrin, and we sincerely hope that it increases its menu of items in the coming years.
