Williams Sonoma in the U-District is one of my favorite places to browse, especially when I'm in…read morethe mood to splurge. Sure, it's expensive. We know this. Nobody is walking into Williams Sonoma expecting budget shopping. But if you're looking to treat yourself, this is a great place to do it. What I really love though is the clearance section. They mark things down for the smallest imperfections sometimes, and that is exactly the kind of chaos I support. I've found some ridiculously good deals there, including a Stanley Tucci pan and a matching KitchenAid mixer for nearly $150 off. Not only that, but the staff are super nice, helpful, and easy to talk to, which makes the whole experience even better. Shout out to Judith, who helped me and was especially awesome. If you like nice kitchen toys but also love the thrill of finding a deal, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

I had a great experience with this store. I placed an online order that WS's fraud department…read morecanceled without notifying me. I learned about it days later when I was checking on the shipping. Customer service was zero help. I called this location to see if they had 7 of the Breville Sear & Press Grills in stock for me to pick up the next day. They told me they had 5. I said that was good and would work with another location for the rest. I worked with Kristen who was super helpful and kind. I told her I'm disabled and wouldn't be able to schlep all of these to/from the car, which is why I had placed the online order. She explained that after I went into the store and paid, their loading team would be able to load up my car. I received a call the next day from another rep that they got additional inventory and now had 7 total to save me a trip driving to another location. Yay! The day of pick up, the cashier and the three people at the loading dock were all friendly and helpful. They also rearranged my items in my trunk to make room for the grills without me having to ask. My team was excited to get their gift, as this was a business gift of gratitude. I'm glad I didn't have to change plans. Used the restroom which was clean and stocked. The store overall is well thought out and was organized and stocked, even though they were very busy. Their "line starts here" sign isn't clear. Saw several customers going to the counter which has 2 registers and an internal computer (which some clueless customers also thought was a register) instead of going to the start of the line which is 10 feet away from the registers.

I have to say, this is a beautiful store to walk through. Never been in the store before and…read morethought we would pop in for some window shopping and to see what it was like. There is such a large variety of furniture to look at. The way they set up each floor is like walking through multiple dining rooms, bedrooms, and living rooms. If I remember correctly, I believe there are 5 floors. They even have an open rooftop with outdoor furniture and a nice view of University village. There are stairs but also an elevator. There was someone who greeted us as the door, but after that there appeared to be no associates walking the floor. Maybe it's be reservations? Unsure, but it was nice to be able to peruse at our leisure.

I brought in a blueprint of my home with exact measurements, and the designer created a life size layout to help me visualize everything. Being able to customize every piece and see material samples in person made the process so much easier. Furniture delivery was quick, and the space is pet friendly, which I appreciate. The interior designer helped me select everything for my living room and kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out.

Now you step in, you will be greeted by indoor houseplants for the minimalist to maximalist plant lovers, garden decor and essentials, plant and garden care products, planters and other artsy tchotchkes. Everything is so beautifully placed; it's hard to leave empty handed. If you are a plant lover, enthusiast, hoarder or anything in between, this place is heaven. I bought a begonia maculata (polka dot begonia) at their 50% off tropical plant section. It was $19 and a good sized plant. The store people are super-knowledgeable and friendly. They answered all my questions about tropical indoor plants. Next time I come to the mall, I will probably come here first. :)
