Very eclectic and eccentric gift shop in the heart of LFK! This is one of those places that kind of…read moresums up downtown Lawrence--aggressively colorful and youthful, trendy, hippie-dippy, and a bit overpriced! Lol. I'm not sure if I've ever purchased anything from here even though I've visited many times--it's still a fun place to look around even if it's not your style. They carry some home decor, apparel and accessories, jewelry, funky gifts... It's the kind of place I imagine you'd find things you never knew you wanted, but you may just find something fun that can be a conversation-piece.

Customer service was terrible. Walked in before closing time and tried to check out right at 8pm…read morewhen they closed and they grabbed the shirt from my mother in law and said we couldn't check out even though we were at the counter ready to go. No apologies, just rude, abrupt behavior acting very condescending. I left with a very distasteful feeling, almost violated with how aggressive and rude the behavior was. The one girls that we dealt with was uncalled for and not fit for retail.

I moved to the Lawrence area and the HomeGoods store was still being renovated to open. So I had to…read morekeep telling myself that I would get there when they opened. Has been open for several months now and this is my first time getting there. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the location exactly. It's off the major road in Lawrence( Iowa st), but it's sort of hidden. You have to really look for it because it sits next to Five Below and Hobby Lobby and if you're not looking for it you'll pass right by it. Not to mention traffic through there is completely congested because of the McDonald's across the way. That being said, there is ample parking and the signage looks good. When you get inside the thing I love the most is how well lit it is. You immediately feel yourself come to life as you walk in. For example I arrived on a very rainy day and I was already feeling drowsy and sleepy, but as I walked in those lights woke me up and I found myself rejuvenated and interested to walk throughout the store and see what they had. So the lighting is wonderful. The items that they have available are pretty cute and unique, however it's not enough. I thought the building was bigger than what I seen. The store looks very small inside, but they do have cute items and the prices are okay... not great, but okay. Will I come here again? If I can't get to athome in Olathe, then I will definitely be stopping here to pick up a thing or two. It's worth the trip

Super disappointed in this location compared to the others I've been. It was over crowded with…read moremerch and not well organized. The pricing even seemed off compared to other locations or just not as good merch. Total let down. Half the store was pillows.

Liam helped me find some summer wear and directed me to sale items that I tend to forget about annually. Their fall shipment is due in a couple weeks, so a trip through their sale items upstairs proved a gold mine find. Their cafe always has delicious fare, usually hosting an engaging group meeting or an after-trek beverage break. There are extended community happy hours every Thursday from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with a portion of all cafe sales directly benefiting a good cause. (Right now, it's the Infant Toddler Services of Kansas - serving Douglas County). The staff is affable, knowledgeable, engaging, smart, and courteous. If what you want isn't there, Alix will take your clothing and gear orders (so you can break the Amazon addiction). Shop here and get outside your box.

Wish I had a bike cause this place looks pretty neat. Actually came in with some friends since…read morethere is a coffee sign outside. They offer some decent selections here. I did enjoy the hot mocha. My friend got a burger and fries that looked really good and she did enjoy that. I also got a very large chocolate chip cookie which was meh. It was hard, as it was there for like 3 days. I'll pass on the cookies next time but plan to try their burgers. Stop in and have a beverage or see their merchandise and services they offer.

I buy all my plants at Earl May. The quality of plants far exceeds all other nurseries. This year I…read moreknew I needed to add some mulch to my perennial garden. Earl May was able to provide the mulch as well as deliver and spread it for me. It was 230 bags of mulch and it was definitely worth having someone else do it. It turned out beautiful and I could not be happier

I bought tomato seeds here, 5 out of 60 seeds germinated. After 10 min of the manager gaslighting…read moreme that it was my fault he reluctantly exchanged the seeds. I then asked about purchasing soil I asked the price and was told a price higher than what was on their website. Their website price is 29.00 he was telling me the price was 34.99. And he was unable to honor that price because it was a typo. But if I was to purchase online he would honor that price. They wanted me to waste more of my time when they could easily honor that lower price. Of course I complained and another 10 min went by, he finally said he would honor the lower price. When I was checking out he scanned the soil and to his surprise the soil was 29.99. He wasted my time arguing over a price that was the their price. I bought over 150 in soil, no-one offered to help load or even opec the door when I left. F this guy will not be going back. I'll buy from Amazon next time. Earl may is extremely over priced. Shop there and pull up any of there items online and your looking at a 10 dollar price hike. It's not a local company it's an expensive chain.

I have two experiences with Bed Mart…read more My first experience was in 2009 where I purchased a new mattress and headboard. The employees were helpful, though I was also put off by the trash talking that was geared towards PayLess Furniture. This experience went off without a hitch, fast delivery, fast set up of my new furniture. No problems whatsoever! I still have the mattress and headboard and they're still fantastic. My second experience was in 2011. My partner and I wished to purchase a new bed. My old mattress was great, but we wanted something even better! We dealt with one salesman who was polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and at the perfect level of being helpful without being pushy or overbearing. He knew exactly when to walk away and when to come back and chat with us again. He was great! However, we weren't ready to purchase that day because we wished to check around at other furniture places to make comparable prices and quality checklists. He gave us a short list of prices on the mattress, headboard and frame and we went on our way quite happy with the experience. We came back another time and we were fully committed to purchase everything. Sadly, the mattress we wanted was sold out, but the salesguy said they might be able to order another one. The woman who works there jumped in and said that was NOT possible and all that was left was the floor model. She then took over and wrote down a quote--the mattress was the same price as our last visit but this time it was for the floor model. I said this wasn't good enough, I expected a discount on floor models but the woman would not budge an inch. She said she paid full price for the mattress, lowered the price, and if she sold it for less than the quote she gave me she'd lose money. To add further insult to her refusal to negotiate, she also informed us the price labeled on the headboard we were interested in was wrong and it should have been $50 more expensive. I'm not sure how that's my problem, the price is clearly marked on the furniture itself so if it's wrong you shouldn't turn around and try to make me pay for your mistake. However, I doubt the labeled price has changed since my visit. If you plan to go to Bed Mart, don't speak to the older lady (the boss?) who works there. If it hadn't been for her terrible behavior--which I would describe as dirty car salesperson tactics, then we would have walked out with a new bed and headboard set. The other salesman did absolutely nothing wrong and if they work on commission then it's unfortunate that the woman cost him a sale.
