Karner Blue is a gem of a shop!…read more Great candle selection. The scents are amazing! Lyschel, the owner, is a bit of a scent genius if you ask me. The Apple Pie candle smells just like an apple pie BEFORE its baked - fresh and sweet. Mind blowing, I know. Not only are the candles great (and reasonably priced I may add), but there are a variety of other local items as well - jewelry, candle holders, etc... If you are looking for a unique gift, this would be a great place to stop. Not only can you shop for all ready made candles, but if you like to do a bit of creating yourself, you can get the supplies, even rent supplies as well as take classes of have a party at Karner Blue. Highly highly recommend stopping in!

This A1 came highly recommended from a few of our friends among the list of other places. We walked into A1 and wandered through the rows. Over came Scott B. wanting to help. Now look.. I hate sales people. Mainly bc I am one. Most of the time I want to be left alone until I find something I want then I'll find you. Scott helpfully backed off and let us have our space. We looked around a bit... Found a few we liked.. And we left. Yup we left. I was convinced we could find something better at a better price. I was wrong. So very wrong. We wandered over to the mini A1 off the beltline. Cute but way less inventory. Next. Into Steinhaffles where the sales lady immediately attacked us and just would not let up. NEXT. Last stop.. Ashley. With the 2 to 4 week wait not even their best sale price could make me wait that long. We couldn't run back to Scott at A1 fast enough. He happily helped us in everything we needed. We bought the couch we loved, got free delivery, and got it the next day. Delivery was quick an easy as well. Will for sure be back for our furniture needs.

He proceeded to make statements like, "Don't steal anything, do not put anything in your pockets, etc., with others in the store. This behavior towards three women of color is unacceptable. It is inappropriate to imply or suggest we steal or take property without paying for it. This was very offensive and insulting to us. I did not purchase from this company, nor would I purchase from it after this experience.

I am a huge home/garden center enthusiast and just found a Menards location in Monona, WI that…read morepackages up its ripped mulch bags, sand bags, and bagged rocks and sells those ripped up bags at about half the cost! They were not available in all colors, but I scored two bags of this lovely brown mulch for just $1.50 a bag and also two bags of stones for just $2.00 a piece, rather than $3.66. I know that is not a huge saving, but with the 11% back, it makes for a nice little treat. I have a thing for mulch, soil, compost and rocks. When I am having a tough day, I wander through my local Menards and find things to add to my garden. This particular location, located near Madison, WI is almost entirely indoors or at least covered outdoor sections- which is helpful on a hot, rainy day like yesterday. It had sales in so many end-caps, too, like random things marked down considerably although I couldn't always tell what the item was. This location is very clean and well organized. Super well stocked in all the departments that I visited. I will come back next time I am up in Madison.

I clearly stated more than once that I was "just browsing" and "doing fine", but everywhere I turned this guy was trying to sell me something. When I actually did purchase a table - not one that he was trying to push on me, and not with the chair upsell - the checkout and pickup process was fine. I asked for some follow-up information via phone on a different product and received it quickly. I'd be willing to try Rubin's again, but perhaps at the downtown Madison store next time.

I had first entertained the idea of purchasing said chair a few months ago and went in to see their selection. Prior to going in, I had found a 10% off coupon in the Reader, so the incentive to purchase from Rubin's rose proportionately. They had a vast selection of modern contemporary furniture on 2 levels. I had a hard time deciding exactly what to select, but after perusing the inventory, I made up my mind. The salespeople were very friendly and helpful, and not at all pushy. The particular chaise I ordered wasn't in stock and had to be ordered from their warehouse in Madison, WI and would take approximately 8 weeks. I was disappointed to have to wait so long, but good things come to those who wait. I got my chair about 3 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It's comfortable as well as stylish. Can a piece of furniture be sexy? Absolutely. And I just ordered a second chair.

This place looks like someone walked through one of those huge antique malls and picked out only…read morethe best and neatest little things to show you. I enjoy big antique malls, but I don't always want to spend all day rooting around to come out empty handed. This place eliminates "the search" because it's curated so well. The location is super easy to get to, and parking has never been a problem. The staff is friendly enough; they will greet you and let you browse, and if they see you lingering around an item they'll offer to help you out. That's fine with me, I don't need someone following me around. They have some furniture items, lots of jewelry and dishes, and some nice lighting pieces. The prices have been great. It seems like they offer a lot of specials, per their FB page. Items here tend to move quickly, though. So if you see something you like you're best off just buying it and foregoing coming back with a friend for a second opinion. I have never asked if they're willing to hold items for you. Overall, if you're looking for some neat things or a one-of-a-kind gift this a great place to stop by.
