I could have spent HOURS in this shop, wandering around and looking at all of the beautiful things for sale. We were spending the night locally on a trip up the west coast, and our Airbnb host suggested Inkwell as a good place to purchase gifts. They were absolutely right. There were plenty of staff around; I received numerous offers of help, and the cashier who helped us was really nice and welcomed us to their town. The options for gifts were plentiful, with everything from purses to candles to preserves to clothing to dishes and fun kitchen gadgets. (The shop is attached to a furniture store that looked beautiful, but we didn't spend time there.) They also sold local postcards, greeting cards, and other Oregon-themed gifts. We purchased a beautiful blown-glass Christmas ornament for ourselves and numerous small gifts for my parents. The prices were what I would have expected -- not cheap, but the items were nice and well-made, and the prices felt fair for what we purchased. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Good Day Yelpies, From the outside, this place looks absolutely amazing--its long-standing history as an independently owned business is what drew my wife and me in for some furniture shopping. As many of you know, furniture is a long-term investment, and the shopping experience should come with attentive, knowledgeable staff who help guide you through that process. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt more observed than welcomed. One employee made eye contact and immediately turned away, and as we continued browsing--essentially left to "prospect" on our own--there was little effort to engage or assist us. On our way out, another staff member offered a brief hello but never followed up to ask if we needed help. When you're making a significant purchase like furniture, customer service matters just as much as the product. Sadly, this visit left us feeling overlooked rather than valued. We later found our couch at another location and will receive it in 30 to 60 days due to the customization we requested. We are happy to have found a place that truly understood what we were looking for our home. read more

Delightful surprises of all kinds awaited us when we wandered in on Sunday afternoon after enjoying brunch at Caves restaurant (recommended) down the block. This store is chock full of seasonal decor items for home or gifts, unique greeting cards, top quality candles and soaps and lotions, serious cook quality cutlery, cookware, small kitchen appliances, glassware (including some Riedel barware glasses i know to be great from owning them myself), table linens like placemats and napkins (in real cotton no less)..the list goes on. Upstairs you'll find bedroom furniture and to the side is a large home furnishings selection from sofas and chairs to dining sets. Staff, all young and I'm thinking also maybe OSU students, were really helpful in answering questions and ringing up my purchases. From them I learned this store had been at this location for 60'ish years, starting as a stationary goods store (I am old enough to remember that kind of store in the day) and transitioning over time to what it is now. That kind of longevity in a business is amazing these days. The space is well lit and curated to be welcoming and makes one want to linger and look around. The sound system mix helped with that for me on this day as it was tunes that would have been playing in my college years. It smells good too. ACCESSIBILTY: Everything was well laid out on the first floor and in the furniture store adjacent with lots of space in aisles for all shoppers to comfortably shop and also important to me on this trip as I was using a wheelchair to navigate, ADA compliant for equal access in spaces. Including even the store loo in the furniture section. Good for them. I didn't ask if there was an elevator to the bedroom furniture level. read more

Magnificent inventory for all your home needs from furniture to kitchen ware to gifts galore. One of the most Beautiful stores I've ever been in. This store is a one stop shop to decorate your apartment, condo or home. Price points are great and the staff is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. One of my most favorite of stores to shop in!!! read more

Staff is so rude. Went in on a Saturday and there was no one else in the store on the furniture side. The three or four staff standing around wouldn't even look at me let alone say hello or ask if I needed help. I'll spend my money somewhere else. read more

Do not buy furniture from here. Bought a sofa for 3k+, expecting a quality piece. After 2 years, the seat cushion has sunk already, and the leather has stretched out, including on the footrest. I brought pictures and the receipt in. Not only did they not do anything for me, they gave number to call for me to contact the manufacture, who also cared less. read more

Very high quality furniture with friendly knowledgeable staff. Delivery of our bedroom was on time and everything was treated carefully despite long uphill stairs. Mattress decision was informative and without sales pressure. We looked at a lot of lower cost options but the quality and construction of their products them truly the best value. read more

of course i found something to buy. went here with my niece and we both love looking at the merch here. staff friendly. will be back.

This store is reminiscent of a traditional local furniture store combined with a Bed, Bath and Beyond. Some nice stuff and I prefer to support local business whenever possible. Unfortunately, low stock and being unable to get info from employees kept me from making a purchase today. read more

LOVE this store. Everyone is so helpful and very knowledgeable. Great selection with a lot of variety. I love to stroll through and see so many unique items you can't always find. Each visit I find new "must have" items. I live 45 minutes away and find the trip well worth the drive. read more

Absolute favorite in town. Beutiful items in all departments. Real quality and great taste. Proudly bring my frinds here for Christmas shopping when they visit around the holidays. We got several pieces arts and furniture here and we love them. Such colorful and welcoming store to shop at. read more

be forewarned! this place is dangerous and there's the potential to drop a wad of cash. one side is home furnishings with beautiful sofas and leather chairs alongside handcrafted side and dining tables. prices matched craftsmanship so i wouldn't say you will find anything cheap but if you're in the market for something that stands out and looks beautiful, i think most everyone would find something they'd like there. the other side is a mix of everything: gifts, cards, kitchenware, puzzles, small items, baby related, home goods. pricing on this side seemed fairly consistent but depending on budget, you could walk away with one or many things, for yourself or for others. in general, it's a great place to stroll through but would be a nightmare with small children since there's so much to pick up, knock over, break or be cajoled into buying. i could see where this would be a go to location in corvallis for gifts, for kitchen items or for whiling away a half an hour or more. my only recommendation would be to go in knowing what you need or want because without any specific intention, you could easily convince yourself you need items you come across. read more

First, I have to say that the staff is always super friendly and available to help. I usually come down here to check out their selections of knives and other cookware. They have decent prices and a great selection of different kitchen items for every style. This is definitely the best place to go for any household needs. read more

Super fun store. We spent about a half hour buying little things we didn't need.

To make a long story short, I stopped going to this store years ago. I found the customer service snobbish and poor. But I needed a gift yesterday, so I called them. A lady by the name of Randi, sent me pictures of the item I needed. I went to the store today, oh my gosh! I had forgotten how fun that store is. Randi was working and assisted me with my purchase. And then gave me a hug when I left. If Randi is the face of customer service now days at The Inkwell, I will continue to shop there and happily. read more

Such a fun store to go into I think the apron section is my favorite part they have such fun and funky items and things that you never knew you needed but as soon as you saw it you knew that you couldn't live without it! That the staff is extremely helpful and friendly and they have such an amazing selection not just a Furniture but a fun household items 4 things to do with the kids read more

great for gifts and kitchen/dining accessories. I can spend a long time browsing. Too expensive for furniture for most people I know, but I'm sure it's great quality. read more

We have visited The Inkwell many times! It is always very fun to see the wonderful variety of items. Everything is high caliber; you can feel comfortable knowing the items you purchase are of great quality. read more

I bought a steak knife from Inkwell. Two weeks later, I was cutting soft cheese with it. Not a hard cheese, a soft cheese, I think it was muenster... and it broke! "That was weird," I thought, and I walked over to return it. The hostility I encountered was really bizarre, considering I walked in with a smile and expected to be treated like a human being. I said something to the effect of, "I bought this knife and was cutting cheese and it broke." The response was curt and sharp: "That's a steak knife, sir. It sounds like you used it for something it wasn't meant to do." I honestly thought she was joking. She wasn't. I explained what type of cheese, that nothing was forced, and that it probably just had a weak point and snapped. She insisted I abused the knife. I was taken aback. I asked for her name (Jessica), at which point the defense mechanism kicked in and she mocked me, saying to "go ahead and tell her manager." Really unprofessional. I ended up writing a letter with a request for a response, addressed to the Inkwell managers. I never got a response. I don't know why, and I won't assume, but I will say that since that happened, I haven't spent a dime there. I have since bought a couch, computer desk, knives... all from other local businesses. I bet not everyone will have the experience I had, but I thought it would be valuable to share with everyone. read more

Let me start by saying that I have shopped at the Inkwell for many years and have always had positive experiences....until now. My husband & I went in to look at furniture. We have a very definite idea of what we want, so we wondered around the store for quite a long time. We were never greeted by an employee. We found a catalogue that appeared to have a table pretty close to what we were looking for. At that time an employee approached us & we were informed that we should 'feel free' to take a brochure, but the store would be closing soon. He did answer a couple questions in an extremely vague fashion, but it was obvious that we were an imposition. We took our brochure & immediately searched for another store that sold the brand we were interested in. read more

I do a lot of my Christmas shopping here every year. They've got an excellent kitchen supply section and the customer service is top notch. It's a great place to browse or a great place to get the necessary items already on your list. Highly recommend! read more

Well -- I'm feeling a little like a wet blanket by saying this, but -- just okay. OK. I didn't find anyting I couldn't live without -- or even anything off the charts unusual. I'm not a big window shopper to begin with, but I do like to hunt for great and new ideas.... and I'm always drawn to creativity and originality. And that's what I was expecting here from their reputation. Maybe I came at a bad time. But there wasn't any furniture/furnishings that would even remotely go with my stuff --and our stuff is pretty eclectic. (Okay -- a lamp -- maybe. Have to think about it.) What I really wanted was something to put a plant on -- but nothing grabbed me. But the real problem was the mark-up. It's a big internet out there, and brick & mortar stores nave to be selling something pretty special -- or something at a great price -- just to compete. They have good stuff for somebody here. Just not me. read more

This place has some really cool gifts for everyone. They are pretty spendy but you can find some good things. Throw in all the the different kitchen gadgets you can get that you can't find in other stores. We found plenty of Christmas ideas for others and ourselves, we will definitely be going back. The employees were also really nice and helpful. read more

Always come to the Inkwell when in Corvallis. Unique, good quality items along with fun gifts. A little high on their prices but they have things other stores don't. Upstairs has furniture while downstairs has everything else, mostly kitchen. read more

It's like our own little Sur la Table right here in Corvallis! HUGE selections of all kinds of home decor and kitchen implements. I wish i could afford to buy a new set of living room furniture from them. It's all classic, modern, sleek, and sexy! The staff is helpful and knowledgeable, which for this type of store is a big deal for me. #corvSMB read more

One could spend hours combing the aisles just looking at all the cool stuff, great gadgets, useful utensils and beautiful things that would make a home nicer. Recently needed an item and looked on the Inkwell's website. It's nice looking but not the kind of comprehensive site that tells you everything they have. I used their Contact Us form and someone called me back right away, and YES, they had a very nice one of what I wanted. #CorvSMB read more

An interesting variety of items, all located in one big store. I was just browsing and it was a nice distraction while we were walking around the streets digesting our lunch. If you enjoy kitchen gadets this is the place for you. Good shop to pick up souvenirs, to take back home as we were on a two week road trip. Did not check out the home furnishings, but what I could see looked good. read more

Great stuff. You can get almost everything you need here. Very helpful staff. My paring knives had disappeared. A lovely staff woman helped me pick out some new ones. They had good quality choices ranging from $7.99 to $50. Given that mine tend to disappear, I choose the cheap ones and still got some decent knives. She also helped me pick out a knife sharpener and a mandolin. She told me that they also do knife sharpening on site. read more

I have been looking at Blackledge furniture for a sofa and they have been super helpful. My husband and I on a lark decided to walk into the ink well. We walked around the store a bit and left a notice that there were about four employees just standing there at the counter. Not one of them even said hello can I help you or anything like that. Apparently they don't care that at least $1000 just walked out the door. They are always like this I have been in there enough times to know. read more

I purchased a set of 3 dish cloths. for $5.95. They were shades of blue. I used the darkest blue one first and to my horror, the dish water turned blue. I kept rinsing the cloth trying to stop the bleeding, but I was not successful. I tried to return the product, but was unable to do so because the product had been used! They kept telling me if I kept washing it, the bleeding would stop. I think any product that's used in water should carry a warning if the material is not color fast. And their receipt does not say unsatisfactory products will not be accepted if a customer uses it. It says returns must be within 30 days. Exceedingly poor service. Nordstrom this store is not! read more

This store has always taken very good care of me. I have bought anything from furniture to decorations to kitchen supplies here and have always been happy. They also have gone above and beyond in helping me pick out items that would fit a particular space the best. They drove over a bunch of stuff to my office, let me see how it looked in our space and then I bought the items I liked the best. I appreciate how personable they are and the wide variety of high quality items. read more

My favorite window shopping place in town. They have very nice decoration, kitchen stuff, and furniture. Some are really funky and different. Most things are expensive, but the price is still reasonable according to the quality. A lot people don't know they have a small parking lot outside the backdoor. read more

My house is furnished by the Inwell Home Store - two gorgeous Natuzzi couches, wine bottle holder, chairs, holiday ornaments, lamps, and more. Co-owner Amy Lampton is one of the most keen buyers and decorators I know - in fact my mom comes up from San Francisco to shop at the Inkwell for kitchen items - plates, coffee makers, cutlery, and home decor. Plus, the items are very contemporary yet affordable. The Inkwell is truly a Corvallis shopping destination. #CorvSMB read more

Friendly helpful staff, fun stuff as well as specialty kitchenware. I found an insulated handle for my cast-iron skillet I'd been looking to replace for a few years, but could not find at the larger chain stores. Some stuff is pricey, but also quality. Also great for unique gifts and just poking around. read more

Wow! Totally different than what I thought! I had never been in this store, just driven by it and hadn't really been impressed by the image from the outside. But, I recently went in to buy a gift card for a friend and was totally blown away by the variety and quality of items that they had there. And the store inside is HUGE -- it just keeps going on and on for two floors! Prices looked a little high, but I would expect that from a local store. I can't wait to go back and browse for myself -- a big pleasant surprise from the Inkwell! read more

Great store! A wee bit overpriced, but that doesn't keep me out (or stop me from shopping). This is my *feel good* shopping store. All kinds of good things to browse through and purchase. read more

Extremely poor customer service. Walked around shopping with $500 giftcard to spend and not one employer approached or greeted us (there was a women unpacking merchandise right in front of us, and another doing inventory). I am extremely disappointed in my experience. Corvallis is a town of community, and we were treated very poorly. Management needs to address this issue and possibly train their employees, because after all it's customers that keep them in business. read more

My kind old mother with wispy white hair, a kind stare loves to buy all of her ornaments here. Every year, she comes here and buys the perfect one for her children and grandchildren. This year, she was not able to travel to see some of them, so she waited for the 50% off sale the day after Christmas to pick out some ornaments. It turns out if you wait for that sale, you will be denied the boxes they were shipped in and be required to pay 50 cents for packaging. How sleazy is that. I know it is just 50 cents, but come on, Inkwell, charging for the packaging merchandise comes in is just tacky. You may think you are a classy store, but you clearly have shown you will grab at every penny you can get your low brow fingers on. read more

Great products and great service. We bought leather sofas and it turned out that I had an allergic reaction once they were delivered. They went out of their way to pick them up the same day and refunded our money. So now we are still using our crummy sofas. read more

No stars for this ridiculously-priced store. I went in to get a small, 2-egg skillet, and the smallest one I could find was $90. Another one of the same size, different maker, was $110. OUTRAGEOUS. This is Corvallis, not Beverly Hills, not Rodeo Drive. I will never go in that store again. THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS. The owner should be ashamed. read more
