I usually enjoy browsing HomeSense for unique home items, but my recent visits left me…read moredisappointed. When I checked out on my last trip, the young gentleman at the register kept yawning and barely acknowledged me -- it came across as lacking basic manners and customer service. To make matters worse, a picture frame I bought turned out to be damaged in the corner when I unwrapped it at home. When I brought it back to return, the sales associate spoke to me in an accusatory tone and insisted that I had damaged it. I explained that I discovered the damage only after opening the packaging, but she refused to accept the return. Thankfully, I asked to speak with the Manager, who checked my receipt, realized I had purchased it just the day before, and resolved the situation professionally. I appreciated the manager stepping in, but the interaction should never have escalated to that point. Glad it was ultimately corrected, but the sales associate definitely needs better training in communication, customer courtesy, and how to handle returns without blaming customers.

I was in the area today due to my husband going to the medical center and getting his eyes…read moredilated. Thus, it was possible that I may be the one driving home. Anyway...while he was at his appt., I decided to walk around the shopping center (FairLakes Promenade). I had seen Home Sense before but never got around to checking it out. Finally, got to do that today. At first glance, it looked like it was a furniture store. Yes, they have lots of furniture but a deeper look showed there was so much more. There are towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, household cleaning items, rugs and decorative items. My intention was just to look not buy. However, when I saw the food items, I realized that I needed a shopping cart. Things that caught my eye...imported pasta, pasta sauces, spices, sweets and a cleaning formulation for shower doors and mirrors. Truthfully, there were other items that attracted me but I exercised will power. For example, I saw a lovely vase but my sensible side said "we don't need another vase." There was artwork but sensible side said "We have enough of that and only so much wall space". When I went to check out, the cashier was friendly. I found out, when he tried to get me to sign up for a credit card, that they are part of a conglomerate that includes TJ Maxx. No, we don't need another credit card! My haul ended up costing $35 plus change. Once we were home, I showed my husband my haul. He asked what it cost and was pleasantly surprised. Aw, gee! I'm so proud of myself :D So, no regrets for paying Home Sense a visit!

I have lived close to this Ross for years. My family from Maryland and Leesburg come and shop at…read morethis Ross because it has a consistently great selection. I normally don't give 5 stars, knowing I haven't had all 5 star experiences over the years. That said, I find hidden gems every time I come here. The last time, I found some awesome Sperry and Ugg shoes. I mean, come on, that alone should be enough. I found the cutest tablecloth and glasses too. Every time I walk in there, there is something cool right around the corner. I almost didn't want to share this. It is that good. The checkout can take a while. Although, the staff is always friendly and helpful. I will continue to enjoy shopping here as long as they are open.

After learning as much as I could through google searches, I walked into Furniture Rescue without…read morean appointment. No wait. Joni was so helpful! She gave me advice on two pieces of furniture I need to fix. She also went the extra mile to search amazon for a potential item I could purchase which could solve one of the pieces. Afterwards, I wandered through the shop and looked at their for-sale items. I will be back in the future when I need furniture or furniture repairs! Thanks Joni!!!

Stopped by this afternoon after finding this place on google. It's tucked away so we didn't even…read morerealize it was here. The owner asked if we were looking for anything in particular we mention we wanted Mid Century furniture. She walked us all through the store and showed us some beautiful pieces! We were on a time crunch so couldn't browse long, but ended up leaving with a gorgeous mcm rattan hanging light at an incredible price. We can't wait to go back again soon to see what other treasures we can find!

This store is okay. I do miss some of the really good animated penguin Christmas decorations…read more Didn't see them last year. My hope is this was a pandemic related supply side issue. Here you can get a variety of thoughtful gifts. Prices can be fairly high, and now most of the time for cards, I go to a dollar type of establishment. As for the store it's got nice employees. They seem content and helpful. Also it's very well organized. It has been here for sometime, and is a pretty good size for the shopping center. This does have a convenient location. If you're looking for a gift this could work.

In the Holiday season, the full range of Hallmark ornaments can be found. The Lionel train, Disney, superhero, Barbie, vehicle, house and other themed ornaments are among them. There is always an interesting and tasty assortment of seasonal chocolates and nuts. Need I say that Hallmark Channel movie items are here?

I checked online and saw the price of a garrison trench coat for example was more expensive in this store than on Ebay.com or other thrift stores.

Such a cute little vintage shop! The selection may not be as large as other shops I've been to, but…read moreI was excited to see a better range of sizes, with most pieces I pulled off the rack being L-XL. Your mileage may vary here--if an earlier decade matters to you, you may still be limited to smaller sizes, but that's typical of the hunt for vintage clothes. The pricing seemed reasonable to me, considering the decades represented and the fact that most pieces were in really excellent condition.

Disappointed. Was happy to hear that IKEA was here. It's a miniature version of a real one. I…read moreordered a table, which was a nightmare to put together. Guess what was missing parts? What an ordeal a small item has become. Generally I like IKEA. This one won't be going to again. It's better to go to the big and regular version. Am underwhelmed by the experience here. It's missing the usual charm, and so many products. That alone means I'll drive further to Woodbridge.

While at Fair Lakes Shopping Center yesterday I saw a Hobby Lobby. I'd never been in a Hobby…read moreLobby. So as an artist I came in to see what art supplies they carried. For this review, I will stay away from the controversies Hobby Lobby has been embroiled in, but note that the owners' conservative beliefs are off-putting to many people. The first thing I noticed at Hobby Lobby were the long checkout lines (only a couple lanes were open). The second thing I noticed was the loud elevator music featuring saxophones. The third thing I noticed was the weird cluttered layout. There really aren't any main aisles, it's basically a rabbit warren filled with cheap crafts and an overabundance of religious tchotchkes. Again, I came in to see their art supplies. I did see a row or two with a decent selection of canvases, but zero other art supplies. I saw one row with hobby paints, but that doesn't count. From what I could tell, there are no public restrooms. That doesn't seem very Christian to me. But maybe it was an oversight on my part, that Hobby Lobby does have restrooms and I just missed them. Upon leaving the store, I noticed the checkout lines had barely moved. Other than the fact that I don't live anywhere near this location, I have no motivation to ever shop at Hobby Lobby. Michael's is a much better arts and crafts supply store. Though, if I want to purchase art supplies, Plaza and Blick are my best bets.

This Hobby Lobby location is the biggest I've been to in the area... it's massive. There are rows…read moreand rows of different categories of arts and crafts to satisfy your hearts desire. Prices are comparable to other arts and crafts stores but i do find Hobby Lobby has better selections. Plus there is almost always promotions so make sure to check for promo codes and coupons for additional savings. The day I visited; I need to get some fabric and after deciding on the one I wanted; I had to walk around the area to find some help. After I was able to find a staff member; I asked for some assistance in the fabric department. She complained that it wasn't her department and that i should ring the bell that was on the counter. She could see that i was taken back by her response so she quickly quipped fine!... she'll help me. She ended up cutting 5 yards of fabric for me that took less than 2 minutes to do. I think this store needs more staff and more customer service training.

June Shea is a delight to work with. We came to her in early November knowing that we needed to…read morefurnish our living room properly in advance of our entire family descending from out of town for Christmas. I was kind of awkward at first, knowing that we might have different taste. However, June listened and adjusted to what I liked. In a short time, we selected a delightful suite of living room furniture. June made sure the furniture arrived on time and arrived on the delivery day to put everything gorgeously in place while I worked on my business, including tactfully putting aside some junk and even offering to hang our art. That gave me huge relief, because it was the day before my guests were to arrive, and I had no time to deal with it. I was also impressed that June did many things off the clock and didn't charge us extra when she realized it would suit our taste and lack of time best to order our art gallery wrapped. June also found a way to repurpose four lamps that we had so that they went with the decor where they were situated. I have already hired Shea Studio Interiors for an additional project to spruce up my bedroom and office. Additionally, June's suggestion to move my office from upstairs to downstairs has tremendously benefitted my business operations, will save me on taxes, and will provide me a better sense of peace in the upstairs, "home" part of my home/office. My family was very comfortable using the furniture we selected (except for the jealousy, perhaps), and my sister-in-law said it looked like something out of a magazine! In short, Shea Studio made our house more homey and beautiful and our office more businesslike and functional. Highly recommend.

We worked with Shea Studio Interiors to renovate our home in Fairfax Station, and we honestly…read morecouldn't be happier. What started as a kitchen remodel quickly turned into a full-home renovation because everything was going so smoothly--and that's thanks to the amazing team at Shea Studio and Duran Contracting. Bonnie was our main designer, and she was incredible--super thoughtful, creative, and totally invested in the project. Leah kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and June (the owner) was hands-on during all the key phases. They were all great to work with: professional, seemingly always available, and flexible. What made a huge difference was how much time they spent upfront getting to know our style and what we needed from the space. We'd never done that kind of deep dive before, and it made everything else so much easier. From there, it felt like they just "got" us--they really took our vision and ran with it. They helped us find the right partners for everything--cabinets, appliances, furniture, lighting, even a custom wine room. Everyone they brought in was top-notch and fairly priced. Plus, they handled all the scheduling, deliveries, and any issues that popped up (like damaged items or delays), so we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're thinking about remodeling or redesigning your home, we can't recommend Shea Studio enough. They're talented, professional, and just great people. Our home even won a Home & Design award this year--and we've included photos so you can see for yourself!
