    What better shop to visit in the center of town in Kings Beach than the Robin's Nest. There is always something new to look at and Max or Lizzie is happy to help you find just what you are looking for. They even shipped me a sweatshirt and mug after mine was damaged in my suitcase. These two work hard and are in there every day of the week. It does get crowded in the summer so plan ahead but their store is stapled full of great items treat are sure to make the best gift!

    I love this place. The owners are always friendly. I always find the perfect gift. My boss liked his comfy slippers, my friend loved his wood heart and tree of life when his Dad passed. My mom adores her moms the best mug. Great gifts for reasonable prices!

    Robins nest looked cute from outside so we just had to enter and look around. i found cute trinkets and baby cloths were adorable but pricey. Appeared to have higher prices then other gift shops in the same area, look around there's identical items for lower price . they do have like other shops hand craft wooden items . My son, daughter and niece wee with us they were waiting outside my daughter came in to tell me the "owner" an older man complimented her but at the same time was rude. I placed my items to pay and my son was getting an octopus stuffed animal he decided last minute he didn't want it so I said to cashier we no longer like this item, she took it and made a sound as if she were annoyed i guess she had to do math or calculations that made it inconvenient for her. Suggest working on your ppl skills if you choose to work or own a gift shop it requires you to be friendly IF you like to have a successful shop, great reviews, word of mouth advertising, and a strong pipeline of buyers Step it up! Prices matter but service matters more. I will be back hopefully you're still there and i'll update my rating accordingly or leave as is, we shall see...God willing.

    Another cool and eclectic home decor place around the edge of Lake Tahoe. They have this life-size carved wooden Black Bear out front (see the pix for the review) that I really wanted. I met an elderly gentleman - Marshall Nixon - the husband of the woman who runs the place. Nice guy. I was particularly smitten with a number of wooden Black Bear carvings/figurines that stood 2-3 feet high. I asked Marshall how much they would sell the life size bear out front: $2,400.00. Wow! Out of my price range! I may have to go back tomorrow and buy one of the smaller bears...

    Randy and his team were awesome to work with. Very approachable and personable…read more My wife and I found a great table and four chairs. Reasonable prices and great selections.

    I went into the storefront and spoke with a sales lady about several options for dining room…read morechairs, she was friendly and showed me several options. I called back that day after confirming some measurements and she took my order over the phone and processed the payment on my credit card. Approximately 1 week later I called asking for an estimated shipping date. I was then told the order had not yet been placed with the furniture manufacturing company and they would be unable to do so until the owner got back from vacation, they were not sure when that would be. I asked if I could cancel my order and get a refund and they apologized and said they would reach out to the owner. The following day I received a short e-mail stating my order was placed and shipping information would be sent ASAP (I never received shipping information). Two days ago I received a text message that the chairs were ready to be picked up, I responded I would be by after I got off work to pick them up and got no reply back. I went by the store first thing on Saturday and waited in front of the business 45min past the posted opening hours of 10am, no one showed up. There was no sign regarding closures or inability to open and, of course, no answer on the telephone. I placed my order 28 days ago and I very much regret it. Too expensive for this poor of customer service. I have no comment on the quality of furniture because I have not seen the chairs.

    Title: Unfair Treatment & Community Disappointment at Kings Beach Ace…read more I've been shopping at this Ace Hardware for 6-7 years as a loyal customer. Unfortunately, my experience recently has been nothing short of disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly, humiliating. It began when I returned an item (a Dewalt angle grinder) and was told I couldn't receive my refund in cash because it was over $100. I was told to wait for a check. When I waited to speak to the assistant manager at the back of the store, he informed me we needed to speak with the store manager Shera -- who also happens to be his wife -- about an unspecified issue. Shera had previously made me extremely uncomfortable years ago when she followed me closely around the store while she was still just an employee. It was so unsettling that I had to report it to the store manager at the time. That issue was supposedly resolved. I believe her behavior may have stemmed from an unrelated misunderstanding that occurred over six years ago--long before Shera was even working there. I personally resolved that misunderstanding with the store owner, and we left things on good terms. However, once Shera became the new manager and appointed her husband as assistant manager, the situation shifted. It feels as though old, irrelevant history was used against me, and their personal feelings began interfering with my ability to shop at my local hardware store. I was then told by the assistant manager that I had been watched on camera by him the entire time I was shopping and he believed I was behaving "suspiciously" -- stating things like me picking up an item and putting it down in a different aisle/ location and looking at my phone while shopping. Apparently, those things were "weird" he said followed by me no longer being welcome or allowed to shop at their establishment moving forward. It was apparent, based on personal feelings, they had been trying to find any reason to remove me And were tired of waiting. A employee even once pulled me aside and admitted that every time I entered, staff talked about me over their radios making negative comments and taking turns watching me as I shopped. Now, I have to drive 20+ minutes to another store, and in a small town like Kings Beach, this kind of treatment -- especially with word getting around -- is extremely damaging and embarrassing.

    As someone who lives locally I despise going to this store. Since the new owners took over you…read morecan't rent equipment here, they lack a lot of items and just have a ton of Knick- knacks, the customer service is terrible- the staff is a bunch of young incompetent kids, and the manager Shara is so rude, disrespectful, unwelcoming and unprofessional. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten fired for her bad attitude. Trying to do a return, find something they don't have or any issues you basically have she turns on you. I've seen her yell at staff and I literally dread going in there. MoMo is the only one I like dealing with. They also send me coupons in the mail and every time I try to use them they either say it doesn't apply or they don't have the item and won't offer a replacement of similar value. Why send coupons then?! Their prices are also very high. I also don't trust them to mix my paint as I've had them mess up before on it and then won't let me return it even when it's not open. Would not recommend Benjamin Moore. It has not been able to cover existing paint even after multiple coats of primer. Do yourself and favor and go to Sherwin Williams in Truckee and Ace in Incline.
