They have lots of whimsical home decorations, kitchenware, linens, jewelry, figurines, soap, body lotion, and much more. The shop has a cozy cottage vibe. I visited there recently and thoroughly enjoyed slowly going through the shop and checking out all the charming treasures. One of the things I really liked was a Hazel Atlas children's tea set in pastel-colored milk glass from the 1940s-50s (see pic). I also saw a nice secondhand Kate Spade bag for only $42. The women working there were very friendly and chatty. I understand they get new inventory all the time, so I plan to go back soon.

The moment you walk in, you know there are going to be some awesome finds. The items are clearly curated for a specific aesthetic. We visited during the Willow Glen Bubble Walk (champagne tasting) and almost spent way too much time looking around before having to move onto the next stop. We committed to come back the next day to shop and I'm so glad we did! It's the perfect place to pick up gifts for others, or yourself! The prices are very reasonable. Our first purchases were some body care items that are going under the tree as gifts. Give this shop a visit and you won't be disappointed!

It's a small store that I just happened to notice when walking around Lincoln ave. I walked in and…read morewas immediately greeted and not just with some boring hello but with a very warm and welcoming attitude which is hard to find these days! The girl working chatted with me and didn't push me to buy anything but was hustling friendly and nice. (I did not buy anything this time but I fully intend to come back very soon) I love the decor they have. Very simple but beautiful. I can't wait to decorate my home with the items they sell. They had this lotion called muse that smelt so good! Honestly though, I'm not so sure I would've spent more than a minute in the store if it wasn't for the girl who was working there. (I don't know her name but it was on 11/14/24 at about 11am) she made me feel so welcomed that it made me want to look around and thus I found my new home decor store!

I'm very glad I came to What A Room Furniture because Daniel was able to educate me on all the different elements that one had to consider when buying a sofa including seat firmness, depth, configuration, and fabric. He helped immensely with helping me customize the ideal sofa with the appropriate measurements for each component. I always thought furniture was just pick and buy and was surprised by how customizable every aspect was. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you are considering an upgrade to that old table, chair, or sofa as they have a great selection to customize to your preference and even better service to help you every step of the way!

So happy we found this place as we've been searching for a new couch for years. We have specific…read moresize requirements due to the room size and also really wanted to keep a chaise lounge without loosing any sitting room. We were able to make a couch that fits us! We found the couch style we liked, picked a performance fabric, chose how many cushions, seat firmness, seat depth, chaise length and width. Literally everything was customized! I also love that it's made in California without any forever chemicals. I didn't want a prop 65 warning on our couch especially since we have a new baby at home. Daniel was so helpful in the store with all of our questions and he had great suggestions and made sure that we knew our options. We never felt pressured into anything and that's really appreciated. Being it's made to order they said it would take 4-6 weeks but it was delivered in 3 weeks!!! Love this place and highly recommend them.

For those who've never been, dd's is like a ghetto version of TJ Maxx, with deeply discounted (hence "dd") discontinued and seasonal merchandise. Current hours (8/1/25): Friday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM Sunday: 9:30 AM - 9:30 PM The Good: *Discounted clothes and shoes *Small selection of toys *Kitchen stuff *Small selection of food and drinks *Prices seem very reasonable from what I could tell. The Meh: *Currently only open three days a week, per the website. I'm sure this will change as they're still in a soft opening mode. *Not the biggest store The Ugly: *The Plant is not the safest place with lots of low-lifes and crackheads milling about. Basically, lock your car and make sure no valuables are in sight. Conclusion: Interesting place to check out occasionally, as the stock is always changing.

It's honestly nice that this dd's opened up. Ever since the Toys "R" Us went out of business like…read moreeight years ago, that whole area has been a ghost town, and the homeless population really started to take over. I have to say, it's a nice change of pace. Lately, I've started popping in here before I hit up Target, and I've found some surprising stuff. I actually found a doorknob here that Home Depot had for like 3X, and a new hose for the house. My pre-teen daughter has even come around on the clothes, which is a miracle in itself, and she's super excited about the beauty section. My only complaint is that I found a new shirt here for the exact same price as a used one at the thrift store, which felt like a complete foul on my part! But other than that, it's a solid place. They have tons of clothes and a good selection of household items. I hope they stay because they seem new and busy right now, so fingers crossed!

It's a cute boutique offering California-made items such as pottery, clothes, skin care products, jewelry, art, and more. The store is nicely organized and their items are neatly displayed. A table with pottery near the entrance caught my eye right away. I also enjoyed checking out the flavored salts and oils for cooking, room diffusers, wall art, and jewelry. I was surprised to see they carry the wonderful Osea skin care products as I didn't know they were made in California. I ended up buying a ceramic spoon rest, room spray, and a tiny gold "diamond" ring. Their prices were reasonable. The store owner rang up my items and was very friendly and nice. I will definitely be back to shop here again.

I bought a tank top and it was $42 which was pretty steep but I didn't mind. Until today, I had washed the top I purchased ONCE and after only 2 or 3 wears it starts pilling almost everywhere! Sometimes the my washer does this which isn't avoidable, but I had washed it with like colors and fabric types so it shouldn't have done this. There's also weird lines in the fabric now so not sure if I would wear this outside my house anymore.

I was so happy with Amy's staging talent, I copy and paste here part of my personal text to her:…read more"Good morning Amy. I would like to let you know that we have achieved our goal, and we achieved it fast, above and beyond our expectation --we have entered into a final purchase agreement without any more contingencies and we wouldn't have accomplished it without your superb staging talent." The value that she gives you is nothing compared to what you get in return. The investment is totally worth it. She made it easy for people to fall in love with my home and make it their dream home. As a result, I sold my house 45,000$ over asking in 8 days. Actually the buyer who eventually got it, made their offer 2 hours after it got posted on MLS. I can never thank you enough.

When it came to staging my parent's home in San Mateo I met with nearly a dozen staggers. I knew…read morethe big impact staging could have and wanted to be sure to find a stagger that could highlight the best features of the home and it's open floor plan. Staging Artists was at the higher end of the range of quotes I received but having seen their beautiful work, I decided to go with them. I couldn't have been happier with the decision. Staging Artists is worth every penny!!! I worked with Julie directly who was phenomenal. I live in Los Angeles and wasn't able to meet with her personally but she was always available to answer my questions by phone. She went above and beyond and helped me pick out paint colors and offered advice on updating fixtures. Though I had high expectation during booking, when I walked into the home after staging was completed, I was blown away. The home looked amazing and exceeded my expectations in every way!! I highly recommend Staging Artists and staff member Julie!!!

I came in tonight to check out sectionals in person…read more After seeking a sectional to replace our family couch (which, is breaking down after three years! what a bummer), we decided to test out couches in person. Our last couch was purchased online and we followed reviews who had solid feedback, but no long term feedback. The couch was awesome upon first opening and using, but as the years went by the springs and cushions couldn't hold up as well. The couch has lost its shape and feels uncomfortable. This background story prompted me to seek West Elm for a better option. I know West Elm provides quality and durability. The last couch we had was a nameless brand and that red flag had me investing time in researching our next couch. West Elm's contract grade third party approval is something that I've admired and appreciate. Knowing that something can withstand high impact and volume is important especially when you have a busy life or entertain guests often. This was important to us. I've found and loved multiples of their couches online, but sitting in them in person made the biggest difference. I learned which couch was better for us (Dalton 2 piece) and the color that would fit with our room. We were helped by an associate who approached us and helped guide us in the process of choosing a fabric and material. I didn't catch his name, nor was he wearing a name tag, but he provided us swatches to feel and see before determining the final order. Him bringing out the swatches had a huge influence on our choices. He showed us a material that would withstand scratches (we have cats), and would also age well with future use down the line. Having a piece that would grow and adapt with our lifestyle meant a lot to us and the process in finding the next best couch. What I had appreciated was how attentive he was and how he helped us choose everything in store and printed out the order in case we were interested in pursuing it further. Ultimately, we ended up leaving with the order number and the specs for the couch. We decided once we had come home that that was the couch for us and we will be following up to place an order. It was a game changer trying out the couches in person since there were many lovely pieces and I would have otherwise overlooked the couch we ended up loving online. In the end, envisioning our home setting and layout was made a lot easier in store. I appreciated the stellar customer service, along with getting a quote for the sectional we're going to purchase. There is so much to see and appreciate in store, we will definitely return to purchase other delightful pieces in the future.

They cheerfully unlocked the glass cabinets when I wanted to see something and there was never any pressure to buy. I learned the shop has been there for 44 years. I really wanted to support this small local business, so I bought a green Buddha statue for a shelf at home that needed refreshing.
