As Agnes noted, this is a very neat furnishing and decor shop where the staff doesn't seem to mind a little aimless browsing. It reminds me a bit of several places on 8th Avenue (Pre to Post Modern and Classic Modern), and prices are in the same ballpark.
Urban Decor is full of very sleek, modern furniture, some of it so hip and aesthetically pleasing that I'm not exactly sure how you sit on it. Though there are a few comfy-looking sofas, most of the chairs are metallic and cold, lending themselves more readily to being looked at than sat upon. Everything at Urban Decor is pretty pricey (even the cheapest of tables, stools and chairs will run you at least $200), but it all screams "I'm a successful, cosmopolitan socialite! Look at my furniture, but don't sit on it!" But that's what you'd expect from a place called Urban Decor, right?
I saw some crazy lamps and neat little fixtures and tables that I'd probably purchase if I were financially able. There was a lamp that probably extended about twelve feet and dropped down like a fishing pole with a single, bulbous light at the end--very neat. Trouble is it cost about $500. Regardless, if I hit the jackpot someday, I'm certain I'll hit Pre to Post Modern and this place in order to furnish my lavish mansion. read more
