I love this new addition to the Utrechtsestraat. Some nice Scandinavian touch for everyone's home…read more Besides big furniture, such as couches and tables, they have a nice selection of pretty cool small things for your house. You can also find some good gift ideas here for that decoration-lover friend. The prices are reasonable, cheaper than comparable shops (such as Droog). Currently they have some discounts.

While I was in Amsterdam I Googled, "unique shops". The Otherist came up in every list so I had to…read morestop by. I had walked by this shop so many times and ironically, on my first trip to Amsterdam I stayed two doors down from it and never noticed it. I mentioned this to the owner and he said, which I agree, that part of the charm of Amsterdam is there are so many things here that you are constantly stumbling upon amazing shops and more every time you walk down the street. He couldn't be more right. The shop itself is so unique. I knew immediately that I would love it here. The items were cool and not like anything else I'd find while shopping. It's definitely not a tourist shop; it's not a t-shirt or postcard sort of place, but it features really cool home decor items from suspended butterflies to really cool metal displays. I knew immediately I'd find so many things I'd love and couldn't bring back to the states with me because I'd have no room and I was right, but I did find some cool metal keys to bring with me to decorate in my living room. I asked the owner if they had a story to them and he replied, "everything has a story" and that was good enough for me.

Exquisite pieces of decor, for sure! They have very "weird" pieces too, and simpler ones. For those who call themselves collectors, you might find something here for you. The displays are carefully curated so you should look carefully to appreciate everything!

Wat een enorme teleurstelling is dit geweest…read more Wij hebben voor ongeveer €15.000 een keuken gekocht bij IKEA. Je verwacht dan toch dat levering en installatie professioneel geregeld zijn. Helaas begon de ellende eigenlijk al vóór de levering. Verkeerd advies bij het bestellen, onderdelen die niet waren toegevoegd, dingen die later weer omgewisseld moesten worden. Oké, kan gebeuren -- dacht ik nog. Maar toen kwam de levering. Op de dag van levering hadden we vrij genomen. Bleek er geen lift geregeld te zijn (terwijl dat wél was afgesproken). De keuken kon niet naar boven. Ondertussen stonden onderdelen in het systeem als "geleverd" terwijl ze er helemaal niet waren. Daarna begon het eindeloze bellen en mailen. De installatie die 1 à 2 dagen zou duren, heeft uiteindelijk bijna vier maanden gesleept. Elke keer kwam de monteur en ontbrak er weer iets. We moesten zélf continu schakelen tussen IKEA en de montagepartner. Alsof wij projectmanager waren van onze eigen keuken. Wat mij nog het meest frustreert is de klantenservice. Er werd vaak gezegd: "We komen hierop terug", "Dit wordt opgepakt". Maar je moest overal zelf achteraan. En uiteindelijk werd het dossier gewoon gesloten, terwijl er helemaal geen oplossing was. Na al die maanden gedoe heb ik voorgesteld om het voor €500 af te ronden. Op een project van €15.000 lijkt me dat meer dan redelijk. Zelfs dat werd afgewezen en verdere communicatie werd stopgezet.

Based on own research on chatgpt, an error E1 normally is linked to water supply. Can't be the installation, cos the 1st month it worked just fine. Called Ikea to see what we can do, they said a technician can look at it, but of course it is a 3rd party, CE Repair Services. So far, disappointed company to work with. The earliest appointment was in 3 weeks after I 1st contacted them. The day arrived when the technician should come by, and in the morning of that same day, they cancelled my appointment. So I have to do a new one, this time in 2 and a half weeks. The overall experience with Ikea is quite poor. It is your device that's broken, you should be doing all the administration to get it fixed. Avoid Ikea, and if you can't, avoid this dishwasher.

When I first passed by this little concept store I was so happy! It looked so pretty and cool! It…read morewas closed though. But I returned a few days later to go inside. And it was pretty and cool! The shop isn't big but sells many love things! Home decorations (WHICH I LOVE), beautiful jewellery, jam (really), flowers and art. All kinds of lovely things. The shop has this very nature inspired theme I guess. Also, like many concept stores, you can also have a drink and a bit here. There is a table in the back where you can sit and relax or work. So, this street is getting better and better :) This shop is a must-visit if your in the area. It isn't cheap but they sell many lovely things worth the money.

The store can be compared to MaisonNL based on the goods and image. So if you love MaisonNL you will definitely love Anna + Nina. Anna+Nina is more broad in its jewelery collection compared to their home accessoires collection, which is also very very very nice. Anna+Nina sells the most cute earrings, rings, necklaces in plated gold or silver. They also sell pillows, wallets, clutches, candle holders, mirrors, clothes like sweaters and robes from different exclusive brands and go on. My favorite shop to buy birthday gifts, fair prices for the quality. Love their posters from Hotel Magique. It's a shame if you've never visited this store before, you should take a look. Either in the Gerard Doustreet (Pijp) or the Kloveniersburgwal store in the Centre. Both the same great collection and experience. :D

I purchased a few nice items here to bring a warm and feminine touch to my place. My Dutchman is not too fond of this store but on the other hand I adored it. This store screams femininity all around it, so be careful men if you enter this shop with your lady. Consumers here you can find the most extended collection of LavandouX products for a very affordable price. LavandouX has been known as a popular brand for homestyle products in the Netherlands. I had "Woontante Shop" add me to their mailing list, just to keep me posted on their new arrivals, collections,brands and designs, but "between me and you" I will not share this with my man.
