This is precisely the kind of store that I really should avoid…read more It is dangerous. It is intoxicating. If you are into kitchenware, cooking and baking, entertaining, or serviceware, or if you are in need of a hostess or housewarming gift, be forewarned. You will find what you need (or want) here, and you will probably pay top dollar for it. And you will do so gladly. They have mainstream kitchen gadgets along with very precise and specific baking and cooking tools, along with fabulous Asian ceramic bowls and dishes and chopsticks and more. Ramekins in every color? Check. Contemporary placemats? Check. Pots and cutlery and kitchen scales and kitchen gadgets that I don't even know what they do but they look cool so I feel is definitely should get them? Check, check and CHECK! They carry a lot of OXO merchandise (I always liked the ergonomic nature of this brand's products, and they last a long time), and yes, some of these items are available at HomeSense at half the price. But they also have here obscure kitchen tools you can't find elsewhere. If you are seriously into cooking or baking, I'm sure you'd find what you need here. Some items are overpriced. I purchased two Swedish dishcloths here for $5.95 each. (They come in a ton of patterns and colors here, which is fun!). But I know these are inexpensive, and on my last trip to Bellingham, I got a set of three of them for $8. So they are quite pricey at this store. And I've seen some of their more common items for sale elsewhere at half the price they were selling for here. However, there were quite a few deals to be found at this store, too. They have lots of high quality tapered candles in different colors, only 99 cents each here. And they've lots of white ceramic dishware and serving pieces at extremely reasonable prices. If you search this store, you will find bargains. I have to add that the young ladies who work here are all super friendly and helpful, too.

The only thing I saw that I loved was an amazing heart cutting board that was exactly what I wanted, but a quick check confirmed it was cheaper and in sold in the US so I didn't splurge. Overall, exactly like any other WS you might walk into, except slightly less friendly.

After getting absolutely no service and seeing nothing of quality or style at the big stores it was a treat to walk into Siema. After being greeted by the very friendly Ammar we wandered through the showroom drooling over all of the vanities. Before long my husband came to me with the 'I found the one.' look on his face. Yes he had! Lacquered doors, quartz counter, porcelain basin, beautiful faucet and soft-closing doors and drawers. As Ammar went off to get the price list I braced myself. I was expecting it to be really expensive compared to what we saw at Rona. Sure it was more expensive but you're getting what you pay for. We also got a toilet there and even its design is elegant (hey it's your porcelain throne right?) and simple. If you don't think items like vanities and toilets are exciting you should have a look in here. Drool-worthy for sure!

I was very surprised they had five people working, as on a weekday they had almost no customers and it was a bit overwhelming the amount of stock they had.

I will say they were incredibly genuine and friendly so if this sort of kitchenwares store is your thing, I think you should definitely drop in.

I'd done a bit of research ahead of time and called ahead to ask if they could put a few planters on hold for me and they let me know they can always put items on hold as long as they aren't on sale. Additionally, I asked after a couple items that weren't on display I had seen on their site so make sure you check what's in stock before you drop in and while both locations in Vancouver do have similar stock they do differ slightly so I recommend going to both (although I think this one had overall better stock and service). I was helped by Jing who offered to open the boxes for me so I could review the planters for cracks before taping them back up. She was fantastic and incredibly helpful while I shopped. All in all, this was an absolutely wonderful location to stop into and I highly recommend them!

Over the years we have found a number of beautiful pieces at their store and recently I went by the store to buy a present for my wife for our 25th anniversary. When I got to the store, they were closed. I had forgotten they always close on Mondays but the owner was there doing paperwork and he answered the door. I explained why I was there and specifically what I was hoping to buy. He very kindly asked me to wait while he went into the back to see if it was in stock and was back in few minutes with the piece I was looking for. My wife loves the piece and I am grateful to the Atkinsons for always being so pleasant and gracious. They have a very carefully selected range of pieces from classical to modern and always beautiful.

Purchased Baccarat champagne flutes (2 boxes of 6 each) from Atkinson's. Did so as it was…read moremarginally less expensive than Bloomingdale's. Big mistake. Received boxes only to find that some of the glasses were (not subtly) broken - see pic. This happens - see prior review 1/15/25. Communicated by email to return items and was provided a return label. I will admit that we reported the broken glass after the 48hr period (although within 7 days), but that was only because we were out of town and did not open the boxes for some days after they arrived (accepted by doorperson in building in NYC). Because we technically did report after 48hrs, I agreed to pay the shipping fees (approx $100). They signed for and confirmed receipt of the boxes. This was in mid May 2025. We heard nothing from them and did not get a CC refund. We reached out eventually again end of June 2025. It took several phone calls to ultimately reach the person making the decisions. At this point that person refused to provide a full refund even though they were in possession of the entire order. He accused me of using the glasses (and breaking one apparently) even though there was no evidence to support this. To be clear, we purchased $3000 worth of glasses. I am a cardiologist and my wife is an attorney. We were being accused of behavior that we would NEVER engage in, as it is unethical and couldn't possibly be worth it to us. It was insulting and was added to the injury of not being refunded (despite accepting the fully returned merchandise). I am obviously involving my CC company to be refunded at this point. To be clear, I am not writing this review to strengthen a case for a refund (I feel more than comfortable that I will be made whole by the CC company, as they accepted the entire return and have provided no refund ($3000)). Rather I wanted to communicate to any potential future customer of Atkinson's to BEWARE. Their inventory is nice and the prices competitive, but if there are any issues, you will be at risk. For the level of product, it just doesn't make sense not to purchase elsewhere.

I do, however like their location (close to work) and I like that they're a local business with multiple locations (commercial drive, other 4th ave location). It was kind of like a local, hands on Amazon (given the recent CP strikes, hands on is good!). Or, a cross between Welks and a gritty Daiso. They also have a great selection of bakeware, kitchen timers, utensils, canning and kombucha brewing supplies, rolling pins, and rugs and everything you need for your kitchen, washroom, and home. The sheer magnitude and variety of items is overwhelming, but, now that you can mentally prepare for it, make a list of whatever you might need for your home and kitchen, and head on down.
