I met up with a friend here while visiting from out of town, and she suggested meeting at IKEA…read morespecifically to look at their fabric. I was a little skeptical because I thought they had discontinued their fabric line a few years earlier. I was pleasantly surprised that the fabric selection is officially back! The only thing is that you no longer need to cut your own from a bolt; instead, they sell it in precut 3 meter length. The patterns and quality are just as awesome as they used to be, and it is really convenient if you're working on home textiles or quick craft projects. The only drawback to our visit was the timing. My only piece of advice is to ensure you do not arrive 30 minutes before the store closes. IKEA is simply too massive to navigate efficiently under a time crunch, and you will not have enough time to browse properly. Give yourself a solid window to shop!

Located within walking distance of the Mall of America, this IKEA has all the usual great items,…read moreand an indoor parking lot that will make you very happy throughout the winter. I've been an IKEA fan since they debuted decades ago in the States, and since have been to their stores all over North America and Japan. This one has everything that you would expect, and their customer service was IKEA-level great as always. Had to open our visit with one of their delicious lunch, dining on Swedish meatballs with grave, mashed potatoes, and tasty veggies. It's good pricing, clean, easy. I love this place, and we also bought some household items that are both useful and unique.

Went here with a contractor recently to check out some bath fixtures. They had so many to choose…read morefrom and the staging was beautiful. The staff were really friendly and playful with my toddler. We didn't feel like we were a bother at all and we were mainly left alone to our own devices. However, there was a good amount of staff available to answer any questions. Loved the selection that was in the store. I can't speak to the value because it's my first time looking at fixtures as an adult, so I can't speak to the price -quality ratio. However, I will say most of the nicer bathroom plumbing fixtures were $250+. Here is a pic I took of some of the selections our contractor showed us.

Miranda was my consultant and she listened carefully and helped me understand my various choices given the age of my home and current bath fixtures and codes. She related to me personally and at the same time was able to navigate on her computer to put together 3 options for me to consider. All this in an hour consultation. I did not feel any pressure to buy; it was a total service experience for which I am most grateful. I wil now be able to go to the next phase in my thinking and planning. I am deeply grateful.

Regardless of the location, Le Creuset, the company, provides quality products. I have always had…read moregood experiences with service at these outlets, first in Albertville and then in Eagan. If you want a good value, I have been able to find seconds (discounted, slightly flawed pieces) of their cookware here in the past, but access is not consistent, and they told me they are a location for their popups, where you pay a set amount for a set of pieces. If you want to find discounts for a high quality product, this is the place to look. The staff have always been knowledgeable and helpful, the reviews here are not consistent and I would put that to the quality of reviewer, not the product or service. Le Creuset is the best cookware available and we are lucky to have an outlet. In the absence of it I would go to Cooks in St. Paul.

Actually am writing this review regarding the installation by Dominic. He was simply the best. He called to let me know he was running a little late and told me when he would arrive (think he was within 5 minutes of stated time). That in itself was so respectful and kind. I've worked with a large number of companies and their staff. Dominic one of the first to ever take the time to let me know. Usually they show up sometime within 3-4 hour time frame company promised. If they call it's usually "I'm here in front of your house!" What a gentleman! Was done in an hour. Perfect installation. Could not have been more thorough in explaining care and maintenance. Left the room spotless. Seriously, I never write reviews. But he was impressive. Even looked at some paint samples and gave me honest opinion, so much appreciated. If you are wondering where to buy Cambria or another quartzite product, Select Surfaces is the place! Vicki L.

We worked with Cristine to get our quotes and installation scheduled and she was very helpful. She was very patient while we were selecting the stone and the options. They give you calls as the process makes progress. The first appointment is where they come in and measure your kitchen Countertops using laser to get the accurate measurements. The technician came on time and was very professional. The next appointment is the actual installation. They gave me a call and gave a heads up that the since the stone was too large and if it didn't go in, they might have to take it back to their site, cut it and bring it back. I liked the fact that they gave me this heads up. We had 4 technicians come over to bring the stone inside and they were very thorough in their job. The final installation looks great! I strongly recommend them.

Our visit lasted less than three minutes - rude from the first to the last second!…read more We arrived at 4:35 PM and the first thing we were told was that they'd be closing soon (at 5 PM). Showed them a sample of a countertop we liked (we brought it with us) and the guy - who never did even stand up from his desk - said "nope - don't have one like that" (it was white stone with a bit of gold veining - he didn't even suggest an alternative). Finally when we told him it was for a powder room project he told us that the minimum order was $800. At that point it was crystal clear that he wasn't interested in helping us - HUGE mistake walking in. Anyone with a smaller job should steer clear! It's really easy to see why more and more people go to the "Big Boxes" for things like this. Thankfully American Granite is 100 yard's away!
