    I get in this store and easily spend too much money, buying things that I didn't even know that I needed. There is such an eclectic assortment of guilty pleasures from which to choose! There are the typical basketry of all sizes and shapes, candles, soaps, knickknacks and novelties, but also some very unique food, coffees, teas, condiments, spices, and groceries. I found some sugar-free syrups that I have been ordering online and having to pay shipping! There was a large cooking section with a gadget for any need. This is certainly the place to find the perfect gift for anyone or any occasion. I was super impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the store and with the associates. When the line for checkout began to get greater than 3 deep, an extra associate was quickly called to the registers. Every associate with whom I interacted was super nice and helpful. The store is located in the Shelbyville Road Plaza so parking is plentiful. The World Market Website states that the goods sold are handmade from around the world. That is likely true for many of the items, but I did see a great deal of mass-produced items too. I'm sure that I will return whenever I have a 'hankering' to redecorate or have gift-giving needs!

    Visiting family in a neighboring city and decided to check this place out. I found many interesting buys for myself and family. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. They have unique furniture, dry goods and items from around the world. Something to peek everyone's interest. This place is definitely worth stopping in.

    Quite an eclectic mix of home goods from food and spices to furniture, clothing and kitchen paraphernalia. If you take the time to browse the pristine isles you will find some great deals. My wife and I purchased discounted low carb coffee flavorings, olive oil and a cold brew coffee apparatus. The staff were prompt, courteous and observed all COVID mandated guidelines. The store is located in a busy mall area off of Shelbyville road in the St. Matthews area of Louisville. Getting into and out of this destination is a challenge but worth it.

    Cost Plus is a bit of a guilty pleasure when it comes to buying unique items and food items. Despite being located in a very over crowded shopping plaza, this is just a nice place to come and browse all the aisles. COVID precautions are in full effect and there is even curbside delivery that is offered during this time. My favorite spot to browse is the food item sections. I love the candies and chocolates native to where they are coming from. I was highly satisfied with my choice of a lemon drizzle Kit Kat. The trinkets are also another plus to this awesome store. The items are very unique and all the gadgets are fun to check out and attempt to use. If in the area, I definitely recommend checking it out and browsing.

    The hardest part of visiting Word Market...is getting out without maxing out my credit card! The thing I hate about this particular World Market is it's location. I mean, naturally, a store like this will be near the mall(s) in any given city or town. But Shelbyville Road is a mess. I hate driving out there. This last weekend the right hand lane on that side of the street was moving slower than the people walking on the sidewalk! But....such is the nature of the beast! Everything here is just so cute! There are unique and lovely furniture pieces, fun art, rugs and pillows and kitchenware. Oh my! There are also fun and interesting food stuffs from unfamiliar places! And there is a small attached wine and beer store. I love looking for something new to try. It is a joy to walk around and explore and decorate my home in my head. Somethings are affordably priced and somethings are still pretty pricey. But I do really think there is something for everyone here. The store is clean and well organized and you can certainly find what you are looking for (and many things you aren't looking for but suddenly want!) I will absolutely be back. And I will gladly take one of everything, thank you!

    I love this place! I especially love their kitchen collection. There is always something new to discover in this store, even for my overstuffed foodie kitchen. Today I found this ridiculous-yet-useful Pizza Scissor Server. Yes, it is a huge pair of scissors that has a server attached to them. You can slice and serve with one swoop. You must check out my picture to see its silly ingenuity. Then there is the Mugly: ugly sweater for your mugs. I also found this pomegranate seeder. Has anyone ever found a good way to separate the jewels from a pomegranate without sacrificing lots of juice? World Market has the answer! And if you need a paella pan, this is also the place. World Market also has a collection of beautiful handmade jewelry that looks like they came straight out of pages of Sundance Catalog...but at a fraction of the cost...like 10%. (I understand that Sundance says they pay their artisans a fair wage...but I have trouble believing the huge difference.) I practiced self control and only bought 2 pairs of earrings...this time. World Market also has a vast world foods section plus coffee and teas. If you are making a gourmet basket as a gift, this is the best place for it. I am also a fan of their furniture. The selection is not unlike that of Pier 1. But I am a bigger fan of WM than Pier 1. It is just so much brighter and less claustrophobic in here.

    Packaging was excellent and extremely secure.

    I've always enjoyed World Market. The store is very neatly organized without feeling over crowded with stuff, stuff, and too much stuff. In other words, I always feel like I can take my time strolling the store and not feel like I've missed anything that I might want to add to the purchase balance. I especially enjoy their wine selection and food section. WM got me attached to an organic wine that they no longer carry. Oh well...that's alright. Each new wine I've tried I've enjoyed and that's because their staff have always been confidently knowledgeable of their "around the world" selection. I ask a question and their answer always rolls off their tongue without hesitation. From taste to finish to heaviness to comparisons based on my preferences. They promote great sales for members where if you buy 4 bottles of wine you get 20% off. That turned out to be a free bottle for me. I've not tried any of the wines - the sales lady recommended all of them based on my taste preference. Risky approach, but based on my previous experience (from Atlanta to Houston) with having positive outcomes / recommendations I'm willing to take the chance. Foods, spices, teas, coffees, and candy are always a joy to peruse. You can easily find familiars and newbies. And believe me when I say it's highly likely you'll be satisfied with trying a newbie. I purchased Lemon Snap cookies (nicely displayed next to Ginger Snaps) the other day and oh boy...they are really, really tasty. I'd also like to add the quality packaging. The packaging is thick and tightly sealed to help keep my lemon cookies fresh. The purpose of my visit was to purchase a laptop table. I searched online high and low and finally came across WM. Of all places I visited online WM had the widest selection. It was greatly priced with a 10% discount. It had to be assembled, which took me approximately 30 minutes. It was not a difficult task, but I did have to unassemble and then reassemble because I didn't do a couple of things correctly, even with me reading and following the directions. I should have known myself better, as I usually do better if I read the instructions backwards. In other words, seeing how the end product looks and working my way to the beginning is how I roll sometimes. I'm happily satisfied with my purchase. The table is very sturdy, solid, and guess what??....it doesn't wobble! It's got great weight to it, so it feels far from cheap. Have fun checking out carefully selected great products from around the world!

    Bought the Zoe rug blue Persian. Looks perfect with my sofas! So super soft!! Everyone comments on the texture! Feels like velvet! Even my dog loves it!

    Fun idea to share with during a holiday party.

    I like visiting this place during holidays. It's such a cute store, with lots of little ideas for gifts or a sweet tooth. They have a little of everything such as International inspirations, candy treats, kitchen gadgets, holiday decorations, coffee/tea, clothing, alcohol beverages, great gift ideas, essential body oils/soaps/lotions, and furniture. This time I left with several of items I wasn't expecting to buy. A mini box of fresh honeycomb was to hard to resist. I just had to try for the first time. Some rose facial mist and natural bar soaps were a must. They smelled so good I couldn't resist. Last, I don't think you can leave this place without grabbing a German inspired treat. This place is so much fun even if you are just window shopping. Great place to pick up some holiday decoration ideas too.

    I ran into this store by accident and after visiting, here's what I understand. Ballard Designs is…read morea company owned by Williams Sonoma, and has a similar feel to it as Pottery Barn. This is the first outlet in Louisville and was originally announced as a temporary location; however, it must be doing well enough to have stayed in place. It took over the space vacated by the now bankrupt Steinmart. There is nothing fancy about this spot. It very much feels like a dumping site for furniture and is organized by type/room. It is a land of rejected, broken pieces. The signage attempts to excite you - 50% off or more - but then you flip the tag to find out it is still outrageously overpriced on top of being broken. The facility is large, and most workers were either at the front desk or helping people wedge items into their trucks. I appreciated watching the quiet nature of the staff today as a customer carried on a conversation with the customer service team via her cell phone. She was a lot to handle and you could tell they didn't want to escalate the situation. Apparently this spot has a following. Bring a large pocketbook ... and duct tape.

We always bring our own tape measure but staff were walking around the showroom with them. We needed a very specific size for our living room. I like that their website also items that are available in their showroom. We paid to have our couch delivered. Delivery staff notified us of delivery the day prior. I appreciated the 30 minute heads up prior to delivery on that day. The two men that delivered our couch had attention to detail & were quick in the process. Thank you for a great buying experience!

You know how the old saying goes if sounds too good to be true it most likely is. My wife and I went to overstock on Saturday the 18th and at checkout we inquired about hauling away our old furniture when they deliver our new and we were told to just discuss it with the drivers and work out an arrangement with them. The manager told us that he had never heard of anyone being turned down. We spoke to the delivery drivers, and they were as frustrated as we were as this has happened 5 or 6 times in the last week and wished the salespeople would quit telling customers this as it just isn't so. The delivery drivers were very professional and just trying to their jobs no complaints. Once we found out that the old furniture was going to be left on our front lawn because they could not take it I refused the shipment. This gets more ridiculous as customer support for LOW is telling me how sorry she is with no resolution. I told her if you are going to apologize for something it should follow with an action to show sincerity of the apology. She followed up by telling me there would be a 10% restocking fee I am assuming that was the nice gesture from LOW. So now I have no new furniture and before the 18th of July I had 1900.00 which now I have 1578.24. There is two things I would like to see happen from this review as well as the complaint I have made with the BBB. First, I would like the remaining balance that LOW stole from me returned secondly, I would like LOW to explain more clearly to their future customers what they are getting into. This would avoid these types of situations. For those that do happen to read this just a suggestion if you have old furniture, you need removed make sure you get a CRYSTAL-CLEAR explanation of how, who, and when it will be removed. You may want to demand something in writing as they do. I WILL NOT BE BACK TO LOW!

Stools weren't meant to be pushed under as they are the same height of the counter top. This caused peeling of the paint immediately. Called customer service only to be on hold forever until I never spoke with a human. Drove to my local store to ask who I could speak with regarding the issue and was simply given a business card with the same information I found online . Kept the stools since I had no other choice and now stools are wobbly and paint is cracking on the back portion of the stools. I've bought better quality furnishings at TJ Maxx. I can't believe I invested so much money into completely worthless stools. these stools aren't even used but 2x a year when we have guests for Thanksgiving and Christmas, they shouldn't look like they've been used in a frequented eating establishment.

What I appreciate is their classic style also captures something more unique than other stores - maybe with a pattern or edging or color, etc. Also it's not one particular style. Some things I loved, others not so much but this means another person will be happy to find it. With it being summer they offered a few patio sets as well - just amazing with huge umbrellas and sectional seating. Perfect for a fair skinned gal like me that prefers being in the shade. I'll be in the market for bedroom furniture soon and doubt I'll do it again in my lifetime. Maybe this is the spot to revisit when I'm ready?
