Now I'm not their usual target demographic, but I appreciate the family history and their legacy in Wheat Ridge. The original business used to be next door, which now functions as an event space and storage. This store, however, is two floors and filled to the brim. To give perspective on their audience, my mother would absolutely love this place. Having said that, I do appreciate quality florals and bouquets. Heck, I even have a gardenia tattooed on my forearm! Well, my wife was due for a beautiful arrangement, and I was able to find one here. The best part? These flowers actually last! Not like the cheap ones you buy at the grocery store. For the past 10 days, the flowers have brightened up our dining room table. The woman I spoke with was very kind and helpful. I hope they continue to have premade bouquets on hand, because it makes it very easy on the buyer to get in and get out. PS, love the old working cash register they have!

I talked with Heidi, who was very nice. She put together a bouquet when I told her my budget was around $100. That said, the bouquet is beautiful, however I feel like I should have paid about half that at many other retailers. Truly, the bouquet is small, and even compared to others on their website for the same price range, it's not great. I paid, although I was not happy, because I follow through on my word. Don't get me wrong, it is very pretty, just not what I'd expect for $50, let alone $100. Not to mention, it's not a vase. It's a jar, that resembles a pickle jar.

Since early July I have been on a mission to find a particular Biltmore collection vinyl runner for my front door. I have searched endlessly on several sites and then I found theirs. It was so well organized and I was shocked to find EXACTLY what I was looking for in less than a minute. Yet what makes this business especially great is the owner Chris. Minutes after I made my online purchase, she emailed me to let me know that the company was running behind and there could be a delay in my receiving the rug. She wanted to know if I still wanted it. You rarely find customer service like that anywhere. From start to finish this has been such a pleasant seamless experience. I just received the rug and it exceeds my expectations. Thank you Chris and "Outside the Box"!
