I just LOVE Hema. As an American shopping in the Netherlands, I found absolutely nothing to…read morecomplain about at Hema (& was at 3 of them). The store was well lit, well organized, user friendly & carries some of the MOST BASIC items for women. (for men too I guess but I didn't really look at the men's dept.) Cotton & lycra blend tops----long sleeve, tank, short sleeve, hip length, & mid thigh---in all colors, neutrals, cerulean blue & black-- about $12-$14. Who doesn't need these? Fold up "down jacket" that was $39, (I got it on a special for $15). Faux leather tote, $29. Well fitting bras, $13. I found several pair of earrings on special $1.00. Faux leather passport/wallet-$12. I must add that everything has been washed & is of superior quality & hasn't shrunk. The tote & wallet are in still perfect condition, after months of use. ($$'s rounded off from euros) Kids clothes were amazingly priced compared to the States & if I had a larger suitcase I would have bought for my grand-daughter. Styles that were so much nicer & well made for a fraction of the cost at the Gap or Old Navy. Oh & check out their make-up dept. Super good quality, great selection & all for cheap prices. I will be back!!

Well worth it if you are in the area and are hungry. The food there is just standard La Place food but the view is what makes it great. The store itself is pretty big and I would say offers a cheap to mid price range worth of merchandize. Sometimes you can find good deals depending on when you go.

Store is filing for bankruptcy so review probably shouldn't matter but still would like to mention…read morethe rudeness of customer service. My husband bought me a coat for Christmas that didn't fit and they told him if I needed to I can take it back for store credit. I browsed and found nothing so I decided to get house stuff instead. Brought it to customer service and was told I could only get store credit for the brand name of the coat that was bought. I seriously never heard of such a thing but fine. I went back and just picked a few things and the one of the pants I bought were incorrectly marked so it was more than my credit. I said well just take them off and give me the remaining in store credit. She said she couldn't do that but still took the pants off leaving the store with a gain of 11 euros. I said I'm not giving you the 11 euros so please put the pants back on and I'll pay the increase. She took my money and not so nicely gave me me my change and walked away.

I have made a strong effort to stay away from any diffuser that says warning on the box for any reason. If it is really a natural product, then the box will not have a warning sign on it at all.

I am somewhat in the middle when it comes to this shop. A few things I like in Wonen & Meer and…read moremost of the items I could care less. I stop by here only to check out their lampshades. They actually have a variety of different lamp shades and the price is really inexpensive. As for the quality of some of the lampshades, it may be another story, but don't mind me I am just really selective. However they have a few unique items in here. Normally I pass right on by the shop, because it never struck me as a store with a lot of quality, it seem more on the cheap side. However I was really surprise to see some really nice mirrors in here. I would say this shop is more ideal for accessories.
