I like this shop because it's like someone chose only the best and most interesting items. It makes shopping for your home simple. It's also the best place to buy a gift. The upholstered pieces are top quality and the one of kind antiques blend beautifully with the clean line contemporary items. This should be on everyone's list of places to check out.
Pros: Selection, Variety, Quality

They sell about every type of electronic you might want but outside of their DVD and music selection, the variety isn't that great. If you want something like an antenna, they might have two types. for more specialized electronics, I would look online.
Their staff is helpful without being overly aggressive.

I almost missed this place a few times. Great place to find, cheap china that is durable. Similiar patterns to what you would find in chinese fast food places and other patterns that are just plain neat. A little dark and musty, but bearable for th bargains to be had.

We purchased a Natuzzi leather sectional from the City Schemes in Cambridge, MA. We had to wait longer than expected. However, it was worth the wait. The item arrived directly from Italy in perfect condition. The sofa is absolutely gorgeous. Everybody loves it. Also, the store manager Irina was wonderful. She is very helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. The delivery people were very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional.
Pros: Gorgeous Natuzzi leather sectional
Cons: Worth the wait...

The Bowl and Board is a family-operated homegoods store that sells a nice selection of high quality furniture and home accessories. The wood furniture is all hand-crafted and beautiful. Not your run-of-the-mill mass produced garbage.
The prices here are reasonable when you consider the quality. Great items like cutting boards and baskets actually seem on the par with the prices at cheaper area mass merchants. Definitely good value for your money.

The service here seems to be a bit sporadic, with ladies on the first floor chasing me around to offer help and guys in the basement being nonexistent as soon as I need something. Nonetheless, the selection here is good, ranging from standard hardware items to kitchen, household, and season accoutrements, and if you've got the time to chase down the help you need, the convenient location makes it the perfect place to stop for your household needs.

I went here when I moved into my first apartment. I needed a new futon plus the frame and some other stuff to furnish my digs, so I perused a bunch of shops and discovered that furnishing your apartment is expensive and kind of a pain. But, this gem in Central Square offers stuff at relatively cheap prices and I have never slept on anything so comfortable in my life. They normally dont have necessarily the cheapest prices, but they are all about quality and if you flirt with them, they might even give you a discount.

There aren’t many places to get school furnishings and hardware supplies in the area. It’s a great place to pick up a lamp, a sofa, some cooking supplies, or have an extra key made on the fly. They tend to be a bit pricey, but watch out for their midnight madness sales—you can really score some great deals there.
