I love this cute little store. The staff greets me, then leaves me alone until I need something. In Good Taste may not have quite as vast a selection as Sur La Table (I shop at Sur La Table also), but their prices are much more reasonable. The same tiny Epicurean cutting board that I saw at Sur La Table for $13.95 was $9.95 at In Good Taste. Seriously, a $4 mark up at Sur La Table. They also have biodegradable bags. So, go to In Good Taste first. If you don't find what you need, go down a few blocks to Sur La Table.
Pros: Not corporate, better prices, environmentally friendly, good selection, helpful (but not annoying) staff
Cons: If you're looking for something VERY specific, you might not find EXACTLY what you need?

We had a great experience at Shleifer Furniture. We found the people at Shleifer to be very helpful and patient. I'll admit that I am picky but had no trouble finding the perfect fabric for our new sofa, they had a great selection. They had what we were looking for at a reasonable price. We were especially happy being able to shop at a locally owned store. We were also pleased with the delivery service, they were professional and showed up when they said they would. We will definitely go back when we need a chair, a bed or any furniture.
Pros: helpful staff, easy to find
Cons: none

My husband and I searched all over for a great couch at a good price. We almost decided on one at Macy's but happened to stumble on Broadway Furniture. I was very impressed with their selection--and the prices. The salesman who helped us was not a hard-sell person. He let us wander and look. He answered our questions. We found a couch we liked. The delivery experience was also terrific. We would definately shop there again.
Pros: No high-pressure sales people; family owned

Bed Bath and Beyond is my favorite place to find odds and ends for my house. Need a couple extra forks or knives? They sell them individually for a reasonable price. Watch for coupons!

I was so excited to hear this store was opening close to home. I had heard what a great place it was and now I know why. It's kinda like IkEA meets Dania......SO MUCH TO LOOK AT. And, the prices are great. I've got my eye on a dinning set!!

Hey, I've shopped at French Quarter for years and don't understand the last posting. I think FQ is one of the most dependable stores in town and I've never had an issue with service. In fact, I think the sales staff is way above average. I'll admit that prices are high, but it's also very high-end product they sell. So, like clothes and cars, there's a reason for higher prices. When you get a chance, check out the store, because it's beautiful. Overall, I think this is an excellent establishment.
Pros: staff, selection, quality
Cons: prices, order time, parking

There's nothing like sleeping on the sheets from the Compleat Bed & Breakfast. The only thing that compares is how easy the friendly and knowledgable staff made it to get the right linens for me! If you are interested in fine linen this is a great place to learn the basics and dive in! Great gifts and home accessories too :^)
Pros: Friendly, knowledgable staff; Great style; Quality products
Cons: Parking

My wife and I we're out looking for bedroom furniture all day and finally our last stop was the Bedroom Superstore. We also dealt with the infamous Nathan (see below) and he was very pleasant to work with and extremely informative. This guy knows his stuff! He worked out an amazing deal for us that no other furniture store could. We did spend 10 thousand also but what we got in return was astounding! We also dealt with Wiley, the warehouse manager and he made sure that he kept in communication with us about when our furniture was being delivered and we couldn't have been happier with the whole process! Having popcorn & cookies there for the kids didn't hurt either! I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Pros: The Excellent Customer Service
Cons: They only carry bedroom furniture, i'd buy all my furniture there if I could!
