I had a large photograph mounted on some matting and placed within a nice wooden frame. The service I received was decent, and the attendant went out of his way to offer me a competitive deal. The work was professionally done. One potential caveat: I think pricing goes up if you bring in a frame that is not sold by Cheap Pete's. In my case, I had a frame that I previously had acquired from Cheap Pete's.
PROS: Reliable and professional framing service.
CONS:

I specially like their section on $1 tools. Incredible! A friend of mine actually got a flat the other day and I used my $1 wrench to work on his tire. Cool!
REALLY GOOD finds!

My husband & I had been researching dining room sets -- we found a gorgeous one we both really loved at a popular very quality location. They gave us a quote (which they said was significantly discounted). Prior to purchasing it, a friend of ours mentioned that they had had great success at House of Values & we really should look into it. We were able to purchase the full Dining Room set thru House of Values at a significantly lower price. It was all delivered to our home as scheduled. We will definitely use them again!

If you have time to spend wandering around a large store in search of exotic things, then I would suggest taking a trip down to Cost Plus. Whether you are looking for furniture or other smaller furnishings, Cost Plus is the place to go if you're looking for uniqueness and flare. For decent prices you can find a variety of things, including edibles and other enticingly cute buys. The specialize in carrying a range of items from all over the world bringing a sense of culture to the store. The customer service is excellent and they are exactly everything they are cracked up to be.
PROS: great variety
CONS: lots of people

Bath and Body Works is the perfect place to go to if you want to find a nice gift for a close friend or even an aquantance. This location is located in the Hillsdale Mall which allows shoppers to wander around other stores for gift ideas. Bath and Body Works has a great team of people ready and willing to help you out and they carry just about every fragrance you can think of. For good prices you can find presents for everyone to indulge themselves in. I say this is a good place for presents for people that you really don't know what else to get them.
PROS: prices are decent.
CONS: lots to smell.

Just moved here from Florida ,purchased a beautiful home in the "Park" and needed Lots & Lots of info and help.We visited numerous nurseries but were disappointed with the service,info,prices ,quality @ most shops.My daughter's school principle recommended Central Garden Center.We never knew the place was there , even though we shop downtown.What a great "FIND".Everyone is friendly,helpful and knowledgeable.They helped get us started with great foundation plants and some beautiful sod.They delivered the plants ,helped place them and made some suggestions for other plants while they were at our home.We've shopped elsewhere but always seem to go back to Central Garden Center.As far as 'Real' nurseries go in the area,dollar for dollar they have been our best source.
Pros: Quality, Prices, Knowledge, Service, Selection

Sort of a specialized department store, it's pretty nice when you get their monthly 20% off one item coupons and head to this store to grab that one towel or kitchen tool you've been wanting for your place. It's kind of fun to wander from section to section and be able to decorate your home for a pretty inexpensive price tag. This location looks the same as the rest of them, but has the advantage of being in a nice, spacious plaza with tons of parking.

I have bought a lot of furniture from them. their designs are very modern and simplistic. The prices are super. They carry Eames style furniture and the upholstered ones have a lot of fabric and color options. They also carryupscale bed linen from shamiana brand that I ddo not find anywhere else. Good to get decorating ideas too. The staff is friendly and helpful.
