Pier 1 Imports

When I was younger I had the papasan chair that Pier One is famous for. You know, those large round wicker chairs that have a huge cushion and look like they are hard to get out of? I had the matching futon too. Twenty five years later I no longer sleep on a futon and my taste in furniture no longer includes papasan chairs.
Pier One is not really one of my favorite stores. I think the prices are high for the products they sell. I was cleaning out my wallet and I found a gift card I received for Xmas. I know they usually have a good candle selection and I can never have to many candles, so off I went. My intention was to run in and buy a candle and leave quickly. That didn’t happen because I loved this store so much, I spent a good half hour browsing through the store. And I didn’t think they were overpriced at all. In fact I thought the prices were fairly reasonable.
I love a good bargain and they had a lot of clearance items in addition to 20% off tons of different things. They have a huge selection of throw pillows, lamps, tableware, candles, trays, papasan chairs, furniture, wine glasses and just so much more. The lighting is dimmed and the store is loaded with various displays set up randomly throughout the store. I had a lot of fun shopping here.
I wound up purchasing two very large peach ginger scented candles. They were originally priced at $ 16.99 each but I found them on a clearance table for just $ 9.99! I also picked up a simple but pretty glass tray to place the candle on.
The two employees I dealt with were both professional and they really wanted to help. I love great customer service and this store nailed it. If I can change one thing it would be to brighten up the store a bit. The dim lighting made shopping a little difficult but luckily I was able to use my flashlight that’s on my phone to help me see.
The checkout process was smooth. And I received a 20% off coupon for my next visit too. I regret staying away for so long because Pier One is a fantastic store. I definitely will be coming back here to shop for myself as well as to shop for gifts for family and friends. Check out the clearance tables when you go, they have great items drastically reduced. And who doesn’t love a bargain?
