TJ Maxx

I periodically stop by their houseware and linen/​towel section. They have great finds! Great for things like a cutting board, mug, fun towels, and pillows!

Very convenient location. They have an extensive housewares section and I’ve at a lot of luck there. Smallish shoe section. Would give it three stars, but they’ve cut their plus size section down to almost nothing. The people who work here seem to be unvaryingly unhappy, but then I’ve worked retail and I know it can really suck.

One of the best Tj Maxx stores I have visited. AWESOME home section. the Fall decorative items are fabulous. I bought tons of them. My apartment will look amazing! Helpful salespeople, too. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t tried this location.

I’m a huge TJ Maxx fanatic and I ADORE the TJM near me in my Seattle ‘burb (in Woodinville, WA, specifically. I’ve gotten 95% of my whole wardrobe here. It’s the best store ever!). But I was severely disappointed in this Boston store. The selection of womens’ clothes was quite small, and we were struck by how the place was somewhat in disarray, with merchandise found in odd racks and shelves, far from where they should be.
The dressing rooms are more restrictive than what we’re used to, with a limit of clothing allowed in the room, and an attendant counting everything (there’s no limit in my usual store). And the bathrooms here are locked, so if you have to go, you need to track down an employee to unlock the door for you (no easy feat at times. Be forewarned!). I suppose that this is an unfortunate necessity in a downtown store in any big city (although I don’t recall this set-​up at any downtown Seattle store). I know it’s commonplace in New York, though. I’m just not used to it.
The reason I’m giving this store such a low rating is two-​fold:
–I was interested in looking at the jewelry counter and getting a necklace or two. At the counter, the sales gal was chatting with a friend of hers on the other side of the counter. They were looking at photos on the friend’s cell phone. I couldn’t get access to or see the jewelry in the display case, as the friend and the sales gal wouldn’t move. There were a few other women near me who were also trying to see what jewelry was in this case, with no luck. The saleslady was oblivious to us all. None of us opted to disrupt the conversation between the two women; it seemed to be personal and involved. (They lost a few potential sales, though, for sure).
–the lady who rung me up at the cash was cold (to put it mildly). No eye contact, no «hello» or «did you find everything ok?» or «thanks for shopping at TJ Maxx» or any small talk. No talk at all, in fact. Just the amount I owed and she handed me my cash. I said «thank you» to her to no reply. Wow. My kids and I sensed this woman hated her job and just didn’t want to be there. But you don’t ignore or be dismissive like this to paying customers. We thought her rude.

This TJ Maxx is great for rummaging around. I always stop by after work or during lunch when I need a break from corporate life. To anyone complaining about the service or selection; this is TJ Maxx, not Nordstrom, lower your expectations.

Average tj maxx. It was a bit crowded but we went on a friday afternoon in the summer. Things were organized neatly and had plenty in stock. Service was around but I didn’t interact with any. They have all the things a regular tj maxx has but just better organized.

This location is ALWAYS busy. A bit on the cluttered and at times unorganized. But, if you’re will to look through a couple or racks of clothing, you might be able to find some hidden gems.
They have everything setup in departments, with hanging signs above the department. They lost a star due to lack of cosmetics in this location. They had a ton of makeup brushes and shampoos, but that was it.
Another star down due to lack of workout cloths that were super short or super tight. Hopefully they’ll have more selections when I visit this location again.

This is one of the best TJ Maxxs in the area. The store is very well laid out, neat, and organized. In addition, they have frequent clearance deals, especially in the home and body sections.

Very small TJ Maxx here in downtown crossing — Boston. They really don’t have much here and the store is kind of messy. But, the prices are pretty good.

Good selection of shoes and there are definitely designer labels to be found here. There’s also tons of skincare and nail polish, and I picked up a Julep polish for around $ 4. The checkout line moves quickly.

An inexpensive place like Marshall’s, but with a bigger selection. Definitely great if you’re looking for bargains or are on a budget. The place is kind of in a perpetual state of disarray and messiness, but that kinda adds to the feel of «bargain hunting».

There are good selections most times and great selections every now and then. Though TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are owned by the same company, they are a couple of stores down here. Go figure!
I recommend going during the weekdays if possible or you maybe standing in what looks like an amusement park ride. Prices are pretty fair on most things, more costly on others. This store is better organized and laid out than its neighbor brother in my opinion.

Overall, this is a good, run-​of-​the-​mill TJ Maxx. I haven’t had any better or worse experience here than I have at other TJ Maxx locations. This one is in a prime spot, though: close to the T and nestled right in Downtown Crossing. The staff is nice, the lighting is good, the place is clean. The deals are what you’d expect from any other TJ Maxx, obviously.
Bonus: if you can’t find what you’re looking for here, Marshall’s is two storefronts down.

Seemed like your typical TJ Maxx except that it was inside a mall. We were looking for toddler shoes since we forgot to pack them for our trip to Boston. Though they had a shoe section, they didn’t have anything for kids, so we went down the street to Marshall’s instead.
Aside from that it seemed fairly average.

I felt like I needed a map walkimg in… or at least a sign saying where different sections are.
Once I found the shoes the slection wasnt huge and Im not a fan of lookimg by size anyway, implies they don’t have many shoes. (General peve: people w size 6 shoes probably cant see the top rack.)

Meh. Selection is okay. If you’ve been to a TJ Maxx, you know what to expect. However, I would echo the comments of others who have reviewed this particular location– customer service is not so hot! I tried on a shirtdress, and I didn’t notice until I got into the fitting room that the seams in the back were totally ripped. I alerted the fitting room lady, who responded, «Uh, so what are you asking me?» I’m not asking you anything– just want to let you know that this is a damaged item and should be labeled as such!
I liked Marshall’s, which is essentially right next door, better. Also, why are these two stores right next to one another– they’re, like, the same thing! Do yourself a favor and check out the Marshall’s in Somerville. It’s more spacious than this TJ Maxx and has a better selection.

FIVE STARS: For the cool junior department so I can get all my pretty «date tops» for the dates that never occur. (Yes they still have the price tag on them, they wait in my closet, patiently… YES «Date Tops» you will have your chance to come out of the closer and be worn some day when I meet someone worth the .5 mm of eyeliner and 1 mL of foundation to venture out with. Until then, «Date Tops» YOU WAIT!”)
Sorry, they get out of hand.
FIVE STARS: Sunglasses selection. All sunglasses I have ever purchased have been here, and under 20 dollars.
ONE STAR: RUDE AND MISERABLE fitting room ladies.
But a great place nonetheless.

This review is mostly for the Runway section of the store. I came by on a Wednesday afternoon just as the first snow flakes started to fall.
I was so excited to visit this TJ Maxx and see what the Runway section had in store. I was so disappointed. Items were not grouped well (i.e. Marc Jacobs dress here, Marc Jacobs pants there). There weren’t many items, and items that were in this section weren’t even Runway items.
Poorly stocked, poorly organized.

It’s no secret that I love designer jeans, and also that I love a good deal. This TJ Maxx fulfills both needs excellently; in fact, every time I’m in Boston I stop by, and usually end up walking out with a couple of pairs of jeans.
I used to shop here when I lived in Boston, and have scored some great finds over the years. But now, it’s all about the «Runway» section for me — I mean, where else can you score brand new Joe’s Jeans, Seven for All Mankind, Rock and Republic, True Religion, etc. for $ 80 or so a pair (depending on the brand)? Never mind that the selection is huge, which adds to the awesomeness. On my most recent trip in, I also scored some cute sunglasses that were on sale. YAY!
The store is not the most tidy, as there are always things crammed on the racks, on the floor, etc., but if you’re willing to dig a bit and overlook the chaos, there are great deals to be had. I’m definitely a fan.

T-​J-​maxx est un grand magasin où je né suis venue qu’une fois, mais qui a réussi à me marquer. Le magasin se compose de deux étages (d’après mes souvenirs assez vagues): le rez de chaussé rassemble les vêtements, sacs, et parfum et l’étage du haut, les outils ménagers.
Les vêtements proposés vont de la friperie aux vêtements de marque (Ralph lauren, calvin klein…). Par ailleurs, les habits de marques né coûtent rien du tout. Pour preuve, j’ai trouvé un polo Ralph lauren à seulement 17 dollars.
T-​j maxx est un magasin plutôt modeste où si on fouille bien, on peut dénicher de sacré «merveilles».

So you’re new to Boston. You work downtown and are about to T home to Allston/​Somerville/​the South End and realize you have nothing in which to cook your ramen noodles.
Cue TJ Maxx.
This is my go-​to store when I am looking for homegoods, from frying pans to bathroom storage to warm winter blankets. This section of the store never ceases to amaze me with its selection of cookware in all colors and sizes, and fitting for all price ranges. I just got a great frying pan here for $ 10, and it’s stylish too. Their selection of purses and suitcases is solid as well, and offers great variety for every budget.
The rest of the store loses a star for being a little hard to find things. The dress section is tolerable, but the women’s clothing in general tends to be a mess.
The whole place (and the atmosphere) is much friendlier than Marshalls downstairs. Between the homegoods, the luggage, and the other things I didn’t know I needed until I saw them there, this is one of my favorite stores in downtown Boston.
