Stein Mart

Yes — I’m a fan of this Steinmart — after trawling the mall looking for deals on decent stuff rather than junk — I remembered to come here. I did great for Xmas here — good stuff at the right prices. They have lots of styles worth buying here (previous comments about fourth grade teacher clothes are a bit absurd) — and a nice housewares area with gifts and gadgets sold cheaper than the mall. Good lingerie department too.

I remember 6 or 7 years ago, when this Stein Mart opened, and there was a sense of general excitement in the air — look how big it’s going to be! I wonder what great deals I snag here! Do you think they’ll offer discounts to frequent shoppers?!
Here we are today, and I’ve YET to find anything worth buying in this palce. I stopped in last week in search of a discounted dress, but all I found were stiff, high-​colored maiden frocks in clashy, bright colors. I second the reviewer below — most of the clothing reminds you of 1990s elementary school teacher style, all fit to be paired with a multi-​colored macaroni necklace.
Worse still, a lot of the stuff is still way expensive, especially in the homegoods department. Save your time and head to TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, or Homegoods instead.

I don’t know why the other reviewers are hatin’ on Stein Mart. I have been looking for rectangular silk scarves to outfit the ladies who work for me in for some time. I actually called Sara Canuso who is the owner of A Suitable Solution for advice on where to go for reasonably priced scarves and she suggested Stein Mart. I ended up buying four scarves at $ 6.50 each and two more ties for my guys (Geoffrey Beene $ 15 each). Ties are better priced and more numerous at Boscov’s in Plymouth Meeting but I hadn’t located any scarves there. They had a decent assortment of lots of items that maybe one wouldn’t find elsewhere — nice backings for post earrings, eyeglass cloths, etc. The place reminded me of that grouping of stores such as Ross, Burlington, TJ Maxx. The Stein Mart is tucked away in a shopping center barely visible from the road that I drove right past it — thank goodness for the Garmin!

I may be biased because I grew up working in this place but it really is a nice getaway from the larger department store retailers. I always enjoyed the unique finds in the gifts/​home department and their selection on men’s casual clothing has dramatically improved over the years IMO. The staff has always been super attentive and understand that customer service is a top priority within the Stein Mart company. If you never have… you must check it out.

perfect if you wanted to capture the look your 4^th grade teacher had going on in 1990.
one star for being funny, one star because they do carry discounted designer handbags like coach and D&B.
