Pier 1 Imports

Pier 1 Imports offers a wide array of contemporary home goods for decorating the home. There is plenty of parking available. The staff have been friendly, accessible and very helpful. They carry a host of home goods from dishes, glassware, candles, scented oils, artificial plants, pictures & frames, lamps, chests, stands and miscellaneous tchotcke’s. They often carry seasonal items. I will often look for items that are on sale when here, because their prices seem a bit more for the kind of quality goods.

I Slipped in to the pier 1 on Sawmill this morning after having breakfast at the Honey baked store (YUM!). What a horrible disappointment!!! I’ve been looking for accent pieces and tables and pier 1 usually is a pretty good place to find them. it wasn’t at all busy, I found a few items I liked and a set of pocket tables I wanted to buy.
Not one of the 6, yes SIX sales clerks even bothered to to say Hi or the ask the standard, cheesy greeting, «What brings you in today?». I’ll state that I was wearing my work jeans and a gardening jacket so I didn’t look at all like the snooty Dublin housewife who was being fawned over by a clerk when I came in.(She left without buying a thing) Needless to say, I won’t be going back to that store, There are other Pier 1 stores that actually take time to greet customers and try to make them comfortable in the store.
Bottom line is The Sawmill pier 1 store staff needs to go back to customer service school! I wont spend my money in your store without BASIC customer service. if I wanted bad service I would go to Walmart.

Stopped in here on the way to another store in the area. I havent been to a Pier 1 store in a while and thought I would stop here since I was in the neighborhood. Having worked at another P1 store in the area, I kind of felt ‘lost’ or confused in this store. I think it is because I was so used to the layout of the store where I worked, and compared it to this store.
Overall the aisles seemed to be very cluttered and had to be very careful not to allow my purse to accidently knock something over. The store associates were very friendly and offered to help me find what I am looking for. I made my way around the store and picked up a few items. Great store!

Ok yeah I know I’m a girly girl, but I just love the way this store smells. All of their great scented candles had me at sniff… they had me at sniff. Honestly, when you think of Pier 1 you think $$$$ but really they are fairly reasonable… well except for the furniture. You can go in and get some really great ideas for decorating your home. I’m a big home decorator so love to come here on occassion to see what they have. Lots of wall décor, tableware, did I mention the scented candles?, pillows, curtains, rugs, if it’s home décor they more than likely have it. I got the cutest napkin holders for under $ 3 each, heck even Walmart cheapy holders are more than that. The staff is very friendly and will help you with any questions you may have. To be honest with you this is my first visit to the store in quite awhile, but it reminded me of why I need to go back more — Prices, quality & selection oh and the… yeah you guessed it scented candles. Guys go pick one up & surprise your lady… it’ll earn you cool points for sure.
