William Sonoma

I always like popping in here to see what new amazing who would have this in their kitchen anyway gadget they have and to sample whatever goodies they may have cooking/​bubbling on their stove. Staff has always been pretty good but this time they really impressed me.
I called wanting a special apple peeler/​corer and the salesperson said she would put one on hold for me until I got there as I didn’t want to drive all the way over to Easton. A few minutes after hanging up she called me back apologizing that the computer said they had it in stock but she couldn’t find any in the back thus saving me a trip there.
Now that is what I’m talking about as far as customer service!

This Williams Sonoma is better than the one at Easton. It seems better appointed and the staff seems friendlier. Whenever they are out of something at the Easton store, this one seems to have it.
Really, I should just stop going to the Easton location and come right here. The drawback is that it is a good trek from where I live. Not its fault, but it still isn’t the most convenient location for me.

The high end culinary store in Polaris Mall is one of the two Williams Sonoma locations in Columbus (the other being at Easton). I am a kitchen-​things-​aholic and can’t get enough of this store. William Sonoma carries everything from cookware, bakeware and linens to gourmet foods, small electrics and a vast array of cooking utensils.
The service at this particular location is fabulous, mostly because the folks who work here love cooking and believe in the products they sell. Plus, they know the products inside out and can make expert suggestions. It’s low pressure shopping. If you are in the market for a big ticket item, like a Kitchen Aid mixer, Wusthof knife block or All Clad pots and pans, it makes a lot of sense to shop at a store that stands 100% behind it’s products… you can’t beat the lifetime warranty William Sonoma offers on top of the manufacturers warranty.
William Sonoma also offers various in-​store cooking and technique demonstrations free to those who sign up in advance. Check with the store to see what they have going on, especially around the holidays. I’ve attended pie making, side dish and turkey-​carving classes around Thanksgiving. Quite often, they have free samples of featured food products along with recipes and cooking tips. If you don’t see something you need, just ask as many items can be special ordered or are carried in only the catalogue or via internet.
I’m suddenly in the mood to go shopping!
