Macy’s Backstage

What a wonderful addition to Queens Place. Macy’s Backstage took over the old Daffy’s location. Although the have the same concept I actually prefer Macy’s Backstage over Daffy’s any day. The prices here are significantly cheaper.
The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the cleanliness and the bags displayed oh so neatly in the left hand corner. I’m a sucker for cleanliness. Throw a bag or two in the mix and I’m all yours! I was pleasantly surprised with the aesthetically pleasing presentation of products.
So pleased that I went downstairs to compare their prices to DSW and came back up to MB to purchase a makeup bag for $ 6 cheaper. One thing I’ll have to say is that there’s no sales associates walking the floor to help you should you need it. You’re left alone and not harassed until you check out.

I’ve passed Macy’s Backstage quite a few times. It looked interesting and I wondered what it was all about. Yesterday at Macy’s in Queens Center they were giving out five dollar gift cards to Macy’s Backstage so I figured that would be a good excuse for me to finally go there and see what it offered.
Macy’s Backstage is in the spot in the Target mall where Daffy’s used to be. When Daffy’s occupied the spot, it was kind of dingy and dank. I still get the same feeling at Macy’s Backstage, but at least the items they have here are much nicer than anything Daffy’s ever had.
Macy’s Backstage is Macy’s answer to let’s say T.J. Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory. Basically, it’s an outlet store. Items of last season at bargain prices. Yeah, the styles of the clothing are last season, but unless you are Kate Moss, do you really care? I got a pair of Rampage jeans here for twelve bucks! Can’t go wrong there. They have cosmetics, perfume, accessories, a shoe section, clothing, housewares, snacks, etc. They had a Comptoir Sud Pacifique perfume for only twenty dollars. Boots for twenty dollars. If you have some patience to look through everything, you’ll walk away with some fantastic deals!
Dressing rooms are nice and clean. They have those wooden slatted doors which are see through so I’m not a huge fan of them. Friendly associates. If you have a Macy’s gift card, you can use it here. You can also use your Plenti card. There are also some benches on the inside of the store by the exit, which is nice.
I’m very glad that I gave Macy’s Backstage a chance. Although, it’s not going to be good for my wallet. Even though the prices are dirt cheap!

It’s new, clean and has a decent selection of clothing & merchandise, particularly health and beauty products. Pricing isn’t too bad here either. The only con I see is the lack of things for really skinny girls. The XS & ⁰⁄₂ items are in small supply here, which kind of sucks. If you wear a larger size, you could really clean up here.
