GDC Home

This is a beautiful store and Chandler was a delight to work with… pleasant, knowledgeable, and so great at helping me in my decisions. I will be returning to do business with this company AND Chandler!

I am quite surprised at these negative reviews. I have visited a friend in Beaufort the past two winters and going to GDC has been the highlight of our charleston shopping experience… the selections are great and the service was quite good. But my most recent encounter is what prompted me to write. We are building a new home in New England and I have been shopping for fabric and home décor wherever I travel. In February I purchased fabric to recover some outdoor cushions. Found some great Sunbrella at the Mount Pleasant store, but of course, I didn’t buy enough. Talked to Amanda and she not only found the fabric quickly, she honored the price I had originally paid, and it was shipped that afternoon and my upholsterer will have it this week. Amanda was so delightful to work with that I went ahead and ordered 35 pillow inserts from GDC that I could have gotten locally. I love this store and its great selections… it should not be missed.

You know… I had the same experience… i knew it was not the place for me… it is a really big mistake to make a calculation about who walks in the door and whether a salesperson will even greet them and make an effort to see if they could be of assistance. i don’t know what yardstick they use to size us all up… is it shoes or handbag… every time i drive by there… i wonder how they stay in business… never will go in there again… ever

I need to buy furniture for my entire house so I went to GDC on the recommendation of a friend. None of the employees spoke to me or acknowledged me in any way. Some reviewers mentioned they were in workout attire. I was dressed nicely, with jewelry and makeup. I was there on a weekday and they weren’t even busy. I’ll take my business somewhere else.

This was not the shopping experience I was expecting. With all the recent media advertising, I was expecting to stock up on hostess gifts and Christmas gifts; however, there was very little merchandise priced at 50% off … and, what was available was picked over or odds and ends. Did I find my new living room chair? Not today! The advertised 15% off was only a ‘drop in the bucket’ relative to the original cost of the high end merchandise on display.
Perhaps, I might have scoured the room settings a little longer … and, maybe, I might have found a gem … but no one approached me … so after 20 minutes, I walked out.

I am a designer by trade and do mostly upholstery work. I love the selection from this store… I mean lov (ED). the selection of fabric has gone downhill and there are barely any samples that are cut to take to the projects. So much is now «to order» and I can’t take samples to my clients for approval. Clients love hands on and cannot visualize without material in hand. The service just sucks here. I needed a sample to be cut because even on the rolls that should be cut, they aren’t stocked, but I had to wait while the clerk BS about kids and high school and columbia with a client WHILE working on something for a different lady and I sat waiting… FOR A SAMPLE… only to be told they don’t have one and can’t cut one, but i could purchase ¼ yard of fabric… NOW if I did that for all my clients projects I would be broke. Needless to say, love to shop local and have hands on, but once again, I will have to turn my back on this business due to lack of professionalism, lack of stock and not ONE sales person looked up to help ANY of the customers in that store… not even the girl at the desk looked up at clients walking in to greet them.

As I’m furniture shopping I was told to come to a local store, GDC. My price range was between 1−3k. As I walked around I said hi to the group of girls working the register and got nothing. Then as me and my partner walked around the store we were not helped once. I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. To all that I say good bye GDC and hello Ethan Allen and Pottery Barn. If this treatment was due to my coming in on gym cloths that is still not an excuse for such behavior to anyone you want to sell to.

I was in Mount Pleasant from out of town this past weekend (specifically looking for «beachy» type furniture for my sunroom. I saw some fabulous chairs from the road and decided to give this shop a try, I would have bought them on the spot.
NEVER AGAIN! Walked in, not a word was spoken, not a greeting mentioned, not an offer for help for the entire time I was browsing. Guess I should have worn my Sunday best to deem myself worthy of assistance in their fine establishment! So I proceeded to tell them about on my way out, jumped in my mercedes, never to step foot in a GDC again! THE ABSOLUTE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE (OR ACTUALLY NON-​EXISTENT). You lost a big sale, ladies — and I use that term lightly!

Went all over town to find a large buffalo check and found only incompetent, unknowledgeable people who had no inkling of what I was looking for. Then I went to GDC and after only a couple of minutes in the fabric section, Sarah Aljabri, fabric consultant, approached me to offer assistance. Not only did she know what I was looking for, she knew some designers that offered the fabric and was able to narrow down my search in minutes. We found exactly what I was looking for. Yes, it was more expensive than what I had originally planned but I will now have top quality linen fabric to recover my beloved chairs than some crap I will have to replace in a couple of years. You get what you pay for. Thank you Sarah for all your help and I will come back to you when I have any other fabric needs…

This place is a rip off and they had people buying up a storm. Asked how much some table top chairs would cost $ 129 per chair! Go to
they got some decent chairs for $ 45.

I also shopped at this store on 3-​19-​2013 and not one sales person asked if I needed help. I went into every department of the store and saw several sales people but not a one took the time to wait on me. I am an interior designer and shopping for a client but will take my business else ware.

I went in to buy fabric. I walked around for AN HOUR WITH NOT ONE PERSON ASKING IF I NEEDED HELP. They were too buy gossiping about dogs, weekend activities and heating up their lunches. I did notice however, that they did ask people for help that might’ve looked more well heeled than me (highlights, plastic surgery, louis vuitton bags). I was in work out clothes — but that shouldn’t matter. I did come back and buy $ 60/​yard fabric b/​c I found one I really liked and I was tight on time so at the end of the day I spent some cash there. But next time I will shop elsewhere because the attitude of the people that work there stinks and they are super snotty.
And I’m not the only one who thinks so – all my other Mt. Pleasant mom friends agree.

Today was a whirlwind of furniture shopping. GDC had a decent selection of couches and mostly natural wood furniture. They were definitely more conservative than the contemporary Celadon.
