Pier 1 Imports

I liked this location. Parking was great. The employees were friendly. The store was nice and clean and everything was in order …

Anyone that’s seen my home can attest to my testament in «quality always succumbing to quantity»; this into consideration, until recently I’d likely have been willing to swear by Pier 1.
By no means did I encounter any sort of negative experience let alone a subpar occurrence having transpired… After spending hundreds of dollars at this place, as most folk tend to, …perhaps I underwent an epiphany and simply learned to shop around.
Boy…(scratches head) am I happy that I did. There are definitely a bit more noteworthy competitors out there.
Let’s face facts guys: We’ve all walked past this store and seen the papasan chairs adorning the establishment’s front entry… fit with their cushy pillows and such. Around Christmas, I’m certain we’ve noted the same, as holiday décor at Pier One rivals The Grove, near Beverly Hills.
Compliments to the store’s display marketing team, as the storefront staging alone has seemingly been enough to tug at my interior decorative side.
Once you’ve made it in, the aroma, often pumpkin spice, crisp linen, blood orange or something of the like, ., is absolutely entrancing, as this place has somehow managed to locate every candle scent known to mankind and secure them all beneath ONE ROOF!!!
Add to the above the fact that the store is NEVER crowded and their quality of customer service is always exceptional and you’ve located MY KIND OF STORE!!!
From clocks and mirrors to throw rugs, tapestries and pillows. …THEREON, you discover the wine glass section and have to sit down a moment just to recuperate and take it all in — Lord yes!!!
So, uhm, …why 3 stars as opposed to 5, you ask? Allow me to clarify a bit.
If you’re a celebrity looking to stage your guest house, by all means,…this is without a doubt, your «go to» spot HOWEVER — - if you’re like us mere mortals and are a «baller on a budget», then you might want to finish this review and then make your way on over to Home Goods.
Having been a frequent purchaser to this store, you’d think I’d invested stock in this joint… YET, one day, while out for a casual travel excursion, I got home after purchasing a «set» of decorative red paisley curtains only to open the bag and notice that the set included just ONE curtain.
Call me crazy BUT most people prefer treating their entire window pane and just as outlets possess 2 sockets, one would think that a curtain «set» would come in two’s as well.
Not the case here. I returned the single curtain only to be made aware by staff that this was the way that the «set» comes.
Ladies, I’d love to accompany any of you as you attempt to purchase a bra set… w/​one cup.
This compelled me to evaluate my definition of the term «set». Doesn’t that generally refer to TWO of something?
I was led to think back and reflect upon my papasan chair purchase, whereas I purchased the top portion separately from the base. Mind everyone, this was deemed as being a «set» as well. Then I flashed back to the slew OF THE OTHER ITEMS I’d likely overpaid for simply because I didn’t think to look let alone ask any further,
The result …, is my having opened a Target account and becoming a regular on the scene at my local Home Goods, World Market, Crate & Barrel and Alley.
In short, I’m not going to knock Pier One off of the list… as I see it, their name is pretty well deserved.
By all means, feel free to shop at Pier ONE… if you prefer receiving JUST ONE–

Friendly staff. Beautiful collection of home décor. Kinda pricey but I found a few good bargains.

I love this store! I just wish I had more money to spend here.

Excellent place to shop. Very friendly staff and outstanding customer service. Unique products you wont find anywhere else at a very very very affordable price. Similar to «WORLD MARKET» in many ways. I bought a monkey cup, broke it, walked in a month later, and they replaced it for me with no questions asked. awesome place.

I like coming here once in a while.
Pier 1 is a bit on the pricey side.
Once in a while you’ll find something you like at a good price.
The store isn’t ever really crowded and it’s hard to get the staff’s attention sometimes.
