Would definitely recommend this place!"². Another customer praised the store’s selection, saying, "Such a great place! Yes there are hundreds of options of everything but the prices are great and everything is very beautiful and very vibrant! Ended up leaving with two painted pots!"². A third review highlighted the store’s convenient location: "I came here on a whim looking for a pot that matched two other smaller ones I picked up in the area. I found one that I thought was a good match and was treated with excellent service. Unfortunately, that pot broke months later while we were in the process of moving across the country. We immediately returned to this location to find a replica of the one that I had lost, but this one was sold out. I talked to the owner and he was very receptive to my concerns. He offered putting some other pots aside for me if I was considering a different one. I happened to see a larger pot that I had my eyes on before and I knew I had to get it. The owner extended a discount as a courtesy after the incident with the first pot, which was not expected, but so appreciated. I absolutely love my new pot and can’t wait to put it on our front porch in our next home. I also feel I should mention this particular location is full of other interesting pieces. If I was stationed in the area, I would come here all the time to decorate my outdoor spaces. Feeling very blessed for the hospitality today. Thank you!"².
