Home Outfitters

** 3.5 stars **
This huge big box store is no different than most other home furnishing place except for one thing… it’s ridiculously disorganized in their pricing to the benefit of shoppers! I came here and bought a few things (like 12 items) for a long term guest at my house. What did I find… tons of heavily discounted high quality items and slashed prices… AND a great surprise at the cashier.
I’m not sure if this is a recent new sales model but this particular store has a lot of clearance items in the corners and aisle ends. Most of the time, they’re cheap and ugly. This particular place has a lot of high end brand names for 75% reduction… name brands like Cuisinart and Wamsutta. I was thrilled to find these little gems. This was all in addition to the other items that were discounted around the store.
The store is well organized in terms of layout and products on shelf. Things are labeled clearly and it’s fairly well stocked for the normal priced items. At this time, they’re heavily promoting their Christmas items so the entire front area is filled with ornaments and every imaginable gimmicky stocking stuffer you can find ($ 20 for an electronic toy that tries to guess what you are within 20 tries…).
Anyhow, when I did end up purchasing my items, all the clearance items I wanted were an extra 30% LOWER than indicated on their sticker! They’re so disorganized about the clearance pricing that most things are somehow cheaper in the system. I ended up going back and just trying random clearance I’d like to have to see if they were affordable! Sure enough, more than 75% of the items I purchased were lower in the system. I managed to outfit an entire guest room for bedding, bath, and accessories for less than $ 100. A steal for me!
Overall, pretty good place for discounted items but for the regular priced items, it’s a bit dull for my style and I wouldn’t pay full price. Service here can be slow at the cashier but I think it’s cause they’re ALWAYS training someone new.
