Burlington Coat Factory

Came in during the holiday season, so selection was not too eye friendly. My attempt on this visit was to find a backpack for work. The store has moved its merchandise around, so I wandered around the store at least 15 – 20 minutes trying to find the luggage department because the handbags area by the door had no sign of backpacks. I finally found a sizable selection by the fitting rooms in the middle of the store when I was about to give up and leave. I found the selection overpriced and not meeting my needs, but I tried on a few just to see if they were comfortable. They just didn’t hit the mark as far as looks and price. Decided to pass on the purchase.
Upon me leaving the fitting room trying on backpacks, I saw the luggage area towards the back of the store, Decided to take a look. I did find a separate selection of backpacks, and almost made a purchase, but again, the style and price just didn’t do it for me. In my experience, BCF can be a deal finder, but you have to be willing to sift through the rubbish to find gold. You have to choose when you go as well. It is with these factors that I must give it three stars – could be better, could be worse.

I hadn’t been here in years probably, but its the only store closest to me with baby items (they have a baby depot in store… Huge baby selection).
I needed a baby co sleeper quick, so hubby stopped in and found one with no problems. Staff is pretty helpful.
Our baby didnt last 5 mins in it, so i boxed it right up for a return. Just like a man, he lost the receipt. I didn’t know the return policy: you have to have the receipt or the CC used to purchase the item to return/​exchange. I had neither, as he paid with cash. Who doesn’t just give you store credit anyway?
I pleaded with the cashier, who kindly asked the manager if she could return for me… She obliged. I ended up buying $ 100 worth if stuff that day so it’s a good thing they did =)
In a pinch, I’ll be back for baby stuff. They also had tons of cute men’s, women’s, and kids clothes, shoes, toys… Huge store!

I don’t need the store to be in perfect condition. In reality we all know that doesn’t happen anymore. This is the ONLY store that carries 7X which is what my giant 6’8″ husband wears. I’d love it if they had a better selection of clothes and shoes for him. Size 15 shoes are nearly impossible to find.
If anyone knows a better place to shop for big/​tall men in Houston or Vegas please let me know.

This is a brand new store on the East side so I expected it be all clean and sparkly. However it was already grubby and messy which was surprising and disappointing. The merchandise appears to be similar to all the other BCF stores around, there were some great clothing bargains but the coats were badly organized and the selection was poor. Perhaps they should change the name to Burlington not many coats factory.
