MacKenzie-Childs

Very funky home accessories. Mostly table wares. Very colorful, handmade stuff.
Most of the stuff is something u can use as an add on to ur summer outdoor stuff. Not sure who would be buying the lighting etc.

Brides– Do not register here. They very often do not take things off the online registry, so you get two of an item and then will only issue a store credit. It took me 4 follow up calls for them to tell me that «absolutely not» in regards to making an exception on a $ 525 wedding gift that we now have two of.
Many other stores carry MacKenzie Childs, so my suggestion would be not going through their direct store. Awful customer service and even more awful return policy. What a shame.

Beautiful stuff — friendly staff for the most part but I have been snubbed at this location before.
I’ll put up with it. Bad service is everywhere and if it’s once in a blue moon I’ll give the company a pass. It’s fun to come in here and browse. I try to get one item a month from this place to build up my hope chest.

MacKenzie Childs has a VERY particular aesthetic, but if it is your thing, the store will not disappoint. It is beautifully and meticulously arranged with a very welcoming atmosphere. I came to pick out a wedding gift for a very close friend, and one of the salespeople was very helpful in putting together a set from the Parchment pattern and a few other accompanying items to help me find a really wonderful gift within my budget. She also did a really wonderful job with the gift wrap and I was able to deliver my friend’s gift right to her apartment without any other touch-​ups or add-​ons.
They have a little water and cookie set up– just a nice little touch and the cold water was so appreciated after a hot, humid and sunny walk up to the store.
If you are not familiar with MacKenzie Childs, prepare to be a bit overwhelmed by the many patterns and arrangements in the store. If you are familiar with the product (as I became after spending some time online looking at gift options), you will love seeing the many beautiful items available in the store.
I would recommend MacKenzie Childs for a unique gift for the home for a wedding, birthday or shower.

As to be expected MacKenzie-​Childs has a beautiful showroom/​store in Midtown Manhattan. Only a few blocks from the R/​N/​Q line it was very easy to get to.
I went in with the hopes of exchanging a wedding gift I received for store credit and I was able to do so without any objection. The credit is good up to a year and I’m sure I’ll be able to find something* for my apartment.
The inside of the store is something like a wonderland with its whimsical designs on everything from dinner plates and platters to socks and dog beds! Even if you aren’t planning a purchase you should make it a stop on your tour up 5^th Ave.
*This comment is geared at MC as opposed to this individual store. As I wandered around last night looking at the different items my eye spotted some lovely place mats. Everyone needs place mats right? Ha! These babies were $ 50. EACH! So, for my table of 4 they would cost me $ 200. That is c-​r-​a-​z-​y! Are there people who purchase these? MC– what are you thinking?

I had the pleasure to attend their annual designer showcase reception recently. With free champagne and hors d’oeuvres, my friend and I had a blast hanging out and chatting while the servers brought us yummy nibbles.
The products were adorable! I felt like I was in Wonderland. It was very whimsical and fantasy inspired. The elevator was awesome! They are all quite expensive but given the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into each product I would say they are rather reasonably priced. It would make for great gifts for sure.
