Pier 1 Imports

I moved recently and in the mail I received a «welcome» stack of coupons for various furniture stores in the Seattle area. Since it’s a new home and we’re shopping for a lot of furniture, the timing was perfect. I’ve kept some of the coupons for various stores in my purse so I could check out stores and see if anything we «need» is available in these stores. At this point it’s all home accessories — pillows, throws, lamps, wall art, etc. Pier 1 is usually perfect for that!
They had a great selection of pillows to look at but nothing that really spoke to me. Lots of sale items as well, but again — I think my taste is a little different.
I do love that the store is color coordinated so you can shop easily in specific sections and find styles or colors without having to look at everything in the store. Prices in general are also super reasonable — especially in the sale section.
They have big items like dressers, bed frames, sofas, and small things like chargers, plates, cutlery, glassware, etc. Definitely worth a poke around!

This store is located near white center and a mall known for having theft, it’s no surprise the employees keep a vigilant lookout. The employees are friendly and attempt to help you while also giving you space to shop.
Don’t go here for the candles and basics you can get at Target/​Ikea — get the nice furniture or glass work/​art that you won’t find at every other store around. For me it’s a treasure hunt and I find great deals and great products.
If you think Pier 1 is too expensive, avoid anything in Bellevue. :)

I hate you pier 1. You are the cousin who thinks WAY too much of themselves at Christmas. You are the cousin that thinks Starbucks is Gourmet, and that going there makes you intellectual.
The one that would actually pay eight dollars for a tea candle holder that ANYONE with a brain would buy at Ikea for four for a dollar.
The one that has broken five leases on five cutesy condos instead of just staying in an apartment or moving back in with your mom.
You’re the cousin with a tramp stamp on your lower back that puts on a black sweater to look smarter on a date.
You cost too much, you think you’re way more class than you are and you have no problem telling people to buy it when it’s faux plastic oak!
Good god! Just get a REAL job and pay off your credit cards instead of expecting somebody to like your fakeness enough to pay way more than anyone could expect for so very little in return– get some dignity!
