T J Maxx

Awesome designer merchandise compared to other TJ’s around town.
Home Décor section is top notch pick of the litter for recession-​free prices.

I feel obligated to let people know this location does not carry kids or baby clothing. I even checked with an associate. They do have a small section of kids books and toys. It was my first time there and I was specifically looking for clothing for my son. It does have items that seemed more high end and appealing but was the size of the store is a bit small.

This location has not only gotten a façade facelift but appears to have also been upgraded on the inside. They have more shoes than the Kirkwood location now and appear to have the most high-​end, designer clothes in the area. The purses are better than I have found at other locations too. They don’t have much in the way for the kiddos though, so if you are looking for that or other housewares, the Kirkwood location or another is the place to go.

This is my favorite TJMaxx for clothing in Saint Louis, primarily because they have a Runway section. This department offers high end goods at low end prices. Alice Olivia dresses for $ 129, DVF tops for $ 79, Cynthia Steffe dresses for $ 59… you get the picture. The selection isn’t HUGE, but it’s big enough for me to walk out with something in my hand almost everytime.
If you time your trip right, you can hit the jackpot with their clearance section. You have to really take the time to pick through things, but I’ve found some treasures– $ 80 leather Elizabeth and James blazer (you heard right), $ 25 James Perse tops, and $ 20 Joes Jeans are some that come to mind.
Despite all my rave for the store, I’ll admit that it’s not for everyone. It’s for those who have patience and don’t really care about the customer service aspect. No one there is going to ask if you need help finding something and you’ll probably even get a sigh or very unenthusistic response if you do ask for help. It’s just not their style and I’m okay with that.
The housewares section is pretty good, but there are others that are better (I believe the Kirkwood location is the really good one). There is typically an area with some furniture, like chests, small tables, chairs, but the majority is linens, knick knacks, and cooking stuff. I have always felt the prices are fair and the items have held up well for me.
Lastly, I recommend this place around Christmas time. Not only do they have fun holiday décor, but it’s a great place for gifts too. I always find things for those hard to buy (ie co-​worker who you barely know and got in the office gift exchange).

I like TJMAXX. I always find good deals. I am spoiled because the one closer to my house is bigger. Should I give them a five because I like the stores in general or give this one a four because it is small? I went with the four only because the selection is not what I am used to at the one close to my house. The staff was friendly and the store was clean, I feel bad but this location only gets a four from me!

I really loved this tucked away little TJ maxx store — it had a nice selection of clothing for ladies better than some of the others probably because it is smaller and just isn’t even picked over… they seem to have nicer clearance stuff also and guess what I could actually get a chance to look at it as this place just isn’t as populated as some of the others… cute little plaza too…

Yikes this store is kind of a hot mess.
I went in to the TJmaxx in Des Peres out of curiousity and as soon as I walked in I wanted to leave.
I know u might be thinking «well hey, this is a „discount“ retail store, so what more did you expect?» BUT. in all fairness… I am writting this review based on one criteria: quality compared to price. Any time I buy something I keep quality in mind. Is something on clearance for 5 dollars really a «great deal» if it looks as cheap as you bought it for? NO.
The merchandise in this TJmaxx was overpriced, cheap and ugly.
My advice if your’e looking for a good deal is to skip this place all together and head to the clearance racks of stores with better quality clothes. You’ll end up saving about the same amount of money.
