We went into this store on a sunny Saturday in June; no one else in there, just a calm mature couple with Tim Hortons coffees in hand. We were browsing around contently until the owner comes downstairs and without preamble rudely told to step outside to finish our coffees because we have a rule for no beverages in this store". The rule is fair enough

The man came off as very rude and unfriendly. Felt like we were inconveniencing him by shopping there. Lots of great stuff but I'll find it somewhere that actually wants my business.

They did not let us in with our small dog in arms on an extremely hot day. They lost a buying customer.

This store brings beauty and culture to a very simple town. The inventory is spectacular and usually only found in big cities. I'm so glad they chose Wiarton to open up shop.

Really nice tasteful things - art, ornaments, furnishings. The proprietor was a nice bloke and let us in with our water and had a chat with us. It's all very well priced as well. I bought some Royal Worcester bone china, coz I'm classy innit.

I tried to shop at this store, when the owner came running to the front door as I was entering with my baby in a stroller, rudely telling me I was not allowed to enter with a stroller. Strollers were not permitted in the store.Was taken aback by how rude he was, as I did not see any sign. He could have spoken nicely or had some customer service skills to nicely tell me that there was a sign. Will never be going back.

Great store and displays. Far better than one expects for a small town. Class products for the home or gifts. Excellent design and colour help too.

We were told to put away our unopened bottle of water upon entering the store. Owner came across as very pretentious and condescending. When I told him the retail furniture company I work for, he commented that my store was low-end". Perhaps not a good idea to insult your customers..."

I Love their Ruff Sawn coffee table with the Barrymore Furniture they just got in.
