Rude older owner (long time ago). Very bad experience. Unbelievably unprofessional. I'd never shop here.

What a great store. Beautiful display, nice holiday decor. Carry high end decor from Germany. Must go and see. Very friendly staff. So glad to have this store in New Canaan.

Sure they have some very nice (and overly expensive) stuff. But the place is so stuffy and perhaps the darn SNOBBIEST place I've ever entered in my life!

Such a cute place to get a housewarming gifts/hostess gift or baby gift! Check this place out. It's also a great one stop china shop with lots of sophistication. I ended up not buying their china since they didn't have the set I specifically wanted but this place has amazing range and capabilities when it comes to furnishing your dining room or family dinner table. I wish they ran more sales or deals to compete with larger china shops or dept stores.
