“Great collection of rocks, stones, and semi precious stones. Employees are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to find stones well within your budget.”

1065 Ashby Ave, Berkeley“My wife and I bought a Kurt Østervig Lounge Chair and a G Plan Teak Credenza; they are both fantastic!! The upholstery and fabric exceeded our expectations and the refinishing was perfect. From our initial conversations through delivery, the attention to detail was amazing!
Thanks Desiree and Julian, we look forward to working with again you in the future.”

1803 Fourth St, Berkeley“My partner and I have loved Marisa Mason since they opened. Amazing place for gifts (and some things for myself too). I haven’t gotten to try their permanent jewelry offering yet, but I’m so excited to!
Their pierces are impeccably made, and the one time I snapped a necklace they fixed it for me!”
“Uchi is a wonderful place run by a local owner. I found a beautiful teak shelf of high quality. Tom was very kind and helpful and offered us outstanding customer service.”

2108 Vine St, Berkeley“I live in Denver, and have been looking for a replica of my friend's fruit bowl for years (thank you, Google image Search!). I called the store, and Anna helped me to find what I was looking for, and set the bowls aside. The owner, Max, sent the bowls out a few days later, and they arrived in perfect condition a few days after that. I wish I could have visited this store in person, but super grateful for Anna and Max's help!! Thank you both so much!”
“I adore this place. Each time I come I spend more time than I planned to because of the great selection. What is nice is you can spend a lot of money on fancy tiles but they also have excellent deals on more modest (but still gorgeous) tiles. Some of the small 1x1 tiles were even on sale for 50 cents each. I'll post pictures of our fireplace when it's all done- we are so excited about the tiles.”

2100 Fifth St, Berkeley“We've been loyal customers for more than 20 years and just can't say enough good things about Tim and his whole crew. Truly good people and beautiful craftsmanship!”
“Great items and great pricing. Wish they had a larger selection of some items for more choices but we were still able to find items we were looking for at a stellar price!”
“We have bought several pieces from Chris and Kobe over the past few years, and we have always been more than happy. The chairs and loveseats are extremely comfortable, as well as being elegant in appearance and design. Every piece that we bought has been brought up to like-new appearance, using authentic finishing materials. We have, also, brought in pieces that we found elsewhere, and had Chris refinish and repair minor damage, and the results exceeded our expectations. Chris is also very knowledgeable of mid-century modern furniture designers, as well as suppliers of replacement parts (such as chair springs). Despite his extensive knowledge, Chris is very approachable and not the least bit condescending. If we had a complaint, it would only be that we are always tempted to buy more exquisite pieces of furniture, when ever we visit the warehouse.”

1330 Tenth St, Berkeley“Bought two small tansu chests and a metal stand to support them stacked on top of each other. Love their look and their finish. Drawers open and close easily, and there is a locking mechanism on one of them. Also on another visit bought a stool shaped like a goldfish, painted red. Get lots of compliments on it. Good quality items, beautifully displayed in the store and in the windows, and courteous customer service.”
11AM - 6PM
2100 Vine St, Berkeley“A Priori is one of my most favorite stores. It is truly gorgeous with so many unique and perfect items. I go in to purchase one gift and always leave with a few extra beautiful things that were too special to pass by. It's all put together and displayed wonderfully, so the vibe is inviting and relaxing, making it a cheery spot that's easy and fun to stroll through. The owner and staff members seem to have a great time curating everything, really "getting" and caring about their community. I would encourage a stop by this extraordinary store anytime you can.”
11AM - 5:30PM
1836 Fourth St, Berkeley“This is quite a unique store, it is an experience. That's for sure. The way I feel when I enter the store is almost difficult to describe. I just feel at peace. The items are carefully selected, each piece thoughtfully designed by the artists. Though a bit on the pricier side, I find that I have not regretted a single item I've purchased from here. Every year, I save up to get a nice (fancy) one of a kind item from the gardener, other times throughout the year, I come in to get soaps and lotions or stay for the good vibes. Its peaceful.I just love love love that this place exists and I get to go!”
“Ellington and French is a neighborhood gem. It is the most delightful little gift shop, and it always smells wonderful the moment you walk through the door. My mother had received an email about their holiday champagne sip and shop sale, so of course we had to go! We were greeted with champagne and chocolate, and it looked like a winter wonderland inside. All of their merchandise is so cute, it was hard not to buy the entire store! We came away with some sweet gift and stocking stuffers for family and hearts full of holiday cheer! If you're ever in the market for a little birthday, holiday, house warming, or "just because" gift; or if you just need a joyful pick me up, stop by Ellington and French!”
“A newly wed’s dream of bargain deluxe luxury illuminates are here. Mix and Match to your hearts desires ????? Making life long memories for generations to come.”
“This is my new favorite shop in the area! Have found wonderful deals and have gotten to class up my home. Love their large baskets and light fixtures. Lucked out and walked in during a week they were clearing out getting ready for their next shipment and everything was an extra 50% off other than bedding and wallpapers. Was able to bring home a beautiful console unit for 1/4th the full retail price! Whenever you know you want something make sure to take it to the front and have them put it aside for you, things go fast here! But keep coming back if you see something that got taken, they get new things and I've gotten second chances for most of what I've seen there before.”

1770 Fourth St, Berkeley“Design within reach is one of my favorite go to stores while I'm shopping in the Berkeley area. Yes, this is an upscale Store, but even as the name of the store implies many things are definitely within reach! As a Hermann miller, faced store, you know right off the bat that anything you purchase is going to be of superior quality, not to mention having a great warranty to go along with it. The staff is always so very welcoming and friendly, and my recent shopping excursion was no exception. If you're not familiar with the work of Herman Miller, I implore you to explore each and every piece. The Eames lounge chair is my favorite! Plus, I love the fact that this chair is also made for taller people such as myself. When you sit in this chair, it's like sitting on a cloud. You'll feel absolutely warm and fuzzy. They also offer a variety of sit and stand desks that with a push of a button, can be adjusted for practically any height. This is absolutely spectacular, especially with so many people working from home these days. You definitely should consider this desk for your home office needs . A big thank you to Lisa and her staff for helping us out recently with our purchase. We greatly appreciate you answering all of our questions, and for bringing your knowledge and expertise to the conversation in order to help us make a decision.”

1730 Fourth St, Berkeley“Since moving to Sacramento this is now my closest cb2. I’m a big fan, but since cb2 never displays their entire collection in stores or keeps stock of furniture in store most of my purchases are online. The Berkeley location is a nice size but the drive from Sacramento is too far for in-store pickup effectively making it more expensive. The return policies on shipped items (that you’ve never seen) is not good. Retuning will cost you even if never opened or just took a peek. They deduct return shipping and don’t refund shipping to you. Hard to understand how non locals can realistically shop there. Considering Sacramento is top relocation destination for Bay Area residents it’s surprising they have no presence here. On the plus side the Vacaville Crate&Barrel Outlet often has a large cb2 selection.”
“Mike is a fantastic teacher! Took the beginner class tonight and I learned a ton of techniques that I wouldn't have learned from youtube videos. He focuses a lot on building a good foundation and good habits so you can have a better practice as you learn and start playing songs. The class flow was fun and I barely felt the 2 hours pass. I would definitely recommend attending a few classes. There's so much to learn and absorb from the simplest techniques.”
“I adore this shop! Great selection of plants at a good price and the owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Great customer service and the shop is super cute.
