1559 Forest Ave, Pasadena“Maya and her team are among the kindest, best people I worked with for my wedding. I brought them a MillaNova dress from Viero Bridal in Pasadena that needed quite a bit of work to fit my vision - top alterations, taking in the waist, hem and bustle, etc. and I wanted custom sleeves. Through my many fittings, Maya and her team were always professional and kind, and above all were creative and solution oriented. Any issue I had or problem we ran into, Maya was equipped to solve it. The alterations were quite expensive, but I wouldn't trust anyone else to do what Maya did to my dress. Thank you, Maya and team, for bringing my vision to life! I felt like an absolute dream on my wedding day, thanks to you.”
“We went to La-Z-Boy in Duarte to search for a new reclining sofa. Alex greeted us immediately, listened to our needs, and steered us right away to the perfect model. And lucky for us, the in stock fabric worked perfectly, so we will have our new sofa delivered next week. Alex was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, as is everyone in the store there. We highly recommend La-Z-Boy Duarte.”

Oh and great personal service, Arax is very sweet and easy to work with and she is a packaging wizard. Your gift will stand out from the others from the packaging alone :)”
“Qbedding LA Store in Monterey Park is great. I purchased the Tencel Fitted Sheet Set and other items. This LA location store is especially selling Tencel Lyocell Fabric, a versatile and sustainable fabric that offers a great alternative to traditional materials like cotton and rayon. They are all imported from China and carry many bedding sheets, pillows curtains, and plenty of selections, pattens and colors. The staff are very amiable and nice. I highly recommend Qbedding LA to everyone.”

1290 S Duncan Ave, Los Angeles“This place is a must for people remodeling their home on a tight budget. They have a large selection of handmade mexican tile and decor. I found the perfect tile for my kitchen at a bargain price. The salespeople are the owners Miguel Angel and his wife Sonia. Which by the way are bilingual. Hablan tu idioma. They provide excellent customer service and listen to your needs. They truly stand by their word of giving you the highest quality of tile and decor at the lowest price.”
“We went to Leanna Lin’s last month and felt the need to share a positive review! The shop is small but filled with so many cute goodies and collectibles from AAPI artists. I loved the cards and books in many languages, and especially appreciated the ones in Tagalog. The sales associate at the counter was also friendly and warm. The biggest perk of this shop (and a major reason we’ll choose to go to her business over others) is the affordability of collectibles. Smiskis/Sonny Angels are marked up like crazy in so many places in LA and she sells them at a reasonable price, thus allowing for increased accessibility despite its extreme popularity. It makes the drive up here from the west side worth it. Highly recommend going here for the large selection of collectibles!”

“When I shop for gifts outside of my neighborhood (East Hollywood), Retreat is my go-to. Diane, the owner, has curated a wonderful collection of jewelry, art prints, cards and fun gifts for virtually any occasion. Despite this shop's relatively small size, it is packed with goodies. My go-to is always the card section, where I invariably find a card for an upcoming birthday or, even better, the perfect card for a friend who could use a pick-me-up or a good laugh. My stationary drawer is packed with Retreat cards that I've got on the ready and I am very grateful. There is a great range of options in terms of price. You can find very fun patches and charms for around ten dollars. If you are looking a bit higher-end, there is a lovely collection of jewelry: but you are definitely paying for quality work that will be appreciated. Diane and the various employees are invariably friendly and eager to help you find something perfect for your friend or family.”
“Scandinavian Designs was a breath of fresh air. Such interesting furniture so much more akin to our taste after looking at so many big box stores online and in person and even mom and pop places locally , we found many items we would have enjoyed and bought 2 beautiful pieces to fit our immediate need for a change. Steve S went above and beyond to help us. Our top recommendation for anyone looking for a great selection of furniture and service. Check it out!!”

505 S Myrtle Ave, Monrovia“If you’re a fan of home goods and are looking for the cutest home decor, you’ve come to the right place. Matt (one of the owners) is extremely kind and to say he offers fair pricing is an understatement. I would recommend this place to just about anyone, but that would mean I’d have less to choose from when I return. ?”
“I had wooden floor molding that connect the wooden floor to tile floor that was broken and needed replacement piece. I couldn't find the same strip molding in Home Depot and stumbled upon Google with LL Flooring. I walked in with a broken piece of wood and Tony and Andrew helped me to find the closest replacement piece and were really helpful. They spent time looking into the best match in the storage room with me and explained the different types of wood and offered to give the best discount ever. They are professional and friendly and honest with the pricing. I recommend anyone who needs any wooden floor pieces and sizes, go to LL Flooring. Especially if you plan to have your place install wooden
flooring.”
