I am glad that City Search exists so that the customer has a voice. The two times I have tried to shop in Hunt and Gather I was drawn to the good taste of the floor samples. However once you step in the door the experinece with the staff is snippy and ""put upon"" at best. The first time while browsing in the fabric area I was told to leave the area as they wanted to use that space or something. I just walked out as I was too shocked to say much else. Then I tried again, this time I had to deal with some young person who knew nothing about the furntiure and when I tried to take a picture of a small side table (to see it in my home if the style would go) I was told to stop taking pictures or I would have to leave. I asked why, as I have shopped in New York, Palm Beach, CHicago Dallas and LA in the best and most unique stores and no one has ever told to not take a picture! Then they said they needed to protect their ""design"". I was laughing at that point as really this is just a store with overpriced furniture . I think the owner has an inflated view of her talents and may want to travel outside of Portland sometime to see that in the big world her store is just average. So I left the snooty floor help and vowed to not shop here ever. However if you want to get free design ideas, by all means go there, just buy somewhere else.
Pros: variety of style
Cons: snippy, snooty service
