The Royal Standard

This is the place to go! I would visit here from New York and made sure I purchased items to go back with for my friends and family. Now that I live here, it’s wonderful to see what’s new and old (antiques). I recommend The Royal Standard to anyone for a unique shopping experience.

I have to give credit to the guy who was working– he actually talked to me! Usually I go in there and I’m ignored. (I usually show up after work with no makeup and dirty baggy work clothes, so I guess they think I have no money to spend.)

My first thoughts of this place was that it looked pretty rustic. The gates were nifty and so was the layout of the things they sold. While walking through the store, I realized it was like walking through a maze. Very easy to get confused and would be hard to find anything. They do try to group similar items together, but still is hard for a normal person to find exactly what they are looking for there. I realized they did have sales on a few items, which was pretty cool. Nothing really stood out as a must have there, even though there were some interesting things you could purchase there. It definitely is a hole in the wall place that you maybe wouldn’t even know existed otherwise. I know while I was there, my experience wasn’t the most pleasant. The employees did not even pay me any attention and when they did, it was a vibe that made me feel uncomfortable. At one point, I felt like an employee was following me around as though I was a shoplifter. I wasn’t wearing anything but pants and a shirt, didn’t even have a purse. I know I also asked if they could hold an item for me while I used the restroom, and even then, was treated like that was such a strange thing to do. That experience in itself was very unwelcoming, which will definitely be why I won’t return back. I could have given this a 1 star rating, but I will at least give it 2 for the simple fact that yes, it is an interesting hole in the wall joint that sells an arrangement of things… also because they have free coffee. Other than that, the service was really bad.

«Home furnishings, accessories, kitchen goods, clothing, home accents and just so much more». I have always loved The Royal Standard after all my visits at their Perkins Overpass area store. I was introduced to the much larger store location further down on Perkins (passed Pecue) and I was overwhelmed (in a good way) at how totally amazing this store was! If you have never been to The Royal Standard, you have been seriously missing out! There are so many exquisite goods that I would love to take home with just. Yup, just bring a U-​haul over and I’ll take it all! If you are ever looking to get me a gift… The Royal Standard Gift card is high on my list. I is set-​up like an art gallery with items grouped together in different sections. Go through the entire store first just to familiarize yourself with how things are situated, then shop. Every corner and every turn you make has a beautiful surprise. This store is very engaging to the eye, which makes me want it all! They have wonderful sales pretty much everyday. You will find something that you like to accent your home or accessorize yourself with; I can guarantee it. Shop for wedding, birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, bridal or baby showers and so much more. Words just cannot express the wonderment you will experience of this store!

This place was totally unexpected. Was out looking for furniture and it popped up on a search. They have a really cool selection of «stuff». They have new furniture, old antique furniture, repurposed furniture, lights, dishware, clothes, ice cream, and more. Did not find anything to buy, but I definitely will be back to search again. It is one of those places where you go home and think of reasons you should go back and buy something you saw.

Love the furniture! They carry Bernhardt products! I posted a pic of a headboard I love which is Bernhardt… it’s actually a whole bed but you can’t see in the photo. I checked the price online to see if this place overcharges and I’m guessing they don’t overcharge on furniture. The price on amazon was only $ 1 less than what was advertised in store. I didn’t really look at the prices on anything else but I did see a super cute dress for $ 38…not bad. They have a bunch of seasonal decorating stuff, jewelry, lamps, slippers, casserole carriers (pretty cool, haven’t seen those before), tons of fabrics and cute pillows. I could keep going but I’m sure you get the picture.

I purchased a wooden table from this company a couple of years ago. It has begun to split down the middle. I called the company. They indicated that they had discontinued the table because of this issue but I was out of luck because so much time had passed. Ripped off. If they are going to admit that a particular product was defective and therefore discontinued, then they should do something.

A few weeks ago, my husband and I were out enjoying unseasonably cool weather and we stopped by The Royal Standard! It was his first visit to the store and he loved it! It is the ideal place for gifts for young and old! There really is something for everyone on your list and I promise you will find something for yourself! Prices are great!
The staff is knowledgeable, helpful but not annoying! There are thousands of things to look at and they certainly encourage you to browse!
I have been pleased with everything that I have purchased from them and their 7 day return policy is great!

Outstanding personal service. I had a request that Heather accomodated a few minutes before opening time. She graciously allowed me to purchase what I needed so that I could give it to a friend before she had to leave for the airport. Nice merchandise as well as excellent service. Thank you!

The Royal Standard is one of my favorite places to shop for gifts. If you’ve got a last minute gift need, this place has lots to choose from and a great range of prices. The store is set up as a collection of mini-​boutiques. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

One of my *very* favorite shops in Baton Rouge, The Royal Standard has a gigantic selection of interiors, gifts, and furniture. There are two stores on Perkins Road — one near LSU and one near Highland Road — and both are run as a collective of individual mini-​boutiques, each with their own unique merchandise. What’s great about that, of course, is that there’s something for everyone. They have everything from antique sterling silver spoons to custom furniture. Not surprisingly, there’s a plethora of items with fleur-​de-​lis’ on them, too.
The staff at Royal Standard is unfailingly nice and helpful — there’s not a single ounce of snootiness!
Bottom line: if you’re looking for a place in Baton Rouge where you’re assured to find something awesome, your first stop should be the Royal Standard.
