Nested

Oh My God in all the years of shopping I have never had the worst customer service from this store! Rude to be exact. I wanted to purchase some items for my daughters birthday, the rude person on the phone was really bothered by my asking if they had certain items available in the store .
I’m not sure where they got their customer skills from or her helpful (not) attitude. My advice for you sweetie is to close your doors, because by the looks of your reviews you should be closing soon! I will make sure I spread the word through town !

This is a great local shop for gifts. They also sell some housewares and furnishing I’ve not seen elsewhere. We found our placemats here, and — when they didn’t have enough in stock — were able to order some extra quickly in time for a dinner party we had planned.
I have always found the staff at the store friendly and helpful. What I like is they do not hover around you, they let you explore the shop. They are also somewhat child friendly. There is a small play area in the back of the housewares section with toys and amusements for smaller children.

To reiterate what you’ve heard from the previous posters — this little place is adorable. Its set up very well, and the displays for fabrics, plates, decorations and little housewares are done very well. The whole place is very pleasing to the senses, with pieces that can actually make you «feel» excited about some cute finds.
I almost gave it three stars, however, because of some of the marked up prices that I saw there, and the fact that the staff completely ignored me. Being ignored as a customer can sometimes be a blessing, but I was feeling chatty. Oh well! Maybe next time.

The one star is only because I cannot take away stars!
I’ve had the worst most humiliating experience in this local shop.
I always buy local, I buy at weaver street, eat at local restaurants and support my community in anyway I can. I walked into Nested about 1 year ago while I was out for a stroll. I was wearing running shorts, running shoes and a t-​shirt. My friend who was dressed up came with me. I was looking around, smelling candles, picking up notebooks. As I reach over to pick up a small paperweight the MANAGER (I didn’t know it was her at that time) snatches it from my hands and says, «Please don’t touch that it costs too much!!:» I turned red with fury and walked out. It took a few minutes for me to calm down and I walked back in. I demanded to talk to the manager, the same lady that just insulted me comes out from the back and looks at me with this «what?» face. I told her that what she did was very insulting and humiliating and unfair. She turns around and walks away in the middle of my sentence. The whole time there was a nice couple standing there and saw the whole thing. They walked out with me after the whole incident and could not believe this lady either. Ever since then I have not set foot in that place and recommend that you don’t either. I am not sure what motivated her actions. Perhaps my clothing made me seem like I could not afford to shop there. Whatever her motivation was I do not know and I am only speculating on what could have trigger her actions. Please support me and all of the people who have been treated unfairly by NOT SHOPPING at this place.

Wandered over to Nested today on a quick shopping jaunt in Carrboro. Nice edited collection of hip home wares. Really liked the book selection and office stationary (always a sucker for notebooks, stickers and fun office supplies). I was very temped by a few items and will be making a stop here on my next girly birthday gift hunting trip. Shop keeper was quiet and distracted today, which was a bit of a disappointment.

I have been wanting to visit Nested since I began noticing their ads in the Independent. While I enjoyed the location and surrounding shops the customer service was terrible. One person was working at the store when we entered and not only did we not get a welcome but not even a return of a smile either. And it wasn’t just us, other patrons seemed to receive the same cold welcome. A friend of mine was smelling some perfume from tester bottles that were snatched away and she was told by the employee «those aren’t the testers». My friend promptly replied that she wasn’t spraying any bottles that weren’t marked ‘testers’. My fiancée accidentally tapped a bottle in the store but caught it and returned it with no harm to its exact location. The employee promptly jumped up and searched the location for damage without even asking if everything was OK. Our customer service was unfortunate because there were several items in the store I considered purchasing but refused to after such a sour attitude from the staff.

Nested is my favorite shop in Carrboro, actually it’s one of my favorite shops ever. I love all the Marimekko stuff, jewelry, and little odds and ends, and wish that Mike bought me more presents here! :) Jenny, the owner, is really great at helping you pick out a gift if you don’t know exactly what to get. I’ve bought a good percentage of Christmas gifts here for friends and fam for the past few years, and everyone seemed happy!

This store is so cute, and the owner is lovely! You can always find a gift here, and I think you can still register here for bridal gifts.

Adorable store with urban-​outfitters esque gifts (titanic themed ice cube tray, moleskins and kitschy cards) and great apartment accessories.
For small gifts it’s great, but I advise checking the price of larger items online before buying them here. I found Umbra wall décor at three online sources (including the maker) that was half of the price nested was selling it for even after shipping.

I can’t believe that I haven’t talked about Nested yet. What a great store. I get my journals here and a new datebook every December. I also buy ALL my family holiday gifts and wedding presents here.

I buy ALL my girlfriend’s presents here. She loves this place because of the smartly designed items that Jenny (the Owner) find and displays. It’s also a good place to get one of those Carrboro T-​Shirts.

What in the world is this place? It’s hard to catagorize it as a store of one kind or another, since it sells a little bit of everything. My personal favorite was a 19-​piece plastic «Anatomical Pig.» Beautiful.
The staff is very nice, if a bit distant. The prices are a bit much, but the merchandise is quite high quality. I’d recommend Nested for any time you’re in the mood to buy something but don’t know what to buy. You’ll probably find the right thing here.

This is a cosmopolitan’s dream, a lovely little spot with all sorts of goodies from all over the world, plates, lunch boxes & thermos (from Germany), journals rebound with old tossed out books as their cover. You’ll find body scented creams & bath scrubs, candles a nifty little gadget that’s used to sit your cellphone near your bedside & jewelry. It has so much to offer, and let’s not forget the art posted on the walls and in the back for purchase.

This is a fantastic little boutique where you’re sure to find something for yourself, your home, or the perfect gift!
The item selection ranges from home, body, accessories, jewelry and more. You’ll find quality handmade items and even Marimekko fabrics.
The price range is as wide as the item selection.
A definite stop if you’re looking for something unique!
