Williams-Sonoma

Except for one gentleman at the register Staff were plain rude, I was in there looking around for about 15 mins caught the sales girl eye several times she asked every person around me if she could help them all the while ignoring me. They were dressed up I was not. Elitist and plain awful way to treat people. I decide to go to Jonathan Adler to buy a gift instead and wow I was the queen of england. I will never either enter or buy anything from this place. Lots and lots of other places to shop in NYC where staff are trained to treat everyone with respect.

I waited for an inordinately long time, across the counter, bolt in front of one of the sales staff, while she attended to far more important matters (not). She saw fit to acknowledge others who came through the front door, then asked me if i might need some help. What was THAT all about?
The products are first rate, and the staff assistant who did help me was very sweet and efficient, but I’d say some of the staff are deficient.

Lazy, indifferent staff… selling used products. I just purchased a $ 300 coffee maker here. Staff people had no idea of differences in makers and seemed to care very little that they were so unhelpful. But I read several reviews on line about a coffee maker and bought it. Took it home and unpacked it to find it had small dents and spots on it… it was used.
I immediately returned it… spending another $ 10 on a cab. The staff did not apologize, did not offer to look for a new one… just could care less.
Try Sur La Table on 3^rd Ave and 76^th… staff more attentive there… they had what I wanted and were so knowledgeable

Really enjoy this store. And who would have known but chefs get 20% discount.

A little on the small side, but what can you expect for prime real estate on Madison Avenue on the UES. Obviously the prices are high, but they are no different than any other location of Williams-​Sonoma, and, realistically, they are not too high for the quality of the items on sale. In the Madison Avenue location, it can be a little slow because nearly everything you want has to be summoned from the bowels of the building and brought up on a darling dumb waiter. So… if you’re in a huge hurtling hurry, trying to get a complete set of cookware in record time, it’s not going to happen. That said, it is a nice environment and the staff are helpful and polite.

Disappointingly small however the staff is super friendly. I went in looking for something I saw on the website but I realized as I looked around it probably wasn’t going to be there since there was very little of anything. Maybe I’m just spoiled by all of the mall sized stores but I think it’s good in a pinch, definitely do better to buy online. The saving grace is the super friendly staff and the fact that if you like this kind of store, then you’re going to be like a kid in a candy store. Or a cook in a cooking supply store. Or a kitchen gadget lover in a kitchen gadget store. You get my drift. Oh and the beautiful stove in the window that you would love for your house? Over 30,000. Awesomely nice staff gave us the price no problem haha. I’ll stick to my neighborhood supply store though.

I do love me some Williams & Sonoma, but let’s be honest– you can buy this stuff for much less elsewhere. I managed to get a bargain on some novelty items for a holiday brunch I was throwing (2 packs of very cute plaid napkins, a set of 4 Le Creuset wine corks and a cute ornament for $ 15) and the guy who rang me up was very nice (and patient with the crazy lady that was in front of me). I didn’t have too much help on the floor, but honestly I hate when sales people ask me 100 times if I need anything. All in all I was happy with my experience and will venture in again to see if I can find some more bargains!

Staff is very friendly and are very helpful.

It’s Williams-Sonoma…on the pricey side, but they do manage to carry a large variety of items!

Well, let’s start by saying that I LOVE Williams-​Sonoma in San Francisco, and I think it’s a great place where to find kitchen utensils. This store in particular is kinda small compared to the one on the West Coast, the prices range from medium to high, but you’re certainly not gonna go back and complain about their products, for they have a great selection that won’t leave you disappointed.
I was in New York for a brief trip and I was looking for an angel food pan, which is hard to find in Italy. They didn’t have one on display but fortunately, before leaving the store, I was asked whether I needed any help. I explained that I didn’t find what I was looking for, and the lady was so nice to find one in the back, as it was taken off for the Christmas displays.
Everyone was really nice and I was very pleased with my purchase.

A foodies paradise if you like to cook and entertain. I ventured into this location recently to look for a gift and was amazed at how much stuff they have in here. Pots, pans, cookware, table settings, linens, spices, sauces, cookbooks, cooking tools, cutlery, coffee/​espresso makers, glassware, soups, etc — this place is the bomb if you have some serious coin to spend!
They also have cooking demonstrations occasionally where you can sample the finished product. Always a bonus! Location is on the small side but everything is laid out in a way that everything is easy to find. Friendly staff too. Only a block away from the 86^th street subway on UES. I would say pricing is on the fair-​pricey side, but overall quality of products are very good. Great place to pick out a housewarming gift.

I was surprised at how much stuff they managed to fit into this store. It’s not that big and, sadly, the checkout line is right in front of the entrance, leading to an interesting adventure getting into the store. But, in fairness, they have very good line control with a staff member directing customers «Whole Foods line”-style.
