Editorial Review for Hunt & Gather – by Nancy Levenson
In Short
The sign outside lists a few highlights: hand-built furniture, rugs and antiques. It's these bigger-ticket items that lure Pearl District shoppers into the store, but once inside, there are beautiful objects of all sorts. An extensive line of leather furniture includes baby-soft sofas, chairs and ottomans. Hand-carved cabinets are ideal for storing worldly possessions and can double as a stylish entertainment center. Accessories range from original artwork and Oriental rugs to sculptures, sconces and wrought-iron chandeliers.

The first thing you have to know is that this store makes it a common practice to charge above the manufactureres suggested retail price. Once is a fluke - twice a mistake but by the fifth time I am sure it is there standard practice. I was charged $80 more for a picture that I found down the street. Then on a hunch I did a search on a bench and foud that the quote the owner Lisa gave me was $300 more then the MSRP. This lead me to question all of my purchases and the end result was that I overpaid for 2 candles, 4 picture frames, an upolstered chair, a metal bed and 3 lamps ... ranging from 30 - 50% over retail. In our world paying retail is what you want to avoid but nobody pays above retail for anything ... retail is designed to be the highest price point for these items. When confronted Lisa refused to cancel my furniture order or to compensate me for her terrible business practices. To add salt to the wound since I was such a good customer she was giving me a 10% discount on everything I bought. Well, 10% less on something being overcharged by 40% is no special favor. Bottom line is the store is beautiful and has beautiful things but you can find tons of catalogs, internet stores and other local Portland stores who will sell you the same items for the correct price ... often under the MSRP. I advise you to steer clear of this store.
Pros: Great selection and beautiful items
Cons: Market up nigher then MSRP so everything in the store is a rip offffffff!!

Simply another world inside! the options are tremendous and beyond vast: the bedroom in the back has a cloth ceiling!!! Furniture options are high end and of beautiful quality. Trinkets and inexpensive and creative: bought a few candles and art objects for my anniversay and the cost for quality was surprisingly cheap. Staff was very up to date with trends and offered an in home consultation for my color patterns to match: simply can't get better than that. a must to roam the show floor and dream. Will surly go back for couches.
Pros: variety, quality, price points
