Always the best!

Hey, I've shopped at French Quarter for years and don't understand the last posting. I think FQ is one of the most dependable stores in town and I've never had an issue with service. In fact, I think the sales staff is way above average. I'll admit that prices are high, but it's also very high-end product they sell. So, like clothes and cars, there's a reason for higher prices. When you get a chance, check out the store, because it's beautiful. Overall, I think this is an excellent establishment.

• Pros: staff, selection, quality
• Cons: prices, order time, parking

I can't figure out why this store is still in business. The staff is so rude. Do people like to be treated rude when they buy luxury linens. I don't. They are rude and they don't know what they are talking about. The one time I ordered something, because they have nothing in stock, they lied about when it was going to come. I called the vendor and they said they had it in stock so what did they do with my money? Don't shop there, I don't get it, there is so much better in town.

• Pros: Beautiful linens you can't get your hands on
• Cons: bad parking, rude employees, lied to me

Grizzly BEWARE !

As a purveyor and afficionado of fine linen here in the Southwest, I have to address this situation. Sheets are like shoes, no matter the quality, if they are not properly cared for and rotated - they wear out quickly. Think about it, would you expect a pair of Prada heels to last a lifetime if you wore them every single day and never conditioned them? And just as extreme elements and poor hygiene will trash a shoe quicker than you can say "splenda", the same is true for your sheets. The #1 cause of holes in sheets are unsightly, poorly groomed feet. (this is usually the husband - though I've seen a few exceptions, neither here nor there) Those scratch, nappy heels dig and abrate right through even the finest textile. Also hate to break it to you, but hairy backs / aggressive facial hair, etc. do the exact same thing. So if you want to enjoy the quality of fine linen, take time and excersise proper care please....

PS a front loader washer makes a world of difference, and ease up on the chemicals and heat!
