The stuff in this shop is cool, and I enjoyed shopping at this store in Brooklyn about ten years ago. But for the SF store, I had quite a negative shopping experience... A friend gave me a gift I neither wanted nor needed, and I brought it back to the store for an exchange for store credit or another item. The items I was returning were two small sculptural accessories - objets d'art, if you will. They were still wrapped in the store's bubble wrap, brought back in a bag from the store.
The sales clerk informed me they "only accept returns within the first twenty-four hours. It's printed on the receipt." I explained that it was a gift, that I could obtain a gift receipt from my friend, but I'd rather not, considering they expected me to like the gift. He looked up the purchase in their system, found it, verified it was the same items, then repeated that they couldn't exchange the item. For what it's worth, the item was still on sale at the store - visible on a shelf not two feet from the desk.
Anyway, this was pretty irritating, and my friend is out money for a gift I don't like. I would not recommend using this store for any gift purchase or any purchase you may wish to exchange or return. A 24-hour only return policy seems quite unusual, especially for small household items.
