| - Steeling Home is a great store for finding funny, eclectic, and genuinely beautiful pieces for your home or as gifts for friends and family. I was so excited to see this new store opening up in my neighbourhood, and was quick to visit when it first opened. One thing I immediately noticed that I wasn't excited about was the total disinterest of all the staff. I was not greeted or asked if I needed any help, the three girls that were working were simply lounging behind the counter, texting, and looking rather bored. I didn't try to engage them during this visit. I simply toured about the store, enjoying the layout of each "niche". There are so many unique items here that you won't find anywhere else! I found plenty of great accessories for my home, and enjoyed a lot of the jewellery as well. I also love that they carry Rifle Paper Co. products.
I recently went back to make a gift purchase for my dad's birthday. Again, nobody greeted me. Nobody asked if I needed help. The girl taking my items for purchase gave me a bit of a "Look" when I asked if she could remove the price stickers for me. After getting a coworker to help her do that (!!!!) she quickly shoved my items into a bag and didn't say goodbye or anything. I really hope Steeling Home hires new staff. Such a unique store deserves staff who are enthusiastic about their products and customers. The service may be bad, and some of the prices are a bit extreme, but overall I do enjoy the shop and will continue to visit.
