| - Everyone has a vice and I am quick to admit that mine is Williams-Sonoma. It started off innocent enough. I would browse every now and again and marvel at the array of products. Back then, I would never really buy anything, but I would promise myself that I could have whatever I wanted once I renovated my kitchen. It took me a long time to achieve that goal, but eventually I did. Then the flirtation blossomed into my first purchase. My torrid affair with Williams-Sonoma has been raging for a couple of years now.
In Phoenix, the Biltmore Fashion Park store is my favorite Williams-Sonoma location. The one at the Fashion Square is okay, but it feels cramped. I travel for business and I seek out Williams-Sonoma stores on the road. The one in Oak Brook (suburban Chicago) is nice. The store in Walnut Creek, CA is also nice. The new flagship in Union Square in San Francisco is like Williams-Sonoma Mecca! It's four floors of everything Williams-Sonoma carries as well as artifacts from Chuck Williams' own kitchen. It's like a Williams-Sonoma museum combined with the entire product line. As a side note, the original Williams-Sonoma store that was on the square in Sonoma has been closed. The Union Square store replaced it.
Williams-Sonoma is the best! The products are all of the finest quality and they stand by everything they sell. If you ever have a problem, they will take the item back with no questions asked and give you store credit if you don't have your receipt.
I've bought everything at Williams-Sonoma from my Le Creuset Doufeu to Fleur de Sel French sea salt. If you love to cook, this is the place for you. If you bake or cook a lot, be sure to check out their All-Clad Stainless Steel Measuring Cups & Spoons. The measuring cups are adorable because they're miniature versions of the All-Clad saucepan. For standard measures, they offer sets of both four cups and spoons: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup; 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp and 1 Tbs. The really handy items are the odd-size sets. They offer sets of both cups and spoons in the following odd sizes: 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup and 1 1/2 cups; 2 tsp, 1 1/2 Tbs and 2 Tbs. All the spoons stack together into a cute space-saving group. All four sets of measures make an awesome gift!
Don't overlook their website. Sometimes they will have Special Offers for products online that can be upwards of 50% off of the same items in the stores. This drives the BF a bit crazy because he thinks their pricing should be consistent across all retail channels, but I'm willing to check their website frequently as I have found a number of bargains online.
