Grow

Pricey but worth it for the design and graphics.. My husband and I visited the shop this afternoon. At first it was a little intimidating being there really wern't price tags on many items. This usually means high end! After making my way further into the store I realized that wasn't the case. Much of the merchandise was priced about the same as stores I had already been shopping at. THe diference was the designs were unique and not just intended to entertain baby with shiny objects. What attracted me most were the graphics used to create design concepts for a fashion forward nursery. They had fabulous mobiles and wall art! I loved the baby apropriate designs a contemporary mom can appreciate. I'm so tired of the expected disney or pooh bear themes. The girls in the store let us know they were available, but let us shop and take it all in. When we finally had some questions they had a ton of info. They had no problem with walking us thorough the hole registry process. It's easy to get overwelmed. They were really sensitive to our intrest in saving money and honest about all the options and what is really necessary. I felt they were really intrested in helping . They also didn't hesitate to recomend other store or vendors if you had needs they couldn't provide. All there products are none toxic so they are some things you may not find here. We ended up having a really plesant afternoon.…

Great Shop, Great Merchandise. Had walked into Grow a few times before ever making a purchase and always appreciated the relaxed feel of the store despite the high design merchandise. I suppose this could be interpreted as disinterest as mentioned in the other reviews, but I aways found it nice...lots of time to look around and check out the great baby gear without feeling pursued by a salesperson. When I did purchase something, the service was excellent.…

Not helpful staff. As a new, stay-at-home mom, I came all the way from the South Loop to check this place out. The first obstacle was the front door. There is a step! It is a baby store and I would presume a good number of patrons have strollers. I have a Bugaboo which is massive and by the time the lady working there came to help I was already in the door. I had questions about gDiapers and she was not helpful, did not offer to show me how to use them, and pretty much said to go online to find out the answers. She then sat there as I looked around, did not speak to me and so I left. In response to the other comments, it doesn't seem to matter what brand your stroller is, they are rude to us all.…

You don't always get what you pay for. Business 101 Course Needed. While we absolutely loved the merchandise at the store, the service was a complete nightmare. After placing our order (and paying half of the order), we were informed some of the pieces were no longer available. The owner made no concessions for this but since we had really liked the items, we just decided to change slightly. Delivery and set-up was scheduled (which is an extra cost) - but we were then told we'd need to help bring the pieces in, so I'm not sure exactly why we would pay for delivery. Part of paying is that you don't have to do anything. We then decided to just pick up on our own from the store. Before pick up we were asked if we could come to the warehouse instead, which was fine as it was reasonably close - but then were told we could only pick-up when it was convenient for them (not when we had people available to help) - so we said it just needed to be @ the store at a certain time then. We picked up the products and were informed a certain piece had yet to come in - which we had paid for, but since it was the "toddler conversion" and we wouldn't be needing for a while, it wasn't that important. We still have not rec'd this piece. In opening everything we did receive, there was an entire other piece that was not included which they needed to go back to the warehouse to pick-up. The experience from start to finish was an absolute hassle and it's still not over. If the company did not carry lines that were not available in other places, we would have definitely cancelled the order. They are lucky they carry baby furniture, so it is a one time deal for the most part. If that wasn't the case, I don't think many people would be going back!…
