Easton Evaluation: Z-Gallerie

Very few stores require a minimum level of knowledge prior to purchase. Everyone knows jewelry sparkles or what colors are good for summer or winter or what chocolate they are craving… But when one enters Z-Gallerie, they have to enter with a sophisticated taste and an awareness of how the pillows they buy may accent their couch, but could clash with their carpet or their wallpaper.

As always, Z-Gallierie’s salespeople were among the friendliest I encountered. Unlike other stores, they don’t give you some expected greeting and they don’t wait until you focus on one of their products… They approach you… What are you looking for? Has anything caught your eye? They are perfectly willing to walk you through their store (and sometimes they should, because there is no rationale for the way Z-Gallerie lays out their showroom) and discuss options with your just have a conversation. They are always very knowledgeable about their product and current events and even if you purchase nothing, you don’t exit feeling as if you’ve wasted your time.

Their Christmas collection is excellent. From accent pieces such as coffee table Christmas trees ($19.95) and candles rings ($9.95) to wreaths ($10.95-$59.99) to reindeer ($29.95 and not recommended as they shed)… Their collection features a piece of Christmas cheer for everyone. An item that will compliment every décor and be a component of every family conversation.
