Silver Lotus - New Orleans (LA)

5 /5 Allison Tibbs: My mom and I stopped in front of this store as we needed to tie a shoe, we looked up and were like “Looks cool, let’s check it out.” Immediately we were blown away by all of the beautiful wood pieces and the smell of wood. We browsed around not really in the market for getting anything but within 2 minutes we were drawn to beautiful pieces that wanted to buy. One of the owners, Brian, started to share more about the pieces and his background and we ended up chatting with him about traveling and art! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and a hoot! We ended up getting 4 wood pieces and the prices were fantastic - they were having a 20% off Summer Sale. We will definitely be back to add to our collection.

1 /5 Yulya Fridman: I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this store. The owner was rude and unprofessional, telling us we were WAISTING HIS TIME when we were simply asking questions about the products. We felt disrespected and unwelcome, and it’s hard to believe someone who runs a business could treat customers this way. It’s a shame because we were genuinely interested in making a purchase, but after such a negative encounter, I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Customer service should be a priority, but this owner clearly has no regard for it.

1 /5 Prochaska Lèrin (Lexxie): This store owner kicked us out for browsing. Dont tell him you are looking or browsing, he will call police on you, then kick you out the door. We had many people outside to witness this, our children couldnt believe his behavior. I told him to be kinder to customers if he wants business, he said its his business not the customers, he is a very bitter person from the way he treated us. I was looking for decor and he told us to get out if we dont plan to buy. How can I buy if I havent seen what you have. The man is a crazy person.

1 /5 Elaine Sinclair: Great store until Mary started ranting at me and another Lady about politics. She brought up the President, she started a tantrum when both myself and the other customer didn’t agree with her and then basically told us off and to get out. I’m so tired of this behavior

1 /5 Ashley Miner: The store has beautiful woodwork pieces, but the store associate was completely rude. A couple of friends and I were looking around, and talking amongst ourselves when he told us that we should probably go to a restaurant and drink and talk, as he walked into the back. We were the only customers in there, so we were not disturbing anyone. Its sad because I wanted to actually purchase something, but I wont support local artists that are rude.
