Review №1

My husband and I like to go in when we’re in NYC. We’ve been there several times, buying stemless champagne flutes, beautiful Nima Oberoi items, and assorted other things for our home. We’ve found staff to be helpful, especially offering to ship our purchases and help procure items we’ve wanted. I haven’t experienced being watched or followed around, or rudeness. We’ve always had a nice experience with every visit.

Store has a variety of things. But way overpriced. Most of the items can be found cheaper on Amazon. Sorry Blue Tree not feeling it. Dont care who owns it... Should be called Grey Tree.

They follow you around the store like you’re a criminal. It’s rude and uncomfortable. If they are that concerned about shoplifting they should install cameras. The staff is also pretty uppity and arrogant with no reason for being so. They have some fun and different stuff but it’s all grossly overpriced.

Amazing store. Every time that I go to blue tree I feel like Alice in wonderland. The manager and the staff are the nicest people. Every time I go it is a pleasure to spend time and money there. I love the jewelry and the great selections of candles, I got for myself some stylish champagne glasses🥂

I was brought here not knowing who owned the store. My client and I were talking and he wanted to get me a thank you gift. I love unique - artistic - I noticed some earrings that I was tricked into saying I loved (I did) and they were purchased for me. I did not know the price until later ( I dont look at price tags or Im shopping for the wrong stuff). Each time I wear the earrings people compliment me and they better not dare touch them because they are sacred entities. Nonetheless, the store was fun and my earrings are art pieces!

Phoebe Cates is racist, and rude. Followed my friend and me with her glaring eyes acting like we were going to steal something in her store just because were hispanic. Had one of her employees stand behind us and watch us like a hawk. Extremely unwelcoming. I dont recommend this store to anyone.

I went there with my mother and a family friend. Owner Phoebe Cates sat in the back room with a female employee and laughed at us as we looked around. Completely rude. Dont ever go to this store. Ever.

This store has some unique gift items, but I will never go back there—nothing can justify their rudeness and poor customer service. Recently I received, as a present, a pair of wood salad servers purchased at Blue Tree. Before using them, I rinsed them, by hand, in warm water, with a bit of liquid Palmolive detergent, which I applied with a soft sponge. Once they were dry, I noticed that some of the shiny, protective coating had come off. I took them back to Blue Tree and was immediately and repeatedly accused of having put them in the dishwasher, despite my protestations to the contrary. The saleslady finally agreed to give me another pair, saying that she was first going to wash them herself. As she handed them to me, she admonished, “If it happens again, you’re on your own.” I came home and my husband, after noticing that the new pair seemed to be blistering (I hadn’t noticed this in the dim light of the store), washed them again, by hand, in warm water, with a bit of Palmolive, and the varnish came off quite noticeably in patches, just as it had with the first pair (one wonders what would leach into a salad from these servers on contact with vinegar!) The attitude that the customer is always at fault is perhaps common in other countries around the world, but in the United States any self-respecting store stands behind its merchandise. Shame on Blue Tree.
