The Marketplace on Locust

"Ilse certainly knows what she is doing! This place changes constantly with fresh, new items entering literally daily. This is THE place to shop for home interiors, gifts, and so much more! Ilse, Hannah and Michelle are always friendly and helpful and ready to help you put together the perfect items for your home to create a relaxing and gorgeous setting. Come expecting to return often! You’ll love this place!!!"

"Staff are inconsiderate and rude. Maybe even racist? if not racist then definitely stuck inside a bubble where they have a difficult time connecting with people that they are not used to. Items are okay if you’re into the hobby lobby aesthetic but nothing really original or unique here. Would recommend going to four seasons hospice instead where they have very unique items and you’re helping a good cause."

"Can't really speak much for the store except the rude employee and the slightly bizarre owner (who I did not have direct contact with but refused to talk to me over the phone). Vendor purchased a table from my on FB marketplace and asked if I would deliver 2 hrs round trip (100 miles) for $40. Anyone knows that is ridiculous and does not even cover gas and wear and tear on car let alone time and energy. I suggested she use the app Roadie to get it delivered but she didn't want to because she said it was too expensive. I reluctantly agreed to deliver it for $40. When I arrived at the store I offered to help set it up and move it to the place where she wanted it (she was reselling the table for triple the price she purchased for) then she said okay okay go outside and wait for me. When I went outside for her to venmo me she says okay whats the price we agreed on? I replied "339 (299 + 40 delivery "fee" ) she says "I'm going to pay you $330" I said no we agreed on $339 and its totally inappropriate to try to change the price after I've driven an hour to get to you. She then continues "well I'm going to pay you $330" so I say fine then I'm going to take the table back. I'm not going to argue with you." so I proceed to try to get my table back but the staff of the store are getting ready to leave. I explain to the staff member that the vendor doesnt want to pay me the price we agreed on and im not going to argue with her so I'm going to take the table back. The staff member says "no you're not." and closes the door. She knew full well that it would only take 3 mins to get the table out of the store. She claims she MUST leave that very second. So I call the police. By this time the vendor is offering to pay the $339 price we agreed on but I've had it with her. The staff member then calls the owner and I couldn't hear what they were saying but when I asked to speak to the owner the owner refused to talk with me. Finally after going back and forth and with the police on their way, the owner tells the staff to let me get my table. The staff member says I can get the table and I tell her I've refunded the vendor the money she's venmo-ed me. The staff tells the vendor "Make sure he's actually refunded you!" and the staff member's sister who is visiting her says "Just decline the refund so you can keep the table". They are disgusting and so dishonest. To the staff member who questioned my honesty and integrity in refunding the monies: Perhaps you should question your vendors and sister who wanted to lie and defraud me out of money. I was honest with this transaction through and through. There are other reviews on here of customers complaining about dishonesty and lack of transparency with vendors and the staff and I can wholeheartedly agree from first hand experience that the staff and vendors of this store have a very distant relationship with honesty and integrity. The owner seems quite strange as well. I would highly suggest to avoid this place- from the cursory glance I had around the store the inventory and items for sale are pretty lackluster and most of the things you can probably get off of FB marketplace or Restore for a lot less (Clearly that is where they are sourcing their stuff anyway). Hopefully you can avoid a headache dealing with these people by learning from my mistake. Will be leaving reviews on all available platforms to warn as many people as I can!"

"I could spend hours in here! Cute stuff in every nook and cranny. Adorable artificial flower arrangements, gorgeous furniture pieces and more."

"Another 5 star discovery in Hendersonville! The store is spacious but packed with creatively displayed furniture and home decor both older and newer. Lots of outdoor furniture too."
