The Bad

There is a lack of some information on the World Market Website which may be inconvenient for some consumers. -No warranty information on website -No International Shipping We were unable to find specific warranty information on the Cost Plus World Market website. Consumers may have to contact customer service to inquire about warranty information for specific products. Consumers may contact customer service through the Cost Plus World Market website or by phone at 1-877-967-5362. A potential downside to using Cost Plus World Market is their lack of international shipping availability. Currently consumers are able to ship anywhere in the US. Many of their competitors offer shipping to several countries including the US, which may make them a less appealing option for some individuals.

We literally searched high and low in World Market until we found the metal art piece we needed to make the space above our mantle complete. We were also able to find smaller complimentary pieces for above our windows to tie it all together. Though the store can be somewhat chaotic, we enjoy searching through all of the treasures to find just what we need to perfect our look.

I love World Market! It's such a fun store to find unique products that highlight different styles found throughout the world. They have a wide variety of products all priced decently and are higher quality than you'd expect for that price. Fun jewelry and scarves, beautiful textiles and wall decor and a food section where you can find things from different countries - some of the best curry powder I've found was from World Market. I've always found something I love. The employees are helpful and kind - I've always walked out happy after visiting.

My parents bought a table from World Market 13 years ago because they knew my younger brothers were going to destroy any other table. This table continues to stand in their dining room in great condition. This store in great and fun to explore because they have many unique pieces of furniture and other home decor.

I have recently visited their store and honestly the layout of the store is just amazing , I find that each section of store is well defined and carefully divided for the ease of user. Their staff is also great and knowledge , they helped me with selection of furniture according to my need. They really have a big collection , and pricing i find also find in mid to high range but their quality is top notch so its a value offers . If you go there sometimes they also run discount and you might also steal a deal like i did .

World Market's selection of international goods is impressive. It's a great place to find unique items that you won't see elsewhere. The store ambiance is inviting, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and craftsmanship of the products. Overall, World Market is a must-visit for anyone looking to add a touch of global flair to their home.

There is a wide variety of items at World Market Stores. I wasn't planning on buying anything and I walked out with a lot. It is easy to do there between food, clothing, games, and housewares.

Bought an outdoor dining set here and it was smaller than we anticipated but we made it work in another area we needed it for. Price was customizable to the pieces we wanted without getting the whole set we didn't need. Buy online and pick up in store was affordable and preferred for me.

I have loved finding unique and different items from World Market. They have a great selection in rugs and dining tables, and had a lot of options that I had not seen anywhere else. The prices are reasonable and at times they have had items that were on sale at really good deals.

The products and furniture available are unique and frequently offer Bohemian styles. If you find something you like you should probably purchase, because it can be challenging to find more of the item...the challenge of the unique nature of the items sold.

Hands down my favorite place to find fun furniture and things for the house. There is everything from frames to baskets to chairs. Everything enough go back to California (where I’m from) I go there to see if there is anything to bring back. More than once I have something on my roof of my car making the trek two states away.

This is the best place to go when you want furniture that is different and unique. They have so many beautiful and interesting pieces and they are all pretty eco friendly. Lots of bohemian style items. My office is more bohemian style so I got most of the furniture from world market because it was all nice and good for the environment.

It has good quality merchandise. The stores are always very clean, and the workers are great too. It isn't the store I usually shop at, but I don't mind it.

I enjoy going into world market to see the variety of international products they carry. They have good sales. And their wine is reasonable if you buy multiple models. Not a frequent shopper there.
