If youre looking for a garden fountain this place sells many different styles . I was on the hunt for a bird bath and found the absolute perfect one. I have since watched many birds enjoy taking a refreshing and vigorous bath in it. Its also a very important source of fresh cool drinkwater for the birds and squirrels. Maybe you could make this a hey lets get out a the house day destination. Raleigh State Farmers Public Market .

Update: we have been back several times and have bought something every time. We bring everyone we can here, they have GREAT stuff. Not just outdoor decorations either, which is what drew us in. Theyre always running a good deal too.Lovely place with great outdoor decoration options. My mom said I could close my eyes and point my finger to anything and find a good gift for her.

If you need to decorate with unique everything from all corners of the world go to my favorite place! Market imports is like Pier Imports on Steriods!! Amazing customer service! If you have the eye to decorate and want the hard to find items its 100% worth the time. Going back as I have a huge to get list.

I really enjoy walking around and viewing all the yard decorations the most. Brought my sister in law who was visiting from Pittsburgh. She bought a few things to take back.Wonderful place, very nice staff, and they gave me a military discount, too!I plan on many returns and highly recommend.

Update - the owner called me personally and worked to resolve the issue, sending me the correct refund and a gift card to try again. Thanks to her for working hard to make this right! I will go back, but do hope the manager learned from this and wont treat another customer like this.Original review: I wanted to like this place, and had heard great things. They have beautiful pots.The bad news is they have terrible customer service and I had such a negative experience, I wont be supporting them with my business anymore. Pic attached of a 30 minute long experience trying to resolve all the incorrect charges on my credit card.Not only did the staff incorrectly itemize the pots I was buying even though I hand pointed them out, but I had to request a refund and the correct pots, only to get incorrectly charged again. Then when I showed the cashier the incorrect charge, she disagreed with me and I had to list out the math with pen and paper to show what was incorrectly charged. My credit card now has 3 transactions on it and Im still waiting for a refund. Got the manager involved who was super rude and unapologetic. It took 30 minutes in total and I still have the incorrect charges on my credit card. I asked for some sort of make good, whether refund or partial discount for the trouble and the manager was not trying to make anything right. She simply said did you get the pots you wanted -- which I did, after 30 minutes of trying to resolve the multiple incorrect charges on my credit card. She was dismissive and abrasive with her tone.It is not good business to run your organization this way.Mistakes happen, but the staff needs additional training and support on how to accurately process a transaction and then how to resolve mistakes.In addition, the manager needs an attitude check and to show some understanding and responsibility for mistakes and issues on the business end. It was a very negative experience and it is unfortunate that she ultimately had an opportunity to resolve it, and did not. I no longer can support this business.

A word of caution: You WILL find a lot of great things at Market Imports. We have gotten several pieces of yard art from them and found a coffee table there that was a no-brainer-had-to-have. Be prepared to make buying decisions. People there are outstanding too.

Very cool. This place has an indoor and outdoor area with aged-looking items, pretty sure they are mostly newer but just given a weathered look. Outdoors is there garden decorating items. They do have occasional sales as well. Very unique items.

Bought a fountain. Set it up to spec and it splashed everywhere. Lost water at an incredible rate and is pretty much useless. Asked if I can exchange (not even return) and they refused. Terrible customer service. Now I am refusing to give them any business.

Theres always some new and quirky objects to see. I think they have the best outdoor fountains in the area, certainly the biggest selection. Theyre a little pricey, but not over the top crazy.

I come here when looking for garden accessories. They have really unique items that would be hard to find anywhere else. My wife has to keep tabs on me as I run the risk of trashing our back yard. What I call Whimsical she calls Questionable.

I just want to thank the associate that helped my son today. He was able to bring me the arbor and stick looking plant hangers. You really went the extra mile to get the message to him that I needed the plant hangers. I will forever be grateful that you were able to catch him before he left so he could buy the plant hangers.

Wonderful shop for home and garden decor. They have something for everyone. Very reasonable prices. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I wish this store was closer to home. I could spend a lot more money here if I didnt have to ship everything home to Iowa.

Wonderful place with an amazing selection of plants and trees. We bought 3 trees recently for our yard and Atlantic staff was very helpful and knowledgeable during the process.

One stop store for all clay pots. Even though clay pots are little high priced than plastic, its worth for money. I would recommend to use black clay pots for growing food crops as these pots help plants in maintaining air and temperature.Check pots in clearance section for low price.

Review №71

Nice little shop to find a lot of plant pottery.Many other oddities they sell (interior decor and nick nacks) may have been hard to find pre 2010. With Hobby Lobby and other such stores scattered about the area now, most of their wares are rather homogeneous.Some items seem very overpriced tbh.Others seem under priced?

Its seems like they dont want my money. I came a few times to the store, and they have small pots in the other building, racks full. Apparently, because they havent got the chance to finish unpacking (clearly all out on display) they are not priced yet and not ready for selling. Why have them all out for the public if theyre not ready???
