Poets Interiors

I visited Poets Interiors yesterday, whilst 40 wks pregnant (and looking every one of those 40 wks!) Husband and I need a few things for the house and as we wandered around we were discussing various potential purchases. While he was mulling over a few things, my legs felt weary so I looked for somewhere to sit. Most chairs in the place have big do not sit! signs on them but I found an unmarked leather stool and perched my bum there for a couple of mins (certainly less than 5). [It may be relevant to note at this point that I was fully clothed from the waist down and that, even pregnant, I weigh 65kg so there was no chance of me marking or breaking said stool!] The second I stood up, a female employee marched towards the stool with a face like thunder. She proceeded to dramatically inspect the stool, leaning over so her face was ~12 from where my bum had just been, then grabbing an ornament and a do not sit sign placing them in the middle of the stool. She then flounced past me back to the counter, refusing to meet my eye even though I was right there watching her, aghast! Completely mortified and embarrassed, I said to my husband we need to leave and as I walked past her, I said (possibly with a note of sarcasm) Im really sorry for sitting in one of your chairs! Again she did not meet my eye or in any way acknowledge my existence. Wow.

Weird and truly wonderful shop. Crammed with quirky, strange and truly beautiful things. Wood, textile, metal, stone. Would happily have bought 60% of the shop! Staff nice, no sales pressure. Separate Harry Potter room crammed with all things magical. Loved this shop.
