Jonathan Adler

Because I am a student with no income, Jonathan Adler is completely out of my price range, but it is such a fun store to go in and just browse. His designs are so interesting and quirky – I’ve come with friends several times before and we’ve had a lot of fun just looking at everything.

I like the location and the stuff they sell. But the female staff associates did not acknowledge me and gave me a snotty look. I can buy overpriced housewares a lot of places in DC. I will do so in a place that welcomes me. I am only giving it 2 stars because I like the stuff they sell. But I can buy Jonathan Adler stuff a lot of other places, and online as well.

I love Jonathan Adler, and walked by this store while in the area. My Dad wanted to stop in, and I was more than happy to do so. Joe greeted us, and he was fantastic! He was so friendly, and fun. I loved talking to him, and I would definitely recommend asking for him next time you’re in this store.

I had a fantastic experience with the Jonathan Adler store over the last few days (and a gentleman named Ralph who works there). I’d bought two lamps there quite a while ago, and damaged the lampshades in my recent move. Not only were they able to order me replacements, and ship them to me within a few days, but the charge for this was almost nothing, and they were extremely helpful and gracious. Frankly, it was probably the best customer service experience I’ve had this year. Based on that experience, I can easily rationalize shopping there more in the future.

Went to look for the gossip bench and Claude Walnut bar. They weren’t there which is fine but I still saw two pitchers, a canister and bowl I wanted. The three sales people ignored me and my husband completely even when we tried to engage them. But they had plenty of time to make fun of the passing of Lilly Pulitzer (whom I love). I’ll wait to go back to the Soho store to get anything, which is a shame, since this location is so near me. So very disappointed.

Okay, Jonathan Adler is a little ostentaious for my liking and leans more towards South Beach (opinion) than Georgetown. I like cleaner lines, simple prints and patterns while Adler seems to have brighter pops of color and louder design statements that are outside of my comfort (and price) range. I am a fan, however, of his ceramics which is why I ventured to his store shortly after his grand opening.
But who am I to deny others whose tastes differ from my own?
Although Jonathan’s style contradicts some of my personal tastes, his store is still a relevant addition to the Georgetown landscape. Caddy’s Alley is the design district of the city and Adler adds some balance to monochromatic color palettes of Washington D.C. He’s a well-​known artist that gives Georgetown a little more «street cred» amongst the savvy designers that flock this spot.
As I mentioned before, the price point is high but is located in a neighborhood with occupants that won’t cluck at a $ 200 throw pillow. Also, with a strong gay community in the city, I think it’s prudent that the GLBT community and allies show some love to their fellow «family» member.
Mr. Adler has chosen a great location and I wish him the best of luck with his current venture.

So disappointed with the lack of hospitality by the sales staff. My sister and I were in the store for 10 minutes without any acknowledgement from the three sales associate. A white couple came in shortly after us and was literally gushed over by the black male staffer. I never play the race card but my feelings were so hurt! I just moved to Georgetown from Manhattan last week. I make 80k a year and shop at similar establishments frequently. I’m simply appalled and will never ever spend a dollar at this store. I will be sure to mention my experience to my friends and clients. Lesion– treat everyone with respect no matter what color they are!
