Happily discovered a nice place in my neighborhood today. After late lunch at EDGY VEGGIE -- another gem of a place, a vegetarian resto -- my lunch date and I visited HEIMA store right beside it. Its happy colors pop out from the outside. I love the way they painted even the outdoor wall (not shown in photo).

At first I thought it was a children's furniture store but even my husband found items he was interested in. A portable vinyl turntable and some well-made furniture. I fell in love with their books collection. It's by no means extensive but each title, maybe totalling 15, I wanted in my bookshelf. Prices don't come cheap, maybe some items you'd snatch cheaper from your travels abroad but quality does have its price. And with a barrage of poorly made items in many stores these days, this store’s a breath of fresh air!

Thank you for featuring us! We are glad you enjoyed your experience :)
ReplyDeleteBuyers beware: we recently bought some furniturebfrom Heima & it got damaged easily. When we had it examined by a veteran carpenter, he said it's poorly done; "minadali"; thin coats of paint only; "manipis ang masilya"; "pininturahan agad kahit di pa tuyo ang masilya".
ReplyDeleteTrue. Heima is a BIG Hoax. Very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteWe asked Heima if they could repair. We'll pay for how much it would cost. But we got mistreated as customers & never called us back to help.
