Spartan Shop, Portland OR

4th time trying to purchase something online and the order has been "mysteriously" cancelled. I think the owner will only supply goods to people she has deemed worthy, which seems unethical. I would second guess any purchase from a company that is trying to enforce this type of demonic culture.

One of my most favorite places in Portland. Not only is the showroom always filled with beautiful art, objects, and furniture, the care and relationships that the team builds with their artists enables them to show collections that you can't find anywhere else. Any time I need some inspiration, I come to Spartan Shop.

The owner clearly has fabulous taste in material things but certainly lacks judgment or character. Be sure that before you shop at a store that is named after anything related to a culture known for its 'military tactics' you keep your opinion to yourself because if your opinion differs from that of the owner you may not have the opportunity to adorn your life with overpriced meaningless things. If you happen to be someone she simply just doesn't care for, be careful because she may just cancel you…. I’m sorry I mean cancel your order.

Spartan Shop is a place I go to feel inspired. Not only is the work beautifully curated, each artist is represented in a way that feels like a gallery show. The purchases I've made over the years have been ogled over, carefully selected and thoroughly enjoyed once in our home. If you have a chance to visit in person, I highly recommend it.

I ordered two beautiful sculptures from Spartan shop and had a wonderful experience. Customer service was amazing and my order was received very quickly. Such a beautifully curated store. Melanie

This is a beautifully curated store. I was so excited to visit, and had planned on getting some Eric Bonnin pieces. Unfortunately, I was very turned off by the lady working at the store (whom I believe to be the owner). When I came into the store, no one was present. I began taking a few photos, and was met with condescending remarks from the worker who had popped out from the back of the store. She went on a rant about how people come in and take photos, and how it is in poor taste. She also asked why I was taking photos. She could’ve politely asked me to please not take any photos (like a reasonable person). No one was present when I began, so the possibility of asking beforehand was not immediately possible. There also weren’t any signs specifying not to take photos. I would hate to support a store whose owner is so haughty. Hopefully this post will encourage workers there to be more kind.

A friend's 5 year old tripped over a cord, knocking down a lamp that almost seriously injured her from falling cement components. The manager came out and insisted the family purchase the broken lamp. Mom paid, in shock of watching her kid almost get killed from the falling objects.

Stores should have insurance for this kind of thing.

No staff available during business hours. I was really looking forward to checking this place out while visiting Portland. I'll try again, next time I visit.
