Artful Lodger — Local services in Charlottesville

Under pain of death I would not come here again. For literal years this lot has been free parking for the pedestrian mall. Do I understand the fact that that parking lot is prime real estate and charging parking fees would be fair? Of course I do, I’m not dumb. But only an absolutely unscrupulous heathen would intentionally not put up any more extra signage AT ALL telling people that something has changed and instead just boot people’s cars. Now given all of this, I wouldn’t even be complaining if it were a small fee, maybe $20-$50. THIS FEE WAS $100. That’s more than half of the price you would pay if you had your car TOWED.

I also understand that Artful Lodger may not be the entity behind this disgrace, but whoever is running this, you are disgusting. Charlottesville is a city full of college students and young adults whom a $100 fee would impact severely, and your intentional lack of signage and vigorous booting of cars is an obvious attempt to prey on those people. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Artful Lodger, please have the integrity to do...

If you are the type of person who hates wandering aimlessly at a colossal furniture warehouse trying to get a good bargain, then this is exactly the place for you. This place is cute, classy and inviting. Yes, the pieces are expensive but a lot of them are made in the States or Canada and are of good quality. But what really shines is the service - I've had a a couple of hardware malfunctions and Chip has been always kind enough to order parts and get his crew...

I adore this store. It just feels good to roam about and discover things.....and they do let you roam....freely, independently with just the right balance of interaction. Sometimes I go in for a specific need. Sometimes I stop by for fun or inspiration or a gift or stocking stuffers. There is something for everyone. The quality is excellent and their sales are very generous. Oh, and their delivery staff...
