Editorial Review for Propeller – by Lorraine Sanders
In Short
Mobiles hanging from this natural light-filled showroom's high ceilings make ever-so subtle movements above patrons as they peruse high-design household items like stainless steel magnetic spice rack and canister sets, candy-colored lamps, Chilewich plinyl rugs and sleek aluminum coffee tables by Orange 22. The store's emphasis on emerging and independent North American designers and manufacturers makes it a veritable playground for those who hold form and function in equal esteem.

i dont know what the other reviewer is talking about! Propeller is a super-friendly place, the owner is chatting with someone every time i stop in and he's fun and easy to talk to. i come by a couple times/month because there is always new stuff and they have higher end mixed with inexpensive pieces. there are always interesting and creative objects that i dont see in the other modern furniture stores in town plus items from local small scale designers - which i like supporting.
Pros: lively+colorful, creative, NICE sales people
Cons: parking

I went to this store with an inquiry about a product and was subjected to what could possibly be the rudest service I've ever encountered in a store, not only by the salesperson, but by the owner as well, which is almost unheard of. The proprietors and staff here seem to be under the passe notion that acting disdainful, disinterested, and treating people badly makes them seem "hip". If you want a positive shopping experience (and isn't shopping for your home supposed to be fun?), there are plenty of places in SF where you can buy modern home accessories without encountering major attitude (Friend, Den, Therapy, I could go on). Skip this one unless you're a masochist.
Pros: cool merchandise
Cons: , rude service
