Editorial Review for SEE – by Melissa Kirsch
The Scene
Shhh. Tiptoe into the multilevel SEE (Spatial Environmental Elements Ltd.), a starkly modern furniture showroom that seems ensconced in a permanent hush. Not quite welcoming to browsers, SEE is all business: efficient designers glide up aluminum staircases and across concrete slab floors to escort serious modernists to the metallic-finish dining set of their impeccably arranged dreams.
The Goods
You've seen the knockoffs at IKEA, now experience the real thing. Philippe Starck table lamps, straight-backed sectional sofas upholstered in black, white and the occasional violent burst of Nancy Reagan red, lots of wrought iron and other miracles of modern metallurgy make the SEE shopping experience a vaguely cold but dazzlingly hip one. You may not find that snuggly sofa or deep pile carpet, but this much style and substance might make sacrificing creature comforts almost worth it.

This store is great. Went in with a blank plan for my apt and they sat down and helped me plan out the space. everybody seems to know their stuff and made some great recommendations. the selection was good and they were very accomodating. would go back.
Pros: Great Merchandise, Great Service, Very Knowledgable
Cons: Expensive
