Digs

Cute, hipster-​y home furnishings store in Ballard. They have kind of a mid-​century, quirky, high-​end aesthetic going on. They have some furniture in store, combined with lots of non-​essential items – pretty candles, printed mugs, fun kitchenware. Digs also happens to carry my favorite solid perfume from the Soap & Paper Factory so I try to stop in whenever I’m about to run out. It’s always fun to swing by and check out their displays. Customer service is pretty great here too.

This place is amazing. They have so many items that you just don’t find anywhere else. Great taste in style. I could spend hours in their store just looking at everything. Customer service is great, too. Super friendly and helpful.

I recently moved into a new home and needed to buy furniture. Found Digs online and walked in the store — they’ve picked a great set of furniture to stock. Ben was super helpful in helping me pick out the right pieces and getting them shipped right away. When I made a change after my order was placed, he accommodated the request and made the change with no problems.
Great furniture, great people, would highly recommend!

This is a long overdue Review
I live in Hawaii and it is really difficult to get cool modern pieces on island. So when I was looking for a lampshade to go with a lamp base I purchased from a Set of Mad Men when they Filmed in Hawaii, naturally I looked on the internet. I came across Digs and a Thomas Paul print they offered as a custom order. I ordered it and everything went well and as promised until it showed up. The scale of the print was blown up so big on the shade that you couldn’t see half of what was in the original example on line.
After a few emails sent back and forth the sales associate Ben notified that the manufacturer was no longer offering the print and could only refund me my money. On top of it they let me keep the shade as a token of their apology. How is that for service.
Every business has problems to deal with, It is how you deal with them that makes of breaks them.
Digs is first class all the way. I would most definitely order from them again

There were so many fun things in this shop. It’s the perfect place to find creative & fun gifts, or useful & stylish things for your own home. They’ve got everything from furniture to bamboo cutlery to pet items. I really liked the recycled or biodegradable items, too (like a lunchbox made from plastic water bottles, to a whole line of biodegradable dishes). Great place!

Really Great Local Business — Friendly Laid Back Customer Service — Great Prices & Selection — Everything From Small Gifts To Custom Furniture

Loved this place in Bellingham and I still love it in Seattle :) awesome, friendly, and a great vibe. Sad it’s not in town anymore but it’s worth the visit.

I was looking for a place to check out a Fatboy bean bag and this was the closest location to me in downtown Seattle that I could find. Well, I went in to try one out and really like the style of a lot of things in the shop. I managed to get out of there without spending too much by only buying the Fatboy, but I’ll definitely be back.
After ordering the Fatboy, there was some trouble with the factory shipping it out. However Ben at Digs stayed in touch over email and was very nice and helpful at encouraging Fatboy to ship more quickly (I’m not sure he was as nice with them though!).

Interesting Swedish influence goodies, including stainless steel straws, reuseable Food Kozy Snack Bags, and a shopping bag for Sis. I love gadgets.

Amazing, easy to shop store that has more product than it looks like from outside. There’s a lot of stuff here, without it feeling crowded or like you don’t have room to freely browse. I could probably buy everything I need for a home from this one place– it fits perfectly with my mid-​century, minimalist leaning aesthetics. Sadly, I was only in the market for a couch. Many of their floor models were marked 20% off, but the one I coveted the most was not. I was ready to but it anyway, but the woman working offered to call the owner and see if he would extend to discount to the one I was going to buy. He said if I could wait three weeks to pick it up, they could discount it for me. It would have taken longer to get one shipped, anyway! That great customer service totally solidified my love for this store. They were very friendly and helpful when I came to pick up the couch several weeks later, as well. Also– they have a ton of stuff on their website that isn’t available in the store, so check that out too.

Digs is a fantastic new-​to-​Ballard store, but apparently they had a major presence in Bellingham before they moved here. If you’ve been missing the cute funky modern vibe of Velocity Art & Design since it closed, well, miss no more. I got to chatting with one of the owners, and he was saying that they actually had held off on opening a Seattle location because they didn’t want to compete with another awesome small business (Velocity) even though they’re in way different neighborhoods. How cool and respectful is that?
Not only am I obsessed with a lot of their cool products (check out the amazing delicate stoneware flowers!) but I can also 100% vouch for their customer service. They special-​ordered an item for me, let me return it if I needed to even though it would’ve been hard to resell, and generally were totally helpful and kind every step of the way. Some of their stuff is pricey, but it’s all high quality merchandise with an incredible design bent, and I look forward to spending way too much money there once we’ve caught up on our finances after the holidays, haha. Presents for MEEEE!

I was ready to drop some serious dime on a light from Room & Board but the special order was taking too long. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to look at Digs first, but I’m glad I decided to scout out other places to order the lamp from. The guys at Digs were tremendously helpful and extremely patient, putting up with my consistent harassment on shipping time frames and persistent questions about the product. Always wonderful to support a local small business, especially ones that offer such great customer service.

As soon as this placed opened, I had to check it out. And wow, did Ballard/​Seattle need a store like this! Ever since Velocity in SLU closed up shop, our fair city’s been a bit bereft of fun, modern furniture/​gift destinations, and Digs definitely delivers! There’s beautiful American-​made furniture as well as stuff from popular designers like Jonathan Adler, Marimekko, Dwell etc. Plenty of fun smaller items, cards, and some adorable baby clothes/​accessories for the design-​minded. The space itself is awesome, too — huge and open with beautiful wood floors, a nice layout and fun music playing. If I could, I’d drop much of my paycheck here. But a little at a time will have to suffice. ;)
