Ok Silver Lake - Los Angeles, California

This quaint home goods store is a hidden gem, offering a unique blend of items including a diverse selection of books, a few elegant lamps, and a touch of Swedish charm. What truly stood out during my visit was the superb customer service I received. The staff went above and beyond to make my shopping experience enjoyable. It's heartening to discover a place that not only has interesting finds but also treats its customers with such care and attention.

I've been shopping here for years and OK consistently surprises me with utilitarian objects that inspire and spark joy as they say. Was recently on a run around the lake and thought I'd dip in for a look and left with a trash can and a wooden bedside clock with old timer hands which I am obsessed with as it's helping me with my nocturnal screen addiction 🙂 Staff is always exceptional and even if I don't buy anything I leave feeling uplifted. OK, you are more than OK and thanks to my new clock, when I wake up, I'M OK!

I used to love this store, but unfortunately, it's really deteriorated over the last few years.

Their selection is nice, but overpriced. I'm okay with that occasionally, especially if I need something quick. But this means that I often visit OK when I want a nice gift for a friend.

When my husband gifted me a ring from OK for my birthday, I was, of course, VERY excited. He knows how picky I am, though, so before I even opened the present, he assured me that he had double-checked with the salesperson and they had promised him that he would be able to return it if it didn't work out.

Inside was a ring by Monica Castiglioni (the A-Pinot-05). To give a sense of the OK mark-up: on Castiglioni's website it is listed for €260 - equivalent to $283 - and it is sold by OK for $475.

For that much money, I would expect the ring not to turn my finger green. But, unfortunately, after wearing it for less than 2 hours, it did. This is also something that my husband was concerned about and had asked the salesperson at OK about. She promised him that it would not turn my finger green, even though on Monica Castiglioni's website, it does state that her rings can turn your finger green. Salespeople should be more knowledgeable about their products (or look up the answer if they don't know!).

We tried to return it the next day and were told that it could only be for store credit (this was not made clear to my husband when he bought the item). But why would I want to buy anything else from this store? Everything is extremely marked up, they don't know their products very well (and feel confident giving erroneous information about them), and they give misleading information about their return policy.

Save your money and energy dealing with misinformed and unhelpful staff. Buy directly from the designers.

This store has an incredible selection of high-end design (and I mean DESIGN, not branded) home goods, books, toys and jewelry. This is not a 'one-stop-shop', but when I need an incredibly special gift I always start here. The 3rd street store is bigger but both are worth exploring and filled to the gills with delightful things. As Christmas and Hanukkah approach, they usually have popular gift items pre-wrapped in lovely brown paper, and I believe they will also keep a little wish-list if you want to send a special person in to "look" for something for you....

Incredible little gift shop with high quality and beautiful goods. Selling a mix of cooking products, literature, kids toys, pottery/vases, and small art sculptures. Staff is knowledgeable about their products and very helpful. Must stop every time I'm in Silver Lake!

My favorite hidden gem shop and go to for Christmas gifts. Their 3rd street location was closed for the holidays, but I lucked out and stumbled upon their Silverlake location. By far the best place to buy beautiful/quirky/unique gifts.

Best gift shop in Silverlake, and one of the best I’ve ever found. They have unique, beautiful gifts for reasonable prices. Every nook and cranny is filled with thoughtfully chosen items, you can find something special for almost any one here.
