A wall of fabric and a big fabric sample case, so that's handy. A back corner with some of their outdoor items.


That’s what I was imaging, they have this style of store in other markets. Or maybe it’s the direction they’re going for all new locations. Not as much fun, sitting in furniture and seeing dimensions in person is helpful. Throw pillows I could order online and return, don’t need a store for impulse buys.

it is really small and it isn't very fun. It has little of thei9r inventory so I am annoyed that when you want to look at something they show you the website.

I really hate the S&L policy. I've been twice and it's annoying to have to schedule several days in advance to go to a store. They had an "open house" on Saturday, like it was a big deal to open the doors to customers. I really hope Room and Board doesn't do that - in fact I was planning to go tomorrow because I have to be in Bethesda for something else.

I peeked in the windows last week and it looked fairly small. It's next door to Anthropology.


The DC room and board is walk in

The flyer they sent encouraged dropping by (I think they’ll enter you into a raffle) so I really doubt they have that policy, at least for now.

What? Why?


crowd control? I don’t think it is covid related because all serena and lily stores are set up this way. but the room and board on U St lets people walk in.

How big will it be? There was one that opened up in an area we visit a couple years ago, I was really disappointed by the selection. Seemed like it was a pillow and accessories store with a small furniture showroom.

It replaced the Indian restaurant. I don't think it was huge.

In that block of Woodmont between Bethesda Ave. and Elm Ave., which I think is all closed off as a streetery now? I am also curious about how big it is.

Just got flyer for it. Trying to envision where it’s located. Is it an abbreviated size from the DC location?
