REVIEW SNAPSHOT: Most customers are happy with the quality of the equipment they purchase from this REI store. They credit the crew for being helpful and steering them towards the right product. In particular, their staff members are knowledgeable and approachable. A majority of the reviewers appreciate the fact that they save money for two reasons: first, the company is having a sale, and second, they enrolled in a membership program. Those who have problems, such as receiving defective merchandise, have their issues resolved quickly. But not all feedback is positive: Some people have reservations about the hefty price tag. It is worth noting; however, that many reviewers say the cost usually matches the quality. And for customers comparing the REI experience to the classist experience, they say shopping there is first-class and the gear on display is first-class. Many potential customers may walk out empty-handed or opt for essentials, given the pricing. But the REI shopping experience is still unique. It is easy to recommend for anyone.
