I havent been to Big Lots in a long time. I went looking for fall decorations for my dining room. I loved the table cloth and place mats & I got a beautiful center piece with candles for the table it looks great! The store itself looks much cleaner and bigger even with a lot of furniture.

I really enjoyed my experience at the store. The staff was very helpful and very friendly and welcoming. The girl that was working the cash register today was telling everybody Welcome to Big Lots as they walked in the door. Any question I had was answered promptly. The selection of things they had at this location was excellent. I went in there for one thing and walked out with $100 worth of merchandise.

James helped us out with a big purchase, gave us options, helped us load products, etc. I was so thankful to have such a helpful associate after a bad experience! Go see James for any of your wants/needs at Big Lots!

Picked out and bought a living room set here and when we came to pick it up we were informed they sold a piece of it. How do you sell a part of a set someone else had paid for and going to pick up? Huge disappointment!

I will start off by saying it looks much nicer in there since the remodel. Prior to it the store looked dirty and old but now it looks fresh, clean and more modern on the inside. Its laid out nicer and seems more spacious. It markets as a discount store but I find it kind of expensive for being discount. I can get the equivalent at a regular store for the same price or cheaper sometimes so I rarely waste my time going into big lots. We have bought furniture there in the past and it has stood the test of time. I cant race about the furniture enough. I was hesitant at first but its impressed me with the quality. Make sure you have plenty of time to commit to actually buying your items. Ive walked out plenty of times because I wasnt standing in line for one item behind lots of people. Rarely they might open a second register. Oh with the big lots reward card you sometimes get cool offers emailed to you so that would be the other perk. Thats why it got a middle rating because I do like a few things about the store and really dislike a few other things

Has upgraded to like a Target but smaller. Products are not as discounted and prices have gone up significantly but if you prefer shopping without a crowd and know some things youre looking for they may not have then its a good place to shop.

Review №59

The one in Oakridge has really went down hill. They use to have a great variety of toys and household items. But now almost half of the store is FURNITURE. Using a part of the store for furniture is fine. But NOT just about half of it. Before you never knew what kind of different things they had (that other stores around here dont).

The Oak Ridge Big Lots staff are all super nice. I had an online coupon that was all fouled up, and Terry and Markell went above and beyond to figure it out and make it work for me.

This place has lots of unique types of foods not to be found in the usual stores. Plenty of other deals also.

Review №67

Not half bad, but they could use a few w more open registers. I went during the middle of the day around 3pm(when most folks get off work) and there was only a single register open, despite the fact that there were about 8 carts full of items in line, and everyone wanted to tell the cashier about how their grandmother went into surgery, despite the customer having no clue who the cashier was.Tennessee locals are weird like that.Anywhoo, the store was okay.

90% of the floor space is now taken up with discounted junk furniture. You have to walk through that stuff to the back of the store for regular items.
