Youd often wonder if book stores would do well in the digital age and guess what? This one does. Fabulous collection of books and great selection of quality stationery that does not feel like youre being ripped off. And the assistants knew exactly where Id find what I was looking for.

Sometimes you find good deals, generally quite pricey compared to other shops that sells toys. On another hand I like the range of stationery items sold in the store. Lastly I like that they have a seating area for kids.

Big assortment of books, toys, stationery. Some items may be pricy, but the offers could be an awesome bargain! My personal opinion, the best prices for the Lego sets.

Earlier I have given it 5 stars, but today I am giving it one star due to workmanship shown by an attendent in Borders. I bought 3 gift and gift wrapping papers as well. 2 gifts out of 3 was nicely wrapped. But 3rd was wrapped very badly by some other attendent. She wrapped it like she was wrapping a Falafel. It was close to 10 clock and when I came home and saw it I couldnt go back as the shop was closed. And I had to give these gift next morning to someone in my office. Borders left me wit no other option but to say sorry to one I was gifting for poor wrapping.

I bought one remote operated toy car from here. There was nobody to guide in the toys section. For demo I have to pay, then only they will show us the demo. I bought batteries also for demo then I told them gift pack it with the batteries. They packed and gave me one another car that doesnt have batteries. Next day I gifted this to my cousins son and without those batteries car was not operating. Then after a lot of talkings with this branch through phone, they send the batteries to mirdif city center from there I collected. Waste of time for me and they lacks proffssionlism and zero customer management. I will not visit any more.

I started with trying to find water colours for professional artists.... No not available. Then I looked for professional pen for sketching. Not there. Paper for making such sketches. They have something which does not mention the paper type and GSM. And they are moulded in polythene wrap. So you dont know about the paper quality.This shop is definitely not meant for artists. Its just for domestic, home users and gullible buyers.Useless shop for me.

Service was good. I was trying to find a book about human anatomy, not to advanced, not to childish, and the ones on the shelf were not really good ones.Suddenly one of the attendants brougth two nice ones. They did the search for me.It can have more variety and amount of books instead of too many little thingsBut it was a nice experience, especially when paying, such book was with a discount of 50%. Fair enough

Thanks to Isa (I think that was the supervisors name) and her colleague (Sheryl?).. Not good at remembering names, sorry, but thank you once again for the positive experience.

Borders has a really good variety if books at reasonable prices, but its so hard to find what youre looking for and staff are elusive at best and unhelpful at worst. They often point you to an aisle without accompanying you and if youre in a hurry, rather dont go.

I also bought an expensive Moleskine business diary for almost $50. It came in a sealed pack so I was not able to look inside it. When I took it home, opened it and prepared it to use. When I opened the schedule to plan my week, I noticed the business week is Monday to Friday which is useless as I live and work in the UAE. When I tried to return it the store manager would not accept it because I had written my name in the front cover. Even though I wrote my name, I was very unhappy because there was absolutely nothing on the cover of the diary indicating the fact that it was a Monday to Friday working week. The store manager refused to accept any responsibility, telling me I should have checked with the assistant before I bought it... Can you believe it!!!

Good selection of stationery the books are good as well but the place was very unorganized and I was looking for a specific book and the staff was not helpful at all. I prefer ordering books myself online, they need help with managing their staff.Overall the place is huge and great for kids to teens as they have many books on their ages.
