I've been exchanging emails over the last couple of weeks with someone over at CSN Stores, asking me to check out their websites and report back to you guys about the experience.  I've gladly accepted, because they're a Boston-based company and I figure if Bostonians are going to shop online, we may as well keep it in the family.

I first heard about CSN about a year ago when they teamed up with Walmart.com to expand their online assortment.  CSN is an online retailer comprised of over 200 stores, selling everything from kitchen tables to karaoke machines.  Here's some more info I pulled off their website.

Based in Boston, CSN Stores LLC began in 2002 and has grown rapidly into a Top 3 online U.S. retailer of home and office goods with 400+ employees. At this moment, CSN Stores, a $200 million company, is comprised of more than 200 different shopping sites under the overall csnstores.com umbrella. Most sites are named for their primary product offerings or the styles they provide. These include: Luggage.com, AllModern.com, WritingDesksAndMore.com, Cookware.com, and BedroomFurniture.com. 

I've been perusing their sites for the last couple of days now.  I'm going to order something and then write about the online shopping experience.  I've narrowed my choices down to either a nice blender (I drink a lot of smoothies these days) or a Shun knife.

PS.  If you've got a better suggestion as to what you think I should buy, email me.  

PPS.  Stay tuned for a CSN gift certificate giveaway in the next week or two.
