A favorite of stylists and interior designers since 1996, Global Table is a cluttered treasure trove of affordable, exotic tabletop and home accessories. Nathalie Smith, a former stylist herself, handpicks her curios from around the world, ensuring that each piece adds a new flavor to the Table’s worldly stew. Teetering through the stamp-size space, you’ll make small discoveries perfect for gift-giving or for sprucing up a dinner party: hand-carved rosewood serving utensils from Thailand, silver-plated bronze finger bowls from India, and ceramic sea urchin–shaped votives from the Philippines. Smith’s particular weakness, though, is for tea sets—retro-inspired ceramic pots perch on one shelf and cast-iron Japanese services fill yet another. — Alexis Brunswick

This Soho shop doesn’t sell flatware, but does have glassware, place mats, and funky melamine serving trays.
We have always found Global Table's quaint store and their products interesting.
However, we had a very unpleasant experience with the "owner" working at the store.
It started when my girlfriend asked to have her purchase gift wrapped.
Unfortunately the gift was wrapped horribly.. ( at best like it was wrapped by a kindergartener, at worst like tuna from the fishmarket ). My girlfriend didn't like it and requested a re-wrap.
The owner replied apathetically that it was their "signature wrap" and was not going budge on re-wrapping.
When my girlfriend offered to re-wrap it herself, the owner became increasingly more confrontational and insisted that my girlfriend leave the store. Hysterical, the owner makes a scene by trying to call the police!
Just ridiculous!
Lady, if you find it difficult handling customers with courtesy and professionalism, why not hire someone who can do the job?
