Matter, a furniture and design store on Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue, is closing up shop at the end of this month. The shop, which has been in Park Slope for six years, has a sister store in Manhattan that will remain open.

Ditto what BHDC said above.
I’ve purchased several things from their Manhattan store via their website. As of later though, I discovered a Seattle based store called Velocity with a wider selection for cheaper prices offering free shipping.
