I am a huge fan of these cute little toy stores and Love to spend a little extra on kids gifts and…read morebirthday gifts. That being said, I also expect to receive great customer service and a great product. After purchasing several items I realized I was overcharged, by $20, for a game. After speaking with a manager to correct the charge I was told that the game was just mislabeled and I was charged correctly. Somehow that was my fault and she took it a step further to blame "someone" for removing the real tag that was to cover up the $20 tag. That did not feel good. Small interactions like this destroy reputations and further patronage. Ownership of the mislabeled product would have had me coming back here for years to come and $,$$$ more to spend. Unfortunately, I can find ALL of these toys online where the price is properly labeled and I will not be accused of price changes.

We were very happy with our framing experience at Frameworthy in Minnetonka…read more The associate was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He had an eye for color and design. Our pieces were done in a timely manner and the workmanship was impeccable. I would not say it was "cheap," but their price was lower than the other two shops we visited. They are not open on Sunday, which may be bad for some, but I believe it is because the owners do all the production work themselves which really appeals to me as a consumer.

I do not recommend doing business with this local business. My experience with placing a custom…read moreorder with this business was a terrible experience. The following is a list of the "red flags "I should have observed at time of order placement. 1. On the original visit to the frame store the owner "verbally" quoted me a turnaround time of "2 maybe 3 weeks but most realistically closer to 3 weeks which I now realize no "real "contract commitment to a completion date. 2. The owner allowed me to leave his shop @ order placement only with a downpayment receipt a in hand. 3. The owner never provided me a copy of the contract/ purchase agreement documenting the mat, glass and frame materials to be used on the project along with his estimated TAT Time. 14 days later, upon realizing the purchase agreement gaps noted above I phoned the owner of the shop requesting an updated status report on my order. 1 day later the owner returned my call aggressively communicating to me he taking immediate action to cancel my order with his shop. The reasons cited for cancellation was I was bullying the owner in order to gain order preference. He ended his phone call by hanging up on me. In reviewing reviews posted on Yelp there was one other similar complaint to mine. Customer Service: A recent review warns of poor communication and order follow-through, resulting in an abruptly canceled client relationship.

Once inside it's just like every other Hobby Lobby, all of your crafting needs and prices are easy to find/understand. I feel like this store used to have better clearance and sales but lately there's nothing great going on in that department. Check out is where it gets a little rough for me. There are never enough workers. We are always waiting in line for 15 minutes and it really slows down the entire trip. I tend to go on my lunch breaks but I have had to stop because I'm not convinced I'll be out in time. If you need something you'll probably find it here, but make sure you have enough time to not only find it but to check out.

Our beautiful artwork just needed a beautiful frame! I searched online and read reviews for local frame shops. Your Art's Desire caught my attention right away. First because of all of the positive reviews I read. Second was the name! It's creative, unique and I loved it. I sent an email to enquire if an appointment was needed for a consultation and they responded immediately. We set up an appointment and they sounded genuinely excited to help us out with our framing project. This was our first professional framing experience. Thankfully, from the very beginning of our consultation we both felt comfortable with Ken and Melissa. They were friendly, and knowledgable without being intimidating. They listened to our vision and offered great suggestions without being "pushy". Melissa was helpful and patient as she showed us a wide variety of frame/mat options. Ken explained his process and helped to find products that were not only to our liking and in our price range, but also called to verify they were in-stock so we didn't have any unexpected delays. Together we came up with a solid plan. After sharing some great conversation we left and couldnt wait to see the finished product. Two weeks later we picked up our framed picture and absolutely LOVE it. It's big, it's beautiful, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. A huge thank you to Ken & Melissa for everything. If you are looking for a quality, trustworthy framing company we would highly recommend the talented Ken and Melissa at Your Art's Desire!
