Now don't get me wrong they have nice items that are very overpriced but supporting a local person I can deal with it! Unfortunately not everything in this store is local, I found kids toys that were made in China, a rag doll to be precise for $20. It's an awful shame that their story says they focus on local makers.

It's a great comfortable place to go when you need to get out but it's too hot/cold outside. They're usually open until 8pm so if you needed a gift or some other item quick, they'd be easy enough to get to after a regular work schedule if you live in or are visiting the area. All of the sales team that work there are super friendly and can assist you if you're looking for something in particular. It also smells lovely in there - probably due to the candles they house in store. Happy shops!

I've browsed in this store a couple of times and made one small purchase. The prices are…read moreoutrageous. The stuff is cute, but there are about a hundred stores in the city that sell the same items for a better price. They must have a big problem with shoplifting because at least three of the staff were patrolling the aisles and watching customers like a hawk. They sell the $60 Labubus so the store was busy, but half the customers put them back on the shelf when they saw the price. I'd say this is a cute place to look at if you're nearby, but do your research on more reasonable options in the city before you spend your money here.

The place is super cute and has a great assortment of things like pens and sketchbooks and agendas... choices for each vibe! The people working here know their stuff and will help you find what you're looking for. Otherwise, they're not the type of people to ask you what's up every five minutes, so you don't feel pressured. :) Overall I really like coming here (and the other nearby location for some extra gifts) but their prices are a bit expensive. So... I only buy cards from here for people I really care about lol

ArtBox, a supposedly well known stationery store in Korea. They open one up inside H Mart,…read moreoccupying the space that used to be customer service and claw machines. At first I was hopeful that H Mart would use this space for more restaurant stalls after it created a 4 stall food hall last May, followed by another 5 stall section in the summer. But no more restaurant stalls. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Browsing through the store did bring back a lot of my sweet childhood memories in Asia. Stationery stores in Asia were students' favorite stops. I remember in classes and during recess, we would show off fancy pencils, fragrant erasers, sick stickers, and transformer-level pencil cases. Well, that's what ArtBox offers, and more - what every student would love to own and show off in class. One thing that is totally unique here, well in addition to merchandise offered, is the price tags. The prices are printed in Korean Won (currency) during packaging, presumably in Korea. And the store would have a placard of "price list" at every section, tabling the amounts equivalent in US Dollars! Another observation is there was no staff in the store proper! No cash registers either. I suppose one pays at the supermarket check-out?! I suspect ARTBOX isn't just for students and kids. I think grown up women might find many desirable items here too, such as plushes. I can see this as a fun date stop after some fun dishes at the adjacent food hall. Everything is cute. Not so much for men though I'm afraid - unless they are being held hostage and under duress by their kids (or date) lol.

Unfortunately, my experience working with him was unprofessional and frustrating. A few examples: I was told that to be included in A.R.T's August calendar, they would need a confirmation and deposit by August 5th. I paid the deposit of $200 on July 31st and submitted my poster along with the blurb by Aug 4th. However, I wasn't included in their newsletter. I had to follow up a couple times by email and phone to remind them to add me to their website. When I visited his store for the first time, he told me I could stop by the store any time I wanted, but when I did stop by, to ask about the lack of signups for my class, he cut me off mid-sentence, made me wait for 15 minutes, and then sent me home without a resolution. I ended up losing $200 on my deposit, which he claims was nonrefundable, despite his not saying so upfront. I would advise anyone considering partnering with A.R.T. to make sure all terms are in writing before making a payment.

Knick-knacks, tchotchkes, literally socks of all types, themed items. Location specific items. You name it, they probably have it. They also have a rewards program. The staff are very helpful, too. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for their prices. They are pretty steep, in my opinion. A pair of socks cost $15. They were of a special print and the perfect gift for a friend but I'd never ordinarily purchase a single pair of socks at that price point. I understand they aren't a big box store and need to keep the lights on, especially in Astoria. Come in for all the things - just expect to pay a pretty penny.
