Experience: This is my go to store, I live 8 minutes away. For the home projects that I've done, I…read morehave been able to find all the products I need. The store is organized, never too crowded. I've gone to purchase a few frames, for the style I went for, they have had exactly the color and fit I need. I haven't gotten anything custom framed, but I've only ever seen someone back there once. Selection: Good variety on everything! Never a miss Parking: On the weekend when it's busier, I park on the roof of the parking structure. During the week, in the evening, it's super easy to find parking right at the front of the store. The street isn't as busy to, super safe. Customer Service: It's eh. No one will go out of their way to ask you a question or for help, which I don't mind, since I like to wonder. When I have asked questions though, the staff has been bland and blah. Verdict: Will continue to go here, it has everything I need, and parking is always easy. Plus, they have a Target and Sprouts nearby. A good shopping place.

Michael's doesn't recycle the Balloon Time !…read more I am very disappointed that Michael's doesn't recycle the Balloon Time helium canisters. They must sell more individual canisters of helium than anyone else in LA. It is terrible. It is a huge waste. There are very few places to recycle helium balloon canisters. You can't just put them in the trash. The store employees are very helpful.

Come dressed in clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty!…read more I came with my partner and we both loved the experience. It was such a fun class, and as first-timers to pottery, we felt like it was a great introduction. The instructors were helpful, and the whole process was really enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to make something new. Once you're done, they glaze your piece for you, and you'll have to come back a few weeks later to pick up the finished product.

Staff did not acknowledge me walking in or continuing to stand there waiting for several minutes. He finally decided to glance my way asking if I needed help (obviously) & called over a girl to assist. When I let her know I'm looking to drop in & I have prior experience she tells me "oh we're more of a beginners class or membership kind of studio so we don't really have anything for you..." Another women mentions they have a class offering but realizes it was the wrong date. I glance around at the completely empty studio & then she says "The only other thing is I have a class I'm teaching in...7 minutes & it's completely empty so you could attend that & just do what you want..." Why would you not lead with that? She tells me it'll be $110. I pass because I'm not paying an exorbitant price if this is the service I can expect from them. "Sorry we didn't have something for you." Sounded like you had something perfect for me but didn't want me to stay, so what on Earth do you mean?

This store is wall to wall of those stickers! Stickers for every occasion, holiday, styles of different eras. I have found characters that I have loved in all stages of my life. They also carry different sticker books and packs, as well as sticker lines from different vendors. The prices are pretty reasonable but there are some where one sticker would cost $9 so be aware of the prices. It's easy to get caught up with the dopamine kick from all the nostalgia! Not only are the stickers nostalgic, this store is nostalgic as well. It's one of the stores in the Original Farmers Market that have stuck around for decades! I used to come here when I was young and now I bring my toddler niece for some treats that is not edible but just as fun to get. The staff is always friendly here. Come by and support this gem of a store!

I have never ever left anything but good reviews on here, but the experience I just had with Cane &…read moreBasket Supply left me feeling genuinely taken advantage of and insulted. I brought two cane cesca style chairs to this place for a repair quote on January 5th. When I arrived, Susan and Fred quoted me approximately $85-90/chair, they also volunteered that they would even polish the legs where the chrome was rusting. The quoted timeline was approx. 2 weeks. Sounds great! Next step they said would be a follow up call in one week with an exact quote once their guy was back in and could look at them. No call. I followed up myself two weeks later, and was told it would be an additional 2 weeks. No quote yet. Ok, no problem, I said. They must be busy. 6 weeks later, still no call. I followed up again on 2/13 and was finally given a quote - $400 - over double the original quoted price. I pointed this out to Susan on the phone and her verbatim response was "I'm sorry numbers are confusing." I swear to god lol. They came down to $300 all-in after seeing I was clearly unhappy with the price gouging, but that is still $100 over their original quote! When I went to pick up the chairs - first, the legs were not polished as Susan and Fred originally promised. Their demeanor, including Everado, was instantly hostile as they snickered at me despite the fact that I was nothing but polite. I wanted to say "What is going on here? How old are you and what makes you think it's ok to treat someone, let alone a customer like this?" I'm the youngest person of the three of them by about 30 years probably and they were acting like poorly behaved children. Maybe they felt they could get away with treating me like this because of my age? A final slap in the face, when I went to pay, I asked if they took credit card, to which they said "yes, but it will charge us a fee." Ok, I said, fine with me. Everado then insisted that I pay via Zelle or cash, despite them admitting to having the capability to take credit card. The message essentially being "yes, we take credit card, but not for you". If there's another place that does this in LA, I'd say go there. The work they do is fine, even good, but save yourself the pain of having to deal with these grown up children.

If you're looking for the cutest girls' creative day in LA, Charmed LA is SUCH a vibe…read more This isn't a café. There are no drinks. No distractions. It's literally a space where you sit down, slow down, and create. You get to design your own bracelets, pick your charms, layer your colors, and make something that actually means something to you. And I loved that part. It felt intentional. Not rushed. Not just for content. The whole experience is soft, girly, nostalgic in the best way -- like grown-up arts & crafts but elevated. It's giving: * healing girl time * intentional conversations * matching bestie bracelets * main character energy And what I really appreciated? You walk out with something YOU made. Not something you bought off a shelf -- something you created. For a girls' day on Melrose? 10/10. For a birthday activity? So cute. For just tapping into your creative side? Perfect. It's one of those experiences that reminds you to slow down and just enjoy being present.

I went into Kings Beads today intending to purchase several loose gemstones. While browsing, I…read morefound a piece of sunstone that was clearly marked $7 each. I brought that stone and a few others to the counter and asked what the total would be. When the employee told me the sunstone was actually supposed to cost more, he said it had been marked incorrectly and told me, essentially, that he would honor the $7 price "this time," but that he had just changed the price and it would cost more next time. I said okay and decided I would purchase the sunstone. However, when he realized I no longer wanted to purchase the other stones, his attitude completely changed. He told me that he was no longer going to give me the sunstone for the price it was listed at. I asked him directly, "So you're not going to sell it to me for the listed price?" and he said no. I told him that I thought that was shitty business practice, and his response was completely unacceptable. He told me "fuck you," "get out," and "go fuck yourself." He then continued yelling at me and shooed me out of the store. Regardless of a pricing mistake, there is absolutely no excuse for speaking to a customer that way. If the price was genuinely listed incorrectly, I understand that mistakes happen, but the situation could have been handled professionally. Instead, I was verbally abused and kicked out simply because I questioned the pricing and decided not to purchase the other items. I will not be returning to Kings Beads, and based on this experience, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before spending your money here. Edit- I just learned what took place is illegal. I will be filing complaints with the La county DCBA. Truly unfortunate as they did have some nice things and I may have been a repeat customer had this not occurred. As a business owner myself, I'll let you guys know that treating a customer with respect and overcorrecting your own mistakes instead of abusing a customer over them will always end better.
