The team catered the event around our desired team and were so helpful insetting up, supporting the children, keeping to time, and pivoting quickly when needed. The multifaceted space caters to artists, climbers, pretend and role play and the staff were wonderful in getting the group ready for the main art project. We highly recommend Art Barn for an upcoming birthday, event, etc.

I initially…read morehesitated at the cost, but it ended up being totally worth it--it was by far the most relaxing and stress-free birthday party I've thrown since becoming a mom. The kids had a blast making an art project to take home, and they loved running around the amazing outdoor play space, which has a climbing wall, a house to paint, a mud kitchen, and even a fairy garden. The best part? I didn't have to plan anything except the invitations. The Art Barn staff handled all the activities and kept the kids entertained, which meant the parents actually got to relax and enjoy themselves, too. Highly recommend Art Barn! My daughter also loves their art classes, so if you're looking for a fun, easy, and creative experience for your kiddos, this is the spot.

The store is clean, well-organized, and prices are a bit more than you'd pay at a large big box art store in the city, but here you are supporting a local business. They also offer art classes for adults and youth that are listed outside the store, and on their website. They have fun extras like games, craft and embroidery kits, and cute character items like Pusheen and Miffy. A fun visit for creative locals.

I insisted on taking my mother in law here to shop for a gift for her grandson. She lives just down the street so it's very convenient for her to shop for her grandkids. She was totally impressed...with the selection of products, the service and with their free gift wrap with the recipient's name stamped on it. I love Tantrum especially because you can find unique, one-of-a-kind gifts that you could not get at a box store. It's always so much fun stepping into Tantrum, so whimsical.

Follow the festive flying t-shirts waving outside the door. WHO? You know when you walk in, and it's just the guy who runs the store and his friend, and its too quiet, and you realize you don't belong there? This was the opposite of that. Well, it was the guy (Zio) and his friends, but they were nice. Very polite but warm. Breezy ocean photos, vibrant photos/art, fanflippintastic T-shirts. Listen, my son liked a T so much he bought it with his own money (?! he's 9). Great stuff. Go already.

They are supportive of young artists, too. With classes and places to draw while they're visiting. It's got a relaxed vibe and I really like going there. It's very different from the large, busy art stores in The City. It's valuable in its own way. They also offer classes for grown-ups.

I've been coming to Dharma with her since I…read morewas a kid, but our most recent trip had a different purpose for me as a newly minted knitter. Their customer service was friendly and helpful without feeling stifling; they gave us room to browse, which was nice. They offer various classes that sound fun and interesting. I appreciated the friendly vibes; their sale section had some great finds, too. They're committed to selling ethically sourced products and won't sell things made in sweatshops, which is excellent and makes me so much more inclined to shop there again. I've been interested in trying Shibori dyeing for a while and will likely return soon to buy supplies and more yarn. Overall, they have good vibes all round, and I recommend them for your crafting needs.

After I made a selection Amanda measured the cushions that I brought in to tell me how much yardage I would need. After I got her figure, I went to my own upholster to confirm the amount of yardage, as the fabric was $110/yard. Amanda quoted me that I needed 7 yards and my upholster said a little over 1 yard. I ordered 2 in case I needed it for something else. That's quite a difference in price Also, I had ordered and paid for motorized roman shades November 4 that were on sale. I signed a paper with my payment that day. When I called in late December to get an estimate of delivery they could not find the paper that I signed that I would pay for the shades. I already paid in November with my order. So my order did not get started until December 8 as I had to resign their promise to pay contract . Since it takes up to 10 weeks for assembly, I'm still waiting for my shades. Be very careful and don't let them tell you how much you need, get a second opinion.

The only customer-interface (or significant lack there of) is with the store. We had a fantastic experience about 8-9 years ago with custom living room drapes made by Calico, and when we needed new bedroom shades I turned to them. Due to covid, I ordered swatches online and selected the fabric I wanted, then left a voice mail and email that we were ready. The woman who returned my messages was helpful and had good ideas. She arranged a measurer to come and gave us a quote and date by which the coverings would be ready. All good. Then, radio silence. I called and she was never there. The date came and went by months. No return calls. I escalated to a district manager and said to cancel everything and refund my deposit. I received a call back from the store manager who apologized and promised to handle it herself. She said that they looked beautiful and we're almost done, we could have a significant discount, gave us a new delivery date, etc. She promised to call every Friday. She called once, blew through the deadline, we never heard from her but eventually got a call from the installation person. The coverings are nice and we like them. We were charged the full amount. I disputed it with my credit card company and called the store manager. She never returned my call, but the charge was reversed a couple of days later. The final product is nice but we will never go there again! Too bad their customer service is abysmal because the work product is okay.

Upon coming into the store, I was quickly greeted by a sales associate who asked if I needed anything. I kept to myself looking at the cards and papers, but listening to other customers interact with the employees, I could tell the staff was very friendly. Of course, I quickly found out for myself the cheerfulness of the staff when I went to check out. The sales associate was super patient when I got distracted mid-purchase by another patron's basset hound dog, and she gave me a compliment me on my leggings that sparked a fun chat about plus-sized jeans. I found the selection at this Paper Source to be stupendous and inspiring.
