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.

We had our four-year-old's birthday party at Art Barn last month, and it was awesome! 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.

We will definitely continue to visit Tantrum Mill Valley!

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.

So many beautiful stationary and note card sets that are crafted by women using recycled paper. Loved that! A little pricey, but quite nice. The service however was horrendous. It started when I asked one of the elder sales persons a simple question. She acted like it was the stupidest question ever and she answered super sarcastically. A younger person overheard and answered my question in a much nicer and normal way. When I was ready to checkout out, the first sales person (rude one) was busy chatting with her colleagues and looking at photos on their phones. I was completely ignored. Once again, the nicer sales person saw me and asked to help me. When I left I said thank you to everyone and to have a nice day. The rude women just gave me a black stare.
