It is not even comparable to the other chain stores in the area. They also have a good selection of sewing notions and sewing patterns. And wow they have a ton of puzzles!! It's so fun coming in here and seeing all the great things they have to offer. The lady cutting my fabric was very kind and gave me lots of good recommendations for my sewing project. The store had a lovely ambiance. I would highly recommend checking Ben Franklin out for your crafting needs!

I went to get some pop tape for a project. Not only was I shown the exact place to find it in, but also the one that would work best for my needs. The lady asked me what I wanted it for and went above and beyond by grabbing a piece of paper and showing me other ways to do it. What I had imagined to be too much work, seemed very simple after all, after the little demo from her. So thankful for this store and its employees!

We had my son's birthday party at Sit and Kit and were so pleased by our experience! When we…read morearrived, the studio was already all decorated for his birthday and fun, kid-friendly music was playing. The kids all had a great time painting portraits of Squishmallows, which they all got to take home with them after the party. The instructor, Noga was helpful and encouraged the kids to express their own creativity while still providing guidance. All of our guests have expressed to me how wonderful the party was! We are looking forward to returning to Sit and Kit to try out more of the many fun projects they have displayed throughout the studio!

I was so desperately looking everywhere to buy trifold project board for my son's presentation following day. I looked for stores in Bellevue and Redmond roaming over an hour. My spouse called in this store to check if they have and they confirmed they have it. I rushed from Walgreens Bellevue to this store at Crossroads 5min before store closing. Store manager did not allow me in at all, simply sighing they are closed. There was a couple inside who cane out exact 9pm that's when sliding doors opened. I went in requesting to grab the board, explaining they made me wait outside until it passed 9pm and the store manager simply mentioned we were closed. I told that it was not fair to not allow a customer who made it 5min before store closed but she showed not courtesy! I felt so bad! The two other persons working in the store watched helplessly! Shouldn't a customer be allowed in 5 min before closing? I understand people may be tired etc. but small courtesy would have made huge difference :(

We came with some friends to their felting class and had an amazing time. Yatzee was super sweet in helping the kids out and even allowed for one crafter to make her own creative design AND then gave her more supplies to take home to make the actual craft we did in class. Super thankful that they're not super strict with rules, etc so that it was comfortable for all in all of their creative processes. Classes can be pricey and for some reason the mobile version does not accept Apple Pay but otherwise a great experience and a new felter has been born!

The staff was friendly and helped us understand the process of picking out a piece and painting it. There are also instructions on the wall on the steps you need to take to decorate your piece and there are labels everywhere to make sure you know what you're doing. When you first walk in, you pick a piece of pottery out to decorate/paint. There are a ton of items to select from including bowls, mugs figurines, and plates. I picked a little bowl to paint and pulled up my Pinterest board for inspiration. I went to go pick out my colors and they all had swatches on them with 1-3 coats of paint to show you how it looks when fired. They also have precision tip paint bottles (in the same selection as the regular paint) for little details and stamps. They provide you with assortment of paint brushes, decorated pieces for inspiration and different foam applicators for ombre looks. They also give you ceramic palettes and a water mug to clean off your paintbrushes. After you're done with decorating, you clean up your items and put them in the correct compartments for the staff to wash. Then you pay and they tell you when you can pick it up (usually within a week). There was only one staff member when we were there, but she was super helpful and kind. As we left around 6 PM on Friday, it got very busy.

And I supported it wholeheartedly despite sometimes finding items slightly cheaper elsewhere. Additionally, as an art educator I always suggested it to my students for their value, as well as excellent and knowledgeable customer service. Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed to say both superb customer service and cost value are gone. Firstly, I learned from my students that student discount was no longer available. Then after my last visit, I was stunned how much the prices have increased. Still, I remained a dedicated patron. After coming home I realized one of the expensive wooden panels had a substantial gouge in the corner - simply too noticeable to try fixing. I confidently returned to the store but was told they would not take back the damaged items - because they couldn't verify it was damaged before my purchase. The associate was unbearably rude and dismissive. One my way out I expressed my profound disappointment with the current direction of this trusted business with another associate, only to have the associate I originally spoke with catch up with us. Now they changed their song, saying they could accept the damage item but I was very lucky because it's not something they always do. What?! The associate appeared to be making up policies as they went along. In the end I kept the damaged wooden panel, as I will keeping my business away from this place.

I absolutely refuse to pay more just because of the location a vape store happens to be in. It's ridiculous. A product that costs $20 elsewhere is almost $30 here--for just a refill pod, not even the full kit or device. I'm not getting scammed. I'd rather drive to Seattle and pick up a vape than pay these inflated prices. This is absurd.
