My husband and I took our niece here, and I think she had more fun just looking around than actually picking out things to buy. There are huge sections of Legos, models, craft kits, games, toys, beads, painting supplies, and even stuff for babies. My niece got a coloring book, pastel colored pencils, a game with sparkly fish, and a little plastic helicopter. My husband even got some super glue that he needed for work. Nothing was terribly priced, and the staff was helpful and friendly. I have been trying to fit more crafts into my life as a relaxing hobby, and I think I'll have to visit Dan's again to pick up a craft kit. It's a fun place to just browse too.

I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to Curtis for his exceptional customer service while assisting…read morewith my attempt to procure a repair for a simple wooden mobile from my childhood. After being directed to him as someone who might be open to the opportunity, Curtis took one look at the item, scowled, and said, "That's not anything I want to touch. You can fix it yourself." It was truly a memorable experience. Without Curtis, I may have gone on with my day feeling perfectly fine. Instead, I was given the opportunity to feel embarrassed for making an innocent request at a store that had once been a cherished part of my childhood memories. Thank you again, Curtis!

Based on previous experience at another location we planned on having to order it and come back for it another time. It was a Christmas gift and a very busy time in the store and that department in particular. Michael offered to cut the mat immediately, then went on to fit it all into the frame, along with our picture, and put the proper closures on the back to ensure we had the right fit and end product. He then wrapped it and we were on our way. We thanked him and let him know we were grateful. He was gracious, very professional, and pleasant. He shared that entering our order into the system would have taken as long as completing the work immediately and he wanted to make it easy for us and then have one less job for him to have to complete later. Very thoughtful decision and efficient. We appreciated him very much. It was a day of errands and he helped make it go as smoothly as possible. Thanks Michael!

Parkleigh has saved my life by stocking all the gifts I forgot to get, didn't want to cart all the way to Western New York, or didn't even know I wanted to buy. They have something for everyone, and I truly mean that. If you can't find a gift for someone here, it's because that person doesn't like anything at all. They've got chocolates of all kinds, tea and coffee ground to order (which I wish I'd known before I'd bought mine elsewhere), beauty products, stuffed animals, coasters, books, flasks, camping gear, cookware, Bills gear, candy, and of course, socks, cards, mugs, shirts, hats, and anything else you could want with clever and funny little sayings. Seriously, so many socks. I've never seen this many socks that talk about drinking wine. But if that's something you need in your life, get over to Parkleigh. Also, the staff is super sweet and helpful.

The item was packed very well and shipped quickly. The customer service is always kind and patient as there is a 3-hour time difference.

I have not taken any of the classes but I have worked with the owner and met a handful of the…read moreinstructors. I have also sat in on a class to see how it works. The studio is located on the second floor of a multifunctional historical building in the Neighborhood of the Arts. When you come to the studio don't be afraid to knock on the door... just walk in. They keep the door closed because of the a breeze that can sometimes effect the art work going on inside. All of the staff members I met were super friendly and professional. I came to the studio with no experience in any of the art they offered and absolute no knowledge. Marilynne and her instructors are excellent teachers and truly care to make your experience special. The class size I sat in on was a glass fusion class. If you don't know what that is(which I didn't before I stopped in) it's where you cut colored pieces of class and place them on a big piece of glass. Once you get your desired arrangement it then gets put in a furnace and melts into an awesome piece of art, just the way you arranged it. The class was a small class size, 4 people total. The instructor gave the students great instruction, then let them get creative. She offered pointers and answered questions along the way. I look forward to signing up for some of the hot glass classes. Also, it's important to note that Studio 34 repairs jewelry. So if you have a favorite piece that needs mending whether its glass, beads, or metal...stop in here!

Potential students beware. It seems to be all about the money!…read more I registered and paid for a stained-glass class at Studio 34 through the Rochester Brainery for $295. The class was supposed to have been taught by a world-renowned glass artist, and the class description read that it included all the glass and all materials except for protective eyewear. On the first day of class, the instructor, who was not the professional glass artist listed in the course description, had us look through bins of glass scraps after we'd decided on a pre-approved design. While I found some pieces I could use, I could not find green or blue glass that matched and/or were large enough for the design. The instructor looked too, couldn't find any, then brought out some sheets of glass for me to choose from. At no point was there a mention of having to pay more for the glass. When I showed up the following week, I was told that I had to pay for the green and blue glass I'd picked out the week before. I objected, and the instructor said I had to call the owner, who said that the bins had copious amounts of glass for the projects. They did not. They were inadequately stocked. I was not the only one having difficulty finding glass. Every student had trouble. The owner said that my options were to pay for the glass or take a refund for the class. I will not be forced into paying for glass that was supposed to be included in the class cost so I took the refund. If there was an additional cost to the glass, that should have been said upfront when the sheets were brought out by the instructor. And it turns out that this class does not even provide the finishing piece so we couldn't actually hang our stained-glass projects. We could only leanthem against a window. The finishing piece is part of another class and this was not mentioned in the course description. Another class and more money to finish one piece. When a course description says we're going to be instructed by a glass master, I expect that it will be unless I'm notified in advance that it's not the case and offered a chance to opt-out at that time. When a course description says the class includes the materials, I expect to be able to find glass that I can use to create an integrated piece, rather than random scraps that result in a mismatched mess. The only other option offered was to open my wallet and pay more.
