The place is dusty with stuff needing to be moved when look for some of the books . I asked about some cards and was given the brush off. I was told by a few friends that the cards they bought were in not the condition they were priced for when they got them home and looked at in better lighting. Really don't plan on going back Can't see why some people rate this place like they do.

Such a cute little shop that has become a regular place I visit when in Corvallis. The people…read morerunning it are super polite and will answer any questions you have about all the cool, kooky gizmos along the counters. If you're a LEGO lover, here would be a place worth dropping by;)

It feels like a cross between Night at the Museum and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. VERY very well curated. The natural history specimens and science objects were my favorite. It is so refreshing to walk into a shop full of all the amazing curiosities you will never ever see in a big-box store. It has something for everyone. I kept finding so many new things to look at that I apologized to the owner for loitering! This place is a total treasure in downtown Corvallis!

That's where customers go to look for help! Also I refuse to shop anywhere that expects me to check myself out! That's your job to provide that service! Michael's should remember they have competition that allows you to shop from the privacy of your own home! I would give a zero stars if i had that option!

Smoothies and sandwiches coming out to them. I tried the smoothie and it was delicious. Only one person working and he told me about the historic building had poor wiring that caused delays in fixing food but he seemed cheerful and upbeat working through the frustrations. I'll go back but I hear they are looking for a place with a decent kitchen to work better, so they are closing.

I had a great experience with Olufson Designs. I wandered in one day with questions about having my…read morering sized differently. They took detailed photos of the ring before, which were included on the estimate and receipt, and gave a clear estimate of what to expect. This is after we dropped it off at a different shop in Albany to have two bands soldered together, where photos were not taken of the ring at drop off and he felt overall uneasy about that experience. I really felt like everyone was friendly and helpful!

About a year ago, I brought a ring in to Olufson to inquire about having it appraised. The sales…read moreassociate was nice, told me they don't do appraisals, and that they generally don't recommend an appraisal them unless you are planning on selling the ring (strange advice if you ask me. I wanted to have it appraised for insurance). I don't think she knew that I brought the ring in a year or two earlier to have the gem identified (it was an inherited ring and we didn't know what the gem was). And I was told at the time that it was a high quality gem with high quality diamonds on it. She offered to buy it on the spot for $388. I politely declined knowing that the ring was likely worth a lot more. I finally had it appraised and the replacement value is off the charts. I know that replacement/insurance value is not equal to a purchase/selling price AT ALL, but the gold alone is worth 10x what they offered me. So shady. I would never go back to Olufson after this. Moral of the story: Always ALWAYS get a second opinion. Never sell jewelry on the spot. And maybe avoid Olufson.
