If you're looking for custom frames, ask for Stephanie…read more Yeah, we went the pseudo-cheap route, in that we didn't buy original art work. We wanted to deck out our newish home with some faces of our favorite artists and thinkers, so we went wandering through the interwebs jungle and found fineartamerica.com, which had some pretty dope, affordable prints (Neko Case, Dalai Lama, Prince... yesssss). I figured I'd really score by picking up some cheap-o frames at Michael's and quickly realized that our prints came in unconventional sizes. That's when I asked the woman behind the counter, Stephanie, for some help. She was terrific. I knew, immediately, that I could trust her to creatively customize colors and nail the right frames, and she spent a good 45-50 minutes with me, individually working through each print, finding deals and discounts when possible, and honoring the artists who created the work. In the end I dropped a lot of cash on the job, but quite honestly, it was worth every friggin' penny. Our walls are gorgeous, and every morning, at breakfast, I give a wink to the Artist Formerly Known As...

The space is inclusive and the staff is friendly. It took me two months to realize that this location does NOT call you when your art is ready.

Of course, that doesn't go for all pieces since there's so much going on at Kiln It but if you're painting pre-made ceramics -- head back after 10 days to pick up your stuff!

Unfortunately, the checkout experience completely ruined this visit. There were only self-checkout registers open and just one employee assisting customers. When one of the registers double-scanned an item, I needed help to fix it. It took nearly 20 minutes to get assistance because the single employee was overwhelmed helping multiple people. I understand staffing challenges happen, but waiting that long just to fix a scanning error is frustrating and unacceptable. If the store is going to rely primarily on self-checkout, there needs to be adequate staff available to assist customers quickly when issues come up. Great products, but the checkout process seriously needs improvement.

The Prop House is exactly that, a huge storage facility stacked floor to ceiling with props of all sorts. When a film crew plans to shoot in New Mexico, you can bet they come to this place, first. Furniture, light fixtures, period clothing (there's an entire aisle of costumes from Dances With Wolves, randomly, and genuine WW2 shirts and jackets from vets who donated them after the war), signage, oh goodness the hats!, pianos and organs, pool tables, knit blankets... it's astonishing. Most of the articles fit an Old West narrative because, surprise, we shoot a lot of Westerns around here -- but there's plenty of modern stuff, too. They rent in bulk to studios, but they also lend some of the stuff out, free, to aspiring college film students. Hours are by appointment only. As an event planner, my imagination ran wild.

I asked three different employees for help locating magnets and was repeatedly given vague directions across the store without anyone verifying the location or offering to assist further. Despite following the instructions, I was unable to find the item. One employee did not make eye contact and provided directions without looking at me, while another appeared irritated when I asked for help and again when I requested she show me the location. At checkout, I shared my experience with the cashier and was informed that one of the employees involved was the store manager, Patrick, which was especially disappointing. This experience has left me no longer a fan of Hobby Lobby. Customer service matters. Please do better.
