Purchased a Tri-Mar painting stretcher that had a flaw.

However know they will watch you like hawks and have no shame starring at you while you walk around and will constantly remind you to bag and price things you put on your trays. It's unnerving and unwelcoming the way they hover over you.

They price some beads individually which can get really expensive, you can def find better deals elsewhere in the fashion district, since it's so close.

Excellent service, huge selection of invites, and worth it!!…read more Andrea has been so helpful in the whole process of choosing wedding invitations. We walked in without an appointment, and we were able to be seen same day. There's a huge selection of wedding invites to get inspiration from. Andrea is so knowledgeable from everything to the type of font to use, to the ply of the paper, to helping us write out what to say. She's very communicative and transparent about pricing as well. The whole process from deciding on our invites to sending them to the printer and getting them back maybe took about 3ish(?) weeks. I highly recommend for any occasion!

There were tons of supplies and games for teachers or those looking to work with their kids at home, and lots of items for decorating a room for an event. We came looking for items to use for a holiday craft activity for our kids and we were overwhelmed by the variety of items on display. We had priced most of what we'd purchased on Amazon, and the prices really were comparable. There is nothing like seeing the items in person to gauge whether or not they are really what you need (several things we had ordered on Amazon actually ended up not being usable upon receipt).
