I had a lovely time shopping here with my mom recently. I've been coming to Dharma with her since I…read morewas a kid, but our most recent trip had a different purpose for me as a newly minted knitter. Their customer service was friendly and helpful without feeling stifling; they gave us room to browse, which was nice. They offer various classes that sound fun and interesting. I appreciated the friendly vibes; their sale section had some great finds, too. They're committed to selling ethically sourced products and won't sell things made in sweatshops, which is excellent and makes me so much more inclined to shop there again. I've been interested in trying Shibori dyeing for a while and will likely return soon to buy supplies and more yarn. Overall, they have good vibes all round, and I recommend them for your crafting needs.

I drove from Novato to San Rafael to make a purchase from Michael's, and after about twenty…read moreminutes of gathering the items that I needed, I went to check out. They have several self check machines, and once check stand with a human. As I approached the human, they said "I'm closed," I asked if there was another human to help me, they responded "No, but you can check yourself out," I let them know that I don't use self checkout, and I wanted a human to help me. They walked away. I left everything at the checkout Anne exited the store. This is horrible customer service.

I was surprised how well stocked the needle arts section was-- good selection of crochet hooks,…read moreembroidery thread options mostly all full, and a generous selection of yarn. I mostly came for assorted storage bins for my craft supplies (especially a thread bobbin box-- only six bucks and perfect!) but also happened upon some cute Easter basket stuffers in the seasonal/holiday section at the front. Many items were 40% off as they often have deals running. I also noticed they have a pretty good selection of decently priced frames, small to large (20"+). Service wasn't really a thing but I was happy and fine to peruse on my own.

Be very careful with this store. I was going to order fabric that was on sale in October for…read morecushions. After I made a selection Amanda measured the cushions that I brought in to tell me how much yardage I would need. After I got her figure, I went to my own upholster to confirm the amount of yardage, as the fabric was $110/yard. Amanda quoted me that I needed 7 yards and my upholster said a little over 1 yard. I ordered 2 in case I needed it for something else. That's quite a difference in price Also, I had ordered and paid for motorized roman shades November 4 that were on sale. I signed a paper with my payment that day. When I called in late December to get an estimate of delivery they could not find the paper that I signed that I would pay for the shades. I already paid in November with my order. So my order did not get started until December 8 as I had to resign their promise to pay contract . Since it takes up to 10 weeks for assembly, I'm still waiting for my shades. Be very careful and don't let them tell you how much you need, get a second opinion.

The people who do the measuring, fabrication, and…read moreinstallation deserve a five-star review, but there is no way to rate them, or interact with them, separately. The only customer-interface (or significant lack there of) is with the store. We had a fantastic experience about 8-9 years ago with custom living room drapes made by Calico, and when we needed new bedroom shades I turned to them. Due to covid, I ordered swatches online and selected the fabric I wanted, then left a voice mail and email that we were ready. The woman who returned my messages was helpful and had good ideas. She arranged a measurer to come and gave us a quote and date by which the coverings would be ready. All good. Then, radio silence. I called and she was never there. The date came and went by months. No return calls. I escalated to a district manager and said to cancel everything and refund my deposit. I received a call back from the store manager who apologized and promised to handle it herself. She said that they looked beautiful and we're almost done, we could have a significant discount, gave us a new delivery date, etc. She promised to call every Friday. She called once, blew through the deadline, we never heard from her but eventually got a call from the installation person. The coverings are nice and we like them. We were charged the full amount. I disputed it with my credit card company and called the store manager. She never returned my call, but the charge was reversed a couple of days later. The final product is nice but we will never go there again! Too bad their customer service is abysmal because the work product is okay.

After pricing new sofas…read morethat all looked just like mine, I found dreams, fabrics, duvets, and they were able to replace my cushions and make my sofa good as new!!. Letsy and Mario were fantastic! We had a conversation on the phone. They came out the next day, took my cushions and re-stuffed them quickly and delivered them as promised, in less than a week, better than new, with new foam, down, wraps and so much more. They cleaned the covers and already checked in to see if they are comfortable, and if I am happy with the results. Couch is comfy and looks brand new again! Good old-fashioned service like this just doesn't exist anymore! Great craftsmanship , transparency, and they were willing to work within my budget. I recommend them highly.!!!

He helped my pick a fabric to meet my needs and even called me back when he found a better deal on a fabric he thought I'd like even better. He picked up the sofa, fixed all the cushions and recovered the sofa and made zippered covers for all the cushions. He even added some extras, which I had meant to ask for but forgot- like arm covers and some throw pillow covers. He also brought two options for the back cushions so I could test what I liked best. I couldn't be happier with the results, and it was a pleasure to work with someone that values high quality workmanship!!! I LOVE my sofa more than when it was brand new. He did such high quality work. It was worth every penny and I have already recommended him to lots of my friends.
