Instruction is friendly and supportive for those of us less creatives, still needing an outlet. The variety of classes is good- just have to find what interests you. Pricing is fair.

My friend and I took a wreath-making class here--we had a great time, and each went home with a…read morebeautiful wreath! The instruction was good, and the employees were very helpful throughout with helping us complete our wreaths or offering advice if we got stuck. I appreciated that all supplies were included. We were also treated to a free cookie, and I also bought a hard cider (you can buy both N/A and alcoholic beverages) and enjoyed sipping it while making my wreath. I will definitely come back!

I moved here from Seattle where they have Seattle ReCreative, a place that takes donations of art…read moresupplies and things that could be used for art. I moved to Eugene and was thinking wouldn't it be great if Eugene had such a place, and lo and behold, MECCA! It's like Seattle ReCreative but 10+ times larger! Paint, canvas, paper, folios, yarn, fabric remnants, yogurt tubs, wine bottles, plant pots, scrapbook papers, so much fun stuff to get you thinking creativity on a budget. My only suggestion is they might find a way to fill in the huge puddle right in front of their door, and that they somehow get more parking spaces!

I come here all the time for second hand yarn and love it!! But today I donated for the first time…read moreever, and the person in the back room was literally the rudest customer service person Ive ever met. I'll still be shopping there because FOH people have always been so kind and amazing, but idk about donating because I really don't want to experience that again. Didn't get her name, but whoever was doing the donations in the back at 1pm today needed a break or something. She rolled her eyes, only spoke like two words to me and my partner, threw the bags down aggressively, and her overall attitude was not pleasant to encounter.

You do need to call first, but she is usually able to have you come when you want. Her prices are…read morevery reasonable and she has a lot of samples made up.

I am easily distracted by bright and shiny things, so naturally this place caught my attention and…read moreI stopped in with my husband. We were greeted by another customer originally. I found this odd, given she was just sort of standing there with a bag and her purse, yet asking if we were looking for anything specific. Sooner or later a real employee came in. I'm presuming she stepped out to use the little girl's room or something. This store is packed full, and I mean full of stuff. There's some clothing, scarves, and leggings. There's every possible button you could ever want in your lifetime in here. Same goes with thread and ribbon. If you can't find what you're looking for in here, I highly doubt it exists. The store is easily filled with just 5 or 6 people because there is so much product crammed in here. The funny thing is even with so much product in such a tiny space, it is incredibly well organized. This is one of those places where if you're carrying a decent sized purse, turn around too fast, or are just a bit clumsy, it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to crash into something. I found a hilarious pair of socks in here for my father in-law yesterday and went to buy them. As we're chatting with the employee, I grab ahold of my husband because he's about to run into a shelf. I can just see things spilling everywhere in my head and the mess he's going to create. As I'm trying to prevent what I think is less than a second away from becoming utter chaos, the employee reassured us that even working in the store and knowing where everything is, she still bumps shelves or runs into things almost daily. This simple warm reassurance relaxed me because I was nervous about being in such a small place and accidentally creating a huge mess for someone else to clean up. It's like going to someone's house and you're afraid to sit on any of the furniture kind of feeling. Not here. It's the relaxed, it happens kind of approach. Which is really what made it memorable to me. I heard another customer ask for a specific employee who had just left shortly before that. The customer wanted this employee because she could always find the customer the perfect buttons. If you ever find someone who has a knack for finding you exactly what you want when you're not even sure what that is, stalk them! Lol. That is a whole other level of customer service. But that also told me what kind of store this is, and that attention to details is a big deal to them. Would I return? Absolutely. It's a great store with a ton of products and incredible selection. The customer service is wonderful, warm, and welcoming. I certainly don't look like the kind of person who has crafting hobbies, and I only bought socks during my initial visit. Yet I was treated like I'd been in a thousand times and they knew me. I like that, and it is exactly why I will return when it's time to start a new craft project.

We are visiting from out of town and my son's RC car had a part that broke while he was using it…read more We went to Eugene Toy & Hobby to buy the part. Adam provided great service to us. We not only got the part, but Adam helped us install it. He also noticed that a couple of parts on the RC car were installed incorrectly by us. He took the time re-install the parts correctly. Adam went above and beyond by providing us with great customer service! So instead of my son having to wait to use his RC car when we got home, my son can now use his car while we are visiting Eugene! The prices are great and the service is outstanding!!

Bought a $250 r/c truck....the box clearly marked "Ready To Run", even had another customer tell me…read morehe had bought the same unit a week ago....all ready to take out and have fun with. Well, bullshit! I get home all excited to drive my new r/c truck around and what do I find after I open the box...no battery pack or charger. Clearly NOT READY TO RUN! Do the words "false advertising" mean anything? A customer out and out LIED to me (not the toy store's false) and your employees never said a single word that I would need to buy the missing items. I won't ever be a customer of Eugene Toy and Hobby again....mainly because this is the third time I have been misled and having to make a second trip to the store to return something. NOT good customer relations. I'll be using Amazon from now on. Pretty pathetic!

When we walked in we were greeted by Dana who was absolutely amazing at explaining the process to us. There was a ton of different items to choose from to start painting and lots of colors to choose. We had such a fun time together as a family and we cannot wait to come back again! Dana who was working was super nice, extremely kind, and patient with our young son! He made the experience that much better. I recommend 100% for a fun family time, date night, or even just alone time therapy painting.

More than slightly irritating was a situation that potters quarter could have at least contained the overly loud adults. We had a nice chill and creative time planned with the grandkids. It when we arrived it was chaos. There was a young elementary girls party going on that had food, drinks and many screaming girls. When something was funny the parents were loudest! It's like the rented the whole place for themselves to be as wild as they wanted with no courtesy for others - except for the fact that they didn't. I'm not a party pooper. I'm not a buzz kill. I'm totally glad we get back to real life and some def fun- for everyone! So let's still be polite. Let's still be aware of our surroundings. Let's respect the others in the room ! What about indoor voices ? What about "read the room"? Oh no , you couldn't do that because you were all acting like you were at a park ! When I say screams and outlandish laughs it was over the top ! Never mind I had someone with me that's slightly on the spectrum. So we are clearly more than just irritating everyone. It's completely besides that because this wasn't even just a normal delightful squeals that is usually just enough to make you smile if you delight in several children in a good mood! Yeah I said I wasn't a cranky old woman! But really ???? One, next time rent out the whole place. Two, if you can't then know that others are also trying to have fun too. Three, why would you purposely be that Karen? And Karen's kids that will turn into the Karen because Karen don't k ow any better to do better. Sad.
