    One of the coolest shops in town. It's the original head shop of Boulder. Still owned and run by the same amazing family.

    Art in 'pieces' Usually, a wonderful shopping experience…read moreuntil art purchase. Review is for co-owner - Christie L. In store first wk Dec 2024. Saw MQuan Art ceramic hanging in store. Store would not sell display piece. Ordered, paid, and told not refundable. Piece greater than 2K plus shipping. Worked with manager, Cori, who stated piece would be over 2 months in receiving and first shipped to Cedar & Hyde for 'inspection' then to us out of state. Asked for art photo prior to sending as it was a ceramic piece and wanted same colors,etc as store display - and, it was art paid for. Four months passed, contacted store first time to check on piece April 2025. Had not heard anything from store prior. Finally, heard back, piece 'being made'. Received art directly from artist in NY and charged $75 for shipping. Art was in 'pieces' and was to be assembled by us according to instructions and 'number'. This was neither conveyed in store at time of purchase, prior to shipping or by store email. Picture sent by store/artist prior to shipping showed art assembled as in store. Note this is a fragile assembly of ceramic discs of varying colors. If damaged by us in assembly, would be ruined and non refundable. After numerous curt emails with C & H owner, Christie, refusing return of piece and her misrepresentation of art, need for assembly and no 'inspection', she asked the artist to refund piece and also offered 'someone'of our choice to assemble the piece for us at her cost? Eventually, I returned the art to the artist at a cost of $80 that C&H, Christie, would not cover. Christie, agreed to credit art(only) from artist, when disassembled art received 'undamaged'. We buy art globally & have shipped. This was the most difficult experience and rude store owner we've ever encountered. We're out $80 through this entire experience. Never do business at this store - especially if you're expecting integrity, quality and customer service. Store in Boulder CO. Owner from KS. Art is a large piece, yet easily shipped in tact with proper art packing and charge of $75.This email was Christie's last response to requesting $80 return shipping fee: Remember, it was also up to us to find an 'assembler'... Owner will respond "it was all on us as buyers to assemble and take responsibility it wasn't damaged in doing so." Hi Beth, We will not be refunding you the $80 you paid to send the piece back. There was nothing wrong with the piece. We made an exception to give you a refund on a special order, which is not our policy. We paid the $75 to get it to you, which is not our policy. I offered to have someone come to your house to assemble it, and you declined. The $80 for sending it back is on you. Have a great night, Christie

    TL;DR: Shop elsewhere. Pettiness loses business. You can…read moreview at this as a failed "mystery shopper" experience, because that's what it felt like to me. I really wanted to like this store, but the negatives were just too overwhelming. The young gals at the shop were very snooty and didn't bother to acknowledge me being in their store. Like, nothing! I know they saw me, but there was zero acknowledgement. I was vacationing so I had plenty of money to spend, however it was evident by their behavior that they didn't want me there. It was unfortunate. The visit was uncomfortable and unprofessional, and therefore I wouldn't recommend this lackluster store to anyone. (Out of all the shops we went into, the service here was by far the absolute worst.) I'm guessing their lame, "selective" service is why the store was otherwise empty.... I'm unable to hand them a (rightly deserved) zero star, so one star it is.

    I had been looking for a smaller bag in a lighter color for summer and had not found one in my…read moreusual first choice locations. I even looked online at REI where there would be a collection to choose from different brands. Many, I had already seen and were not exactly right or if promising, they were out of stock. But the last time I bought a bag sight unseen, at a great clearance price from Athleta, it was smaller than needed. When I saw a bag online with good dimensions and good colors and I knew that we had an Arc'teryx store on Pearl, I called them. I have owned their branded fleece in the past and remembered that it had great quality features. I was told what bag colors were in stock, so I got a ride down to look. I chose the mallow (lavender, very summery) color and the price was right so I bought it. A nice feature it has, as a cross body style, is a narrower strap than my winter one. This makes it all the more comfortable when it is worn directly on a summer shirt. My other bag is much more comfortable over a coat. The store was beautiful and well staffed. They even have some specialized laundering machines behind a wall of glass. If you buy a down or Gor-tex jacket from them, they will launder it for free. That sounds like a great service. Sadly none of my down jackets are theirs. Luckily I have no problem laundering our Gortex jackets (also not their brand) but I will take that into account when replacing jackets in the future. I have a brand that fits me and that is always my first criteria.

    Arc'teryx Downtown Boulder Store - Disappointing Experience with Their Repair Promise…read more I recently visited the downtown Boulder Arc'teryx location with my $90 lightweight long sleeve shirt, hoping to get a small collar stitch repaired. I had purchased this shirt with the understanding that Arc'teryx stood by repairs for their products--but left the store feeling let down by both the service and their warranty policy. My shirt developed a loose thread in the collar after coming out of the wash. I figured it would be an easy, straightforward fix, so I brought it back to the store. The employees seemed unsure about store procedures and explained I had two repair "options": Mail it off to their repair facility (estimated 6-8 week wait)--a solution I was fine with. Receive a store voucher to put towards a replacement, which would be emailed after 30-90 minutes. I said the voucher was fine and left to grab a coffee. Not long after, I got a call from the associate letting me know I suddenly wasn't eligible for a voucher or repair at all because I'd cut off the three-inch-long white side tag. She explained, in a condescending manner, that removing the tag voids the warranty. For clarity: this tag is attached with a small, easily-removable piece of fabric (a common industry practice precisely so customers can remove the tag without harming the garment). I bought this shirt about six months ago and, like most people, didn't want a long nylon tag sticking out of the hem, so of course it's no longer there. It was honestly frustrating to be told that removing such an intrusive tag disqualified me from any warranty help--especially for a clearly minor manufacturer flaw like an unfinished thread. Overall, I was extremely disappointed: The employees didn't really know their store policies, and what should have been a small fix turned into a hassle. The "repair guarantee" is misleading--if you cut off a tag, you lose eligibility for both repair and any compensation, regardless of whether the damage is a manufacturing defect. At this price point, I expect reliable customer service and a real commitment to standing by your products. Needless to say, I'll be looking elsewhere for quality gear. The service and policies here just aren't trustworthy enough for me to shop with Arc'teryx again.
