Used to like this place, but now it's just become a no-go. They look like they have a lot of stuff,…read morebut every time I go, they're out of whatever I went there for --- usually several things, as I always go with a list, since it's a bit of a drive for me. Their watercolor brush selection is quite skimpy; they never seem to have the size I need or type I want, and even weeks later they still don't have that size/type in stock. Same for specific watercolors. They have an entire display of Daniel Smith watercolors, yet the very color I need, they're out of. One day one of the staff spent 15 minutes checking all the other brands to see if they had that color in *any* other brand -- nope. And it was a common color like Prussian blue. Watercolor sketchbooks? Unless you like blocks (which I personally can't stand), you won't find much. A small display of Hand-book sketchbooks, which are mostly for drawing and not watercolor. The watercolor ones are 200gsm, not 300gsm. (Which I was able to order from Amazon for the same price as Meininger was charging for the 200gsm.) Drawing pens? You're in luck if you do manga. If you use probably the most popular brand, Uni-Pin fineliner, forget it. They don't even sell them. (They seem to prefer Sigma Microns.) Watercolor pencils? Sure, if you want the really large expensive sets. If you want to try them out with a set of 24 Goldfaber Aquas, nope. Art storage? Slim pickings. A few zippered pouches. The dollar store has a better selection. Overall, they're out of whatever I need when I need it, and they won't be getting in anytime soon. Sometimes they can get stuff sent from their CO Springs location, but that means a second trip back to the store, when I only wanted to drive there once. (The neighborhood is awful.) Also, their website is very hit or miss, and *won't* tell you if they have something in stock in the store. Sometimes you put in a search term that will return "no item found" when I know for a fact they sell that item in the store. Go do a search for "Lamy Safari" and you'll see what I mean. They have a selection of Lamy Safari pens in the store, but only converters and lead refills on their website. Prices are high, sometimes by $10-15 or more over what you'd pay elsewhere. I was looking for the Albrecht Durer 24 watercolors set, which they were selling for full price at $72. I had just seen this same set on Blick Art for half that, $37.50. I mentioned this to one of the staff and his response was, "Yeah, well they can buy in bulk and we can't." Okay, fair enough, but wow, even with shipping I could get it far, far cheaper online. As for returns, ha! Don't go by their printed return policy. I mistakenly bought a quill watercolor brush that's way too big for my needs; called the store to see if they have the next size down, which they do, but was told I could not exchange it "because the manager says it's too hard to tell if a brush has been used or not." Then why doesn't the return policy state that? See the attached photo for their posted Return Policy. Now show me where it says "brushes can't be returned because you can't tell if they've been used or not." The staff person on the phone said I could bring in the brush and speak to the manager about it, but I will not be doing that. I've encountered him before: he's one of those people who thinks he's hilarious and is in your face whether you need help or not. Sorry, I refuse to deal with him, so I'll just keep my overpriced $47 synthetic brush and try to find a use for it. Some of the staff are pleasant and nice to work with; we even got to know some by name. But overall, shopping at Meininger's has just become too much of a hassle and we won't be shopping there again.
