First time at The Stronghold and Larson immediately knew what I was looking for. He was so incredibly helpful, friendly, and helped pick out an essential piece for me. He even helped find alternative ideas and totally captured what I wanted. Amazing experience thanks to Larson!

Not sure if the manager working there was having a bad day, but she came across as rude, condescending, and annoyed. I have had great experiences at this shop before, but I think I am done with it.
