“Mike was so welcoming. As first timers, my boyfriend and I were a little apprehensive on how to begin our journey in Warhammer. Mike explained paint types and techniques to get us through our paint & take session. Great store!”

“I called looking for Yupo Translucent Paper on 11 x 15. They didn't have that size but a smaller alternative and put it aside for me to pick up. Once I arrived, I quickly received the paper that we discussed.

However, I asked about other translucent options. The staff that helped me was delightful. They listened to my needs and offered several alternatives. In the end, I purchased a different medium that better suited my needs.

As I said, the staff catered to my requests. The store was clean and provided a multitude of options.”

“Walked in today to look for soccer cards with my 10yr old son who wants to start collecting them. Multiple employees were busy when we walked in but we stood around and waited for them to finish. My son decided what box he wanted. The workers then went on to help people who came in after us. One employee walked right past us to help someone who must be a regular customer. Then another employee was walking around picking boxes off the shelf and bringing them in back. We decided to find a place that has better customer service.

Update. Gave it another chance much better service and got what we needed fast.”

“I would like share my experience today with an exceptional employee at this location. Pedro is his name and works in the framing department. He spent so much time with me trying to get my photos from my phone to a canvice picture. Unfortunately it was not going to work in the size I wanted. I'm still going to work on other options he suggested. Great customer serve. Hopefully I can work with Pedro again.”

“Please, for the love of God, place your orders at this store. Drive the extra miles to avoid the Kildeer store. Nothing has ever been more worth it.

The Kildeer store is where joy, hope, and any semblance of an even semi-well run business go to die. I regret it more than marrying my ex-husband.

Inventory online is so wildly off-base it feels like an attempt to rage-bait customers. The employees are furious you've dared to enter the store and ask benign questions, like whether they can honor an online price (the managers of many stores will, recognizing putting in a pickup order and making them put it together takes more employee effort and is less economically efficient).

If I'm a bad person in this life, when I die, I will go to the Kildeer Michael's. It is eternal damnation.

The Schaumburg Michael's on Golf Road is INCREDIBLE. The employees are happy to help and will even make suggestions for additional items, which always end up making my projects better and making the store more money. When I place orders for pickup- miracle of miracles!- the order is actually available and hassle-free.

If I'm a good person, and don't take out my rage by complaining endlessly about how the Kildeer shop is the 7th circle of Dante's hell, I will go to the Schaumburg Michael's location when I die.”

“Cool little spot. Took my 6 year old boy for 30 minutes and he loved it. They charge $5/15 minutes of racing and have better deals if you own your own car. Staff was friendly, helpful, and didn’t mind answering all my weird questions on the hobby.”

“Always helped me find what I'm looking for. (If in stock). Glad i found this place. Especially when grieving, My best friend took me there earlier in the week, days before my grandma's funeral. I'll enjoy it while I can. Sadly the mall is going to close the store without notice at any given moment
I live out of town so I try to go here while visiting my grandpa.”

“Very clean! I have been here a few times in the last week for a project and although stock choices for certain things seemed minimal - I'm assuming due to the sales they were running - I was able to find almost everything I needed.”
