“The store manager Chris at Michaels in Monona, WI delivered the best customer service I have ever experienced . From start to finish, he went truly above and beyond on my oversized framing project for a client. Chris handled it with total confidence and care.
Every interaction came with a genuine smile, attention to detail and a personality that made the whole process enjoyable and stress free. You set the bar high.
This will keep me coming back to the Monona location. Michael's is lucky to have him.”
“Friendly and helpful staff. The staff also gives honest and fair appraisals for cards. No pressure to sell or trade. Customers enjoy the atmosphere and in-store competitions. I highly recommend this store.”
“I love visiting this gemmy sparkly shop. The store offers a diverse selection of rocks, minerals, fossils, gemstones, and other geological treasures, making it a haven for collectors, jewelers, and curious minds. The staff at Bernie's Rock Shop are passionate about geology and are eager to assist customers in finding or crafting the perfect piece for their collections, or as thoughtful gifts and also jewelry repairs.Thank you!”
“They have some of the most hardest to find stuff in niche hobbies. Extremely professional. Almost everything that you can think of that is outdated, old or there’s no way it exists anymore. They keep an eye out and even if they don’t have it in stock, they put on their website that they’re looking for it or that they’ve had it in the past like super obscure games like Space Hulk version 1. Or other old games you feel you are the only person in the world who knows about it. Definitely take a look. Almost made this a four star review because of how expensive everything is but when it’s the only place in the entire country, I can get the hard to find stuff I need I guess that justifies five stars. Please continue to grow and open new locations.
UPDATE: The only bad reviews I see for this place are people who are completely unreasonable in wanting to either screw over the business or don’t understand how trade-in value works LMFAO. If the only people who complain are either intentionally lying or just ignorant, you know this is a good place.”
“Very gigantic. Not sure how it compares to other hobby lobby's because the shelves basically had the same stuff and a similar amount of aisles but more content in the middle? Very fun, I bought beads, paint, and these tiny glass jars. I think the glass jar aisle wasn't at the hobby lobby I'm usually at.”
“I love it! I turned in my Lego star wars minifigures for some awesome sets that were discontinued recently! I wouldn't suggest going here for buying new sets, but they will gladly take any Lego sets you have!!! Nice staff, and they have a massive table for buying bulk pieces! 6/5!”
“Great local company to do business with in Madison, WI. I have been using Gallagher Tent & Awning for over 35 years for my properties. Great customer service and professionalism.”
“Jason is the man, super knowledgeable and great teacher.
If you Warhammer or interested in starting, don’t go to the other game stores, they don’t know shit.
Come here.”
“Great place to find just about anything you may be looking for. And if not they can usually point you in the right direction. Have brought from them 3 or 4 times, will definitely do business with again in the future...”
“Good store with cool staff. At least for me, a not super competitive mtg player who doesn’t care about collecting big flashy cards.
Giving 4 stars because the new website makes doing in store pickups for card orders a pain compared to the old one.”
“This place has all sorts of different coins, money, and currencies from around the world! I went there around two weeks ago and got a stack of iraq money. 1500 iraqi dinars!”

“I love Michaels, bc I love arts and crafts. Recently, since Michaels acquired Jo-Anne fabrics merchandise they have a few aisles dedicated to sewing, and fabric products. I assumed that in making room for its new department, somewhere else would pay for the real estate list to this change, but I couldn't tell that it had anywhere. They have a few new brands of products that I like a lot more than the previous supplier. The name is MAKE. I love the wooden shapes for arting up however you please my this new line. Get creative, Michaels will help!”
“I love hobby lobby! The workers are always super kind and always wanting to help! You can also find some really cool items, like this table. I'm obsessed with it, its my new favorite item! They also always have some type of sale going on so keep an eye out for those! I went to get a lamp and didnt know it was on sale 50% off, that was an awesome surprise! So you'll never know what you will find, and you'll never be disappointed!!”
