The experience was fun and our guide was really kind! Overall I wasn’t too satisfied with my project because of the materials and the lack of knowledge of the stain, but this location was very kind and consistent with trying to fix the issues I had.
The darker stains take a few days to dry, which we weren’t informed of, and our clock project ended up staining our car and so many things in our house. This also happened with my other friends who had darker stained projects. There were fingerprints left on our projects from where the stain had lifted. I later learned that our projects were to be wrapped in plastic and should air dry at home, but we were immediately sent home with our projects unwrapped afterwards. There seemed to be miscommunication about the staining and take home process.
This is just general feedback overall about the company and not to this particular location, but I think materials for some of the projects are low-quality compared to the price of the overall project. I made a clock and paid an extra fee for it to work and for the hands. The hands are cheap and bent easily. The back is just a battery pack with no cover. For almost $100 I was surprised at how low-quality the materials were.
The management here was very nice when I reached out and offered to fix the things I was unhappy with. We ended up taking the project to a woodworking friend to fix the issues, but it was very kind of them to offer to fix it. Overall, I would return again, but not do one of the upgraded projects. I would stick with...
Read moreI URGE you to disregard the 1 Star reviews on here referencing the wild misunderstanding of a social media post involving a law enforcement craft. In an attempt to comply with their company’s copyright/trademark policies, they innocently covered and shared a craft made in support of law enforcement to ensure no one would be penalized. While some context probably should have been provided from the start in their post, there was no malice here. Some reacted ignorantly and emotionally, immediately engaging in cyber harassment when a simple conversation would have clarified this issue. Everyone makes mistakes, and the classy staff at Board and Brush issued an apology for the misunderstanding. We need to be gentler with one another, and give each other the benefit of the doubt.
That being said, this place is a great way to come together, get crafty, and sip on something yummy. It’s run by an all inclusive group of really good folks with well meaning hearts. Head in there to create a really fun project, and be proud that you made it from just a...
Read moreWe recently went to a private Board & Brush event with a group of powerhouse woman realtors and had a blast! Our team is not the craftiest bunch (well Jamie is pretty crafty but Megan & Cait, not so much) so we weren't sure what to expect but we picked out our projects beforehand and everything was ready when we got there. The staff was great at explaining the steps and let you go at your own pace and get as fun and creative with the different materials as you wanted to. Everyone's designs turned out great and a lot of fun was had in the meantime. Bonus is that you can bring your own food and beverages in and the two realtors who organized the event had a delicious spread. This is a great idea for a night out, team building, a birthday party, or if you are just looking for something different. There are so many options to pick from and surely something for everyone!
