Bead selection of Japanese seed beads could be improved. The store is jam packed with product of various quality. The store clerk knows what is there and if you are looking for something special you will have to ask as the organization is somewhat haphazard. The clerk is friendly enough but is not one of those bead people who is in tune to what is going on in the bead world. New beads if available, will be months after other stores if ever. But the biggest drawback is almost no classes and no acceptable space for classes or groups to gather. Prices higher than average for the same item.
