From the reviews

Went to check out the Lab on a Friday evening to basically test drive some systems boards while researching a home wall purchase. The owner Michael was incredibly hospitable, and I could feel the moment I walked in the door how much of a passion project this is for him.

The place is everything Boulder needed! The space is very well taken care of and the vibes are great. Its also really cool to have Kevin from the Climb Clinic in the gym now too!
