The best prop shop in the central US, by far. If you want it, Zap has it.

We used Zap props for our wedding reception. Our theme was “Time Travel” and we wanted the kitchen to look like a 1950s diner. Zap props helped us out. They were easy to work with and affordable. We had to pick up our own props but when we arrived they helped us load the larger items and unload them when we got back. Overall it was seem less. I would highly recommend the for any event prop rentals.

My son rented a classroom full of desks and chairs for a film project. Zap was easy to work with and very helpful in loading the props into my trailer. They took the time to wipe down all of the props before loading them. Friendly group of people.
