I’m so frustrated with the lack of help from staff in this store. Tonight was the 3rd trip in which I tried to pick up Daniel Smith watercolor. Each time I ask an employee for help to open the locked case so that I can complete my purchase, I go back to the aisle as directed by the employee and wait... and wait... and wait... and they never come. I leave angry and empty handed. Michaels really needs to put these behind the counter at checkout. Until then I’ll just drive to Blick or order online. I’m so done with this store.

This is by far and always has been my favorite craft store. Some items might trend in being higher price. However I think that Michaels has a better selection. Their store is also mapped out to locate products easily. The store is always clean and filled with happy associates. The store is always so beautiful around the holidays. The store always has that good smell of creation.

Nice well organized store. Went there to get some stuff for my daughters baby shower and then was going to head over to Hobby Lobby to finish. Well didnt need the second trip because they had all I needed and then some. Prices are reasonable people are friendly.

First things first if you frequent this place make sure you sign up for their free rewards program since it is pricey and the 40-60% off coupons are a blessing. Michaels has a nice variety of crafting supplies except fabric. Its my go to place for bigger rolls of craft foam.

Looooooooooove Michaels!!

Review №26

Over the years I have spent a bundle in Michaels. It is unfortunate that they have changed their pricing structure. Be aware that doubling the price and then offering a coupon is not a true savings.

Gu
Review №27

My most favorite store ever. Sign up for their coupons. Soooo worth it. You get about 3-4 a week. &theres always things discounted & clearances.

Had exactly what I needed for photo framing with helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Ci

Clerk wasnt too helpful, and the cashier was rude...at least the price of my appliances were relatively cheaper than usual. Shopping online is just a better option.

I returned to Michaels with a framed piece of art that had been in a fire. It had been exposed to a lot of smoke, water and flames. It wasn’t in great shape but was intact. The back had holes and fire marks and I asked if they could put a new back on it for me. They said they would take care of it and there would be no charge. When I returned to pick it up, they had taken it apart, aired it out for a few weeks, cleaned it all and put it back together with new backing materials and made it as good as it was before. The frame has wear and tear from the fire but otherwise It looks as good as the day I had it done. There was NO CHARGE for the work done. I was so very impressed. I will be returning here for all of my framing needs. Thank you very much!

Jackie in custom framing is awesome! So please with the help and guidance she provided to get a canvas re-stretched and framed. We must have looked at 50 combinations of frames, and her artistic eye helped us find the best option. She was also helpful about using a nice coupon. Highly recommend their service!

I didnt go to Michaels today although I had planned to do so. I have found a lot of fun treasures on sale, such as: watches for $7 or 2 for $10. What I planned to buy is always in the back. I believe Michaels has great merchandising layout because for me, I spend more time and buy more than I planned before I leave my car.

Michaels is having a great sale on art supplies. The store is laid out well. Store staff are helpful and polite

Store seemed cluttered, un-organized. Lots of customers but staff was busy stocking shelves & pulling Summer merchandise getting Autumn ready. Very difficult to shop, very few clerks to help find items.

Another great place for crafts cake pans and icing plus paints. Much more. I like to go here.

They are the best craft store ever the staf is amazing. No I am not locked in the back room in a supply cabinet. Pay these people all the monies.

Jo
Review №45

Very helpful employees and the store is played out very well prices are a little high but quality over quantity is the best policy I say. Also parking is easy to work with.

De
Review №46

Definitely not a place to go window shopping. You will spend money! If youre a crafter, this is paradise. And doesnt stand for ridiculous stances like its competitor HL.

Review №47

Always great customer service. This store is really clean, well maintained, stocked and smells nice. I love all the variety of crafting goods. Employees are eager to help. Excellent store. Will be coming back.

Review №48

I really love this store. But for some reason I Always feel like Im being followed around. My daughter was with me on our last visit & it made her really uncomfortable. Especially when youre doing nothing wrong. We simply decided to put our cart away and go across the street to Hobby Lobby. If youre going to follow me around the store and treat me like a shoplifter I will not be back and I will not spend my money there and will not recommend your place of business its the worst feeling ever when you go into a business to have a good time and look at crafts with your children and every corner you turn theres a staff member from the store there kind of funny when you need help though no ones around. Weve just decided to no longer shop here.

I wanted a Christmas tree that was sold out. The manager promised me the display tree if they dont get another shipment, and put my name on it to protect it from an inadvertent sale to someone else. I am very impressed with that kind of service.

Get on the Michaels website and get a coupon. No need to print it out, they scan it right off of you phone. Boom. Money saved. Thanks Michaels for that awesomeness.

Seems to begin leaning to the Dollar store model...plastic knickknacks, etc. You have to hunt for genuine materials which I find exhausting. Maybe Im losing my sense of humor.

I shop here like once a year so I really dont have much to say. It does have some unique items for people that are into hobbies but I only shop here if my kids need something and I cant find it somewhere else. Theyre kind of expensive for me.

Review №71

Classes should be fun, but the sign up process and the instructors are ridiculous. An open house should mean that you have people to help with registration. 50% off all classes, should mean ALL classes unless specified. You work at a craft store, you should know that crayola washable markers do not dry on plastic bags.

Lots of great things for crafts and activities. If youre looking to find an afternoon project for the kids, or feeling artsy yourself, Michaels will have something for you. They keep things tidy, and although this place is packed with items, its well organized and the staff usually can point you in the right direction. Check for coupons before you go, or on your phone. Ive found Google will show you the sale paper for the store if you have your location enabled.
