Every time I leave the store I feel frustrated and crabby- which is a rarity for me. It is dirty, small and has many empty shelves. Hobby lobby on Ogden is so much better. I am a long time Michael’s customer so I come back once or twice a year in hopes it will be better-Only to be let down.

You can usually find a knowledgeable and friendly sales person for help. The custom framing team in the back is always helpful. They also have a nice selection of ready made frames even though they are a smaller Michaels store.Store always seems tidy and organized. Great place to go for seasonal decorations as well. Can not think of anything that they do not have-craft wise. Many many items and things to do in the kids section. Nice prices to start with and good sales. Great coupons but even better ones if you sign up for emails. Go and get your craft on!

I ordered some supplies yesterday for in-store pick up and was pleasantly surprised. The girl on the front desk (I wish I had caught her name) was so friendly and sweet. I asked for some sewing machines and whether or not they even carry any, and she kindly pointed me in their direction. Very knowledgeable staff and quick checkout too. The store is stacked nice and neat and tire able to find exactly what you’re looking for.

This was the farthest but Still didnt have different color box frames.. I needed walnut they only had BLACK. JUST WOULDNT DO.. WHAT I WAS DISPLAYING NEEDED SOFTER COLORS. LIKE WALNUT..O WELL I MUST RETURN TO THE FIRST STORE AND BUY THE LIGHTER COLOR EVEN THO IT IS NOT WHAT I WANT BUT IT IS CLOSIER TO THE WALNUT I WAS LOOKING FOR..

The staff in the store are very helpful and attentive. They offer help without asking. Also the on sale items are in good quality and new (i was looking at scrapbook paper pads). Usually, on sale items looks a bit old or damanged, but here, this is not an issue.The number choices of paper products and ribbons are really amazing.

What is there not to love 😍 they have so many things I want to purchase and the workers are friendly. I believe the only problem I noticed is there were 2 registers but only one light was on so we all thought only one this is not the first time this is the 3rd time.

The workers are super nice and friendly so customer service is great. The only problem I have is that obviously the next holiday coming up would mean that a lot of the things associated with it, would be in demand but the shelves shouldnt be completely empty. I was in the baking section and a lot of the section was empty. I went in the ribbon section and a lot of the cute red ribbon was gone(Valentines Day is coming up so the reds were scarce). So they need to make sure their shelves are always stocked. If not, customers will go somewhere else.

Staff are very friendly and happy to answer any questions I have. Some items they have a limited selection in and other times they have items I cant find at other craft stores. Just depends on if youre looking for something specific or not.

ZERO STARS. Do NOT buy a gift card here. Worst customer service experience Ive ever had. I bought a gift card for my niece at the store that didnt work. When I went back they told me gift card issues couldnt only be handled by calling in on their 800 number but then when I called in they said they couldnt help me either. I provided proof of purchase, gift card number, everything, but couldnt get a refund. Never going back.

Lauren and Elliot were a HUGE help on a busy Saturday.

I usually shop at the Bloomingdale location, but they havent had the white watercolor paint I need so I tried this location. Their watercolor section is TINY here, but I found what I needed! HUGE shout out to Kiana (I may have the spelling wrong). I never expected to find someone so well versed in the materials in paint/ink! I will be back to get her guidance in calligraphy supplies as well!

Unfortunately I cannot give this store a 5 star review due to the experience of using there bathroom. I came in on a Saturday so I understand they are very busy but no excuse not to be stocked on hand soap. Especially during the Pandemic. They did have hand sanitizer but no hand wash soap. The bathroom was not very clean either. Very disappointing. I had to walk down the plaza to Bed bath and Beyond to wash my hands properly. The sanitizer alone was not going to cut it for me.

Im an Artist, and as an Artist, I actually dont find everything that I need in this store. So, I figured out something, that it depends on how novice or expert you are. For beginners and kids, Michaels is good, but as an artist, any type of artist, youll find hobby lobby and maybe blicks are much better and will suit you more.

Minecraft have very good selectiojn the very best store for purchasing ((miscellaneous)) for art and craft, if i was a nerd and did art projects i would come here all the time but i am a cool guy and would rather play fortnite cuz im a gamer haha gamers are way cool no offense art nerds

My wife loves this place and would probably live here if we didnt have kids, for me though I have never had a bad experience even though I am allergic to crafting stores. Also the staff (Gaby and I forget the other ladys name) was great in helping me measure out a frame for my Joker poster. Also the 80% on custom framing is a crazy deal.

Fantastic prices on everything but custom frames. Out of their mind there, proper frame shops that have similar of slightly better prices that I would trust my prints with. This weeks visit left me unimpressed with the current staff. Cashier was super nice but nobody else really wanted to work. Picking up an online order seemed confusing for them. Third person got my order for me...so dont give up on them.

This is a newer Michaels and the store is clean and bright. The parking lot is huge and always has spaces. Things are easy to find and I can usually find an employee if I need one. Prices are very reasonable and they have a wide range of products for every craft you could think of.

This store has a great variety of items for all types of crafts. It carries books and magazines on everything from cooking to sewing. The staff is service oriented. They gave me a coupon on my first visit to the store. The stores prices are good and once you give them your e-mail address you will receive discount offers. Moreover, local papers contain weekly discount coupons.

I just went in there for candles on sale, they had some jar candles 3 for $9.99. I was looking around the store & they still have crafts & things for your particular hobby items. They have handicapped parking, employees walking around to see if you need help

Review №76

You can always find a coupon and there are supplies for every hobby and artistic endeavor.4/5 because this location is a little small and only caries the basics (or bare essentials) for fabric and thread based hobbies (knitting, sewing, needle point, etc) which happens to be what Im usually in the market for.

Absolutely ridiculous. Stuff pilled at 6 ft or higher. NO HELP EVEN WHEN YELLING HELP IN THE STORE. Customer could be laying in an aisle bleeding and no one would know. Not at all disable friendly. Too busy at corp to sell and little care for people. I really laughed with their designation as a great place to work because it isnt.

Lines super long, worse experience last week was in line it was 2 lines open one lady was doing a return and it was another girl who was ringing up a employee who looked like her shift was over....they took forever carrying on laughing she bought 4 candles and it literally took 10 mins. Then they argue with you about the coupons...I buy 2 items use a 40% off coupon yet they put it on the $1.99 item vs the $29.99 item. Never again will I shop inside this store ill stick with buy online pick up in store but then that was a joke as well they cancelled one of my orders saying they didnt have the item yet I came in store same day and found it! Nice staff but the young employees ruin it
