"The retail side is adequate, but would advise steering clear of their framing. I brought a frame in late July and only just got the frame back in late February. My framing order was a somewhat complicated framing order of a family heirloom, but the two gals that were taking my order had been there for a combined 10+ years and seemed more than capable, so I wasn't concerned. Then began the ghosting/telephone tag waiting game. Apparently, both employees left, leaving the frame shop in the hands of a less experienced framer. Instead of contacting me and letting me know outright that the replacement didn't have the tools/skills needed to complete the job, the frame shop just outright ignored my project, leaving me to have to call multiple times and follow up. One of the times they just outright lied that they were just waiting for a part that was on order, come to later find out that it was a part that just needed to be picked up from a hardware store. It took 7 months, 5 phone calls, and 2 follow-up in-person visits to finally get my piece, and by then, so much time had lapsed that the final product wasn't even really what I had described in the first place. The manager did refund the labor which is why their raring isn't lower, but I'd strongly recommend paying the extra money to go to a dedicated frame shop of someone who has experience."

"I came to Michaels looking for cross stitching magazines. I know that Michaels is pretty big in crafting. There were no magazines on cross stitching. I looked into cross stitching threads and there were just a few. Michaels has changed. I'm hoping to find a craft store that has lots of magazines on cross stitching and the materials you need for cross stitching."

"Great place to bring an artistic child. There are plenty of options for them to be creative. I'm not sure when they added the self check out, but it works well, and it didn't take long to check out."

"Always a great place for art supplies. I love the coupons you get, and they really help bring them to a competitive pricing, even with Amazon, but regular prices are pretty high. Keep that in mind when you come in for a larger purchase."

"GF loves this store. Not only do they have all the trinkets and baubles her crafts require but the employees are knowlegable and nerdy enough to know exactly what she is talking about. I could lose her for hours in this store."
