Awesome as always. Probably why the place was packed. A very long line for check out but moved right along. Also some really good mark downs. Oh one thing theres a small charge for bags. 20 cents and dont forget your email addressExtra savings

Long line at 8 pm, store understaffed and couple workers that they have are very slow. I came here to fulfill Dashdoor order and lost 15 min. for nothing

Meh, it is a very bright uncomfortable environment. Of course they have many of the items any artists would require but the experience of the place definitely does not express any sort of creativity and it comes off blank and austere like a very large bathroom with art supplies. Well the truth is it wasnt particularly clean so in that way unlike a bathroom. I would actually rather pay more and go to a place with a nice environment then go to what is essentially the Walmart of art.

#1st time/ last time!Very disappointed,first time shopping here and asked an Asian employee for an item pertaining to a cake. He simply said he didnt know If they had the item and that no other employee was going to know if the item was there or not. So thanks.

I hope Michaels takes a lot of ideas from AC Moore. Have not been happy with floral items here or other things that AC Moore did the best. There are some things that was ok but didnt want to go that far to get simple things.

Fall decor on sale!

This is a fairly small Michaels with limited selection. I went before Thanksgiving for some fall decor and they had absolutely nothing, not even in clearance. Everything was already turned over to Christmas.. a little disappointing.

Michaels are weird stores. As crafting/art stores theyre expensive and their products are lower-end. But they also have these oddly compelling dollar-store selections of candy, toys, housewares, and vaguely seasonal junk. This was is crowded and the lines for the register are long. If it werent 5 minutes from our house wed never go. Check out the Lakeshore Learning across the street.

Well organized store. You can fine almost everything crafted related. A very small variety of fabric, which was disappointing. Store equipped with bathroom and changing table!

I love this store so much. It’s fairly well stocked and they have great sales. Sometimes it is a bit hectic and often there is a wait to check out but they usually have what I need.

Really good staff, and very helpful. Good selection of supplies, got everything I needed for scrapbooking. Love the 40% off coupon you can find online.

Just love to shop at this store I buy my yarn there and it is cheap

Review №25

I went to get flosses for cross stitch. They didn’t have many of the colors and none of the new additions to the DMC collection of colors. The cashiers were nice though, and they answered the questions I had. It’s a pity that Michaels is not trying to add the new items to their stores

Great art selection, but it is a little pricey. Good thing there are usually a lot of deals and coupons. Check online for coupons because they usually have 40 or 50 percent off deals.

Still cant believe what I heard. Sorry some time and found a couple of the items I was looking for. Went to check-out and only two registers open with at least three more closed and five or six employees milling around. I asked one of I could pay at the upstairs register and was told simply no. I remarked at the long winding line with two registers in use, that reply was nothing we can do. Well be this busy right through January, why,are you going to leave? I politely said I was seriously considering it and hey response was ok rather than oh if you could wait another minute Ill see if maybe we can open another register and move the line along. There was a larger ratio of people waiting in line than actually looking at items in the aisles than Ive seen anywhere. Reminiscent of the old Shoppers World Mall in Framingham as they were going out of business.

Lots of interesting stuff but what is really terrific is the staff - ask them for the tiniest thing and they tell you right where to look, or even walk you there!!!!! Genius!!!!!

Had 2 pictures framed. When dropping off, had to wait 45 minutes to get waited on. 3 weeks later, when picking up the 2 pictures, one was done COMPLETELY wrong. Now I have to go back after they fix it. I have been a good customer and had many things framed there. Rethinking that going forward.

An amazing place to shop. Hard to stick to my list with so many bargains and online coupons..

Review №43

This Michaels seems a bit bare internally, compared to most visited. It is waxed floors, metal shelves and some organization by aerial signs. A Split level shop, with the art supplies located on the upper floor, including the framing department. It can be a dicey left turn out of the frontage road, so exiting at the wrong time of day is tedious. Small catch all shop for home style art projects. The paint department is hit or miss for supplies.

Review №44

Very friendly staff at this medium size arts and crafts shop. This is definitely a more pleasant experience than some of their larger stores, though they dont always have as many things in stock.

Jo
Review №45

Remember the coupons and forget your worries, pretend it is the 80s or 90s again then you get to checkout and the candy and fidget spinners remind you youre post melenium and it all comes crashing down!Highly recommend, its like an emotional rollercoaster where at the end you step off with art supplies ️️

Review №46

The staff here is friendly and they have a good selection. Ive had a piece of art framed by them and it turned out great. The woman at the framing counter was very helpful, though really only after I told her I was interested in custom framing. I started by asking about the standard frames for a different piece of art and she wasnt quite as friendly even though there werent any other customers. Still, they do a great job for a very reasonable price.

Only place around that has all the specialty craft supplies. Broad photo frame selection. Took away star because prices can be high if youre not using their coupons or items not on sale that week.

Review №59

Ok I feel bad giving a three but it tries to be everybody’s craft store and and up being mediocre. Went there recently for some heavy duty craft paper and there was Martha Stewart and a few generics. Not much above 176 g/sm.

Fun shop for seasonal decorations, or arts and craft stuff

Review №66

Great spot for craft and DIY supplies. They could use a bit more signage in their aisle descriptions, as I found myself searching for nearly 30 minutes finding a list of four things. Staff could be more customer-focused, both on the floor and at the registers.

Review №67

They didnt have what I was looking for exactly, but the staff was very helpful. In fact I observed one staff member help multiple children with ideas for their school projects, it was very sweet and they were great ideas. Also, great deals on seasonal decorations!

Review №72

Very rude, unprofessional and unhelpful staff. The Michaels on Needham St. yesterday. We found a watch which was on the discount section and 5 $. At the Cashier I reminded that but with no explanation, apology or anything really I was coldly told that it was 10$. I mean 5, 10 $ is not to worry about but misplacing an item, misleading people to make them choose things and then not explaining and apolozing is simplt unprofessional. Michaels is going down so fast like Toys R US and Gymboree among others and they do not care.

Al
Review №73

Honestly, its always full of customers but there are never enough knowledgeable staff members to help you. If you know exactly what you want and where it is, youll be fine. If you need help, this may not be the place for you. Too understaffed (friendly, but not enough of them)

There is a lot to see and very useful craft and art making gadgets and material there. However their gardening stuff is very basic. And in general it is a bit pricy.

So many things to choose from. I thought I was going to overload from having so many choices when looking for a hobby. Only wish there were more unpolished river stone options for rock painting and they need bigger signs for their many many aisles. Too easy to get lost.

It was my first time being at a Michaels in a decade so it was kind of overwhelming with sheer amount of things to look at! Its really big with several aisles chock full of goods. Only thing was, there were a few art things that were more expensive than Blick.
