I love michaels. Not only do they always have everything I need, but unlike other stores, they arent mask Nazis and couldnt care less if you wear one or not, which I feel should be a personal choice!!

Michaels always has a pretty decent selection of everythinggg for your basic crafting needs; they have great kits for younger kids and you can always find a coupon for around half off... Much better than Jo anns; Michaels sells fabric online FYI.

I love shopping their sales, and finding certain floral I cant find any where else! My only issue is with their price matching!! They have way to many restrictions about what the other ad says it has to be the exact yarn brand, colorway, size, and now really what ad has all that listed???? Well, Michaels not even your ad has all that information listed!!!

Its Michaels- what is there not to love? The store is organized and clean. It has absolutely all of your crafting needs! If you are looking for certain crystals you wont find many here, besides rose quartz and a couple others. The staff is kind and courteous. Plus the 40% discounts are always amazing!

This store was very full and hard to get around all the stuff in the aisles. Had a hard time finding where to go to get to the register. Many boxes just all over the floors. Gave it four stars just because they do have alot of product.

Great place for hobby and supplies. Can be a little overpriced but if you sign up for their rewards there are always fantastic coupons.

Words cannot describe my love for Michaels. Everytime I need something, anything, Michaels has been there for me. I go often, I drag my boyfriend there and he and j will spend an ENTIRE AFTERNOON at Michaels. You want yarn? Have 100000 options for yarn. You want flowers? Have 10000 different types of the same daisy. You want a slab of wood with some eat pray love saying on it? THEY HAVE IT. Peep the rewards, friends. Treat yourself at Michaels.

I have been in love with this store for awhile now. I gladly drive the 3 hours to come here just for the various things I can get here, but if that isnt enough for most people then you should check out the customer service representatives in this store! Wonderful if I could give more I would!

Michaels is a great crafting store. I get all of my yarn here. Some items can be pretty pricy and the checkout center usually doesnt have enough staff.

If you need print making or leather working supplies go to Hobby Lobby. Otherwise their stock of craft and art supplies is great. Usually hard to find someone if you have a question though.

Great sevice by most employees but Manger has a bad attitude not friendly in the Oswego.Il store. Sham on her not a good example for her employee. Plus I hate that they are open on THANKSGIVING greedy this is for the family. Wish everyone would start protesting all store that are open on any Holiday.

Update: once again (in less than a year) they tell me a coupon policy is different than before. In the past I’ve been able to use one Michaels’ coupon AND one Joann’s coupon as long as they were for different amounts off. Today I was told (very rudely) by a manager (Shannon) and that only one percentage off a regularly priced item can be use per person. This is different that a different amount of percent. She rolled her eyes at me and said that I’ve been misunderstanding it, it hasn’t changed. In fact, this is different than what I’ve done for the last few months, so it is a change. (Or her employees haven’t understood it.). Regardless, she was rude AND Joann’s will accept both coupons at once - so they’ll get my business from now on. Besides, Joann’s selection is superior in most departments!September 2017:While I spend a pretty penny here on different crafting supplies, I was extremely disappointed when I tried to use the Labor Day 50% off coupon today on something that was NOT on sale and they told me that this item was no longer available for coupons because its price is now considered an everyday value price. That stinks. Shame on you Michaels. Ill do my best to utilize Joanns coupons strategically from now on to avoid this policy.

Kind of a hit or miss for staff helpfulness. Theyre either all over you or you cant find anyone. Huge selection though, its always my first place to check for crafting supplies and they always have some sort of coupon out. Super clean too, kudos to cleanliness and everything being in its rightful place

I signed up for a crochet class with 3 other people and the instructor was a no show. I was reimbursed for the class, but I lost 2 hours out of my evening wasting my time to go there. The craft room was also covered in glitter, so if youre looking to go home glitter free, you may want to skip out, it doesnt look like they vacuum or clean room very often. Luckily I found another class with a local business.

Had a frustrating experience checking out at this location today. A new employee was on register, but clearly did not know how to ring up or take payment, and had no one helping her learn. My order was $12 over what it was supposed to be when totaled, so I requested to start over and offered to help Sofia count the items. When she was asking how to void the transaction, the girl supposedly training/ mentoring her, Sara, did not offer to come over to help. I told her it should be started over and she asked another employee to help, pointedly stating I wanted it completely started over. The additional employee was very kind and gave the new employee tips on scanning. Once the items were all scanned, she went back to her work. Sofia then was unsure how to take a check, scan a check, or enter a total for a check. She asked the girl next to her and she did not offer to come show her. At this point I asked who was supposed to be helping her and Sara responded rudely, I am but I have not had a chance to do so yet because I have customers. (It was 10:30 am on a Wednesday... not very busy at all). The whole transaction took almost 30 minutes to ring up. I told Sofia to stand up for herself in training- it is not her fault that she is new and unfamiliar with a new system! Very poor training and management!

Everything a crafter or artist needs. Good coupons and order online and pick-up in store. Only drawback is the occasional long line at checkout.

Recently took a celebrity signed poster in to get framed. John handled my poster and wow, not only was he absolutely beyond professional and fantastic to work with. But the final product looks incredible, if you ever need anything framed you should have absolutely no worries about taking it here. John did a phenomenal job and I will continue to ask for him if he is available. 5/5

Had a frustrating experience when we came to this store. There was a sign that said ALL shadow boxes were 70%, there was 4 of us that saw this sign so there was no way the 4 of us imagined a sign there. The cashier asked someone on the floor to double check and they gave us the excuse that it was “certain brands” only. When we went back to check, the sign magically disappeared. They realized it wasn’t ringing up with the sale so they took the sign off and didn’t honor their mismarking. You’re welcome Michaels from saving you from a customer that would have fight back rudely about honoring the sign that was surely there before you took it off. The manager was also very rude when she was asked by cashier what she should do about this. Quite disappointing that members that have worked here years still pick and choose who they honor prices for.

Great place for crafts. Even though I rarely find what Im looking for here, I always find other things I forgot about. I really wished they had NFC payment options, as I sometimes dont carry a wallet, but thats no deal breaker.

Ive had two presents for over a year that are still in perfect condition. I have lost the receipts, however. I called Michaels in Oswego and they told me all they needed to do is swipe my credit card and they could find my receipt. I would get every penny I paid for them! Awesome job, Michaels. I am now a lifelong customer.
