Michael’s

I am not the usual suspect that one would find in a Michaels, but like Home Depot they have a lot of tools for getting things done, and some more you wouldn’t even think about.
Basic idea is that Michael’s is a craft store, but they definitely offer a bunch more. One their employees are very pleasant and helpful. Two they have candy! all types old and new. Three there are so many different resources for projects that like Home Depot I find myself looking and touching everything.
I would say check it out if you need to create anything, they probably have the tools you need and the staff to help guide you where you need to go to accomplish said project.
Also they often have deals and coupons which is always nice. :)
Range of items for sale Art supplies, containers, party items, yarn, and CANDY.
Check them out.

This location is amazing– not only do they have a huge selection, the staff is always super helpful and nice.
I have been working with one particular yarn in one particular color and this store seems to be the only one that has it! i’m not sure why but no other michaels or craft stores have it and i can’t find it online. I went in one day and a sales associate helped me get the yarn that wasn’t out on the shelves yet. When I went to check out, the lady at the register let me look up a coupon on my phone! The service cannot be beat– I love this place and will keep coming back!

One of the best store and amazing people are working here! I keep coming back all the time! Employees are so nice. You don’t spend your time waiting in line because they work so fast.

I love Michaels!!! If you have a creative spirit then this is the place for you!!! To me they own DIY projects — there’s so many materials and products there that you simply want to buy everything and spend the rest of your days making simple to tedious projects. This place came in handy especially around my wedding — we ran through many different Michaels stores looking for supplies for our wedding favors, our centerpieces, welcome bags, and different odds and ends. Our centerpieces had us in and out this store for about a year given they only hold a certain amount of different items in stock at a time but it was worth it!!! Our centerpieces were beautiful and really stood out on the table.
I was last there two weeks ago to pick up a portrait. We had our wedding portrait framed and they did an amazing job of course!!! They’re framing department isn’t big but it meets the demand of the store and the area plus the workers there are extremely helpful. The line in the store is usually a bit long some days but the wait isn’t too bad because they usually have four or five people working the registers. But most of all Michaels also has great sales and coupons both in their circular and online which really brings the cost down if you’re going to go crazy shopping there.
This store could easily get my paycheck… but it’s starting to make more sense why my husband steadily keeps me away…

5 stars specifically for Anna in framing for her artistry and commitment to customer service. This gal is why I keep coming back for all my custom framing needs… and when they run deals for 70% off, why would I go anywhere else?
Thanks, Anna!

Michaels is a heaven for those who love crafting. I come here at least once a week I am so happy I love not too far. But this store totally worths traveling for. Also they have coupons almost every day available on their website or if you sign for mailing list they will send you coupons through email weekly.

Staff here is kinda miserable, and the lines suffer as a result. Bathroom doors are inexplicably locked despite being multi-​person. Selection and organization were the best part of the experience at this huge spot.

Great location, huge selection, and prices are always affordable. If you like anything crafty this store will suck you in and you will leave with at least three new hobbies. My latest is crochet. Make sure to check online for coupons bc they always have some!
Also, the framing department was very sweet and helpful. Not only did they help me choose the best frames in my price range but they also made me feel so wonderful about my art work. Love love this store.
The line gets fairly long during busy hours

Huge store. It’s a downstairs store. Where I sat and waited for my daughter to shop I could hear the trains running above.
I was sitting in the frame department. No one bothered me. She got some great deals for her arts and crafts projects. She had 20% off coupons and some items were already 40% off. She made out like a bandit! Good place to shop!

A genuine craft store. I love walking around Michael’s. Conveniently located next to Harmon Face Values, after shopping there I take the escalator down.
When you enter into this store, it feels like you stepped into a different world. It is a fun store.
You can buy different craft items for DIY projects for around the home or create gifts for your relatives.
This store is huge. Michael’s sells decorative crafts, children’s books, jewelry, garden décor, and yarn. It’s like a crafter’s paradise.
This location is perfect for those on the go. Located in the heart of Chelsea, you can get your shopping done quickly with other stores such as Trader Joe’s close by.
Take the F or M trains to 23^rd street.

Such a fun store– OMG I could have been int here forever, and definitely bought more than I planned… The store is clean and organized, separated sensibly and I found just what I needed and more ;)
The checkout lady, Tierra was so sweet, she helped me use a 40% off coupon she had on her phone which even meant her taking the time to scan & have me pay for each item individually. She was patient, had a great attitude, and was happy to help. What a treat!
Great experience overall. i will be back (and it is right near the F/​M train) that you can go to during lunch from midtown! ;)

WOW, this place is enormous! If your familiar with Michael’s and you are a DIYer than you know how lucky you’re close to this location. They have an extensive inventory, large framing center, class room and impressive checkout area for expedient visits. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I felt like they stocked sub par quality items for certain departments, e.g. the large frame section predominately had flimsy frames with plastic instead of glass.

Michael’s is one of my favorite stores in the world, but all bias aside I found my experience yesterday to be exceptionally pleasant. I’m making a project for a friend and I was asking the associate (Amanda) for advice. There was a Christmas box that I really wanted, but I wasn’t feeling the Christmas theme. She suggested I paint it and gave me direction on what supplies to use. I never would have thought of that. She had a lot of knowledge. I was explaining my vision and I got emotional. Now generally, this would be awkward, but she gave me a hug and was a mini counselor for me. I’m so happy and satisfied with all my purchases.
When I checked out, the cashier found me a coupon for 40% off. Companies get mad when associates do that but you know what? That’s more of an incentive to come back and spend money on top of the brand loyalty I already have.
I must have spoken to 6 associates there and they all have exemplary customer service. They all, especially Amanda went above and beyond and I appreciate that so much.
Kudos to this location!

Super friendly staff. They have every craft item you could ever need. They only had the option to buy 50 pr 100 tea light candles and when I mentioned that to the woman who was ringing me up she gave me a coupon to a few dollars off. I like this store.

There is no other craft store in the city (aside from their other location) that encompasses everything you would ever need for a craft day. From bows to ribbon, boas to glue guns, they have it all! Michael’s is everything.

Great selection, stay true to Michaels pricing even though this one is in NYC. Staff doesn’t really know much about the store so it’s more of a shop on your own experience. Took me longer to get everything, but it was manageable. They also have great coupons if you sign up through email, definitely recommend that. Best place to buy frames in town!

I did find what I was looking for at this place. Very convenient and good price. I’ll definitely go back to this place again.

I cannot believe that I missed their opening. They’ve been around since JULY of last year. After going to my usual places for supplies, I just about gave up hope when I saw Michael’s appear in my Unilocal search results.
This was the place to locate everything I needed for creating a chalkboard cake banner — they had custom wooden plates, the chalkboard paint, chalk and so so so much more. I’m pretty sure I spent a good hour walking down each and every aisle. JUST because.
The cashier was so nice. I gushed about how happy I was to be there, and she signed me up for their email program and gave me an on the spot discount. Saved some $ as a result of it!
Next up: Picking up some yarn. This place is a crafter’s dream come true, and you don’t have to live in the suburbs to get there!

Lines can be kind of long, but it went fast because they had a lot of open registers/​cashiers, and they were working efficiently.
I went at the end of May, and they didn’t have a lot of Wedding supplies. Lots of things were out of stock. Ultimately, I found the place cards I needed, for a good price (a BOGO), but I wish they had the nicer options available.
the girl checking out my items was nice. When I asked about the BOGO, she smiled and said it came off, and pointed it out. Was totally friendly.
Big store. Leisure browsing since it wasn’t packed. Didn’t see a lot of staff around the store other than the registers and some woman by the escalators trying to sell or promote something. I ignored her so I can’t be too sure what it was for.

Love arts & crafts stores. This Michael’s is well-​stocked, neat, and big! I was able to find some royal blue gildan t-​shirts in multiple sizes here. It was out of stock at the other Michael’s stores.
The checkout line was longer than I’m used to at the other arts & crafts stores in Queens, but it did move quickly. They had at least three cashiers on the weeknight that I went.
