Michaels

Okay. I had reservations about going Micheal’s for framing. The store often seems disorganized and it’s hard to find one on one help. but the framing department is the EXACT opposite. Their staff was so helpful and very diverse. They really take their time with you to help select the right mats, frame color and design and made good suggestions for your budget.

Nice store! Every few months my mom will take us here and we’ll get craft supplies. The checkout employees are always ready to help. There is a whole aisle of stickers (my favorite part!!!). There is a huge selection of beads. This is my favorite craft store!

I had not been out to this location and it seems far smaller and less stocked than other Michaels stores. Like most though the customer service is either great or tragic. you will find one amazing person and then the next is, well, horrific. So… don’t expect decent customer service or help… use coupons and buy things on sale.

The parking lot is strange. Or maybe the store is strange. This Michaels is located in a little town center, and this location is in the corner — pushed backed a bit from everything else. Not a big deal. I think I’m just complaining, because when I went… it was raining. Anyway, I had a coupon for 25% off my purchase. SO excited to use! It started at 4:00pm, and I got there at 3:30 to shop, and then, get in line in perfect time. The Christmas stuff was already discounted, and this was before Christmas. Some of the picture frames were buy one, get one free or buy one, get one 50% off. It was great, because that’s exactly what I went for! A 3.5“x5″ picture frame! I ended up buying much more. My basket ended up with coloring books, candles, baking pans, and everything else under the sun. They had tons of staffing at the registers, and that was much appreciated, because the line was ridiculously long. The guy that ring up my purchase was so nice and friendly. Oh, and did I mention I like arts and crafts? SO this store, in general, is awesome!

Leaving a customer on hold for 10 minutes without checking back is unacceptable. Bad form.

I literally just walked out of this store and I will never spend a dime at this place again. They close at 7. My husband and I got there before 6 as we had a lot to get to build our granddaughter a dollhouse. Exactly at 7 they announced they were closed. We still had to get a little box so we kept looking. The employees started making snide remarks over the speakers. They told us we had to check out or leave. I spoke with a manager and she said she would call security. I have never in my life been treated so poorly. I paid and left in tears.

We had two coupons we wanted to use and we were told we could use both and then when we went up to pay the associate Nikki told us no no no you can’t do that, it the extra 20% only comes off of the second item even though the coupon said «20% off all items». Nikki was a peice of work and our associate Timothy was wonderful. The person Nikki was incredibly rude and was talking to us as if we were stupid and then had the stones to say «are we happy now??» And I said no and she goes «well…» And walked away. RUDE

I like this place even though I don’t go here often. I go for mosaic types of things… and they have great inexpensive Xmas stuff. Great candles! I always enjoy looking around when here. I do this they had more mosaic platforms. like those I can get online. Like the shape of a sun, or swirl, square, etc. The best kinds are thick MDF… and they don’t carry any of that stuff. That would be my one wish! They are right nearby though and I often stop there to check stuff out.

As a frequent knitter and occasional DIY-​er, I can’t live without Michaels. They have a huge selection of crafting items, patterns, ideas, custom framing, and even offer classes to instruct you in the latest projects.
Their prices are on the high side but they frequently offer coupons so I usually wait until I can get 10−25% off my order before actually purchasing anything. This happens to be my only real issue with the store. That and they seem to change/​rotate stock often so if you see something you like, you should grab it while it’s there.
The staff is usually quite friendly and helpful but occasionally they do bone head things like not offering transfers for items carried at one of their other stores.

I always go to there website to get coupons whenever i go here they always seem to have some good deal going on! The customer service is wonderful!

I always have a bad day when I come here.
It’s barely organized to make sense. People wander around everywhere like zombies, so even if you have a mission to get in and get out, it’s impossible to get around a lot of people.
The service is mostly a caricature like Kristin Wiig’s Target Lady impression. You’d think that would be funny, but it is extremely frustrating when your «I’ll just get in and get the things on my list» turns into confusion and lots of wasted time.
Like I said, I always have a bad day when I go here. I avoid it and go out of my way to the one on 82^nd if I really need to go to a Michael’s.

Love Michael’s! They have a little bit of everything a crafter might need! They’re slightly more expensive than say Joanne’s, but have a much better selection and you can almost always find a coupon. They have a great frame selection and the frames always seem to be on sale, which is nice.

I don’t think, I can make it in my little town without having Michaels store near by. I could totally go to Michaels store everyday but I will probably be so broke & hungry.
I took Cake decorating courses with Alanna (the best teacher in the world). I love her, I love her, I love her & I know you will love her too…
You should sign up for an account to receive special offers & coupons. I have a 40% coupon and plan to spend on Ceramic Candy Melting Bowls today. :)

For someone who is not remotely crafty, I spend a ridiculous amount of time and money in this store. They are one of my favorite spots for seasonal décor and I usually can’t leave without buying a decorative candle holder. I think my home is on its way to being a fire hazard.
The thing to keep in mind about Michaels is that you should never have to pay full price. They almost always have coupons in the Sunday Oregonian or you can print them from their website (
). They don’t keep the coupons in stock at the store, so make sure you remember to bring it with you.
A few items here that may surprise you…
–Children’s toys — Never did a lot of arts and crafts with my boys, but they went through a major animal figure collection phase. They have a good selection in stock and also have the dreaded Silly Bandz.
–Plain T-​shirts with vintage rock decals you can apply.
The reason for three stars is that I split my time between the Tualatin and Oregon City locations and think the other store is slightly better.
