I wanted to find a nice picture frame for my college diploma. I found a really nice one at a decent price! The service was really good too, they are very friendly.

There was a long line this evening that went back through the aisles. The cashier (I couldnt see her name tag & I cant find one on my receipt) was extremely patient and kind. I had my 3 children with me whom all had a seperate transaction (not including my own), one of which included a return. I appreciate the respect shown-- not once did she hurry us or make any purchase (no matter how small) seem irrelevant.This means a lot in a time when customer service is lacking and people are in a rush. 👍🏽👍🏽

So this is not a store that I frequent Often. Typically if I need supplies such as glue tape runners, crayons and stuff for children to do arts and crafts, I usually will just buy it online. However this particular day I made the decision to go ahead and go to Michael’s intentionally so that we would not have to wait the shipping time after placing an order because my sons really really wanted to make clay molds the kind you put in the oven. As I said in the beginning of this review Michaels is not a store that I frequent Often; therefore I was not familiar at all with how to navigate the store what all products they carried etc. So obviously I’ll look for a floor associate to ask for assistance. The young man who I asked for help from, he was super nice and very helpful! He help me find the items I was looking for in less than five minutes and was very polite and cordial. Then that check out I was worried that it was going to be very expensive quite frankly. To my surprise it was not. So that’s why I give this review a five star, and why I’m sharing my experience because it was such a good experience! In the biggest thing that I’ve noticed since the year of 2020, is that the big brick and mortar retail stores I have dramatically declined in their customer service, willingness to help us consumers, and basically just follow the norms of society and social interaction in a setting such as this. I’ve been noticing a trend that a lot of the employees at these big brick and mortar retailers have completely disregarded the Importance of their job; Which is to be polite and helpful to the customers that come to the store. Help us find the items were looking for, answer questions, and basically just be nice and helpful and of assistance. The trend I’ve been noticing is that employees have been rude, inappropriate, and obviously could care less about helping us customers to have a better experience at their stores. As a small business owner myself, who is strictly cells on e-commerce and, meaning I don’t have a brick and mortar store; if I did have a store with employees I would fire them on the spot if I saw the behavior that I personally have been experiencing. So I tip my hat to you Michaels arts and craft store, For being the example of what a good brick and mortar retail business in post 2020 should be like. Thank you for that very pleasant shopping experience that I had when I visited your store. I greatly appreciate it and so do my sons. We’ve had lots of fun making clay molds that’s all they wanna do we actually ran out of clay LOL!

Good customer service! They had a clearance item that had to be bought in-store. They put a hold on it for me and I was in and out of the store within 10 minutes.I had reservations on the location because I heard that traffic can be very busy, but I (and my GPS) navigated it with no trouble.

Great selection of supplies, just wish the isles were laid out smarter. Seems like nothing is grouped together. Excellent friendly staff and ordering online to pick up on store is super convenient. Website told me 2 hours to pick up and I had a text confirming my order was ready within 15 minutes.

Im not sure if this is an East Coast thing, but this Michaels was the smallest one Ive ever been to. It wasnt really all that well stocked either. Hopefully its just a pandemic thing but Im not likely to return to a big name store if it doesnt have more in it. A solidly okay place if you need some odds and ends and dont want to pay small business money.

Review №31

They sell a little bit of everything here and I can often find something thats adequate for my needs. My only beef is the painting supplies are really only suitable for students and you wont find any higher grade paints or painting materials. You also wont find a lot of help from the staff. But prices are generally pretty good.

I visited the Aaron Brothers custom framing at the back of the store. I had a photo on my phone that I to be printed on canvas. The framers name was Stephanie and she was absolutely fantastic. In addition to being super knowledgeable about the process, she was friendly and upbeat. She was very patient and never rushed me. Stephanie embodies the spirit of customer service!

In addition to a wide selection of arts & crafts and home decor products, your local Pittsburgh, PENNSYLVANIA Michaels carries a range of seasonal products. They carry Christmas products, including cards, ornaments, and decorations, as well as supplies for birthdays, St. Patricks Day, Easter, and Valentines Day. Michaels also offers many wedding favors, such as wedding invitations, bridal accessories, decorations, guest books, place cards and floral products.The store always have excellent sales and discounted coupons are plentiful. You can add multiple discounts that is a big deal to me as I am able to add coupons on top of my veterans discount. Love the store love the brand

Had an unpleasant experience at the register with a cashier. My daughter had a coupon, and I had a coupon and we were going to make separate purchases and the cashier tried to keep us from making a separate purchase. Michaels you need to change your policy and train your cashiers to treat customers with respect. Especially customers that are shopping several times a week. Its ok though...I can always go to Hobby Lobby, or Joannes...Joannes has great coupons and they let you use more than one per transaction.😐

It was a quiet early evening on Wednesday with 2 other customers but I had to hunt to find someone to help me and the one cashier they had was new..its the cashier who do you think people go to first for help? If shes up front and new.. then the other not so new employees need to be more visible. Im going to Hobby Lobby or another craft store next time..

This Michaels is a smaller store than most Michaels in the Pittsburgh area, but they still provide a good selection and have helpful staff. The store itself shows its age in the fixtures and lighting, but it is full of great craft supplies just like any other store. If you need something in a large quantity it might be best to give them a call in advance to check if they have it in stock. I do this and have them put something on hold for me which makes the shopping process even easier. Michaels in general is a higher priced store than Pat Catans, but they have an app where you can download their coupons while you are in the store, and theyve just started a rewards program. Im part of the rewards program and have been sent coupons in my email that are better than the ones they send me in the app, so it might be worth it to subscribe to both if you are a frequent Michaels shopper.
