There is a huge variety of good stuff here, and it’s usually fairly straight forward to find what you are looking for. The people are friendly and helpful most of the time. We keep coming back.

Rating des Ortes: 4 East York, Toronto, Canada
I’m indecisive between a 3 and a 4 star rating for Deserres. They had the good art products that artists need, and to me it seemed to be decently cheap canvas. They had the good quality paints such as Windsor and newton as well, and golden acrylics. Some stuff did seem very expensive though. Signing up for their creative club is a good idea though, especially as a student, as you get double the points on their points program. Service however isn’t too good, as they have university art students, and I, being another student, was surprised that they didn’t offer help when my arms were full of stuff. But they were friendly at the cash. The store is also well laid out, even with all the other crafts products there, which seemed to be good too. It was more straightforward to find stuff than at Michaels, where everything is everywhere it seems to me. Overall a decent store and I’ll definitely be going here more for supplies :)
