Hobby Lobby

It’s funny because every time I come here which is *RARE* I always get looked down upon as if I’m an alien? And treated absolutely HORRID. The staff is HORRIBLE and if I ask them a question to where something is, they roll their eyes and stomp along to find it for me. When I was returning something, they questioned me with about 200 questions (exaggerated) about why I don’t want it and that THEY could’ve used it the day that I bought it. (!!!) Lol Hobby Lobby, you do have EVERYTHING but you sure DONT have great employees. Only good thing about Hobby Lobby is their organization of things.

Hard been here several times and usually have fun shopping hère, but today the customer service was horrible. Needed 6 half dome Styrofoam pieces. They only had 2 out. Asked first employee I saw if they had more, she said no did not elaborate at all and turned her back. Asked second guy I saw he says no, so I ask the obvious that they should have suggested which is… will they get any more in… Then am told yeah if we ordered any they will come in on Wednesday. .again end of conversation back turn. So I take the 2 I found to the cash register and ask is there anyway you can check for me more of these will be coming in next week… answered no, can you check your other stores, answered no we are not allowed to… so basically you want me to come back on Wednesday to check. no guarantees and possibly waste my valuable time for the privilege of spending money in your store?! Cashier says «sorry, the owner of the store likes to do things the old fashion way»…I kid you not… what a joke (I will leave out the obvious political comment here) Found the item at Michaels in the quantity I needed. Was a little more expensive, but worth it to shop in a store that is actually operating in the 21^st Century.

I like this store but their customer service is ridiculous. They would not do a price adjustment. They wanted you to return product and repurchase it. We are spending $ 200+ and you don’t want to accommodate? I just bought this 2 days ago? And I have the receipt? Really? Just perturbed!

This place is similar to a lower price point Michael’s. They have lots of discounts but their store layout can be confusing and their stuff can be hard to find. For example, they have some picture and picture frames towards the front of the store, but if you want the bigger size, it’s towards the back.
One suggestion is their staff should smile more and when they ask «can I help you» it can be a bit intimating because I felt as if they were saying that to a potential thief.

I have a love hate relationship with this company. They have amazing products. My daughter gets all of her drawing needs from here. They also have nice pieces of furniture. The store is clean and organized. My only complaint is that their prices are ridiculously high. I have found a couple of pieces that I really liked but almost passed out when I saw the prices.

Came here last night to find few stuff for my daughter’s Halloween costume. Well, I did find what I was looking for, but still their prices is way higher than Michael’s craft store. Also they barley have any coupons available. The store is really big, but if you’re looking for craft stuff you better go to Michael’s, you’ll find everything.
Hobby Lobby is for home décor for my opinion.

I’m a new customer to Hobby Lobby and have only been twice. The store is open/​airy and clean and has a lot of great things to choose from. The customer service however is horrible. No one asked if I needed help finding anything. But more importantly the cashier was rude! She seemed annoyed when I told her I didn’t want one of the items and never smiled or greeted me. I asked her to check the price of an item and she had the audacity to turn the item towards me, point to the price and say «$ 24.99 with 50% off so that’s $ 24.99 divided by two» as if she was giving me a math lesson. As I stared at her in shock and tried to quickly breathe and count to 10 she said «so that means it $ 12» (in her ‘duh’ voice)! By this time I wanted to snatch her across the counter but I passed and told her thanks for the math lesson, but I learned my division a long time ago. She said, well you were looking confused, I said no, I was looking in disbelief by the way you were talking to me, I wasn’t asking you how to divide, all I needed to know was that it was 50% off, I think my Master’s degree in mathematics covered division! I wanted to cancel my $ 177 worth of stuff and walk out because of her rude, disrespectful behavior but I didn’t. I hate spending my money in places where they don’t know how to treat all their customers so I’ll be sticking to Michael’s from now on.

I usually go to Hobby Lobby in Dublin, this was my first time here. I love the selection here! What I wasn’t so happy about, was the customer service. I asked an employee a question on where to find something and they acted like I interrupted their whole day! Well this is your job! I will go here again, just avoid that employee!

While they have a large selection of supplies, I prefer Michaels. The layout is confusing but the worst part is their crappy store paint. I usually buy them from Michaels (acrylic) nothing fancy as I just paint for fun but the paint here is consistently bad. The always crack after drying, I ended up ruining a large supply of canvases

Extremely overpriced. Looking for vases for a baby shower… needed 12… found the exact same thing that worked beautifully… at DollarTree.
Walking through the store I see a lot of fake plant dust collectors. and craft items better priced at Michaels.
I would rather spend my money on better quality home décor that doesn’t look like everyone else’s home.

Love this store! Its amazing just how much is in this store! I defy anyone to go their and not find at least one thing they like. Impossible. I could spend hours in here. And their weekly 40% off coupon is a great savings.

I love thisnplace. Half off my wall art… all metal… all frames and all my twine for my art work.

I visited Hobby Lobby for the very first time yesterday. OMG! Amazing!!!
1. Very well organized! My 11 year old son described it as «a clean version of Home Goods/​Michaels/​Joann Fabrics combined»
2. Home Décor!!! Several aisles of cute (not tacky) home décor!
3. Christmas! They were already stocked with Thanksgiving and Christmas items
4. Crafters Dream! They have so many options compared to other crafting stores. Even my kids found something they liked!
5. Fabric galore! Lots more different styles than Joanns!
Cons:
1. Prices. Well the prices are a bit more expensive than Michaels, but a lot of items are on sale, and you can find a weekly 40% off coupon online for regular priced items. Plus– you will find more variety here compared to Michaels.
2. Closed on Sundays.
So far– the pros outweigh the cons, so I will definitely be coming back!

Came here the other day looking for Bandanas lol
I was panicking because I had a concert the same night to go to so I called this place last minute to see if they had Bandanas… and low and behold they did! Tons of em actually lol
The lady on the phone said «we have bandanas in about every color of the rainbow» and they really did, I was surprised lol
Good service, cheap prices (but I’m not too sure how much other paces cost)
If I had to pick on one thing is that there is TOO much stuff lol the place is hugeee! But you’ll most likely find what you;re looking for as far as crafts and stuff go here.

This place is amazing. Its crazy to see so much stuff under one roof! It’s a craft store & home decorating store built into one! They have themed stuff for every room of the house, western, Parisienne, man cave, etc. They even had police, firefighter & military themed decorations as well! They have a ton of furniture & wicker baskets, a bunch of small decorative knick knacks it’s not to look around for a while. The candles were really pretty too, plus the seasonal items were cool!
The only thing I didn’t like, were the high prices & at least at Michael’s crafts, they have a ton of coupons & sales available. The stuff even on sale here were still higher than I’ve seen elsewhere. The selection in the arts & crafts section still wasn’t as great at Michael’s.
Overall, fun place to visit, but prepare to pay top dollar.

Sometimes they have what I’m looking for, sometimes they don’t. It’s really hit or miss. In the home decorating department, they have just about every kitschy thing you could ever hope for. They have a medium sized sewing department. A lot of thread & accent items, a very basic selection of fabric.
I’m usually here looking for painting or crafting supplies. Their paint section is pretty extensive. I have always located what I needed, whether it be acrylics, brushes, tools, sponges, canvases or mediums. The scrapbooking department is plentiful in the basic areas: paper, stickers, pens, etc. They do not carry any of the smaller, more unique lines.
My biggest complaint with this place is their check out process. The lines are chaotic & confusing. The cashiers have to type in the price of each item & memorize all of the sales. I didn’t know this until my 3^rd or 4^th visit and I know I was charged full price for sale items in the past. Keep your eyes open for sales and make sure the cashier applies them. They have a chart at their register, if they question you. I’m not sure why they are using this kind of a system in 2013?

This place has to be one of the most unfriendly rude places I’ve ever shopped at. The prices aren’t that great… it may say 50% off but 50% to this business is normal prices for similar items at other businesses. I shop there frequently because of the need for items, believe me if there was another place closer by to shop & get the same items I would.
I went in there the other day & was looking for a few specific items in the fabric department. There were 3 associates in that department. One was at the cutting counter the other 2 were cleaning up the department & whatnot. I wandered around that department for at least 15 minutes without any of the 3 of them even bothering to look up or ask me if they could help me. When it finally asked I felt as if I was bothering her at her job. Then when I asked about return policy she rudely told me to ask the people at the front. I’m sorry but I feel like you should know the return policy at your own place of business.
I stopped asking where items were because no matter what the item was or who I asked the answer is always, «oh that’s in the craft department»…, umm excuse me I’m sorry isn’t this a craft store!!! Isn’t the entire store a craft department!!! God forbid they take you to where the actual item is or help you find what you’re looking for.
Every single person in there that I have ever come in contact with is rude & condescending & act like they are better than you. I’ve worked in retail for over 10 years & this is by far the WORST customer service I have ever experienced & they are consistent with it. Not to mention the checkout process is slower than ever!!! They input each item one by one by one. We have computers & technology for a reason & it is not utilized by this place of business. It’s so frustrating sitting there while they input each price & item by hand.
When I shop I expect a friendly, quick, painless experience, I do not get that from this place of business & if I could go somewhere else to get the items I need I would.
I would never recommend this place for anyone to shop at.

Again I got suckered into hype and went somewhere because «I had too». lol
I am not a crafty person so when people kept trying to get me to go in I was like «NO»…
I was wrong about this store it is not just a glorified «Michaels».
When you first walk in though I am not too impressed. I almost got the «dollar tree» vibe. Not sure if is the way they promote certain items when you first walk in or what but I think they need to display some nicer items in their entry area.
I noticed another Unilocaler here mentioned that they love home décor and was not impressed. I have to agree. I kind of felt like a snob when I first thought it but glad someone else noticed it. They have A LOT of interesting items for the home. You can certainly find something for your home or a gift BUT many of these items are over priced for how they are made. If I want a wood looking item and can’t afford wood then the knock of version should be cheaper. They seem to charge prices that would match if the item were made better.
I think people in college, their first home etc would love some of these items but they do need to lower the prices if the quality isn’t there.
One reason I rated them higher is I like their standards. Things like being closed on Sunday etc. I think society needs to get back to such simple things. I also like all the Christian related items they have in their store.
I agree with others, this is a store you go into when you have time and no little ones with you (unless you know exactly what you want) it is overwhelming for the first time shopper!

Why hello you magnificent store!
This place is huge! Go when you have a few hours to browse and without kids (if you have them). Not because it’s not a store for them, but because you will be there for hours and they will want room in the cart for your purchase. hehe
My first visit was with my hubby and son. Hubby thought the store was going to be more model trains and stuff… haha silly man.
I came back by myself a week or two later. Walked around for over an hour and picked up a bunch of stuff. Found a really cute frame for my business.
Lots of items are 30% their every day price. Now the 40% discount isn’t added to that. They take 40% off the regular price. I’ve heard a few moms complain about that.

This review is based solely on all of their home décor items.
So, if anyone knows me, they know that I am an absolute home décor fanatic and may even be considered a bit a snob when it comes to such things. Just like some girl has an obsession with shoes, I have an obsession with home décor good’s. That is, quality, nice, home décor goods… something this store is certainly lacking.
After hearing several of my friends and family RAVE about this place, I figured it was worth checking out.
Hobby Lobby has since taken over what used to be the now ancient «Mervyns». Which means, the store is HUGE! Supplying enough space to cramp it with tons of junk. Which seems to be most of what is filling up the current space.
Now apparently its a great place if your really into crafts and things. Like actually making stuff on your own :) However, my review is based solely on the large section of home décor items they have for sale presented within the mid section of the store. As well as a majority of their Halloween décor.
Most of the home décor items appear to be extremely cheaply made at pretty reasonable prices, however, they are those items that probably wont last very long. Some of the candle holders and mirrors to be hung on walls, seemed to have been made of a Styrofoam type material, very unstable and flimsy.
Now, it may be great if you have a «Craft Hobby» but if your looking for decent, quality, home décor items, you will probably be better off at Kirklands a few doors down with comparable prices.
Overall, place is huge! Has just about everything your looking for that pertains to crafts, décor and holiday goods, however, seems to be lacking in quality.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but perhaps others.
