Michaels

I went this location at first time.
Lots of selection by craft categories but seems like a bit poor side of the sewing section.
I think cuz of the season, I see the bunch of knitting materials but basic sewing items were not really there. such as zippers, tapes, snaps.
luckily, I got what I need but took the car over to this store and if I couldn’t find what I need will be too painful. I hope they will fill more items soon.

This is the last time I will shop at Michaels. First of all, the selections for a «craft» shop are very minimal in most departments. Then when you do find something, there is generally one person on the register.
Today finished it. I was waiting in a line with 6 people while the only person on the register was dealing with a problem that a customer had. We waited a while, then I saw the manager near the register talking to someone. My asked if he could open another register… at this point there were eight people in line.
He didn’t respond to me, continued to talk to someone, then walked away. It was finally my turn to pay, and at that point the line was still long, and another cashier showed up. Really bad customer service. I’d rather order from an on line website than go there again

This is one of Michael’s smaller stores. However, there are many options of everything that you will need here and it is clean and organized. This is part of a mini mall so there’s easy parking. It’s also open late.
I did have a disappointing experience here while Christmas décor shopping on a weekday evening. I was interested in a specific item that consisted of 3 pieces and could not find an attendant to help me. This is an ongoing problem at Michael’s stores; there are never any associates on the floor that are easily accessible. When I finally got someone from the register come and help me (she sighed loudly when she had to walk away from what she was doing), she advised that this was the last item that was left. For some reason, she didn’t offer to look up the item to see if it was available in nearby store or offer me the display. When I asked her if I can purchase the display, she said that she didn’t know but didn’t bother to find out either. She didn’t even refer me to the online site. Workers like these are not good for business.

I absolutely love this store. The associates are extremely nice and helpful. The lines do get very long and it is annoying to wait, but it is not their fault it is usually the customer returning a bunch of things with no receipt that hold up the line. I miss the Barnes and Nobles, but I do prefer an arts and crafts store that meets my every need!

Very rude staff. I called and asked if there was something I could do about an Easel that was purchased for a friend. I explained the directions were ripped and it also seemed as though there may be a piece missing. When I asked if they would be able to assemble it I got an «uuuummmmmm nooooo». I realize it may not be what they do but if you have trouble assembling a bike from toys R us they assemble it. I told him the instructions were on the label and no noticeable as it was on the inside so when you open it the instructions ripped. The first person I spoke with was just as sarcastic and nasty. I’d rather order in amazon prime for half the price and delivered in 2 days. I won’t shop there.

Slim pickings on knitting supplies. For a huge shop this is not the place to run in and grab a set of any knitting supply you might find you need in a hurry and definitely not the place to stock up. On a particular day they only had short straight needles and very few sizes, limited circular sizes, even row markers were out of stock in spite of their website showing everything you need and more. If knitting is your hobby find another hobby shop or shop on line with this store. Of course you can pick another hobby… Seems like that’s what they’re going for very disappointing.

Very slow lines. Usually only have one or two registers open with a huge line. Lots of stuff and a very big michaels. I have used their custom framing twice and have loved it. Very fast and very clean.

One of their larger stores with the bonus of being located next to the River Walk in Edgewater. So in nice weather, you can gather your knitting supplies and relax and knit by the river! Like all Michael’s, this one was stocked with an amazing array of supplies for every conceivable craft. This one also, when I went, unfortunately, had some kind of holiday scent permeating the air. I couldn’t figure out whether it was from candles or some spray but it made my eyes water and gave me a headache. Michael’s managers remember people have allergies! Be gentle with the scent. we all know Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the bend. Other than that complaint, I love, love to browse and shop at any Michael’s Arts and Crafts store.

A very nice, well priced, fully stocked up store. It’s mostly due to the fact that it’s brand new… let’s hope they keep this store as clean and neat as it is now. Walking around the store with the wife, I felt like a giant. The shopping carts feel like they were made for anyone who’s under 5 feet tall.
Walking around I actually can’t believe this store use to house a Barnes and Nobles. I wish them luck…

This is the second Michael’s I’ve been to. Gladly the shopping experience and the store was much better than the one I went to in Rego Park, Queens.
This Michael’s was quite spacious and each aisle was neatly stocked. I recently visited Michael’s to pick up supplies for a gift I am putting together for a gift for my boyfriend. I was surprised that most of the items I bought weren’t overpriced.
The staff here are friendly and always willing to help if you need assistance. I will definitely be returning to this Michael’s more often since it is conveniently located near Mitsuwa Marketplace and tax is slightly cheaper in New Jersey.

Michael’s took over the space that was vacated by Barnes and Noble. I like going to Michael’s stores for arts and crafts, party supplies and most recently, this store saved my behind by having a decent stock of holiday cards on hand (Holiday cards, NOT Christmas cards for clients). There always seem to be a ton of coupons on line and in flyer for 40% off regular priced items. I also bought a bunch of children’s crafts items for my nieces and nephew Christmas time activities while waiting for St. Nick. I’m just happy that it’s located practically next door and I don’t have to travel to satisfy my crafts itch.
