Michaels — Attraction in Buena Park

GREAT PLACE! RECOMMENDED!

First, I'm sure most already know what this place is about; but even then, you'll still be short on the YUGE variety of items and possibilities!

Layout: This place is packed with all that's needed for crafts, school projects, art, and even decorating and face painting. Each aisle is full of options, compartmentalized into sections depending on type of craft. The rear section has the picture frames & custom frame counters.

Price: It depends on the quality you're looking for. Yes, WM and maybe other places might have some items for a bit less, but low quality items MAY NOT last or perform at the level you expect or need (been there). When it comes to brushes & stencils, Michaels has different qualities and many styles, at the best prices overall. LOOK OUT FOR THEIR BOGO OR 30-50% OFF DEALS. Sign up for their rewards program.

Service: Unlike other places where workers act snobby or want to be left alone (see WM, BB, Dollar Stores, etc), I've always received helpful and friendly assistance at all four locations I've visited. No rude tone, attitude looks, and no 'I only make MW so you figure it out' uncomfortable situations. It's always been courteous and timely help.

Final thoughts: I'm not the artist or creative type, but seeing all that's avail here truly piqued my interest & my desire to make new and unique pieces. Once you understand their sales schedule and point system, it's even more worth it.

Will def return as I LIKE this...

I like crafts....who doesn't? Ok, lot's of guys and some gals don't but the rest of us like to create. The staff has always been friendly, so you get stars for that. Michaels has a great selection of items and prices are somewhat competetive with stores that offer crafts. I'm sure their 40% off coupon is always a favorite with customers. Previously being a flower shop owner I know the minimum markup for all products that go from the box it arrived in, to the shelf, are automatically doubled and many times 2 1/2 to 3x marked up. So.......when we get those 40% off coupons, how about letting us customers apply it to our ENTIRE order whether it's on sale or not? Can you imagine how much $$$$$ we would spend knowing it's all 40% off? Michaels would also make considerably more $$$$$. That's how I did business. I worked on a smaller profit margin but overall made more money due to higher sales. Just makes sense. So Michaels? How about it. What's the worst that can happen? We get 40% off....hey we'll even take 30% on occasion, but YOU will financially knock it out of the park. Regarding your stars, I deducted 1 stars because I know you can do better with your customers. Imagine if we all stopped buying from you and went to Joanns who offers 50% off and sometimes 60% off more often. Come one Michaels, you got nothing to lose so charge forward and we will too.... using our VISA, Discover and every other piece of plastic we carry...

This is an awesome store. I was looking for popsicle sticks to build my dog a house. When an associate showed me all kinds of other ideas to consider. On this journey through the store I dusc8vered that this store is first of all clean and safe. With no blocked lanes. This location was pretty well stocked. I can't say. Could find something I was looking for here. The have a huge selections of craft and hobby items as well as professional equipment f9r the pro arstist and enthusiastist. They also take orders to complete all your picture framing needs. The ambiance and not t too much traffic to worry about. I ended up buying a packet of gum only because I needed to go home and rethink the floorplan for pookie's house. This is a 5 star establishmenet. I recommend this to anyi ewho us looking for anything to do with crafting. Last but not least the installation of the self pay kiosk was a great idea. There self pay kiosk accepts cash or credit card. No need to worry about anything. They still have associate to assist you if y9u have...
