Awesome store- very wide selection of frames, candles, home decor, paper crafts, wood, paint, floral, and more. I've found so many projects here- they have some truly unique pieces and supplies, and the staff are very accommodating. You'll find a lot of what you're looking for- and even more things you didn't know you were looking for! But what really gets me is their framing department- not only are the staff knowledgeable and polite,, but they are the only ones that I trust with framing my poster collectibles. If you have something rather valuable, ask for Craig. This older gentleman is experienced and has great taste (he's helped me frame four wonderful projects, and every time he suggested the perfect matte). I've never gotten left a picture with them and gotten something back from his department that wasn't fabulous. Their are only two things that are really annoying about this store- the first is the check-out registers. There is almost always a line of people and only one register open. This is also this issue with returns, where only certain people or registers can handle them- quite a problem when things are busy. The second thing is that the more fragile decor items (such as glass bowls and ceramic ornaments) are placed DIRECTLY along the store's main pathway on over-crowded glass shelves with NO barriers between the patrons and the very fragile wares! As a very klutzy shopper I must admit it's quite nerve-wracking to navigate the rows (yes, they have the units in two VERY close rows) with a cart- the only way to avoid them is to go all the way to the front ends of the store before heading to the back. Those two problems aside, the store usually has good sales on certain selections at different times (call ahead or check their website for more details), but even if you find something at full price you can always print off a coupon online (it's generally 40% off one item, but I think there are some exclusions). They also have several 'clearance' sections hidden throughout the store- one is mainly fabric remnants and related projects; but the other two are home decor and jewelry/beads/kits/etc. They could use some more staff and some minor floor re-design; however this is still my favorite art provider. If you're looking for a larger store with good service and selection, take a trip to this store and you won't be...

I asked an employee where to find pens they didn't have what we were looking for and at checkout my I took my daughter to the car because she was acting up a bit and a worker as we went to leave whiley husband paid for the items we purchased a worker inquired to an other worker if we bought pens and why me and my three old left the store before my husband finished paying for the items. Always a negative experience when we come to this store every time we come we like to browse and see what they have we get followed down every Isle we go down and treated very poorly not...
Read moreI was looking for some projects for my dads wife. 2 women who were standing around talking clammed up while i was passing and the one said "this is the area they normally come and steal." I shrugged it off went down an isle to keep looking at things. The one lady stood at the end of the isle staring at me, i went to the next isle over to keep looking, and again same thing. I dont know if i was being mistaken for someone else or what, but it was ridiculously rude. Havent been back since. I literally drive out to the Davenport one just to...
