I want to say a few positive things about Michaels, in general, and about our last visit in…read moreparticular. First, Michaels continues to carry Pride Month merch. Sounds like a small thing, but for our family, it's a big deal. Second, we've gotten several things framed here, both custom and not. We were here this week to pick up some standard size frames, and we never fail to find attractive options. The frames have been moved to make way for the new Joann Fabric section, but that's fine. Third, they transitioned to a system where everyone does self-checkout, but if you have Michaels rewards or coupons, or both, there is always someone there to help you navigate. We want to recognize Zen for helping us maximize our savings this past visit.

My friend and I took the beginning crochet class with Angelica. We both had experience knitting…read morebut wanted to try crochet. The class was 4 hours over 2 Mondays. The fee $75, included a skeen of cotton yarn. We needed to provide our own hooks. The project we were making was a headband. Only one person completed it. The first day there were 8 students and the instructor had an aide. If there hadn't been an aide I feel there would have been too many students for a beginners class. Some of the students demanded a lot of the instructor's time. It was difficult to get clarification. The second day there were only 5 of us and just the instructor. The instructor had to spend a lot of time with a couple of students but she was more available on this day. She helped me with my stitches and showed us how they could be used in projects. Her one-on-one demonstrations were critical to my learning. I give 5 stars for Angelica, her knowledge, teaching ability and patience. I think $75 was high for the value.

It is hard to find a great upholstery shop. We last went to a European Master Craftsman years ago…read morein Lafayette but he retired. Lucky for us because 15 years ago he was 1-1/2 times more expensive than what we paid recently at a different shop for better quality material and similar craftsmanship. We found Tri-Valley Upholstery (TVU) in Pleasanton after searching and doing some research. My wife reached out via e-mail to inquire about the work we needed and later followed up with pictures. Tri-Valley gave us an estimate and we scheduled an appointment to bring in one chair for evaluation and finalized specifics. We met with Eduardo who was very helpful, energic and enthusiastic. We picked out the material, received a sample, approved the material and scheduled the project. TVU did a beautiful job on reupholstering 6 chairs with a really nice piece of leather. Seats are taunt, tucked perfectly around the chair backs and the bead is spot on. There was a real minor tweak on 3 chairs that TVU took care of quickly. Dropped the chairs off and the next morning they were completed. Eduardo and his team are talented, very responsive, knowledgeable and produce quality work to make customers happy. If you need something reupholstered, give Tri-Valley Upholstery a try. You won't be disappointed and they are priced well.

We have been trying to get a call back from Ed, the owner (I think), to no avail…read more We needed to get our sofa cushions replaced. I searched Yelp and found this business (which had pretty good reviews) back in March, 2026. I spoke to Ed, on the phone to get the 411 on how it works with him. I had to leave a voicemail. He called me back fairly promptly. A week or two later we were in Pleasanton, so I suggested to my husband we drop by his shop to finalize the replacement cushions. We took one of the cushions in to his shop so he could take measurements and we could pick out a density of the replacement foam. So he got the measurements and we picked out the density we wanted and got aquote. He said it will take about a week to get the cushions and he will contact us. Great! We waited to hear from him, finally in the third week my husband tried to contact him via text and left a voicemail. We waited and waited and waited. I thought he's a one man show , he must be busy. I finally contacted him again June 3 (text and voicemail) and waited. I do believe he has ghosted us (as my kids say). Definitely do not recommend a business who does not have the common courtesy to return a voicemail or text. Definitely frustrating. I will resume my search. Thanks for reading to the end of my tale.
