Skip Target and come here for after Christmas deals! The only bad thing here is that they don't have a price check system. Christmas items were all discounted at different percentages. It ranged from 50-80%. I bought an $8.00 box of Christmas cards for $2.40. I also got, among other things a Wilton Linzer cookie cutter set for $2.49. It was a better deal than the cookie cutter set I bought at 50% from Crate and Barrel. The store can be a bit chaotic most of the time. there is so much stuff to look at, that I sometimes forget why I went into the store in the first place. Oh yeah, tissue paper. They have it, and I bet you can get red and green on sale right now. read more

Terrible service after receiving very poor framing job. When I asked the young lady about the poor framing job she said " that's the best we do" and " sorry you don't like the work, it doesn't look too good to me either". She was rude, not well trained and had no business being in contact with customers. Michael's should stay in the fake flower business and leave the framing to to custom framing shops or Hobby Lobby. I'd like to leave a rating of no stars but I can't. I will take my framed item over to Hobby Lobby and have them clean it up. This is where I should have gone in the beginning. Have no reason ever to go back to a Michaels again. read more

Ordered online for in store pickup and received multiple confirmations it was ready. When I got there, they couldn't find it. I stood around for 30 minutes while they "looked for it." No one attempted to update me for the last 20 minutes of that. Finally I just told them to cancel it so I could leave because they didn't have any left in stock at the store. Disorganized and unhelpful waste of time. read more

No one can provide any advice. Just "idk" and "you can check out on the computer yourself" No connection, no help read more

I understand being short staffed. I don't understand staff being rude. I called to see if there was someone in the framing department and the guy answering the phone said "yes" and as I was asking a second question he hung up on me. I called because when I went the other day there was a sign the framing department was closed, come back later. When later? Twenty minutes, two days, next week? If you bother to make a sign please give useful information to your customers. When I suggested this to the lady at the door telling Ironically as I was leaving the store there were two employees bitching about how they're understaffed and have so much work to do. When you're at work aren't you supposed to be working? I mean that's how it works at my job. read more

Standing at registers, 16 customers visible, zero employees. Seem yo be switching to 4/5 registers being self check out. Woman rang bell over snd over before surly employee dragged himself to the front. Definitely just going to Hobby Lobby in the future. read more

Made an order online to pick up.... They cancelled my order without updating me. I waited around for hours without an update from this staff. I called for the status of my order and they said and i quote "Oh we cancelled it". Like what read more

What a shock going into Michaels on Saturday, Oct 29. The store was filled with boxes of merchandise stacked up, but not open. No sales people I could see anywhere on the floor, for assistance. The checkout is now only self serve with no assistance or instructions. Not the Michaels I love and spent soooo much $$$ at. Not going back for a very long time if ever.. Ended up at Joann's about 6 miles away, assisted by a pleasant associate, in and out 15 minutes. read more

Troy store is all automated self check out, 1 lane open for human contact, no direction for a customer, lady tells the guy that cut in line ahead of me its all self check out, do we get a discount for doing their jobs? What's next, stocking the item I want? Terrible management from the top down, cool store but terribly run, had to wait forever for a girl to verify I was able to purchase spray paint. Im 60 today. This is why stores go out of business, mangemant sucks from the top down. read more

Look, I want to like this store. From the exterior, everything about Michaels in Troy (Royal Troy? Troyal Oak?) looks promising. You have a handsome façade separated by a pretty large parking lot with ample space in case you need to careen around the ruthless, monolithic wall of cars that shows up during the holiday season. I feel like someone infiltrating the craft world slipping in here, since I am by no means a master of Etsy or Pinterest projects. Sometimes I just want a sticker to smack on a pumpkin or a bit of ribbon to hot glue to a stocking. Hot glue or duct tape can make just about any craft project happen if you're willing to be stuck to that project and spend a little sweat, skin and tears on it. (Blood is a bad sign.) But even my mother, a consummate crafter, finds this store out of her tolerance zone. Let me explain the reason why. You'll need to wait a few minutes. Like... Thirty. You can probably read that one Russian novel or classic you said you'd finish by the year's end, and keep putting aside, in the time it takes for the one cashier to process the transaction of the person three ahead of you. Did you think you'd get out of here before dawn? Ha ha, what did you think, this was a Party City. Oh no. Bow down before the craft gods and suffer, mortal. The one person who gives you hope in the desert of your exile from home as he approaches the register isn't there to open it, he's there to collect a box. He grabs a flyer or a price gun and wanders off like he hasn't noticed half the population of Ferndale is on the brink of expiration from hunger. Why do they surround the line in slime and candy? Because they know the power of suggestive purchasing. You'll be desperate to hold on to eat halfway through your stay. Please make sure to eat that heavy five course meal you've been putting off on any regular day. Holiday season? Go have that dinner at Zehnder's, really. You'll be glad you have the carbs and protein to digest, because you'll leave about the time it's done. The stock may be nice, the prices are too high without coupons unless on sale (and like Joann, Michaels /always/ has sales), and the assortment reasonably fair. It doesn't make a lick of good if you can't process five people with two items in less than 38 minutes 22 seconds. No, I didn't have the stopwatch on my phone going at all. Except I absolutely did. One cashier. One Saturday early evening. There is no just cause for this. At this point I could probably price scan my own items and why they don't have self-scan is beyond me. Spare me the agony of this. Even pick up isn't a good idea because I have to go through the one bored wage slave processing us. Thanks no, I'll order off Amazon. If you can put up with this, know that they're frequently picked over and especially badly in the yarn area. I go in, and find mismatched balls all over the place. Be sure to really check those sale tags, because they migrate around too. Ugh. Christmas is coming. And I'll be buying in advance this year, or braving a local shop, thanks. read more

Melissa in custom framing went way way way above and beyond for a special framing project: 12 ducky's that were my daughters favorite growing up (long story). Melissa was so excited about the project and gave it so much TLC!!! read more

Michaels - Ducky project - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Troy, Michigan

I love this store, love the deals. Not too happy they quit taking other store coupons. I also barely get any 40 off coupons now. This store is great and have some great staff but i've complained and others have about the carts. They are horrible. wheels have so much dirt and hair you can't even guide them without crashing into things. You tell the staff about carts and they just say yeah we know. Ummm hello management let's gets this simple thing fixed. Thanks read more

Shelves aren't stocked up. Not enough people on the floor. My experience with the staff leads me to believe they're not trained enough. Also one of your staff members was stubborn with me and wouldn't look for another item that I wanted to see, and I know these items vary in sizes, I buy loads of them. I left frustrated, I'm not here to argue with you, just show me what I want to see or have someone else do it. read more

Wandered in here this weekend with an art piece I had purchased and a goal: find a frame for it and perhaps get some help with it. I went to the custom framing department and said I didn't want custom framing, just some help. The lady was friendly but basically was like "the 8x10 frames are over there, just let me know when you have one and I'll help you put the picture in it." Another employee however, took about 10-15 minutes to help me look for frames and tell me which colors would work with the frame, which was super helpful. I didn't do "regular" checkout (I checked out at Custom Framing) so I can't attest to the line policy. But the customer service was great. read more

There was an overall lack of knowledge and customer service from the ONE employee I could find on the floor in the 2 hours I wandered around this place. read more

The framing department did amazing. They always have some kind of deal for specific frames. All the frames are beautiful and everyone was friendly and patient. Miranda was especially helpful and I will definitely be back for any framing needs! read more

This store looks like an arts and crafts wonderland upon entering, but it has some pretty awful customer service. Employees have glared at me, RUN AWAY from me, and acted really bored/rude in general. Also, they will refuse to honor competitor's prices, despite the clearly posted sign saying that they do. I pointed this out to the cashier once but didn't get any response. If you go, make sure you look on the Michael's website for a coupon beforehand because the full-priced items are just not worth it. But then, the employees never have the prices listed correctly on items, so l will often find out at the register that a supposedly full-priced item is actually on sale and therefore my coupon cannot be used. Along with your receipt, you will often receive a coupon at the register for a future purchase. read more

As a doordash driver you will lose money.... they make you wait in line just to get the products and then they have to go hunt it down.. it should be as simple as walking up to a shelf strictly dedicated to delivery services like every other business we help... you'll be here 20-30 minutes before you finally can help the customer... if you wanna make $20-$25 an hour then stay away from helping slow & non-updated stores like this.. read more

Yikes!! Worst customer service. Starting at 8:40 and every five minutes, the huffy manager got on the PA to announce they were closing and to bring items to the check out. She said it so fast, it was hard to make out the spiel, but it basically was rude. Only one lane open, very long lines. Aren't retailers trying to get people to $pend money??? Why the rush? Poor management, certainly. I can understand one general announcement 10 or 15 minutes before closing, but every 5 minutes?? Nervewracking. Store is MESSY, product quality is below average, and selection is limited for most items. It's like they're trying to cover every possible base of crafting, and it's just a hodgepodge of a mess. Thankfully, this was a one-time only experience for me... I'll stick with JoAnn for future craft store needs! read more

What kind of craft store doesn't have fabric ...... this doesn't make much sense to me. I love shopping st Michaels, but it's looking better and better to make the drive to jo Ann's ...... lame. Not to mention this particular store is crap, never stocked up every single time I've gone to this one for something it just so happens they don't have what I'm after. Add a cherry on top the employees are rude and very unhelpful. Get it together Michaels In Troy on Coolidge . Rant over . read more

Try not to get ripped off on coupons. They'll have a 25% yarn coupon that says even good for sale items. Then they put all their yarn on clearance, even though they're not actually getting rid of it. Other than watching coupons, it's a Michaels. Smells like potporri, lots of yarn and artsy craftsy stuff. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Troy, Michigan

I will start with, I love shopping at Michael's. When they are stocked, it's always a good selection. Unfortunately this location is kind of the worst. I have never been here when there isn't at least a 5 minute wait in line. The lines are always disorganized so there are people cutting in line, and the employees (sometimes managers) don't help that situation by yelling at the customers to form lines. There have been plenty of times where I have needed certain colors of embroidery floss and it takes about 3 weeks for a restock. I work retail and know that the customer service is very poor at this location. No one ever says hello, asks if I need help, or acknowledges you when you have been waiting a long time. read more

I love michaels, but dang can this store get it together? Every time I come there are long lines, nobody to help and employees are where? In the back? Get some people who care and make them work. read more

See all

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! they have no clear checkout lines so one must assume there is only one line, like any other store. The checkout girls encouraged people to get out of the one line, cut and skip to another open line without taking the first 3 people waiting. Then they insisted that they just made an announcement, and somehow I missed it, even though I was the first person in line. read more

Slam dunk if you're a pro crafter or just trying to put something together like you saw on Pinterest (like me)! The store seems to be laid out well, occasionally stock is low but it never seems for long. Reasonably priced & there's almost always a coupon available which is nice. They also have a good return policy which I appreciate, because I'm the person who will buy 10 of something when I only needed 5. Hey, there's nothing worse than running out of something mid-project! The reason I went with 3 stars, other than they don't offer 3.5, is the staff & lines you always face. Seems it doesn't matter what time it what day there's never enough registers open. read more

Oh the love/hate relationship I have with this store. Like a bad relationship I just can't quit. There are numerous issues that many others have spoken to. But for me, the fact you can never find an employee to help you on the floor is infuriating. Though I remember the one time I did- it was like a unicorn sighting. However, the poor girl did not know much as it was her first day and she looked as if she had been thrown to the wolves. She called a manger over to clarify where to look for the item I was seeking (it was not where website said it would be.) I tell you, the manager was so rude to her that it made me feel terrible that my search for a resin mold brought that upon her. She was embarrassed, I felt awful, it was really uncomfortable to watch. I told the manager that there was no need to be so salty with her and reminded him it was her first day. That man rolled his so hard I swear it had to hurt. He said nothing and promptly marched away like a Clydesdale. So yeah, I guess no help is better than that help? Also- so many items are continuously out. I searched for two and a half months for craft paint and the shelves were straight up Old Mother Hubbard. Bare. Sigh. read more

Good location, nice selection, but always such slow service to check out. Really discouraging and have left without purchasing a few times because of the lines. read more

Popped in today and noticed that they now have signs at each of the registers confirming that NO, Michaels doesn't have a "single line" policy, and that you should just pick an open register and park yourself in that line. I knocked a star off this update because it's such an inconvenient un-customer-friendly way to check people out, especially with the holiday (and crowds) upon us. :-( read more

At first I was feeling discouraged about finding some supplies that seemed to be out is stock until I ran into an employee named Mary. She was absolutely wonderful! She pulled apart numerous boxes in search for me only to find out she was actually off the clock and heading home for the weekend! She eventually found what I was looking for and did not seen fazed at all for helping me! I really hope that she is acknowledged for her spectacular customer service by her employer! THANK YOU MARY!!!!!! read more

Do not get artwork framed here. It is about the same price as going to a dedicated framing place. I had two items framed and the artwork does not lay flat in the frame. The coupons are meaningless - they just increase the base price so that the cost with coupon is at least in the ballpark of what it should be. read more

Customer service sucks and the lines are insane. If I wanted to go to a place where staff ran away from customers and acted like how dare we bother them, I could think of better places; Especially places where the shelves are actually stocked. read more

Why would anyone come here? Employees dont smile and last time there was broken glass all I've the floor from a vase. No one seemed to bother to clean up. read more

Rude employees and long, LONG lines. Got yelled at for testing markers by an extremely rude employee that threatened to throw me out of the store if I didn't go up and buy them before using them, AFTER asking me if I was testing them. Why do you think I'm testing the markers in the first place?! I was appalled. I left to go buy them somewhere else. Don't give them your money. Go to BLIK on Woodward or Joann instead, they should have what you're looking for in terms of art supplies and crafting. It's not worth putting up with employees like that, and judging by other reviews, it's a real problem that needs to be taken care of. I will not be going back. read more

Theresa! You make returns fun. It can be rare to receive customer service that comes with a positive attitude and a smile. Theresa was at the register and was helpful, pleasant and friendly. Definitely a 5-Star person. Every business needs a Theresa! read more

I am appalled at the behavior I witnessed today at Michaels. An employee by the name of Eric got so verbally violent with a customer I became fearful and left. The customer was questioning her coupon with her cashier (both customer and cashier were pleasant and joking around) when Eric who was ringing up another shopper interrupted their conversation telling the cashier she was doing everything wrong and telling the customer to "shut up, I'm dealing with the cashier right now" both cashier and customer became silent and tried to hurry thru the transaction. Eric again stopped them telling her she was wrong and when the customer asked another question, was again told to "shut up"There was no reason for him to jump into the conversation. The customer was very shaken and asked for the cashier to quickly finish her transaction as she was now embarrassed and uncomfortable being treated so poorly by Eric. At that time I put my purchase down and followed her out. I will be following up with corporate and will not shop here again. read more
