A chaotic, but interesting, home decor store. If you're looking for *something* or want to…read moreredecorate an area and have a vague idea of what you want, HomeGoods is where you want to be. As the store only carries one or two copies of every individual item they have, you can never really be "sure" they're going to have what you have in mind. I'd never come here if I'm looking for a very specific and exact item. Instead, the fun of HomeGoods is that everything is so unique. Having one copy of everything frees of way more space to have way more variety. You can get faux plants, dinnerware and kitchen supplies, kid's decor, pet supplies, mugs and other drinkware, furniture, gigantic rugs, gourmet pre-packaged treats, pillows and blankets and other soft bedding, mirrors, wall art, and seasonal stuff. Prices aren't particularly cheap. I'd say they're decently mid-range for home decor stores like this unless you catch things on clearance. When they're clearancing out items, you can get some *really* nice deals. Because of the "one copy of items" thing, the store can regularly feel pretty cluttered - and you should make sure that your potential item isn't damaged or anything before purchase. Expect to spend a freakishly long amount of time in this moderately-sized store just because there's *so* much stuff to look at on every shelf. Items are organized by area/use, though, so if you're only looking for blankets, all blanket options will be in the same area (same with mugs, journals, etc.) Staff is generally decently friendly. Check-out can be a bit slow (mostly because of all of the breakable items) depending on what time of day you come.

They have a little bit of everything to help you with your project. Plumbing supplies, light bulbs, Benjamin Moore paint dept, shovels, rakes, pesticides, electrical repair items etc etc. Will you find a whole aisle of flooring options or shower stalls to buy- no. But how often do people need these things. Save yourself the time next time you need just a few things and come here. Close parking and service from people who know what they are talking about. And they offer to help you- no hunting them down while they try to avoid you. Will prices be a bit more-yes. But remember you are supporting a locally owned business. I have shopped here over the years for paint, plumbing repair parts, yard waste bags, rakes And much more.

The employees have always been nice at a minimum. Today I was greeted by an unprofessional employee. She was angry because I lose my words sometimes since my stroke. On her third try asking for a receipt I asked her what part of no doesn't she understand? On her second attempt she abandoned me and went to the office pouting. Then came back for her 3rd try. She proceeded to make rude facial expressions from the time I walked. I asked for help moving the return from my truck inside. I said it was heavy but couldn't get the name to come out due to Aphasia. I told her the exchange product was labeled with my name. She continued to give me dirty looks. So I asked her if she was hungover or something because she was being a "bitch". She responded I don't drink. Then she made a performance of telling the normal young lady via radio that she didn't want to help me. So I loudly said to the other employee who was nearing the back of the store that I didn't want her help. The other 2 employees said you can't call someone that. I said "not only can I call her a bitch, I'll continue to call her one as long as she acts like one. I n the previous 6 weeks I've been in this store at least 3 times a week and never had an issue. A lady who identified herself as the manager said in an offensive tone that she would be calling the main manager today. I responded with go ahead he knows me and if he likes I'll give him a transcript of our conversation from my hearing aids. In loud places I turn on TTY so I can understand what is being said. And showed her. She just feigned disinterest. Epic Fail #harborfreight

I found the pet supplies pretty quickly and I bought a dog chain for a fair price. We needed some ant poison and were looking around. A gentleman asked if he could help us locate something and showed us where it was. My star rating would have been at least a 4 of not for the checkout experience. The lady didn't greet us when we walked up. She kept talking, practically yelling conversation to a customer who was half way across the store. I would give a name but she didn't have a name tag. She rang up all my stuff and still didn't say anything. Told me the price. No please. Gave me my receipt and a dry thank you. Nothing fantastic. I got what I needed. Goes to show that customer service really means a lot. Smiley happy people are important. As a employee in retail you are paid to smile and be nice.

Despite coming here on a regular basis, I realized I've never reviewed this place - and it deserves…read morea nice, 5-star review. It wasn't until I hit a couple of the other Michaels' locations in the state that I realized how awesome this particular location is. The staff here has never been anything other than great. They're usually busy with stuff, so they aren't particularly amazing at *seeking* you out to ask how you're faring, but if I've ever approached one of them with questions about how to do a craft or where to find something, they seem really happy to help and usually will take me to the exact spot. Most of the employees seem super knowledgeable about various crafts too. The store itself is super clean and modern, too. It's a relatively new building, and it shows. Everything is always in its place, and while it might take a bit to find exactly where I think something should be, I always go "of course it's right there!" when I figure out what section it's in. The bathrooms are really clean, and the employees seem to do a fantastic job of cleaning up errant items. When I've occasionally put down a couple of my items to use the restroom, I'll come back to find them cleaned up already. (Which is annoying, admittedly, but still, great attention to cleanliness on the part of the staff) Check-out is the only time where you might have to wait a bit. The staff is always good about calling for back-up when the lines get long, but just due to the coupons and the usually-tiny nature of items that people pick up, it can take a little bit for each person in line to check-out. Like all hobby stores (which I still find to be an odd practice), Michaels offers 40% or 50% off various parts of the store on different weeks. You can usually wait out for particular sections to go on sale in order to take advantage of the better prices (though baking supplies seem to be very rarely discounted). Every week, they usually have a 40/50% off any regularly-priced item coupon available on their website that you can use, and on special occasions, they run one-day sales where you can get 20% off your total purchase including sale items. I'll admit Hobby Lobby is a bit bigger and has a better selection of various things due to the larger store. However, I've always found that Michael has a whole lot better selection, and it's open on Sunday. (Plus, depending on your political views, shopping at Michaels means not supporting Hobby Lobby)

I purchased two purple pillows ($239.99 each) and was not told up front by the salesperson, Fred,…read morethat they had a LATEX core. We were, also, not told up front that they were not returnable, which I should have asked about in the first place, in case the loft of the pillows was not appropriate for my neck. One pillow was left unopened in the box, and the pillow I chose to try out has a defect in the purple grid. I let the pillow air out for almost a week in order to be able to sleep on it, due to the chemical smell. The morning after I slept on it, I had a blister and rash on my face, as well as, a severe headache and stuffed sinus. I went over the paperwork and discovered that the core of the pillow is LATEX, which, again, I should have either checked into first, or should have been told about up front. I contacted the store to share my story. The salesperson from whom I purchased the pillow was not in that day, but the man with whom I spoke assured me that they would take the "unopened" pillow back, but not the other pillow because it had been opened and used, even if it did have a defect. He would have the manager contact me. I would have to contact "Purple" regarding the defective pillow. I did just that. A Purple representative told me I had to deal directly with the store from which I purchased the pillows. If I had purchased the pillows through their store online, there would not be any problem, but being as I purchased them through a store, the store's policies took precedence. My husband then called the store to tell them "Purple" would not take back the defective pillow and to ask if they would let me exchange the defective pillow. The girl with whom he spoke said that she would have to check with the manager about the defective pillow, but assured my husband that they WOULD take back the unopened pillow. She would have the manager call us. This was the second time my husband and I had been told that the manager would contact us. We decided to drive the hour to the store, and the first thing we did upon arrival was to ask to see the manager, Kevin. We both explained the situation and he just kept saying "No, we won't take them back; It's our store policy." I stated that he might want to share with his employees that they might want to explain the policies to the customers at the time of sale. He came at me with, "Now, you're trying to tell me how to do my job." I explained that that was not the case. I stated that we were told we would receive a phone call from him, the manager two separate times, but never did, and that evidently there must be a problem with communication. That didn't sit very well with him, so I just said, "I'm done here," and started walking out the door. I don't find it helpful to engage in arguments. He was still yelling at me when we walked out the door. My recommendation is to purchase household furnishing from small town businesses or upscale businesses such as McGowans or places that treat their customers with gratitude and respect.
