They have been in business for 3 generations and the whole family is involved - they really care about quality framing and have a huge array of frames and will help you choose something outstanding. This is one of the very best framing shops in the Triad area, and well worth the drive if you're not from High Point.

Pen and Pillar is one of my favorite small businesses that has opened in High Point. Located at the…read morecorner of N Main and Lexington, it's the perfect spot for them! They are a woman owned and founded business that features handmade stationary, cards, recipe books, notepads, small givers, jewelry, candles and more. It's the perfect spot to pick up a gift for a coworker, a loved one or a friend. The cost reflects the handmade quality, but everything is worth the price. I love the variety of gifts and it's the perfect place to peruse on a Saturday afternoon. A little note, all artwork is hand illustrated by the owner, Taylor, and "10% of our proceeds are donated to local refugee resettlement, and all our products are produced in the USA on paper that's kind to the earth." The quote is from their website, https://penandpillarshop.com. I love this place and will continue to support them. We need more business like them, that truly care about their effect on the environment and in society.

I love finding unique card to send to my family, friends and for birthdays. They design most of the cards sold here and I believe they told me they have classes there to for making cards. I found lovely gifts for my friends birthday and stocked up on my cards since they had a deal for mix and match for their brand cards if you purchase a certain amount at a time.

My wife and I were in the area and stumbled upon the frame store. We have been in the market for a…read moreframe for a special piece of art and asked the employee if we could get a price and he asked if we had the artwork with us. We told him we knew the exact size and we're looking for an idea on cost. The employee stated he could not give us a price unless we had the artwork bc the art could be made of different materials. We tried to tell him it's photo paper and nothing special but he just seemed like no was his final answer. Poor customer service, all we wanted was to explore the options of a nice frame for a recently deceased dog.

Swing by cause I wanted to browse and sip on my pistachio coffee. I haven't been to Hobby Lobby in…read moresuch a long time! I knew I wanted to find more wall pieces for my office. The store is huge and literally have any and everything you need for you home, craft items, furniture and out door area. I truly got lost and really enjoy my time getting lost. Nothing like air pods on and just being in your own zone. I did find some items, two metal leaf pieces for my office wall and a spoon holder for the kitchen. Prices is very reasonable and always some type of sale also. Parking is plenty, you will not have any issues since it's in a huge shopping center area. The store was super organized and clean. I really appreciate that, makes it so easy to find items or themes your looking for! This is literally the spot for redoing any room in your home!

Hobby Lobby is hit or miss for me. They offer a massive variety of home decor, lots of variety and…read moreseasonal decor for every holiday (except Halloween). They also offer lots of goods for any hobby, sewing, painting, jewelry making, model making, scrapbooking, and just about anything else you can think of. My main complaint is the quality of some of their goods, many things like picture frames have gone down hill in quality steadily over the years, I'm sure as they attempt to get lower and lower costs, but all they're doing is passing g the lower quality on to their customers. On this visit, we bought a picture frame, got home opened it up, and it was too flimsy to even hold what we bought it for. Another annoying detail is their weekly sales. It seems everything in the store is generally on sale for 40-50% off every other week. So if you go to buy something and it's not on sale, it probably will be in a few days. They are clearly making a profit even when things are on sale, I wish they would just offer the sale pricing all the time. Stop playing the annoying game One last complaint, bringing out Christmas decor for sale in August is simply too much. All that being said, you can certainly get some decent deals on decorations and decor, just beware of quality

Stopped in for my wife to make an exchange, but I also needed to find some silver leaf for a…read moreproject...unfortunately, my wife was unable to make the exchange because no one working the registers could figure out how to do it, and the manager was "too busy" to come to the front of the store. While she was wasting time at the front I went I. Search of the silver leaf foil, which was no easy task. I had no idea where it would be and could not even find an employee to help me. After about a p minutes I finally found someone on my he floor that could only describe where it was, but could not be bothered to walk me back to it. When I eventually found it, I realized it was a solid 3x more expensive than Hobby Lobby for the same product. Nevertheless, that was the end of that visit, and we headed for hobby lobby. Needless to say, we won't bother shopping here anymore. As much as I don't like Hobby Lobby, the customer service here, and the inability to make transactions on the register is not worth the headache...nor is their blatant price gouging. Not sure how they've survived this long, but they will not get out business any long.

Good selection, but frustrating shopping experience. Many of the prices aren't clearly marked,…read moreespecially on sale and clearance items. There is a price checker in the store, but the cable is cut on it so it does not work. When I spoke to an associate, she said that they are encouraging people to use the app for price checking. So, I downloaded the app and didn't immediately see how to price check in it. I work with technology for a living, so usually I can navigate systems pretty well. However, the path to the price checker is through the search bar, and then the small scan icon in the top right. There is no button that says price check, or anything that would be obvious to a typical app user. The associate helping me find the price check in the app seemed less than thrilled to help. I think it's because she frequently gets this question and that suspicion was confirmed when I spoke to some other customers while we were in line who were also had negative experiences. So, after having downloaded the app, I went back to attempt to price check the items. Only about half of them came up with prices when I scanned them. So, I took a cart of mystery items to the front. When in line, the cashier said multiple times to the line that they can use self check out. However, that was not an option for me because the prices were very much up in the air, and I wasn't going to go alone at self check out and hope for the best. Overall, I think that there's an opportunity for Michael's to cater to the (older) demographic that shops there by offering a simple to use price checker in the store. At bare minimum, they need to work on their app design. In terms of the store, layout and general quality of merchandise, it was a very typical experience when it comes to craft stores. The full price items were incredibly expensive and the clearance items, once I found out how much they were, were incredibly inexpensive. So, put on your math hat, download the app, and be ready for a slightly frustrating experience if you want to shop here.
