The management of this store is more interested in dogmatic adherence to store policy rather than…read morethe resolution of reasonable complaints about products. I paid $96 for three packs of woodless colored pencils for their rich colors and their claim that they last longer than wood pencils. The product's claim although not stating specifically, suggests they are a more durable product than wood colored pencils. This helped to justify their cost. When my students started using them they were easily breaking compromising their long lasting claim and making them cost prohibitive. When I took them back the management said they will not issue a return because they were used. The questiion of how can they break if they aren't used was met with a reiteration of the store policy - we don't take back used items. I noted to the manager that the claim on the back of the package states that they last longer than wooden pencil. He looked at me with a straight face and stated that doesn't mean they don't break easily. And if I had asked him before buying them he would have told me that they break easily. I wondered how I was to ask a question about a problem that I didn't know existed? The customer service was so irrational and combative response that I wasn't able to believe that all the Plaza (now Blick) stores adhered to it. So I went to another Plaza store and indeed I was met with a much more understanding, reasonable and statisfactory response. The manager in this store understood the problem, agreed with it and issued me store credit. Vola! Problem solved and sanity restored Plaza, and I understand now Blick, have a strick return policy. I understand this. However, when the policy becomes dogma and reason is defied it is no fun to shop at this particular Plaza/Blick Art Supply store. I do not recommend it and will be going elsewhere for my art supplies.

They were having a sale on frames, but it appeared that everyone else had the same idea as I did, or maybe they all needed the same size as I did. Each area I would go to the size I needed was gone. With Michaels being one of the few stores where everything they have is on the shelves, I was out of luck here. I have to say, I was amazed, however, with the way they were able to cram a whole store into this space. It is not your conventional setup for a Michaels and they somehow managed to get the whole store in here.
