I have always enjoyed this location over most of the ones I have been to. The f layout of the…read morestore just makes sense and it makes things really easy to find. As with all craft stores such as Michael's, the pricing on most every product is very reasonably priced which makes it a whole lot easier to want to do crafting. Selection wise they do pretty good to be honest. The only real difficult thing to find is allot of items for Cricut machines as well as others that are past of a niche market. Not to mention products like this are expensive anyhow. All said and done, this is probably my favorite store (Wether it is the wife going on or myself).

I had purchased a $100 rotary blade cutter from this location. I was intending on using it for thin…read morepaper and it just ripped the paper instead of cutting it. I went in last night 7/19/25 around 7:50pm to return it. The man behind the counter did not appear to want to help anyone. I asked to do a return and he asked what was wrong. I told him what happened and he said he needed to call a manager. She said because I had used it I could not return it. I said their policy states if I am unhappy with my purchase I can return it within 60 days with the receipt. I only attempted to use it. Obviously I was not happy with my purchase since it didn't work for what I needed it for. She still declined my return so I left and called the Lakewood store. I asked about the return policy and told them what happened and they said they didn't understand why Lacey would not allow me to do a return. I had to drive 40 min to return my item. From now on I'll drive 40 min to spend my money. Lacey customer service is trash and they will not be receiving my business anymore.

Always friendly and helpful. They stock Amsterdam paint and plenty of other supplies.read more

But considering Mother Earth falls victim to inhabitants of materialism and sadly a disposable society, my views have changed. I inquired about Value Village's donation process which aligned with my views. After a month on the sales floor, items are bundled and shipped to third world countries. My family has been sponsoring a Kenyan family and it's the right thing to do even if we eat cheap ramen to make it happen. The manager was super nice, explaining available rewards as well as discounts days! I felt the prices were fair, and an abundance of treasures awaited to find new homes. Great place to upcycle.
