I needed to buy premade frosting and found that this location has a much larger party section and baking section. I came for icing and will return to peruse the supplies needed to bake, decorate, and transport the tasty foods. read more

Love their self-checkout machines! Just needed one item so it was easy to get in and get out. This location is well stocked and easy to navigate. It's the holiday season so there's tons of decor for that! Woot! read more

I needed some items for work so I decided to place a order for shipping, however with the holiday quickly approaching , I realized I wouldn't receive my items in time so I opted for pickup instead. The original location didn't have everything in my shipping order so I changed it to the Snowden River location which mostly had everything. It was actually ready pretty quickly and I went directly over there after work for pickup. I selected curbside, parked in the pickup slot, and someone quickly brought my items out to me. If I had my business card, I would have definitely went in and looked around but I decided to stay in my car and not spend any additional money. The person who brung my items out to me was courteous and quick. Successful pick up this was read more

They usually have what I needed Decor, picture frames, yarn, materials, materials for decorations to be done. Sewing supplies, crochet materials read more

This place is great! Choked full of all the crafts any crafter could desire. I was specifically looking for small seashells and starfish I could attach to a string/strand and eventually put in my hair. I wandered about the store looking for these items myself, but the place was too big and full of stuff for me to find what I was looking for. I quickly found a sales associate and explained what I wanted. She directed me to aisle 19 where I found the goldmine! Everything I imagined for my project was at this Michael's! I was only doing recon at the time, but I can't wait to go back and get what I need for my project. I loved it here! read more

3.19.22 Great store that has everything you need for your arts, crafts, home decor, and more. They often have merchandise on clearance after big holidays. During my recent visit yesterday, Valentine's items were 70% off. Be sure to check their website for coupons. Online order pickup is coming soon to this location and will be situated by the registers close to the exit. read more

Michaels - Starting the crafts again - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Love Michaels, what a great store. Clerks are rude. One attacked me verbally, blindly, doing nothing. Whatever happened to people being considerate and kind? Can't treat each other with basic human respect, what's the point of art making then? Art=healing. read more

Update for a few days later; So I was originally right, my purchase did go through double (but off by .02 cents for some reason, so I can't dispute it as a duplicate charge) so now I have to make the 30 minute drive back up there to somehow have a manager refund my money. Probably the same manager who assured me I was wrong and that it would not post to my account. Thanks so much for the hassle that I do not need. I'd like my money back but I work full time and have horses to take care of after work, so I don't get home til around 8/9PM most days and I start my work day at 7:30. I'll have to miss work to get this sorted or wait til the weekend which will be a week without my money. read more

I ordered a custom frame online then went to drop my antique map at the store. The frame I chose online was not the same color in person. The clerk had me double check my order and that is how I found out. She then showed me better options and spent a lot of time finding discounts to keep the price down. She was incredible. read more

I actually worked for Hobby Lobby for close to 3 years as a GM so I rarely ever step foot in a Michaels. I now feel guilt free at stepping into the establishment. I absolutely love crafting and spend a pretty penny on crafting and cricut supplies in general. The store was clean and well stocked. Prices are a little high, but I know that if you're a bargain hunter you usually don't shop unless there is a sale going on or a really good coupon. Everything was easy to find. I actually found out the app allows you to locate items in the very store you're in! The store was pretty empty as it was close to closing. Overall great supply and variations in products especially Cricut Vinyl! read more

Michaels - Store by registers - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

This store was stocked pretty well. Went with my sister and child. Found everything ok, bathrooms were... Well used? However when we finally got to check out there were several employees stocking nearby the registers, the one cashier working had an online problem. And there was only self checkout. Which my sister cannot use. This store is not properly setup for self checkout. She kept getting walked around and ignored by employees. We walked out. Calling corporate. It's rediculous. read more

I went to the Framing area. Costumer service was amazing! Don B. Was knowledgeable, very polite and very helpful.

I love stopping here and looking through all the art aisles. I can always find something for my next project and the employees here are very helpful. read more

I was at the Michaels in Columbia today and I had the worst experience. I will never go back there. The cashier was rude and did not want to do her job. I had $150.00 worth of merchandise in my cart and I had to walk out because the cashier wouldn't help me and was rude. I will never go back there. read more

I went in today to pick up a few art supplies and had trouble finding the paintbrushes I was looking for. I wish I could have asked an employee for help- which was my first problem. I couldn't find a single employee despite wandering around the store multiple times. You know it's bad when you have to team up with other customers just to find what you're looking for and vice versa :/ Then checkout. I gave up looking after many passes through the store as I'd been there for almost an hour and still hadn't found the brushes or an employee that wasn't at the checkout. The brushes were available in-store according to their website. I brought my own reusable bag and the cashier checking me out didn't bag up my items and wouldn't take no for an answer when asking to sign up for their membership. I said no at least five times before being met with 'yeah, whatever'. I ended up having to scramble to put my things in my bag myself because there was a line and only one other cashier working, who conveniently disappeared when the line began to build up. Left feeling not great about my experience. I can say that both employees I saw were wearing masks properly, if that's something you care about. Also their shopping carts were falling apart and unusable. I think I'll find another craft shop to frequent from now on. read more

This review is specifically for the Manager of this store. She is a Caucasian Women, long ponytail, heavy set. I went here to pick up a package dropped off by UPS. Please note, I have been in contact with UPS for the past 3 days regarding this package because I did NOT want it to go to this store. UPS informed me on 3 separate occasions that the package was already at the store. I also had confirmation on the app that it is at this store. Please also note, I took an Uber to get to this store. As I stand in line this "Manager" clocks in on the register and says "Step down sir" which I assume is her way of saying "next in line". I inform her that I'm here to pick up a package and I'm immediately met with this attitude as if she doesn't want to be bothered with this. She opens the cabinet and scans with her eyes never touching a single package while asking "when did you get the delivery notification " Which I replied "yesterday" she then (again without going through any of the packages) turn around and tells me "it's not here, if you got it yesterday". I informed her numerous time, I have confirmation it's been delivered. She then picks up a scanner and checks through it and say again my package isn't there. I informed her that I've been here last week for the same thing and it wasn't scanned previously and another associate looked in the back of the store and located my package. She continued to argue that it's not here if it's not been scanned without any attempt to look for my package. At this time I asked for a manager which she replies I am the Manager. After informing her over and over again and showing her my phones UPS App saying it is at this store. And her challenging me "where I got my confirmation from", she FINALLY turns around and actually looks in the cabinet. "How big is the package" she says "It's a small package" I replied She then turns around with this disgusted look on her face and say "how big is small" as if I measured the package I have yet to receive... After 45 SECONDS OF LOOKING, she finds my package and tries to excuse her bad customer service by saying the box "should have been scanned" and it's "supposed to get scanned" TO HERSELF!! Never directly talking to me just repeating these statement to herself, not once looking me in my face to say "I was wrong." When I'm reality if she would have taken 45 SECONDS to ACTUALLY look for it she would have found it without embarrassing me WHILE holding up a line of people. I can't imagine how many people have been turned away and had to make unnecessary trips to this location because she couldn't be bothered to actually do her job. For a manager, this is extremely unprofessional and baffling that she rather argue than make the SMALLEST ATTEMPT to help a customer. From start to finish, the interaction I had with this lady was completely rude and disrespectful. I hope I never have to deal with this person ever again and I will for now on be requesting help from anyone but her. Do better. read more

I've frequented this location a few times and each time has been worse as I come back. It seems that every time I come, they never have what I'm looking for. But the real cherry on top this time was that the worker was incredibly rude to me. I asked if she had the Wonton in a Million products out yet because I could not find them. She kept condescending me instead of trying to help me find the item. I hate to leave bad reviews and I love michaels and frequent very often. But I will more than likely not be returning to this location. read more

Been to a few of these stores, and have made several visits to this particular one. While I find that they usually have what I'm looking for, they never seem to have enough cashiers working. Why is that? I get cost margins and such, but at least have two cashiers, especially on a weekend morning when the parking lots is full and you have customers. Perhaps this is what drives us all online to places like Amazon and such... read more

Do not get custom framing or matted frames here. I waited an hour the first time due to "computer issues" and then returned to wait again and be told more "computer issues," the staff is polite but their ability to provide customer service is hampered by their ineffective technology. read more

COVID CESSPOOL! DO NOT ENTER IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH! Two customers standing behind us in checkout. One not wearing a mask; the other with mask under nostrils. We asked them to socially distance and pull up/put on their masks. They refused and became verbally abusive. We asked for a manager. After many minutes an employee came up from the back and asked the women to properly wear masks. THEY REFUSED! The employee told us that they could not force the women to wear masks. I left the store, leaving my wife in line. I called the Howard County Health Department. They advised that calling the non-emergency police number for the county should have been done. After the fact, no report can be filed. The Howard County Health Department advised that I call Michaels Corporate Office today. A very nice woman called me back and told me that they could do nothing to enforce the mandate but that employees are stationed to advise and hand out masks. None of this was happening in the store. NONE OF THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH! The women should have been told to leave the store. The Howard County Health Department is aggressive in enforcing the mandate and have closed other retail stores in Howard County for violations. I will NEVER go into a Michaels again and will take this as far as I can. In the meantime, no matter how important decorating your door, lawn or tree is to you, order online from a company that supports your health. read more

I adore any Michael's I walk into, but this particular location has blown me away numerous times. It's such a large store and offers a bigger variety than most Michael's in the area. I'm a painter--- so more often than not I can be found roaming the canvas and paint isles. Everything is very clearly laid out and organized in an easy-to-find way. They have an entire wall of sketch books that are organized by brand and size. They have canvases from 4x4 to ones that could take up the whole space of my garage door! The staff is knowledgeable and hospitable. I never feel as though I'm asking a dumb question! The cashier's are humorous and ready to ensure a fun exit. This is by far my favorite Michael's, and I've been to nearly a dozen over the past ten years! The staff, organization of the products, location of the building, they all come together to create a wonderful atmosphere for creative shopping. 10/10! read more

Nice selection of items. Was able to easily find an associate to send me in the right direction. Only one register open on a Friday night. Luckily there didn't seem to be too many shoppers. Well stocked and plenty of parking read more

Line was 50 people deep with only two registers open, wife found manager in back hiding.

Today I went to retrieve my curbside pick up order at the Columbia Michaels store , While waiting outside I realized that they were very busy. I phoned the store and they asked me to come to the cashiers-no problem, happy to do that ,everyone was scrambling around to help me even though the cashier line was long (I was feeling guilty about this )When we couldn't seem to find my order anywhere it was confusing . Turns out that I placed the order at the Ellicott city store! So embarrassing!! the staff was SO kind to me and they didn't have to be. Above & Beyond Thank you Columbia Michael's read more

Extremely poor customer service no sales reps and no one has an great attitude to help you find anything... don't waste your time or money just go to joanns read more

Hire more help around the holidays. 20 people in line and only one cashier? I guess customer service isn't a thing.

I like the actual store because it has a variety of crafting items. There's always at least one coupon you can use here. There are a few people who work here that are very nice and helpful. That being said, there are plenty of annoyed or snobby cashiers. It would be nicer if they'd stop sighing every time I asked a question or if I wanted to use my phone to have them scan a coupon. How about not interrogating my husband and I when we want to use two credit cards to purchase items so we can use two coupons? We ARE two separate people! read more

Columbia, MD store: Worst customer service. Every. Single. Time. I always shop at HOBBY LOBBY, because the staff at Michael's are never helpful and the checkout line is always so long. I went there today -only- to accompany my mother. No one asked if we needed help the entire time. When we asked for help the girl could offer no answers about products or options. As we were shopping the same girl started ripping the sale signs off of the section we were in. We asked "Why?" and she replied with "Ugh, because we have to. The sale is over." Meanwhile her coworker walks by laughing. We asked if the sale was ending now, because it was only 7:30pm, and she rolled her eyes saying "No, it goes until close. The sales change tomorrow." And as we were talking about it she literally walked away! Meanwhile the checkout line is backed up to the middle of the store with one register open. Finally a guy who was stocking and actually DOING his job came up to relieve the line. Absolutely ridiculous, that these two staffers would rather walk around and bounce balls than help customers or their fellow employees. I will never step foot in there again, and my mother will not be shopping their either. Or the rest of my family and friends for that matter. read more

The framing department will make the daunting task of choosing mats very easy. I met Adriana and Lorena and they solved all my framing issues. I needed mats and a total picture in frame build. They solved the dilemma and I am reminded every time I look at my art. Thanks so much ladies. New Customer read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Went for costom framing of an original artwork. Don, the framer who attended me provided friendly and professional service + very helpful inputs on frame and mat color/texture choices. I am very pleased with the outcome. Holiday discounts also was a plus. read more

The framing department is terrible. Took 2 pieces of art to get framed. They screwed up one of them. I had to take it back to get redone. I called several times to check on the status and no one ever called me back. It took them over a month to get it back to me. When they finally did, it was still a sloppy job. Go somewhere else if you can. read more

Not dog-friendly like it was last year. I had to make a quick return and was stopping by the petsmart across the road in the other shopping center, which is obviously pet friendly. So I decided to bring my dog with me assuming that both places were friendly - I got stopped by a Michael's employee who told me dogs weren't allowed inside even before I even made it in the doors. They should have signs posted up if dogs aren't allowed at certain Michael's. As mentioned before last year, I was able to go into the store no problem with my dog. I will never return to this Michael's again just because I had to lock my dog in my hot car for approximately 10 mins just to make a return. What a bunch of jerks. read more

Wonderful framing services. The attendant even spent 30 minutes helping my daughter tie slip knots for a necklace we had just purchased, even though the task had nothing to do with framing. read more

Had a pleasant experience here a few days ago. Went with a co-worker to make spring wreaths for our moms as a gift. They allowed us to use their classroom to put everything together and then pay after with our saved tags. An employee there, Ronda (I believe was her name), went out of her way to help us and very very nice! Even came to check on us a few times and helped locate items. read more

I love this store! They have an endless supply of craft products. I could spend days looking at all the options. They have coupons all the time, and their prices aren't too bad to begin with. They also have a little section up by the registers of seasonal things usually that are being sold really cheaply and I always get to leave with fourth of July themed cupcake holders or Christmas notepads etc. everyone that works there is pleasant as well. read more
