If you're into well curated,eclectic and quality "stuff,"then this is the place to go. Owner and staff are knowledgeable and super helpful and everyone is made to feel welcome.

I went to Discount Art Supplies and Framing to find a frame for a 48" x 48" piece of art that I…read morebought from the Florida Artist, Anthony Burks, a few years ago. I was recommended by the Mill Pond Curator to visit the shop. I wasn't sure if it was open or not on Easter Sunday from the way it looked outside because the windows were mostly covered by canvases. I walked in and was taken aback by how much there was in the store. There was a lot of stuff stacked on top of each other but definitely organized. So I was thinking that I've found my local art supply store after walking around the store to see what all they had as inventory. I ended at the frame moulding near the back of the store and picked up a couple of moulding corners to inquire and receive quotes. I was walking to the counter near the register and was told (by someone I assumed the owner) to leave the molding over at the wall area and tell him what I am framing so that he can give me a quote. I found it odd because in order to get a frame quote, you never need to know what a person is framing although it can help to ask if the person doesn't know. I informed that I just want a frame and it doesn't matter what I am framing exactly but I do need just a quote. He asked me to tell him what I am framing. I informed him it wasn't required but I need a quote. He let me know that he can't help me with a quote if I don't tell him what I am framing. At this point, I had already put the moulding corner sample back on the stack of boxes. I let him know "thanks" but I wouldn't be back since he can't help me. ‍ Basically, the store was quite organized but super overstocked with inventory, etc., and their customer service sucked.

I have been here many times in the past year. The store is divided into 3 sections/areas (arts and…read morecrafts, equipment (like drawing tools, different kinds of paper and paint) and framing). The people working there are very nice. It's appearance on the inside can give a little bit of sensory overload (in terms of the colors in different areas in the store). However, they carry varying amounts of supplies so you might have to go online to buy them if items are not available in store. BTW 1) They have a point card where you could get 10% off each time you purchase something and collect the amount you paid (ex. Pay $15 = 15 points). 2) When you are shopping online, you will get free shipping if you buy things that add up to $39 or more.

My absolute favourite art supplies store of all time. First of all, the staff are amazing. They've…read morebeen consistently helpful and friendly since I started going there in 2002. Obviously a change in staff, but the manager has been around for a long time and a couple staff members had stayed and have been amazing and funny! Seriously, I used to just hang out here as a kid because it's an art store, I'm an artist and the staff is great. It's a very clean store. They always have what I need and things I didn't know I needed. The prices are far superior to Michael's and better than Curry's. Plus the discounts are great and the rewards program is solid too. Oh and did I mention it's animal friendly? I can take my dog for walks in Petsmart and Deserres, Oh and also the customer bathroom is pretty cool. And free bags, who needs to pay a nickel for a bag? All in all, it's a great store. One of my favourite hangout spots, I can test my markers and pencils and all that and talk to awesome staff.

Located inside a cute heritage home, Cork House is a niche store deep inside a newly developed area…read moreof Oakville. This retail space inside of a home, tucked behind a new strip mall focuses on, what else but cork! Think: Coasters, wine bags, fabric (who knew?), clothing, shoes & purses like you'd see in Portugal, & flooring. The primary reason why anyone would visit, I'd think, is to check out the cork flooring. That's why I was there! Salesman was very friendly and informative about his product. He even let me sign out a sample piece of 1' X 3' slate of flooring. I haven't priced out their competition, re: hardwood or even laminate, but the piece I got was $5.15sq'. I'm undecided, but I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you're even thinking about installing cork flooring! You'll be surprised by the results which are actually installed all around the house itself.

It is set up a little different than others. The staff at this location are really helpful and nice! I asked for some help (a few times actually) and they were more than willing to look around the store for me. I also liked that they let me use more than one coupon - won't say which person let me because well, I wanna keep doing it obviously! Haha! I like the location of this store also, it's in an area with a bunch of other department stores and it is easy to navigate around the plazas. I basically spent a good majority of my day in Burlington looking for wedding related items in multiple different stores here! I always find what I need at this Michaels and I will certainly be coming back again! I like it better than my regular location in Ancaster.
