Michaels is a craft store offering an expansive assortment of supplies including art materials, fabric, yarn, frames, floral items, scrapbook materials, beads, and craft machines. It aims to be a place where customers can find everything to create anything. The store also provides party planning services with balloon inflation, decorations, and gift packaging. Customer experiences at the Oceanside branch vary. Some customers report wonderful service in specific departments, noting staff who are helpful, communicative, and creative in bringing special projects to life. For many, Michaels represents a creative paradise and a place of imagination, especially for families. However, other reviews indicate that customer service is not consistently strong. Some customers find it difficult to locate help in the store, often facing long waits and frustration. Assistance can be slow, and answers about product availability are sometimes disappointing. While the staff is generally noted as nice and the selection fairly good, some feel the store layout is confusing and the prices are not amazing.
Clean, bright, well stocked. Helpful staff direction. Great selection and options. Great 1st time experience

Friendly staff. They always offer to help at checkout. They are knowledgeable about discounts, sales, and coupons. I love browsing the seasonal section as there's always something new!

This store has a much larger selection of yarn than the Valley Stream store! We will be back again!
