I don't write many reviews online but in this case I think the company deserves it. I came to them with a request to have almost two dozen photographs framed for a gallery show that came up on short notice. They offered the best price of several gallery-quality framing stores I checked out (it included a first time customer discount, which some others were offering too) and offered the fastest turnaround time. Quite honestly, I was skeptical, as it sounded a little too good to be true. But I could not afford to pass up the savings, and other framing shops were not even sure they could commit to turning it around in less than 3 weeks.
In fact, they turned the job around in time in spite of delays that were my own fault. The opening of the show on schedule depended entirely on them, and they did not disappoint. As for the results, people with more experience than me in the art and photography business thought their work was very professional; there has not been a single issue with any of the framing jobs, and as I write this, they are hanging in an upstate New York gallery in a stunning exhibit of mid-20th century black and white photography.
Apart from the fact that 567 pulled it off and did a great job, they were very helpful with the choices of frames, glass and borders. Wendee, their salesperson at the Manhattan store, has good judgment and helped make the final product impressive. In no case did I feel like they were pressing me to make more costly choices, and in fact they kept to their initial price offer even after we made some choices that could have been out of the scope of the offer. The staff there was also very accommodating with my numerous special needs, from documenting to parking (it's now officially commercial parking only in front of the store).
So, bottom line, I would use them again - in fact, I will be headed back there soon with some other work - and recommend them without hesitation. My only caution to others regarding the Manhattan store, aside from the parking issue, is to be aware that the actual framing is done in their Brooklyn factory, so stay apprised of the delivery and dropoff schedule between stores. Be that as it may, after framing a few pictures as a proof of concept, they delivered two more batches exactly when they said they would, and one Wednesday afternoon I stopped in front of the store, picked up the remaining 19 framed pictures (with the very cordial assistance of Jack, the owner) and drove them up to the gallery to hang. The best price, great service, very professional work, and very nice people - a pretty rare combination, in my experience. read more
