I have been working with Richard for 10+ years, and brought him at least $10k of business. I had a…read morespecial 3-D project I was working on, and even showed him the frame photos. I gave him a print-out of the angular panes I needed in glass (see photo). I'm not sure how much clearer I could have been, but you be the judge. I walked him through it in detail, explaining each number and what they meant. I assumed he could either do it, or send it to someone who could. They came back as rectangles (see photo). He offered me no refund for his error, not even the spread between what I paid and his cost. He could've easily taken back the two 45" x 32" glass panes, which could've been used for other clients without issue. Instead, he cheated a long time customer out of $1750 without so much as an expression of regret.

I do a lot of silk embroidery. Each piece takes me up to a year. There are few places left in America that know how to frame work like this, but Total Framing is one. They do an EXCEPTIONAL job. Today, I have a large silk scarf I am bringing to them to frame and I've no doubt they'll do their usual brilliant work. These are people you can trust with anything.

I greatly enjoyed working with Kaily, a framer with technical expertise and terrific aesthetic sensibility. With Kaily's assistance I was able to compare frame styles and materials, mat colors and combinations, glass choices and sealing techniques. Kaily offered great suggestions that really moved us along from discussing my vague ideas to making decisions that moved the project steadily closer to the attractive and thoughtfully framed pieces I hoped for. I never felt rushed. I felt very welcome in the studio shop. The staff (owner and associates) worked as a team to bring the project together. My artworks are beautifully framed using quality materials that enhance and protect the pieces. The framing materials and style coordinate with my living room decor in a harmonious way. The process was creative and exciting, and I'm truly delighted with the finished set of framed prints. Sincere thanks to all at Design Frames!

The staff is always friendly and helpul. I like the member discounts too. I'd go with five stars for Plaza but for two li'l reasons I'll stick with 4: - they don't stock Staedler graphite pencils, and I just can't do General graphites. - some of the colors of Holbein gouache paint have been out of stock for a while. In all fairness, this might be because these Holbeins aren't currently available from Plaza's distributor. But I keep coming back!

For professional artists, this store has everything you could ever want but I found the store just as enchanting as a casual browser. I especially loved all the unique craft kits that allow children to make everything from mini food to erasers to galaxies. As a stationary lover, I was impressed with their Japanese notebook and pen selection, as well as cute kawaii accessories like a leather cat pencil case which is now my daughter's most treasured possession. The store was clean and the workers were friendly. I'll definitely be back the next time I am in the area!

If you care about your art, run (don't walk) to Art Frame Solutions! After considering multiple…read moreframing shops, we walked into this gem and instantly knew we were in the right place. Leslie was juggling another customer when we arrived, but instead of being annoyed, I was fascinated--watching her expertly guide someone through the framing process was like witnessing a masterclass. By the time it was our turn, I had zero doubts we were in great hands. We brought in a gold-on-cowhide Garuda from Thailand and had a vision: two panes of glass with a sleek, minimal frame. Leslie was meticulous, explaining every step, recommending plexiglass over glass, and even hunting down a hard-to-find frame to complete the look. When my husband spotted a small area that needed repair, she reassured us that Omer, the conservator, would handle it with care. Fast forward 1.5 months--Garuda is back, beautifully repaired, mounted, and framed to perfection. They went above and beyond, and we couldn't be happier. Forget those big-box stores with their clueless student workers--if your art matters, Art Frame Solutions is the only place to go!
