He recommended a local top notch editor so that the photos that I selected would be most appealing to the eye. Joe was honest and gave me his professional advise during the frame selection to ensure that the final product exuded class. His advice and recommendations were paramount in achieving exactly what I had hoped in the end product. I highly recommend The Mitre Box and would seek Joe's expertise any day on any future project. Thanks, Joe!

Having previously used major retail outlets for framing, I wanted to give a local business a shot…read more Based on previous Yelp reviews and geographic convenience, I landed on Fairmount Framing. My experience was fairly brief but satisfying (that's what she said). My husband and I were serviced within 20 minutes. This included consultation on framing and type of glass. The owner has a keen eye for what looks good. We had our own ideas in mind, but he made a few suggestions to enhance the matting colors and frame selection. We weren't the only customers in the store, but he was able to work with each group simultaneously, but not disruptively for either group. Not being in a rush, the estimated ready date of under three weeks from drop off sounded perfect. The frames was ready as scheduled. As others noted, the prices were market standard. Ultimately, my posters came out beautifully framed and I was able to support a local business. Picture perfect.

Helped with selection; put it together; and rushed the job for a Birthday present. His assistant, Kim, is an artist. She can help you with every art supply you ever needed and how it is best used.

I love to look at all the new supplies. And, of course, always end up buying something.

Such a delightful place to shop!…read more Tucked into the sweet artsy Bellefonte neighborhood is this small but very active artist cooperative store. The shop represents a large variety of local artists, allowing them space within the shop, putting together street fairs and classes when these things are possible, and with online newsletters and social media presence. I was introduced to Bellefonte Arts by a friend who exhibits her handmade bears in the shop. Thanks to her I've now made multiple trips to the store, always finding something wonderful and unexpected, just what I hope to find when exploring a shop filled with the works of different artists. I highly recommend attending one of their craft fairs, which happen a few times per year. Sign up for the newsletter for details and dates, and get ready to fill all of your gift lists!

Having never been to this store before and new to the area, I went off the minimal, yet positive…read morereviews for this business, to get my two posters framed. I parked in a small lot and all I saw was a pizza place and a homeless dude sitting outside of another faded storefront. I left my poster tubes in the car to make sure I was in the right place. As I walked up to the storefront with the homeless dude, a silver pony-tailed guy channeling Jeff Goldblum literally jumped out of nowhere from behind to confront me about the parking lot being for customers only. Didn't say who he was or even ask if I needed help. He assumed I was walking away down the street. I asked him how he didn't know I had posters to frame. He said because I was walking to the sidewalk. Well...the handwritten sign inside the shop did have an arrow pointing to go around to the street side to ring the bell! Guess he forgot his own sign. After a minor spat over his adamant disbelief that I actually had posters to frame, I walked back to my car and "magically" produced two poster tubes. He sighed and put his hands up..."ahhhh, man...well, you wanna come in?" I laughed and justifiably called him a ....... for losing $600+ in business for making assumptions, when instead of asking if I needed help he assumed I was going to some other store down the street. He then said "I'm not really taking on new customers anyway." Riiiiight. No bare walls is certainly barren of any brains.

We've framed ourselves, and had a chain craft-store make a custom frame for us, but the results have always appeared amateurish, and you do get what you pay for. We've returned to Somerset for a wide variety of projects and have always had our expectations exceeded. Keith's new shop is low-profile, but he passes savings along, and we appreciate that, too. We were able to reach him after his move by using his original phone number: (610) 692-8765. The shop is now at 1342 West Chester Pike, West Chester, PA. 19382, on the south side of Rte. 3 between Valley Drive and Westtown Way. If you're looking for an artful eye for detail and personalized quality results we can recommend Somerset Studios.

But don't get me wrong, the pricing isn't obscene or anything. He has a huge selection of frames and I usually find myself checking out several that I really like before deciding on one. Some of the frame materials are fit for royalty, so if you have expensive tastes the selection here will oblige. Of course I'm satisfied with the cheaper - not cheesy - options as well (not everything belongs in a frame that looks like it was from Versailles) The owner's design sense has kept me from making a mistake on occasion, thus probably saving me money in the long run. I have to pass at least three framing shops to get to this one and I still go.
