It's getting tougher and tougher to find a frame shop you can count on to offer both good work and…read moreprices you can afford. It's not that they're all out to rob you, I don't think, it's just a more-expensive business than it used to be. And too many of them rely on prominent locations to get noticed. That real estate comes with (literally) a cost. Enter Garrett's Framing Studio. They're in a small strip mall set back not just from a main road but from a side street, too. They have a big suite with plenty of space, and they do a ton of work in-house. I found this out after realizing I not only had a backlog of stuff I've been wanting to frame, but would actually have a little wall space again after giving a few things away. I contacted a few places to see about prices and services, and none of them really got back that quickly (Garrett's included). These guys ended up being my first phone call after all my emails went nowhere, and he quickly walked me through a few ways to finish my projects for less money than I might have thought. Instant interest. I ended up framing a couple things myself with store-bought kits, and put all my focus on a nice piece that's been rolled up for a couple years, waiting for attention. Garrett was behind the counter when I brought it in. He had already juggled emails and phone calls from me as well as an email from my sister about buying me a gift certificate to put toward the project. He walked us through all the matte and frame options, with tons of creative input and advice on criteria to use while deciding. But it was all very low-key, and he never acted like he was the only person in the room who knew anything about framing. He even noticed that the piece was signed, without having to have that pointed out, and adjusted the matte size accordingly. We picked something in under 10 minutes, and he offered advice on the most cost-effective glass for the piece. The price is still a little higher than an old geezer like me is used to, but that's geezer life for ya. He ended up being super-responsive on email once the project was underway, and proactive, too--always thoughtful with communication. I picked up my piece a couple weeks later, as promised, and it's hanging now just across from the desk in my office. I couldn't be happier. I've always liked having framed stuff around the house, to the point where now I have all the stuff I can handle. It's awesome to be able to add one more. And now I have a go-to frame shop as well...just in case I buy a bigger house or something.

Garrett definitely has a knack and an eye for picking the frame and matte. The artwork colors pop and just look fabulous. I could not be more happy. Garrett was easy to work with taking his time and making suggestions(of which I would have never put together). Great experience framing, great guy, wonderful results. Highly, highly recommend.

I can't say he would be able to do all projects as fast as he did mine but it was finished within two days, at most three. Simply incredible!

I've read several negative comments about the employees. Perhaps they are told not to engage too much with customers, I don't know but they're not the store that say's "Welcome In!" or "Are you finding everything ok?" It felt good when I finally got one of the managers to smile. They have sold some books by people I have no respect for, but haven't noticed them lately so not sure if there were too many complaints about them. Anyway, they do have a lot of fun decor and craft items, games, art supplies, and seasonal so I still shop there.

I had a disappointing experience at this Hobby Lobby location…read more I approached an employee who appeared to be a manager after hearing a "Code 7" call and seeing her quickly come over to the party decorations section where she was organizing merchandise. I politely said, "Excuse me, ma'am, could I ask for help with something?" Before I could even finish my question, she completely ignored me. She didn't look at me, turn toward me, or acknowledge that I was speaking to her. After waiting a few seconds, I felt awkward and said, "Oh, never mind," and started to walk away. That's when she responded with, "I'm waiting," in a tone that came across as rude and impatient. I then asked whether they had a specific item in stock. She told me no and said she had supposedly placed an order that morning and was waiting for it to arrive, but it never came. The explanation was unclear and not very helpful. What made the experience worse was the overall atmosphere. Several employees seemed unfriendly, and I felt like I was being looked at rudely while shopping. Additionally, there appeared to be numerous employees standing around the checkout area, yet very few were actively helping customers or processing purchases, which was frustrating to see. Customer service can make a huge difference in a shopping experience, and unfortunately, this visit left me feeling unwelcome and dismissed. Just to be kind, i got my $5 worth of stickers and wil be spending $50+ at michael's instead.

I would say where they beat Michaels is with home decor. I think they are both pretty similar with the majority of their product line. But if I had to decorate a new place that had nothing on the walls or shelves, i'd pick Hobby Lobby. If I had to set up an art studio for fine art, i'd pick Michaels. Hope that helps, I included pictures of what I bought at this hobby lobby. Pricing was good due to a sale I took advantage of.
