Go back in a half an hour they hadn't been touched I'm beside myself. I could've taken him somewhere else. Do you see you try and support local businesses and they shit all over you. Instead of the owner standing outside taking in sun we could've been finishing my work.

After walking into the store, I was greeted by a friendly worker who walked me through the framing process. He let me mix and match with different frames and background colors to compare. The conversation was uplifting and the service was professional and beyond my expectations. I learned a lot about framing and I'm going to go back to get my diploma and Ketubah framed here! If you appreciate local friendly neighborhood businesses and professional framing, I highly recommend Metro Art and Frame!

I don't think I've ever made such a quick design choice. They stand by their product and service too. When the frame came in with a flaw, Carlos personally sourced a replacement out of state, drove to get it, reframed the item and brought it to our home that evening before a deadline we had. It was framed beautifully as well. BTW, the correct address is 141 Larchmont Ave, near Boston Post Road.

I ended up choosing a handmade metal floating frame and it ended up being less expensive than the quotes I got from two other frame stores nearby for plain black frames. The painting was done by a friend who wrote a note on the back of the canvas and without my asking, Igor put a plastic window on the back of the frame so we could read the note, so thoughtful!! It never crossed my mind, but I love that we can see it.

A very small and very simple job that Ms. Susan said would take no more than 2 weeks to complete, (the very 1st lie)! Ms. Susan said the cost would be $540 (I have the receipt for it) and she will include on one of them a reflective glass cover because it is "CHEAP" and because it was done on paper! One week later she calls me with a now new price of $940 due to an overnight rise in material cost. ( A total B.S. if you ask me, but I decided to bite the bullet and still remain.) Fast forward two and a half months later and no phone call EVER, not once that the items are done. I called her and she said "oh all is done where have you been I texted you", (another total lie, as she never once tried to reach me, but rather forgot or just didn't give a shit.) Once I went to pick up the items it all came together. She massacred my frames, there was no protective glass and she LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING!!! She was combative, rude and inappropriate when addressing me, to the point where I just walked out as I couldn't be as ignorant as she was, not possible to out speak her or to get a word in, SHE KNOWS BEST, NOT!!! So sad how an old person like her makes a dishonest living with her husband Ed (who unfortunately for him seams like a nice guy). I am disgusted and humiliated by this pathological old liar and a con artists who tried conning me for almost $1000 as a repeat client for very cheep and inexpensive frames. The world has certainly hit rock bottom when and old lady like Susan decided that dishonesty with valued clients is a better policy for her and her business. Keep the ruined artwork Susan and your $940 frames it is your loss rather than mine. Shame on you madam, shame on you for all of your poor and ignorant decisions towards me your repeat and humble client and for trying to extort me for additional $400.00 when all was agreed prior. I do not and cannot EVER recommend such a dishonest person, a downright arrogant crook and her business to my worst enemy never the less hard working and honest people! I will contact the Better Business Bureau next and The Department of Consumer Affairs and I promise you Ms. Susan I am just beginning to expose your dishonest services!

So I thought ok, it must be artist's studio and an art gallery . We were greeted with welcome hello and if we have a question, to feel free to ask? We looked around I was wowed by beautiful, quality, artisan made jewelry and craft. Prices were very reasonable. Space was spacious and welcoming. I saw artwork that one of my friends might be very interested to purchase. I ask the owner (who greeted us) about that piece. He told us all about it, the process of work, materials and background of the artist. I highly recommend to visit this gallery, great energy, quality artwork and friendly owner (no snobbish attitude staff that you might encounter in NYC galleries).
