    Visited Ben Franklin Crafts & Frames and its always a great experience. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. They made sure I had everything I needed and were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for craft supplies or frames. It's a great local shop with a great selection.

    Next project! Headboard

    All the staff are super helpful and friendly every time I am there with my little dog! Maybe it's the dog.. but still they are always there to help if you have any questions or problem looking for items. It is definitely my to go shop for good quality canvas and acrylic paint for my painting!

    I've been to this location twice. In addition to every craft hobby tool and supply you could need, you can also take various arts and crafts classes. I signed up for a crochet class that will meet one night for three weeks. The class registration of $56 included class instruction and a manual, plus a 10% off coupon for purchases at the store. A list of just three items (crochet hook and 2 skeins of different colored yarn) was required as a separate purchase, but those totaled to $10. The item list was handed out upon registration. The staff at the facility had great things to say about the instructor and helped me pick out the items I would need for the class. Who knew that there were so many things to learn about yarn and crochet hooks? No worries though, the staff here are very knowledgeable and will get you started without breaking the bank. I've attended my first crochet class. The instructor arrived early, had all of the necessary supplies needed to teach the class, and was very knowledgeable, patient and proficient at teaching crochet techniques. In addition, she offered her contact details and provided information about ways for us to get help and practice outside of class. I was highly impressed and I will definitely return to this location for supplies and future classes. By the way, free parking is available on the side lot.

    I was their returning customer, had done many frames there, but I will not go back there again, and…read moreI won't recommend this business anymore, and here is why: I paid more than $800 for the framing work, only to receive a different dark color of the frame in the completed framed art. We compared the sample noted in the order (grayish color), and the result (almost black) and the difference was obvious. The store personnel informed me they cannot control how the color of the frame would turn out ...? They offered to re-do everything with a different wood but their selection was quite limited (and if the color isn't something that is guaranteed - what is the point to redo the work? Also, the wood in that frame wasn't completely finished and they had to stain parts of it over. The quality of frames degraded, but prices doubled up. I was very disappointed.

I worked with Hana and was immediately impressed with her intuitive, creative and learned knowledge of color theory as she helped me pick the perfect color mat. I was also impressed with the care she took in my project which required the use of spacers between the mat board/art and the glass to best show off the deckle edge of the art. In addition to a relatively large offering of ready-made frames, they also have an admirable collection of custom moldings as well. Happy to recommend this frame shop in Issaquah.

I…read morelove the pretty things that have been handed down for generations, but losing my mother was a high price to pay. Upon receipt, a couple of the items had been damaged in shipping. I took two of them to Framer vs Framer. A marriage certificate of my fifth-greatgrandparents. My grandmother's college degree and honor roll pin. These are priceless treasures and I am honored to now call them my own. When I turned the items in, I was given a date four weeks later. That felt like an eternity, but for what I wanted it was reasonable. The desk person told me they were quite backed up, and I understood and agreed. After four weeks had passed, I telephoned to ask if my items were ready for pickup. No, they are running behind. They will call me. Alright, I don't like it, but I will wait. These things happen. Lots of people are short staffed these days. I get it. Another four weeks goes by and again I telephone. This time I spoke to a different person who was very rude to me. She told me "WE will call YOU when it's ready. We have people who have been waiting for their orders since June." [It is now December 16 and I turned in my order October 20] If that is true, why didn't you tell me that when I turned in my order? At least it would have been honest. I can deal with late but honest. The employee continued, "We don't even have your frames in yet. We ordered them, but they haven't come in." Oh, alright. Lots of people are experiencing a supply chain issue. I don't like her attitude, but whatever. Interestingly, I received a phone call from the company about two hours later, telling me my order was ready. Wow. Really? Maybe there's a miscommunication amongst staff, but the way that woman spoke to me was unacceptable. The work is fine as far as I can tell, but I will never ever return or recommend Framer vs Framer. This is unfortunate. I regularly choose small businesses over big box stores. I could have taken my money to anybody. I've used them before and had satisfactory results. I would have been disappointed if the order had taken another four weeks, but I'm a reasonable person if the clerks are at least courteous. I think most folks are.

I called the shop earlier in the day to ask if they would accept a half down payment for the total cost of the frame job because most frame shops will work with you on that and this was the only way I could afford it. The guy I spoke to told me they had stopped doing it due to customers never showing up to pick up their framed items, but could potentially work with me as long as I made the full payment BEFORE picking it up which I was more than happy to do. I showed up in person later with my poster to go over the matting, frame choices etc. and it was a different guy who I didn't speak to over the phone. When I got my quote at the end, I was told they would not accept any down payment and needed the full payment before cutting the frames. While I understand the reason for this and that they want customers to commit to paying them, I wish they had some clarification on their website and/or I didn't get mixed information when I spoke to the man on the phone because I feel like it was a waste of my time to come in and go through choosing the matting/poster frame. Nonetheless the framing jobs are beautiful but not a fan of the mixed customer service I received, would have been happy to give them my business if they offered down payments.
