A deeply disappointing experience at Frame Makers - Tacoma, WA…read more We entrusted Frame Makers with two custom framing projects, fully pre-paying and being quoted a two-week turnaround. That timeline quietly doubled to four weeks with no proactive communication or explanation. When we arrived on the promised completion date, we were told--without apology--that the frames were not ready. We followed up and were assured they would be complete the following day. Yet, upon returning once more, the frames were still not finished. Not a single phone call, update, or gesture of accountability was offered throughout this entire process. For a business that charges a clear premium for its services, the lack of professionalism and basic customer service is astonishing. Delays happen, but silence and indifference should never be part of the experience. Truly one of the most disappointing customer service encounters we've had--an unfortunate 10 out of 10 in all the wrong ways. I cannot, in good faith, recommend Frame Makers of Tacoma.

I wanted to send them a guide print to serve as a reference but they would not let me do it and no proofing available. It was a large Giclee so I was a little concerned as I have not ever worked with a lab that refused both guide print and proof. It was a reproduction of my wife's oil painting so color matching is important to us. Communication was over the phone and email so I might have gotten better service in person. A bit defensive when answering questions. Maybe it was me? or they are just too busy because they do good work at reasonable prices.

American Art Co is the leading art gallery in Tacoma. As well as offering a diversity of high…read morequality artwork by local artists in a variety of media, the gallery holds several shows every year focusing on particular disciplines such as pastels, wood turning, art quilts, plein air, and more. It's worth stopping by just to view the exhibitions! If you are looking to add to your collection of quality art work by established local artists this is the place to come. Reasonably priced works are always available by such highly esteemed local artists such as Kari Tirrell, Misty Martin, Michael Ferguson, Richard Heller and more. The gallery also has many works by the late Pulitzer Prize winning artist from Vashon Island, Art Hansen. Prices are very reasonable, most works are available beautifully framed ready to hang on your walls. Speaking of framing, American Art Co. is my go to place to have art work framed. Over the years I have had many works expertly framed here. Good framing is expensive, but framing costs at American Art Co. are competitive. The quality exceeds what you can find elsewhere in the area. The owners, Tammy and Craig, will work with you to create what will work best to display your art!

As a photographer who edits on a carefully calibrated monitor, I'm very particular about print…read morequality and color accuracy. I recently ordered a ChromaLuxe metal print with aluminum Dibond backing from Bumblejax Print Lab in Seattle, and the result is outstanding. The image was a complex mountain landscape with deep shadows, bright highlights, and subtle color transitions. Bumblejax reproduced the file beautifully--the tonal transitions, detail, and color accuracy match my calibrated display remarkably well. The print arrived in extremely sturdy packaging, and the overall craftsmanship is truly gallery quality. If you are looking for fine art metal prints or ChromaLuxe metal prints, Bumblejax is an excellent choice. I will definitely be ordering from Bumblejax again and would gladly recommend them to other photographers and artists.

I was hoping to give a better rating because the staff were friendly, store was clean and inviting…read more Unfortunately, the overall experience was less than I would have hoped or expected. I went in because I had bought a living social deal and was excited to have a print that was purchased that came with a less than classy frame. I had an existing print that I wanted the new print to feel like a set or at least belonged together on the same wall. I knew this wasn't going to be a simple frame job and could potentially take some time. The existing frame I had that I wanted to match was from a different vendor, so the likelihood that they could order the exact frame was not a priority and I will give it to them, they did do some research and made every attempt to get it but was unable to. So the new choice of frame complimented the existing nicely. One thing that bothers me, when someone says they will call or email me by a certain time I would expect that to happen, even if to only say there is no update. Because this project took three months, there was a number of times where I had to call just to get an update or find out where we were at. The day came for me to pick up the project. One of the criteria I had given them was to make the frame the same size, even though the print was a different size, making up in the size of the matte. Well, the frame was a different size. They offered to correct it but that's just wastefull and frankly I wanted to be done. So I paid and we left. When I thought the experience was over, about two weeks later I received a letter from the store. While I paid what I thought was the balance, apparently I did not. I don't mind paying what is due, but it's just one more sign that this particular store needs some help in the attention department.
