Amazingly easy and fun! worked with Daniel. he was patient and gave great advice and feedback. will be going again!

I am so grateful to have worked with the team at Brooklyn Frameworks. Earlier this year, I attempted an ill-fated art project (see: gold spraypainted frame) which ended up causing damage to a framed print gifted by my in-laws. I came to Frameworks in hopes of having the existing glass pane replaced, but upon inspection, the print itself had been moisture-damaged and was starting to mildew. Ahead of an upcoming family visit (!!!) I needed a quick solution. The experts at Frameworks not only expedited the reframing, they went way above and beyond the call of duty to find the exact print online, so that I didn't have to explain what happened to my in-laws. Now the print hangs beautifully in our dining room. Glad to give my business to this local shop that really cares about customer service. read more

Brooklyn Frameworks - New glass pane / reframe + above and beyond effort by the Frameworks expert - Framing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Jack has been very helpful on several projects and the work is excellent. Good quality at a reasonable price.

I recently had works of art packed for transport by the professionals at frameworks. They did a wonderful job and then helped carry the art to my car. I have had art & photos framed here and they did a wonderful job. i can't say enough in praise for George & Andrew who provide extraordinary expertise with such personal warmth & care! Thank you ! read more

This is my local framers and they do a beautiful job. We have art in our home that has been framed here and they also have art for sale. The customer service is wonderful and we have been so pleased with the results. I highly recommend this business especially for giving a piece as a special gift. You can trust the careful work that they will do. read more

Andrew was great. Helped the decision making super easy to choose the right frame and matte, done with great expertise. I have no doubt that my special photo is going to look great it's intended for! Thank you Andrew and thank you Brooklyn frameworks! read more

Based on my personal experience, if customer service figures into just an iota of determining who you patronize either avoid this business altogether or don't in any way divulge or display cultural elements of your identity that may fit into any negative stereotypes. I perceived noticeable condescension from two employees on separate occasions during the delivery and pickup of pictures left to be framed. They were surly and dismissive even when I was overtly gracious and amicable. Given the content of the items being framed, it's laughable and ironic for the bad treatment, too. The actual framing was good without any major blunders, but not impeccable with multiple waves in the paper. Although the the products were not exorbitantly expensive, they were a far cry from inexpensive. To be fair, two stars instead of one for the actual work. read more

Perhaps their prices are so high due to the free smugness they provide with every transaction. 5% discount for paying in cash. read more

Thank you for making a memory look so beautiful. I have added the picture of the bride to the photo tab check it out I think it's just gorgeous. Thank you for making me smile read more

Brooklyn Frameworks - Framing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Updating this review because they're so close to my home and I may be tempted to go back in and buy one of their cool prints in the window -------- My first 1 star... for 4 reasons: 1) surly 2) pricey 3) late on delivery 4) surprisingly blatant lack of customer service Totally agree with the other reviews here... complete "smugness with every transaction." We always support local businesses as much as we can, but certainly not this one with the 'tude of the dude who works there. On the most recent choice occasion (and there have been a few that included late delivery of the finished product, layered with plenty of arrogance), we were standing in line behind a guy finishing up a payment transaction - and the sales guy saw us walk in with smiles on our face and patiently wait... no "hello" as we entered, mind you, but so be it... and then someone else came in behind us a few minutes later with a very large print to frame... and he immediately went directly to help them instead! Sure, we were only looking to buy one of his $50 prints in the window, but wow - pretty blatant lack of customer service. He must be doing surprisingly well in this economy not to bother with social decency... NYC / BK definitely have many other, more deserving framing merchants to patronize. read more

Expensive but quality. These guys are pricey but most good frame shops are. They are very helpful and if you let them help you, you'll end up with something you still like years down the road. read more

Their turnaround time is ridiculous, and it is mondo expensive. I brought in two small pieces to be framed and was told there would be a 3 1/2 to 4 week turnaround time. It's goin' on 5+ weeks now, and still they're not finished. For those prices, they could hire a few more staff members to get the job done quicker! I don't doubt their skill, but I will look for another framer before going back to these guys again. read more

I have had a few pieces framed here and have been extremely pleased with all of them. I've worked with the same guy a couple of times and he's always been patient with me, especially when I probably take far too long to make my decision. They offer a huge selection of frames and I always appreciate their suggestions and ability to offer less expensive options. As for the comments from other reviewers regarding price and turnaround time, having a piece framed well is going to cost you money and will take time. The quality of their frames and work is well worth the money spent. My pieces have always taken a couple of week, never longer, and most recently, when I told them I needed something on a date earlier than they estimated, they were able to accommodate me and had it ready a few days earlier than promised. read more

Love this place. Cool artwork (prints, subway maps, japanese prints). So many choices for customized frames. Friendly and extremely helpful staff. I've purchased two pre-framed pieces here and had them fame a photograph and I love the way they look. It's on the pricey side, but well worth it. If you're ever in Park Slope, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

I'm a graphic designer and collect a good range of art, which I like to have framed. I've worked with at least six places in the city, three in Brooklyn, and Brooklyn Frameworks has been the best experience hands down. The staff is knowledgeable and patient and their work is consistently satisfying. I've had four pieces of various sizes framed here and each one came out beautifully. As for pricing, there are places in Park Slope that will really try to milk you for your dollar, Brooklyn Frameworks is NOT one of these places. Various materials cost different amounts, and if you give them a budget for your framing project, they will suggest suitable materials to fit that budget. If you're complaining about prices for custom framework in general, you have to realize that by default, this is a pricey thing to do. If you have standard size posters or artwork that you'd like framed, it is much easier to buy a prebuilt frame. You can also buy a prebuilt frame and bring it to a framer to have a custom matte added, which is infinitely cheaper than having a new frame built from scratch. As for turnaround times, this is not just a matter of labor. If you are choosing a custom frame border, the shop has to order the materials, wait for them to be shipped and then build the frame for you. If you are taking the time and money to go through with custom framing , you should also be patient. This is not a fast food industry, and if you want something less detail oriented, again, go buy a frame at an art supply store or Bed Bath and Beyond. If you need custom framing done, I highly recommend working with Brooklyn Frameworks. read more

Brooklyn Frame is a local gem!! This shop is fantastic from the time you step into the store to picking up of your work. While they do charge small business pricing, their work is top notch! Everything is custom and the workers provide you with fantastic ideas and are cautious of a budget. I will continue using this store for all my framing needs. read more

I read about the attitude some customers received at Brooklyn Frameworks but despite this, one weekend I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and visit them to have a few pieces framed. Starting at hello the condescending vibes started to flow...One of the items I wanted to re-frame was an old print that was given to my wife when she was born. Sure it was cutesy and not fine art but the person I was working with scoffed...and in not so many words said ...why would you want to frame this piece of crap....For me that was game over right there and then. Being in sales and design myself, rule #1 don't judge as you never know who you're dealing with and what they are capable of spending or the amount of work they are capable of referring. (or in this case not spending or not referring!) read more

They did really beautiful job framing our prints. They were nice and we are happy with the result. However, their prices are out of control expensive! We paid a fortune for only two things. They must be overcharging. read more

Did a beautiful job framing a print of mine. Made recommendations that I wouldn't have ever thought of and the final result is amazing. Would recommend and I will be returning. read more

2.5 stars I've had a few items framed here. Staff: Agree with other reviewers here who have had rude service. It is more often than not that they do not seem to be interested in making you feel welcome. Cost: $$$$. Quality: Framing is very good/excellent quality. Timeline: Weeks for not very complex orders. Conclusions: Given location, I feel people would go here because of location only. Very high cost, excellent quality; inconsistent service. Thank-you. read more

I don't know what's up with the "smug" or "surly" comments. I've been there many times and NEVER found that to be the case. As for pricing it's as simple as this: you get what you pay for. What you're paying for at Brooklyn Frame Works is true craftsmanship and expertise. Custom framing in and of itself is never going to be a truly "cheap" endeavor. If you don't care what the finished product looks like, then just buy yourself a frame from Target and go for it. When you have something that is irreplaceable to you though - something you want to not only display, but preserve - you need to put it in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, and whom you know you can trust. That is Brooklyn Frame Works. I have a wonderful vintage Brooklyn Bridge postcard (ca. 1910) from their store (which they, in fact, framed), and they have framed a couple of other items for me in the past as well. I have always found them to be more than courteous, patient, never less than pleasant and professional; and I've never been disappointed with their pricing or turnaround time. Recently they framed an item that was truly irreplaceable to me. My lifelong best friend, my cat of 17 years, passed away and her pawprint was cast in clay for me by the vet. George, the owner, was very patient and sympathetic, and kind enough to explain to me how the clay can dry and discolor over time. He advised me on the best way to frame it for maximum protection and aesthetic. The result is beautiful and truly museum-quality, in my opinion at least, and the price was great too. There is, honestly, no one else I would have ever considered trusting with an item so close to my heart. But I knew I had no worries placing it in the hands of Brooklyn Frame Works. You can't put a price on that. read more

Long story short: I requested a simple mat to be cut for a print & vintage frame I had previously purchased. I knew the exact measurements and type of mat I wanted, and went to the shop with this request. (I worked at a framing shop for 4 years of art school, so I knew what I needed.) The worker acted annoyed that I didn't bring in my artwork with me and that I only required a mat- not a full out frame. (I also had previously called the shop to make sure they cut mats.) Also, the employee second guessed my request with the assumption that I only measured my print, not the actual window of the mat. Before the transaction took place, the worker said he didn't have anything to put around the mat and told me he'd have to go search for it. (If I had called earlier and you said you cut mats, what have you been wrapping them in??) Also, there was a giant roll of brown craft paper that was sitting in their show-room that he could have used. Instead, he came back with a super thin plastic sleeve which he used It was ripped in the corners. When I got home, I realized it was also dirty on the outside AND inside and had stained the mat. I can't rate their actual quality of work because I was so off put by their lack of courtesy, professionalism & service, but that counts considerably and I will not go back, nor recommend them. Cost for 22"x28" plain, un-cut, rag white mat: $50. what? read more

I have walked by a zillion times, but finally popped in with a friend who wanted to buy her fiancee a framed print. They were very welcoming despite it being slightly past 7, their closing time. They do have a nice selection of NY-centric prints, but they didn't have frame we wanted, unfortunately. Also, their turnaround time seemed long but perhaps they just have a lot of orders to fulfill. Overall, they have an extremely helpful staff, and although I always think framing shops' prices tend to be on the high side, I would absolutely go there again. read more

I have had 2 items framed from these guys, they did a great job but it was very very expensive. I dont think they are smug, i think they are just not sociable. Which is bad but you cant judge a business if the employees are socially inept. Their work is very good they customer interaction and social abilities not so much. read more

Best custom framer in Brooklyn, maybe even beating out my other favorite, Mascot Studio in the E. Village. Guy at the counter is an artist and has an amazing eye; they take their time (and a healthy chunk of change), but if what you're framing really matters, it's oh so worth it. read more

I've been a customer of Brooklyn Frame works for over ten years. I wouldn't trust anyone else with precious art be it of monetary or sentimental value. I adamantly disagree with the postings of "surly" and "smugness". I, quite frankly, am always impressed with the level of patience and generosity of time offered to me when deciding on a frame. I can assure you that I am not a glutton for punishment and I most certainly would not be a loyal customer of ten years if the reception I receive would be as those described in those negative comments. I return for the service and quality of their product. If in fact there was arrogance or the attitude described in some of the comments, they would, one, not be bothered in taking real time to assist their customers. Two, they wouldn't be in business for as long as they have. Custom framing in generally tends not to be an inexpensive investment but that's what it is, an investment. If you want the work to be done well and with care, then you have to expect that it will take time. Bottom line - I've had nothing but highly satisfactory experiences with this staff and their work. If you want heirloom quality, this is the place to go. Thank you, Brooklyn Frameworks! read more

I've been going to these guys for years now and I think they're just great! Though not inexpensive, they have a great selection of frames and they really know their stuff. I've had an array of items framed -- from more upscale art to framing my kids' artwork (their readymade frames are actually a pretty good bargain). If you haven't already been, I definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Great service. Consultation was really good on one particular piece of art. Selected a matter color I was not convinced about, but, when I picked it up, it looked amazing! Good pricing, too. A little slow on the turnaround but that's OK. I was in no rush. read more

I don't get the smugness. The people who work here are very thoughtful and have always treated every piece I bring in with respect, even if it's a child's drawing on a paper towel. They spend so much time with each customer, pulling out dozens of frames, mats, really making sure the customer is happy before we plunk down the cash. It's not cheap, but I realized long ago that it is worth it: framing is really an art form for these guys, not in a pretentious way, just in their understanding that framing is for a lifetime. You do it once, get it right, and hand it down to your children. Also, they have great taste, as you can tell by the window displays. read more

Was just in this store and the guy that works there is THE rudest guy I've ever met!!! I was literally standing next to him saying "excuse me" several times and he completly ignored me even after I waved at him for attention (this is a tiny store) and he def heard me!! Don't know what his deal is but if it's to not make business and treat his customers like total crap then he is succeding! Good luck I will let everyone know how bad customer service they have and I will be taking my business elsewhere! read more

Great custom framing! Had a graduation gift done here. Great service, friendly and helpful. I had an extremely tight time frame and a few odd requests. Everyone was flexible and worked within my deadline. I am very happy with the finished product. read more

I spent over $700 on two frames. One of them was nicked, and I would have overlooked that however the expensive one WAS NOT THE FRAME I CHOSE! I picked a solid wood frame and this had a plastic veneer over the top to simulate the wood points from the frame I chose. The owner, "George", was too busy to speak to me because it was a Saturday. So long stupids. read more
