    Small oil painting
    Matt H.

    Exceeded Expectations It is easy to understand why this frame shop is always busy. I had CMM frame two pieces. After going to other shops, the pricing was competitive and the quality of the work was outstanding! CMM framed a sports jersey which came out great. It was pressed and sewn to the mat although the stitches are invisible. It also framed a small oil painting and was actually able to match up the frame I had on a similar piece. I was very satisfied.

    I really don't write reviews but this one is a no-brainer. If you are thinking about getting anything framed, there is absolutely no reason to look anyplace else. They check off every box - knowledgeable, helpful, nice, they have a solid selection of frames and they do fantastic work. On top of all of that, they charged a fraction of what I was quoted someplace else. I recently brought something in that I needed to get done quickly and they did it in even less time than promised. They are hands down my go-to place in the future.

    Absolutely loved this place. They're in the process of moving to a new, larger location. I took four prints from a trip to Amsterdam here never having experienced professional/custom framing before. Thinking it would be quick, I came in 45 minutes before close. Unfortunately, it took me longer than expected as we started iterating through varying frame options. Rachel was so kind that even as we encroached on close, she remained patient with me and continued to help me find the right choice. Once we agreed, we walked through different glass options, pros/cons, talked turnaround time and price. Their turnaround time was much longer than I expected, but they were willing to make an exception because they didn't mention it when I first walked in. The price for custom framing was higher than I expected but definitely reasonable for pieces you love. There was one hiccup with a frame not being available, but Rachel kindly provided other options via email. When I came to pick everything up, the owner was also extremely kind and offered to show me how all of the pieces turned out but I declined after seeing how great the first one was. I will definitely be back at their new location after I purchase some more art and have already referred one friend. Hope they find success at their new location!

    I approached CMM Framing based on Yelp reviews for a job near and dear to my heart. My grandparents recently passed away and I had pressed flowers from their funerals and kept them for more than a year. I wanted to memorialize them but was worries the flowers would be damaged in the process. CMM, and Rachel in particular, took great care actually putting one of the flowers back together then placing perfectly in an exquisite frame. I was thrilled with their level of attention to detail and how gently they managed such a delicate process. Highly recommended.

    I would give more stars if I could.... I used CMM Framing for the first time via referral from the chicago artist coalition. I needed a large oil painting of mine re-stretched and framed before my art show. I used to use other well established framers in Lincoln Park. I was pleasantly surprised! They offer a fantastic selection and they are very reasonably priced! Re-stretching in my opinion is an art so it can be worrisome for an artist. It was re-stretched perfectly and the framing was on point. They offer great customer service keeping me informed on the status of the job. I highly recommend them and plan to send a lot more work! I only wished I knew about them sooner!!

    Beautiful frame!

    Amazing quality framing! Chris picked out a gorgeous frame for our family heirloom antique architectural print. The frame and matte accentuate the print beautifully and the craftsmanship is top notch. He also framed a set of prints in a single frame, which I think looks stunning. I wouldn't have thought to put both prints in one frame, but I love the way it looks. This is truly museum quality framing, and I know because I work in a museum.

    WOOOOOOWWWWW, is probably the best response that i can give for my experience with Chris over at CMM Framing. Excellent experience i took him 7 jerseys to be frame he was very reasonable in cause as well as fast turnaroud on my jerseys. I even brought him another jersey while he was framing my other 7 and he was able to get them all done on the same time line and when i came to pick them up i end up paying less than i was quote. And the quality of his work was amazing, i wish i could post a picture of the work... An amazing experience Thanks Chris and team... Thanks, Kevin

    Cubs printing plate and front page. Custom matted and framed. Turned out great!

    Great service at CMM Framing! I had a custom Cubs side by side framed and it turned out beautifully. Not only do they have hundreds of choices but they're very knowledgeable about framing special pieces like this.

    I've had many things framed here. Chris is friendly, professional and really really really good at what he does. He provides honest advice and his opinion. He's steered me in the right direction many times and that's why I will always come back.

    Three framed prints. 2 on the left are matted.

    I had the most incredible experience getting five pieces custom framed and even snagged a sixth…read moreright from the showroom! Jill is absolutely amazing! She walked me through every step of the framing process, from picking the perfect frame style to choosing the ideal matting size and figuring out the best placement in my home. I never felt rushed; she was so patient and attentive, making the whole experience a blast! Honestly, I could have easily spent the entire afternoon with her--time flew by! I couldn't wait to return, and I brought back even more items, including a blanket (though I had to hit pause because of a vacation coming up). I've used Print Unlimitd in the past, and I'm back because I was just so thrilled with the quality! Plus, Jill gave me the pricing on the spot, and I truly felt like I scored a fantastic deal. You really do get what you pay for, so I can't wait to go back again and again!

    Looking for a frame to compliment a print is a tedious chore as there are so many places in Chicago…read moreto choose from. I was able to find Prints Unlimited and Jill was able to narrow down my selection like a puzzle sorting out different color mattes and frames. Jill was able to quote me a price minus a check-in discount (under $600) which made this final product come to life. The final product was mention to take 3 weeks but after 2 weeks, I got the call to come pick the print up. I am glad Prints Unlimited made this process easy and the price was very affordable. Highly recommend Prints Unlimited to anyone who is trying to match a print to frame.

    TL:DR - Local framing spot that is taking COVID seriously. They really provide great high quality…read morepieces that always look great. They really emphasize the importance of customer service and have been really helpful in helping my design my piece, even if I come in with almost no idea of how I want something framed. To me their prices are a tad higher than what I was expecting to pay, but given the high quality work they do and how easy they make the entire process, this place provides great value if you need something framed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've had two experiences with the Frame Shop across its Bridgeport and Lincoln Park location and there have been some common themes that I think does a good job representing the values and aspects of framing that this place is trying to do well. What I really do appreciate about the Frameshop is how serious they're taking covid. Each location is only open a few days a week and people only come in by appointment only. Not only does this reduce the number of people around me but it gives me individual attention when it comes to getting inspiration in terms of how to set up my framed piece. Every time I've been, the person working has had a mask on as well, and there is plenty of hand sanitizers. The other thing I've noticed across my experiences, is their focus on quality framing and customer service. I am honestly a novice when it comes to framing, but even then, I always really appreciate and am impressed by the finished product. Like when I get my pieces back, I always think "Damn, this is really nice" and it makes me feel like I have my sh*t together as an adult. It's like putting on a nice suit, you automatically feel like a million bucks, even if half my wardrobe is gym shorts and t-shirts. In terms of customer service, I had a terrible first experience at Lincoln Park, but the frame shop reached out to me and let me know they had already taken steps to address some of the issues I had previously experienced, even before I gave my feedback. I am glad I gave them another shot, and I truly believe that my second experience is more representative of what you can expect based on how genuinely apologetic they were and based on other reviews. Going in the second time, I just had a few pieces from my wedding I wanted framed as an anniversary gift. I had nothing in mind of how it would go together or how it would look. Cole helped me and made the whole process really easy. He took what few ideas I had, filled in some blanks, and within 15 min we had outlined the piece and I was super happy with it. That process could not have been easier. I still do get some sticker shock when it comes to the price. Compared to what I had in mind, we're still within the same ballpark, but still higher than what I thought I was going to pay going in. But to be fair, I'm basing this off prices in my hometown, and have never gone anywhere else in Chicago, as some of the other reviewers seem to have, and found the Frame Shop to be cheaper. But given the quality of the final product, the amazing customer service, and the eye for design the workers have, you're still going to get great overall value when come to the Frame Shop.
