DO NOT waste your money here. Go to Michael's where it is 1/3 of the cost and the same quality of framing services. I've spent over $2000 at Cheap Pete's in the last 2 months alone (and much more over time). Most recent project was getting a custom frame for an old worn, but sentimental poster for a total of $826.64. There was a tear that it was unclear if they could fix during the process of mounting it on foam - instead of calling me during the process and letting me know that and asking if I wanted to proceed, they completed the frame with the tears very visible. Not only that, I called and spoke with Sonya -- the Manager -- simply to ask if they could help me take the piece out of the new frame so that I could touch up the tear with marker and put it back together. In spite of that hefty price tag, they have the audacity to charge me even more money to unframe it. Absolutely outrageous. For context, I had a similarly damaged print that I brought to them last year and they fixed it beautifully, which is why I believed the outcome would be different than what was given to me. At that time, they had even called me during the process to confirm how to proceed with the bends in the image. Very poor quality service. Very poor quality mounting to foam board. Very poor sense of loyalty to customers in the neighborhood who give consistent business. Very expensive and not worth it.

I finally decided to bring in a Fillmore concert poster and another piece I wanted to get framed. The guy was really nice and carefully took out my rolled pieces out of their poster tubes, laid them out with soft weights, and measured them. Unfortunately, I didn't like the wood, finishes, or colors available for the standard Fillmore poster frames. They have a lot of options though. I was intrigued by by the floating frame for a painting but he seemed unwilling to give me a price estimate unless I was very serious about it. I think the prices posted for the non-custom frames aren't all that "cheap." I'll keep searching, but if money is no object to you then they have some nice custom options.

Helpful staff, however returning to drive 60 miles to request a trim of a $160 custom matting of a self made painting, was quoted to charge

Helpful staff, however returning to drive 60 miles to request a trim of a $160 custom matting of a self made painting, was quoted to charge me another $160 on top of the $160 already paid. Not recommend.

I received a nice poster of a lovely lady, and decided I go to Cheap Pete's to look for a huge frame. I'm sure it would look nicer if I let them mount it for me, but no.....I'll do it myself. Helpful staff, and I appreciate the tips. Nice selection, but I just wanted a plain black frame. End result, it looks nice.....at a fair price.

The print I chose to have a custom frame made for. I'm In love with it!

When it comes to art work in the city some art creations comes in a variety of shapes and forms and have so many multidimensional twists. Hand made art can be explored in different neighborhoods in San Francisco through canvases in the galleries and murals on the walls of the city streets. In Japantown there is a place where art is made on paper and with paper and you can create almost any work of art from plants , flowers and also animals like birds and tigers through the art of origami. This place is located on Buchanan Mall in Japantown in San Francisco and it's called Paper Tree. On a Spring stroll around Japantown in San Francisco there is a place to not only learn about the art of origami but also get the art supplies like origami paper to make the pieces of art. You will find inside lots books about origami along with displays of some of the most amazing art work. Komo was very helpful and gave me a lesson about the origami art sculptures displayed inside Paper Tree. This place is so inspirational origami will become my new hobby. In the month of August every year Paper Tree host the Origami Palooza in San Francisco Japantown. Paper Tree have classes to teach and "train " how to make an origami "Crane" and you can also take flight and make a "paper plane "origami is a fun hobby to stay focus and self "entertain" Come to Paper Tree and book a "session" to learn origami and make paper shapes in the third "dimension "and create animals and plants and your own character "invention "and late August in Japantown they host Origami Palooza an origami "convention"

Regardless, this is a must if you're in SF Japantown for the first time and definitely if you're interested in papercraft. SUPER impressive display of origami that they have here. Things are folded and tucked in such unique ways that I would have never thought of to create so many of their cool crafts. This includes various animals, dinosaurs, references to pop media (Star Wars, Disney, Ghibli, etc.), plants, and much more. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Their shop dog is also impressively large and also really chill. Fun to see 'em wandering around and just hanging out. They seem to also have community events and classes, including free online ones. I'd definitely check out their website and social media accounts for information, but I always LOVE when businesses foster community and build towards hobbies. They also have private classes and they also do events for corpos or birthdays which is pretty neat. HUGE variety of different papers of all prints, patterns and textures, along with guide books, along with various gifts and art supplies and tools. Prices vary based on what you're getting, but seems quite affordable if you're just getting into the craft and pretty reasonable if you're finding fancier imported paper that'd be difficult finding elsewhere. Staff were friendly and ready to answer any questions that we had. If you have a crafty and artistic side, another reason to visit as well!
