I was a little hesitant at first, but the kind gentleman reassured me and explained how to do it. This was also going to be the fastest and least expensive way for me to get my picture framed and also meet the deadline. The website was easy to use and I was able to select from a number of frames, mats, and glass or plexiglass. Three days later, my framing materials were ready. I picked it up the following day and the gentleman at the counter explained to me how to make sure and put it together correctly. I brought the picture home and put it together, and the result was beautiful. I highly recommend this frame shop for their excellent service and cost effective Do-it-yourself framing --if that's some thing you're keen to try. I'm sure having the piece professionally framed would have resulted in excellent quality work as well. I would trust them to do this if that was something I needed in the future.

Must be a great place to work because you can collect a paycheck and do absolutely nothing. Go down the street and shop at hobby lobby. They have so much better help. I waited for a total of 30 minutes before making this post trying to give them every chance. Don't shop here unless you have time to kill.

Driving up and seeing the storefront really belies the sophistication of the interior. What looks…read morelike a factory on the outside turns into a museum and art-shop gallery on the inside. We walk in and there is a huge display of various watercolors, oils and photos all framed with many different styles of frames. This gallery really helps to demonstrate how important the choices are for framing. The selection is huge, well over a hundred different styles and types of framing for just about every need you could imagine. Thankfully, the staff really has a good eye for this and in time we had made a selection of mattings, style of glass and type of frame for our son's graduation photo. The whole experience was actually enjoyable and educational in seeing the different samples and styles that suited the subject matter. There is a lot more to this than I realized, but the selection process was easy as well as entertaining. In the end, we selected a double matting with two colors and museum glass with a dignified frame for an 8x10 portrait. ================== I was called to inform me my framed photo was ready to pick up. It is perfect! Using a green crushed velvet as one of the matts along with the museum glass that eliminates glare, the frame itself, the quality craftsmanship of the finished product.... OUTSTANDING!!

Having heard so much about the evils of this place (I'm from Eugene, home to every Bored White…read moreSavior of Everything), I thought I'd see it for myself. I liked it. It struck me as "TJ Maxx meets fabrics & crafts", though with a notable overabundance of plastic flowers. Not sure what the deal was with that, but you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a faux carnation. Lots & lots of fairly interesting trinkets, including huge name-in-lights alphabet letters, decorative mangoes & cheese - now *that's* white - and my personal favorite: the shiny pillows. YOU MUST FONDLE THE SHINY PILLOWS. As for the apparent Christian nature of the chain, it didn't jump out at me in terms of merchandise apart from a selection of surprisingly beautiful crosses (relax, I'm a confirmed agnostic, and I'm not going to shit on someone's parade just to look "cool" for grouches). So why the less-than-perfect rating? Because the people there appear to be assholes. I expect little in the way of humanity from the ill-paid among us, but my one interaction was with an older woman who was openly glaring at me for asking a question... in precisely the same "get thee behind me" manner I received almost everywhere during my travels in Red States. (In case you missed the hint/reference, I'm saying that she was a bitch masquerading as an acolyte of Jesus) But apart from this stupidly contrary-to-Christianity-AND-capitalism attitude, it was a fine experience there. In fact, you'd probably have a hard time getting *any* of the employees to even acknowledge you at all, so no need to worry about forcible conversions or anything... ;)

It's beyond boring and nothing new as far as stock or yarn colors. Even Wal-Mart gets new colors in more often! If you're looking for boring consistency, I suppose this is the store for you. Employees are scarce and hard to find. My husband and I lined up, after following the long maze of impulse buy shelves, to wait a solid ten minutes. We talked loudly, I coughed a few times, clapped. Nothing. My husband attempted to find an employee, still nothing. Finally, one wanders over and said she was sorry, but she couldn't see the check-out lines from where she was. Not my problem. I said they needed to have a bell out to cut down on wait time in the later evening when there aren't many customers. She said they weren't allowed to do something like that. So in a store where the registers are blocked off by impulse buy bullshit, and employees want to be useful past standing behind a register with two customers in the store, apparently you have to go find them in order to pay for your items. They might as well turn it into a self checkout! Or at least change that portion of the store around so they can see the registers and when someone is there. I said as much to the cashier, who then spent three minutes explaining where she was in the store, and where to find someone should it happen again. Bla, bla, bla. I forgot everything she said before I even walked out the door because it was a boring, drawn out conversation turned lecture from her, and quite frankly, it's unlikely I'll be back for a very long time anyway. So my ability to care about her speech was pretty minimal and tuned out ten seconds after she started. I'm constantly less than impressed by this store. Which is sad because it could be great. The location is perfect, and I would totally go a lot more often if they had a better selection and more employees to help.
