The service was excellent and they delivered on what we needed. Custom framing is new to me and I didn't realize how involved the process is. There are several options for custom framing (mat color, frame style, glass) and we decided Conservation Framing was the way to go. Bob took care of us and let us know it would take a few weeks to complete. He gave us a time frame of 3 weeks. When we finally received our finished piece it was perfect. The Great Frame Up is a solid place for your framing needs.

I would really suggest anyone looking to add beauty to their home or office at least stop by Art Post (or visit their website) because what they offer is a wonderful alternative to the outrageous prices and narrow vision of many of the other Chicago area art galleries. Chris and Michael are not at all pushy and genuinely want you to love what you purchase. Every room in my home feels bright and cheerful and makes me smile, largely because of what I've taken home from Art Post in the past two years.

I've been to one gallery after another looking for the perfect painting for my family room. I'm…read morebummed that the hunt for a painting took me so long to visit Art Post Gallery because they have gorgeous work. I spent a lot of time examining the artwork on their website ahead of time and love how they let you search by style, size and other options that makes the art buying process a little easier. I had admired a few paintings on their site, but of course nothing beats seeing something in person. And the same paintings I liked on the site were even better in person. I liked one, Uplifting Light, so much that I asked Chris if she could photoshop it into the room I've been looking for. She said an even better option was to take it home for the weekend. She was also super helpful on what frames would work best and I loved that they could frame the painting right in their store - and she said they could hang it too! I filled out some information, gave her my credit card # and I loaded up my SUV. Turns out SUVs are good for something besides carpooling children around.. Once home I was so excited to see the painting in my family room since I was certain this was the "one." I'm so glad Chris let me try it out because while I loved the painting on it's own it just didn't work in the room- the size was wrong, the colors clashed with the colors in my room, etc. And so a few days later I sadly brought it back and handed it to Michael who was very understanding about the situation. I actually did find another painting at a different gallery over the weekend that I believe is the "one" after trying it out in the room, but I will definitely be back to Art Post Gallery when ready to find art for other rooms in my house.

It turns out the owner of bleachers scammed me when the card was really worth four dollars. after knowing this, I went to a different card shop and then this man was so helpful. I do not recommend bleachers card store unless you find the perfect price and search up the card before you buy but even then the owner of bleachers card store is probably not gonna let you buy it for the price that it really he's trying to make money by scamming people. But I went here once and this manager was helpful, but I don't think he really paid attention to what the card was really worth knowing that maybe if I go back another time he will help me more and if I look it up, he might accept the actual pricing but so far knowing what I know I got scammed I might try it one more time and see how it goes. Maybe is different or framing something but all I know is I don't expensive they're not worth. Maybe if I went back again it will be a lot different of an experience and I might drop a five star.
