The service Diane offers is unmatched…read more We contacted her after acquiring a piece of art from an artist we've been watching for years. When we finally decided to buy a work by this artist, the subject matter dictated that we frame it using a specific type of wood. Numerous framing shops told us this type of wood was not available. Diane told us the same thing, but she had a local woodworker source that had some of this wood in his private stock. Diane and her source designed the profile of the frame and her woodworker manufactured and assembled a custom frame that is the perfect match for our artwork. Going the extra mile to satisfy her customer is what makes Diane unique. She picked up the artwork at our home and delivered the finished product. We'll definitely be going to Diane for all of our framing in the future, and we highly recommend you do so also.

From the owner: I approach every new project with the underlying belief that to properly frame a picture the frame…read moreitself must be well made. This is why I make my frames from beautiful solid hardwood using traditional joinery. In addition, I work with a curated selection of frame makers around the world, giving me the unique ability to produce frames with unlimited possibilities for designs that are in perfect harmony with the specific characteristics of each picture. More than a custom frame shop, I have a complete woodworking shop where I use beautiful hardwoods to make frames by hand with classic furniture-making techniques that have been adapted to the particularly refined and precise demands of picture frame-making. Since I combine frame design and production in one small shop, I'm able to, in effect, return to the pre-industrial era of picture framing longed for by the Arts & Crafts Movement, when craftsmen built frames one at a time for the picture, before it became a big business with factories producing pre-finished moulding only in trendy colors and styles. With my approach, I can produce truly inventive framing designs, invented in collaboration with my clients. Though I specialize in designs inspired by Tucson's design and architectural history, my process lends itself to transcending particular styles which offers you the opportunity to place your picture in the perfect setting, one that will endure in both design and craftsmanship.

This was my first time at Hobby Lobby. My initial impression was overwhelming--the store feels…read morecramped with merchandise stacked too high, almost like a warehouse. When I entered, a group of workers shouted "Welcome in!" toward the entrance, though not to anyone in particular. I came to purchase two yards of fabric for a sewing project. No employee approached me to offer assistance. When I found the fabric section, there were no staff members around except for an elderly woman who was quite rude. She didn't smile, say good morning, or make small talk. When she finished cutting the fabric, she tossed it onto the table rather than handing it to me. She did the same with my receipt, simply tossing it toward the center of the table. These small interactions added up, making me feel unwelcome. I'm left wondering why I shouldn't just buy fabric at Walmart if the customer service and expertise are going to be the same. To make matters worse, the other customers seemed unfriendly as well. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience.

Invaluable Educational Experience…read more What a masterclass in customer relations! I visited Sarnoff with a $250 budget seeking a quality ballpoint pen for daily professional use, and the staff provided exactly the guidance I needed. Their response to my needs, budget, and requirements was artfully pretentious. The combination of casual dismissiveness and practiced condescension when I expressed interest in their luxury pen selection? Remarkable. It takes real skill to make someone feel simultaneously invisible and judged. If I had a pen, I'd have taken earnest notes on their methods. I'm genuinely grateful for this experience. It crystallized my understanding of what I value in a retailer and motivated me to find exactly that elsewhere. Thanks to their tutelage in what customer service shouldn't be, I discovered the perfect pen (a LAMY 2000, ballpoint) from a different small business, one that sadly never learned to efficiently dispatch proles like myself. The pen is magnificent, the service I ultimately received was exemplary, and I have Sarnoff to thank for the educational journey that led me there. Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the most unexpected teachers. Would I recommend Sarnoff? Absolutely! They're a perfect illustration of how not to treat customers, and provided you've the foresight to bring a pen, you can write your very own cautionary tale. Thanks, Sarnoff!
