I've been coming to the store for quite some time. I enjoyed the weekly coupons I used to get, is a…read moreshame I stopped getting coupons with my receipts from here. However, that is a corporate decision and has nothing to do with this particular store. It seems like whenever they made the transition from having cashiers to automated self check out, the customer service here has gone downhill. I tried stopping in tonight on a quick run as I ran out of a particular tube of paint, and I nearly walked right into a door because they had both of the inner doors of the vestibule locked. I could walk in from the street, but the nearly face planted in a door that was supposed to open automatically. An employee came over and unlocked one of the doors, earbuds in her ears, apologizing while explaining she was on a phone call or something. She was immediately all too eager to let me know the store closes in than 20 minutes. Yeah, I could tell. It's a huge pet peeve of mine when stores try to shut down shop during their opening hours. Your store hours you close at 9:00p, not 8:37. There's a Michaels on the other side of town I've only been to a couple of times but even with the automated self check out there, people there I think are much friendlier it might be worth the drive next time.

I was distraught (in tears). I went back in to buy another 2, and when i told the employee what happened, he asked me if the string was tied loosely, i said i wasn't sure, and he said "let's just say it was". He gave me another 2, free of charge on account of an employee error. I did not catch the man's name but he's a wonderful employee and i cannot stress how much i appreciated this small kindness, it really made my day.

I contacted Saper back in December of 2025, to inquire about their framing process and to figure…read moreout a rough project timeline. I had several similar projects completed in the past in another state, but Saper was unknown to me then. Specifically, I had one large piece of film memorabilia which needed some minor restorative work, and three additional autographed photos which needed custom framing and matting. Four projects in total. I called first and spoke to Jennifer, who gave me some history about the business, which was established 47 years ago, and their philosophy as it pertains to preservation. Jennifer assured me that they use only archival-quality, non-destructive materials and processes to ensure the best possible results. Additionally, I wrote an e-mail and received a detailed, friendly response from Roy Saper almost immediately. I wasn't able to bring everything in until mid-January of 2026 because of some medical issues I'd been having, but once I was able to meet Jennifer in-person she was able to help me to make informed decisions about colors, framing materials, and types of glass. The price I was given was fair and reasonable, and I was told that the projects should take about six weeks to complete, because they were still backlogged after the holidays, which is understandable. I did have one minor thing about the size of the matting that needed to be changed a day later, so I wrote another e-mail and once again received a very prompt and professional acknowledgement. Then, sure enough, six weeks later, I received an email letting me know that the projects were completed! I had some concerns about physically transporting them, however, so I called in to ask about what types of packing materials I should bring. Roy answered, and kind soul that he is, he offered to personally deliver the completed projects, which I graciously accepted. He wrapped all four projects with such love and care, and brought them to my house that very evening. When I unwrapped them, I was delighted to find that everything looked amazing! Jennifer was the one who completed the restoration of the one larger item, and she did a fantastic job. Meanwhile, Nathalie was the one who crafted the three custom frames for my smaller 8x10 autographed photos, and likewise did a splendid job. Every detail was perfect, with an artisan's touch and a clear mind for historical preservation. I could not be any happier with the end results, and I will not only sing their praises forevermore, I will also continue to bring al of my future business there. Saper Galleries and Custom Framing is now my go-to spot for all of my bespoke framing needs. Thank you Roy, Jennifer, and Nathalie, for going above and beyond!

However, that probably has to do with the wide variety of artists carried by Absolute. They seem to also feature custom framing, so if you're an artist or just a person with some art that needs a home, Absolute is a decent place to go. The owner was nice and said "hello" then commented briefly on the weather. Standout pieces of art included wooden framed maps of Michigan which were somewhat topographical, custom made clocks, and a beautiful hand crafted wooden rocking chair.

There is always something new and it's a great place to find the perfect gift for someone. Most recently I took 5 very special pieces of art, three of them signed and numbered, to be framed. Absolute Gallery was the perfect place-- they were very patient with me and my back-and-forths on matting and mounting and everything. They helped me and my companion navigate the many framing options until we were completely satisfied. Two weeks later the frames were done, and they are just beautiful. Exactly what I was hoping for. I'm also very happy to support local businesses [and a little window-shopping on my way out of the store didn't hurt, either!] I will definitely return in the future, for gift shopping as well as any more framing I have done. Very satisfied customer!
