With so few reviews of framing shops in Amsterdam, I felt like choosing was a shot in the dark, but I'm thrilled that I got lucky with Jollijst -- and so had to share my experience, in hopes of helping others navigate these waters.
I took two very large photographs and a magazine cover in to get framed, and the very knowledgeable young man who helped me spent so much time carefully studying the images and giving me many options for each. I wound up choosing metal frames for each of the photos -- one very slimline/low profile and the other a larger/heavier brushed steel that perfectly matched the artwork -- and a lovely weathered wood frame with a bright white matte surrounding the magazine cover.
About 10 days later, I picked up three beautifully framed pieces for a very reasonable price. (We're not talking buy-a-frame-at-IKEA prices, but you get what you pay for!)
I know I'll be a repeat customer; go here with confidence! read more
