I work with a wonderful (and very capable!) young adult who was looking to take classes on the wheel and she was not even given a chance. very disappointing conversation with the shop. seemed discriminatory to those with special needs. I can understand everyone has a different skill set, but how do you offer classes to the public and then exclude someone before they even come to your shop. and if you don't want to work with kids anymore like you said- update your website.

Small frame shop off the beaten path on Chestnut street in Ridgewood with its own parking. Wanted…read moreto go local and convenient and Yelp gave me this steer. I needed a one week turnaround on a custom frame job for a birthday gift and the owner (Jan) assured me she could deliver. The selection of frame and matting was painless and the piece itself was artistically and professionally done as promised. Very pleased with the work -- as was the recipient. Note that a Yelp check-in gets you a 10% discount on your first order -- also noted on the Yelp business page. My only quibble with the service (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is the manner in which the Yelp discount was applied in my case. I didn't check in on Yelp until I was almost out the door after having paid a deposit. Once I mentioned it, Jan told me she already gave me the discount. How could she have known to give me a Yelp discount if I had not yet checked in on Yelp?? I did not dicker about the pricing (north of $200 for a single mat and basic frame) because I needed a quick turnaround and was in a rush. But if I had it to do over again -- I would have paid closer attention to the quoted price BEFORE agreeing to it -- and only then mention the Yelp check-in so that the discount could be applied before paying the deposit. At pick up -- Jan gave me an additional discount on account of the Yelp check-in snafu which was entirely her initiative -- and which I felt was fair. As I am fully satisfied with the work and the value received I enthusiastically recommend Jan and FRAMED for all your framing needs. You will not be disappointed.

It has now been over two months, and he will not answer my emails, texts, and phone calls to give me an update and price for repairs, etc. I now have no confidence in this person and feel as though I have been Scammed. I feel as though he might have sold my clock and will not answer my inquires. My disadvantage is living out of State but I did have a credible recommendation from a Seiko Company to contact this person for repairs. I would never recommend this Company to anyone for clocks or clock repairs. Patricia Hanley 65 Fordway Ext, Unit 1-204 Derry, NH 03038
