They are knowledgeable, fast, patient, and genuinely care about helping you find the perfect framing solution. What I appreciate most is that they're artists themselves, so they understand how important it is to present artwork in a way that enhances and protects it.

I recently bought a painting done by a dear friend and needed to get it framed. I looked into a few…read moreonline options, but decided that I wanted to stop in to Mercury Head Gallery. I'm so glad I did, because Jeri was incredible! She greeted us right when we came in and was SO helpful. She showed us lots of great options for frames and gave us tips on viewing them with the painting. It was also great that we stopped in because Jeri showed us that the painting (which is on a wood board) is a bit crooked and would need to be trimmed down to even it out so it could be framed. I'm so glad I didn't just get something online because it definitely wouldn't have worked. Once we chose a frame, Jeri got me a quote and let me know it would be done in about two to three weeks, and we can pay when we pick it up. It definitely isn't cheap, but I think it's well worth it to take care of my original art that I will cherish forever! They also provide printing services, photo capturing, art reproduction, photo printing, and photo restoration.

LaFontsee Galleries is a place you shouldn't miss. Everything they do, they excel at. They…read morerepresent some of the best artists in the Grand Rapids area and beyond. I love supporting them. They started out as a "hole-in-the-wall" frame shop over on Grand Avenue. Then they moved to their two-story space over on Monroe Avenue a few blocks north of the old Grand Rapids Press. Now they have two sites. I love that they have continued to grow. Their success is well deserved. They support artists in a big way. They help you with your presentation, ie., framing, installation, giclee printing, etc., and they have the perfect gallery space to showcase great work. Their quality of work is always top notch. When you leave your work in their hands, you know it will be handled with great care and an immense attention to detail. I've never felt fully confident with picking out frames on my own for my work, but the staff at LaFontsee Galleries has never let me down. Our combined work is still on my walls from over the years all the way to the 1990s when I moved to Grand Rapids and they opened their first frame shop. This summer, I needed to have several canvases stretched on bars for my ArtPrize entry. Linda LaFontsee and her staff performed an excellent job and helped to make my artwork a success. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere else in West Michigan for preparing my work for a gallery show. LaFontsee cares and it shows.

They always have fantastic suggestions for frames and colors for matting. My husband made a wood burning project as a kid that we found in the attic, and I wanted to have it framed for him as a surprise. The project turned out amazing and it is due to the artistry with which the project was approached. They suggested a really cool rustic frame with a very different mat that I never would have thought of. It made for such a meaningful gift. I've been to other places where there might be one or two people who truly have a good eye, but at Frames Unlimited on West Main in Kalamazoo, they are all fantastic! Pricey, but worth it for beautifully done work that lasts a lifetime!

Before I get into it, yes, custom framing is expensive. This place doesn't seem much more or less…read moreexpensive than the other places in town, but I know it can be kind of a shock for folks who haven't had things custom framed before. Years ago, my now husband had gifted me a beautiful framed print from Frames Unlimited. I tracked down two other prints from the same artist to make a triptych, but I needed them matted and framed. Frames Unlimited meticulously went through their mats to figure out which white mat they had originally used (there are dozens). They also matched the black frame. The result was a beautiful looking set. We also had something we needed framed without the glass (it's a scratch off map) that another framing place in town said they wouldn't be able to do. It wasn't an issue at all for Frames Unlimited. Everyone I interacted with here was pleasant, and when I went to pick up my pieces, an employee helped carry everything to my car. The turnaround was faster than expected as well--they said it might be a couple of weeks but called me to say my order was ready in just about one. I really appreciate their commitment to customer service and would definitely recommend this place to others.

Steve is very personable and began our consultation by asking us about our home, style and preferences.
