My old framer closed down, so I pulled up to the Paint Chip to get my most recent degree framed. My…read moreinitial appointment was very in-depth; the worker (unfortunately I don't remember their name) was SO helpful and walked me through tons of options to get the dignified look I was hoping for. I thought it was so cool that I got to go behind the counter and pick frame options off the wall - they really have everything you could ever need! We found a matte and frame that worked well with my other degree, which I brought for reference. The whole thing was under $300, which was very reasonable for what I ordered! They also gave me a discount for being a first-time customer and they also offer teacher discounts! The framing was estimated to take 6 weeks, which was a little long. However, the wait is worth it, as they custom-order and shape the frame to your needs. My order was finished in a little less than that timeline, which I appreciated. They also gave me hanging advice and tips for where it would look best. I love how it turned out and will definitely be back when I next have something special to commemorate!

They truly have something here for everyone, and it's one of the last places you can get a print newspaper.

Sadly, they no longer stock Jellycats, but it is what it is.

We had a set of outdoor sling chairs with fraying material. We called Davis Upholstery and were…read moretold they could order the material. Deb had the fabric sample books set out for us and allowed us to take them home to find ones we liked. We saw four patterns we liked and emailed her back to get pricing. We made our selection. We soon heard back that Deb was having trouble finding a supplier for the fabric. A bit later she contacted us again to say that our choice, as well as two of the others, was no longer available, so we went with the fourth choice. Then there was a delay in the manufacturer shipping the fabric. Once it arrived we had Deb and her crew sew the ends to match the original fabric pattern to fit into the chair frames. Deb drove the fabric out to Chico to rush the sewing since it had been almost two months since we had placed the order. Apparently there isn't much demand to recover sling chairs. I guess most people just replace them. This must have been very frustrating for Deb and Davis Upholstery. We are now happy that the chairs are useful again.

I had many pieces framed by Kwan .

His craftsmanship is superb and the work is always before the estimated date. Custom farming is always expensive but, overall I consider that the price is right since the quality of his craft is so great. Additionally I had done estimates in Michael's when they have 60% -just for curiosity and to have a comparison- and even with the discount the pricing is better with Kwan.

Had a couple of Asian art pieces (3) ranging from small to large that needed to be framed…read more Original estimate completion was in August. Due to an ordering mishap for the materials, we ended up picking up the framed art pieces about a month later. The pieces had been sitting all rolled up in a tube for a number of years. The pieces were very well laid out and do not show any wrinkles. We love how the small and medium sized pieces turned out. The largest piece was a bit of a disappointment. It's sad because there was probably a lot of work done on this one. It was packaged for us to take as the place doesn't do delivery. We were sad to see upon coming home that the back paper backing had two holes where the frame met in the middle. The front glass has a scratch where the border near the frame is. I wish I had inspected it more closely at the shop. I think that this place is great if you are flexible on your timeline and have small to mid size pieces to work on. Great service, good value, and honest work. It does seem to be a one person shop. So you'll have to take that into account.
