I can't believe I'm going to be the first to review this outstanding framing center and art gallery…read moreon Main Street in Hackensack. This location has been here forever, I have been coming here for at least 15 years personally. Virginia, the owner, always comes in with excellent, fair prices. When shopping for a frame that complements your artwork selecting the right frame is in an art in itself. Virginia has always had an excellent eye for picking out a few that work so you can make a final selection. If you have experience framing large paintings and prints you're probably familiar with the quality and price variance in this niche market. Take my word I have shopped around several times and I always wind up right back here where I started at Galaxy. I just dropped off a very large, fully crew signed Star Trek the Next-Generation print as can be seen in the photographs I posted. The previous owner had it framed in a black Plastic, modern frame that had warped over the last 10 years and cracked in a few places. I will post a photo of my new, beautiful gold and black frame that is being installed at the end of the week once the job is completed for a before and after comparison. When I get home I will post a couple of the Oil paintings I have had framed here in the past. Take a look at how they complement the art.

Tour guide Gabi was excellent in her delivery of concise and interesting information and structuring an engaging tour. Our tour was on surviving the intrigues of the court of Henry VIII and was set up to mirror a Game of Thrones like storytelling based on various Metropolitan pieces relating to said time period, which I thought was very cool. Will definitely take another tour with this company and possibly write an updated review as they expand their offerings.

I have been going to David for all of my artwork for a few years now and I can honestly say..his professionalism and respect are as solid as his incredible talent. From my own experience with David, nothing is ever "just a tattoo". Each time he has worked with me to create a piece of art that speaks to his creative ability as well as my personal style. Even during a session, he has this amazing ability to see the future potential in the piece he is working on at the moment...throwing ideas at you on what he can add to it, where he can take it....that's a tattoo artist that takes unbelievable pride in his work. With David, it's always - "that's hot...but we are going to make it way hotter!". I can't go anywhere without someone stopping me to admire my artwork. It's a pretty amazing feeling when people stand there staring in awe and amazement at something so beautiful that he has created on my body. I have never met another tattoo artist with as much pride and passion for his work as David...and it shows.

The shop is clean, all of the staff here are nice, welcoming and make you feel comfortable. you dont starve while getting time consuming pieces lol. good vibes convo and music. love this place, highly recommend.

I am very fortunate for One River; it's a friendly environment, and my kid hasn't ever complained. Unfortunately I have not ever toured the facility beyond the main lobby, so I can't speak on the room layout and cleanliness. But it has been around for a while and they may need some Reno work. Cons: The cost is pricey; metered street parking; limited art classes.

A very small and very simple job that Ms. Susan said would take no more than 2 weeks to complete, (the very 1st lie)! Ms. Susan said the cost would be $540 (I have the receipt for it) and she will include on one of them a reflective glass cover because it is "CHEAP" and because it was done on paper! One week later she calls me with a now new price of $940 due to an overnight rise in material cost. ( A total B.S. if you ask me, but I decided to bite the bullet and still remain.) Fast forward two and a half months later and no phone call EVER, not once that the items are done. I called her and she said "oh all is done where have you been I texted you", (another total lie, as she never once tried to reach me, but rather forgot or just didn't give a shit.) Once I went to pick up the items it all came together. She massacred my frames, there was no protective glass and she LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING!!! She was combative, rude and inappropriate when addressing me, to the point where I just walked out as I couldn't be as ignorant as she was, not possible to out speak her or to get a word in, SHE KNOWS BEST, NOT!!! So sad how an old person like her makes a dishonest living with her husband Ed (who unfortunately for him seams like a nice guy). I am disgusted and humiliated by this pathological old liar and a con artists who tried conning me for almost $1000 as a repeat client for very cheep and inexpensive frames. The world has certainly hit rock bottom when and old lady like Susan decided that dishonesty with valued clients is a better policy for her and her business. Keep the ruined artwork Susan and your $940 frames it is your loss rather than mine. Shame on you madam, shame on you for all of your poor and ignorant decisions towards me your repeat and humble client and for trying to extort me for additional $400.00 when all was agreed prior. I do not and cannot EVER recommend such a dishonest person, a downright arrogant crook and her business to my worst enemy never the less hard working and honest people! I will contact the Better Business Bureau next and The Department of Consumer Affairs and I promise you Ms. Susan I am just beginning to expose your dishonest services!
