A deeply disappointing experience at Frame Makers - Tacoma, WA…read more We entrusted Frame Makers with two custom framing projects, fully pre-paying and being quoted a two-week turnaround. That timeline quietly doubled to four weeks with no proactive communication or explanation. When we arrived on the promised completion date, we were told--without apology--that the frames were not ready. We followed up and were assured they would be complete the following day. Yet, upon returning once more, the frames were still not finished. Not a single phone call, update, or gesture of accountability was offered throughout this entire process. For a business that charges a clear premium for its services, the lack of professionalism and basic customer service is astonishing. Delays happen, but silence and indifference should never be part of the experience. Truly one of the most disappointing customer service encounters we've had--an unfortunate 10 out of 10 in all the wrong ways. I cannot, in good faith, recommend Frame Makers of Tacoma.

The lady working with us gave us a few options without telling us any pricing. When she finally told us the price, we were a little shocked. The lady seemed annoyed with our response. Instead of asking us about what our budget was or anything, she began giving us less than favorable options that were way less inexpensive. We left feeling annoyed and frustrated with the experience. We decided to go check out another framing business and it was day and night difference. Wish we could have had the same experience at Ben Franklin.

And I got exactly what I'd hoped for: professional consultation with recommendations tailored to my preferences. And I am very pleased with the matting and the frame. Really nice work.

American Art Co is the leading art gallery in Tacoma. As well as offering a diversity of high…read morequality artwork by local artists in a variety of media, the gallery holds several shows every year focusing on particular disciplines such as pastels, wood turning, art quilts, plein air, and more. It's worth stopping by just to view the exhibitions! If you are looking to add to your collection of quality art work by established local artists this is the place to come. Reasonably priced works are always available by such highly esteemed local artists such as Kari Tirrell, Misty Martin, Michael Ferguson, Richard Heller and more. The gallery also has many works by the late Pulitzer Prize winning artist from Vashon Island, Art Hansen. Prices are very reasonable, most works are available beautifully framed ready to hang on your walls. Speaking of framing, American Art Co. is my go to place to have art work framed. Over the years I have had many works expertly framed here. Good framing is expensive, but framing costs at American Art Co. are competitive. The quality exceeds what you can find elsewhere in the area. The owners, Tammy and Craig, will work with you to create what will work best to display your art!

Michaels is great. I…read morebuy all of my crafts and such here at Michaels and the location is great too. I always love when I buy something and on the receipt there's a coupon for almost 50% off any item! Although.. there was this one time where I bought a scrapbook paper set.. that was $20.. and I got a coupon for 50% off.. for my next purchase.. wish I had that coupon to buy the scrapbook paper half off! Other than that, I had one other problem yesterday- the cross stich pattern sets. They have separate cross stich needles, strings, and mats... but they don't carry the set ones where everything comes in a package with a design. The lady referred us to go to Joann's for the package sets. We ended up going to Joann's. I did have a good look at Michaels like always. I lvoe just looking around even if I'm not buying anything at the time.

I obviously wasn't paying attention at the time or I would've noticed she measured 2 yards of cord that had been spliced together. Unfortunately, by the time I realized what she had done I had thrown away the receipt. They obviously didn't take the cord back and refund my money. They will obviously never be a JoAnn Crafts

I wanted to send them a guide print to serve as a reference but they would not let me do it and no proofing available. It was a large Giclee so I was a little concerned as I have not ever worked with a lab that refused both guide print and proof. It was a reproduction of my wife's oil painting so color matching is important to us. Communication was over the phone and email so I might have gotten better service in person. A bit defensive when answering questions. Maybe it was me? or they are just too busy because they do good work at reasonable prices.

My great grandfather passed away and I contacted legends framing to make something special for the…read morefuneral and I just gave him a few photos of the family and some info like the dates and a quote, I trusted from all the amazing work that i seen on his website that he knows what he is doing and i was excited to see what he would be able to create because its something I have seen him do yet , but to my surprise when I recieved the final piece matted and framed it brought a tear to my eye, he was able to express in his beautiful creative work all that I wanted to show and more, I surprised my family when I brought the framed work to the funeral and most were in shock when they seen what I had custom framed and the rest were so emotional they also teared up. I want to thank tom with legends framing, with his one of a kind talent he can bring family together in sad times and do some kick ass custom music and sports framing, I also trust him with all my autograph jerseys and photos to make one of a kind masterpiece that I can brag to all my friends.

The pay by the bag thing was a total scam. I tried my best to navigate what was supposed to go in…read morebags and what was off limits but it was a mess. The smallest signs that said "not for bags" were written in sharpie on tape. I was sure I picked all the bag eligible items but when I went to check out every item was rung up. So instead of 7 dollars it came out to 23. In response to owner- I looked for the signs as best I could, I thought all these things I picked out were good to go. The signs are very small and not obvious so it's hard to tell what is individually priced and what's not. Everything in the store has a price on it. But yes next time I will triple read the signs to avoid paying 22 dollars for old pins and beads!:)
