Five Stars for Condescension!…read more If you're looking for a gallery that makes you feel like the very act of walking through the door is a colossal mistake, look no further! The gentleman who "assisted" us should be given an award for Olympic-level rudeness. Within minutes, I was reminded of just how ignorant and unworthy I am of stepping foot into an establishment filled with art I clearly could never possibly understand. Truly a masterclass in customer alienation. If you enjoy being belittled, talked down to, and made to feel like you wandered in off the street asking where the nearest gas station is, this is absolutely the place for you. Who needs art appreciation when you can get a full performance piece in arrogance, free of charge? Bravo, sir. Bravo.

It turns out Jim Henry Inc. is an 80 year old business which provides frames, certificates, and…read morewhat I'll call trinklets (small plaques and trophies, medallions, pins, pendants, etc) mostly for the medical profession.  I ordered a gift frame for my son's medical board certificate and being sorta in the Chicagoland neighborhood and to save $19 in shipping cost, I queried and was amicably agreed a physical pickup in lieu of shipping.  After just a few days' wait for the frame prep, I also got to meet Chris McClurg, the friendly president of the company who while presenting my purchase also gave me a little tour of their office and product displays.  They are located in a quaint industrial section of St. Charles and near the DuPage airport.  They have customers from all over the world.  I made an observation that businesses like Jim Henry have longevity by finding a solid niche and with theirs being mostly (but not exclusively) associated with the medical profession.  I noticed how all of the son's celebrated milestones (diplomas, degrees, certifications, etc) came with different sized certificates and each had their own preferred frame supplier - what a racquet I thought!  Anyway, this was most certainly a one time visit, but I mentioned to Chris that because he had a Yelp listing with no info nor reviews, I would oblige him with a written thank you and a little PR, and here it is!

No one called. called next business day and yelled at for not picking up mirrors as "planned". explained didn't know when truck came in and no one called.

Spent almost $900 and treated terrible. Mirrors are OK but wont ever give these people $ AGAIN.

Writing as a former teacher and a true beginner this is not the place to start. It's very…read moreexpensive, sitting for 3 hours is hard and the place is far from being clean. I was told that all supplies were "included " nothing was said about paper for watercolor, $30.00 extra. I find it rude to be told that this or that brush is 80 or 100$ , why then give it to a beginner it only adds to the stress. The project became what he saw not what I saw. I was so tense and stressed out that I didn't go back for the last class! I feel taken advantage of and believe that a 70$ refund is more than fair. Classes for beginners should include how to hold a brush right from the beginning , paints used were not even given the correct names, etc, etc, ; class should be fun! They were Not!

A couple of friendly folks greeted us at the front and asked how we found the shop. Unlike some "antique malls," it is not overcrowded, and is reasonably easy to navigate as someone with mobility issues; did have a distinct musty smell especially at the front. There is also a large selection of beads and crystals in the mini-store called Magpie that is in one corner. Expect to pay St. Charles prices here. In the same building as Trend + Relic.
