They all turned out great with no damage done to any of them.This is a very professional company, with an owner that genuinely cares for his clients. It's worth mentioning that I got my framed prints back within 2 days of the order, which I thought was amazing considering the number of prints that I bring in there at a time. Thanks, Hector! God bless! and Semper Fi!

Michael's is a problem. When Joann's fails me, I go to Michael's. It used to be the other way…read morearound. Joann's wasn't my first choice but since Gainesville opened its remodeled and enlarged Joann's, I've pretty much broken up with Michael's. Michael's used to have the neat coupons but now Joann's is throwing discount after discount at me. I go up to the cashier and I have three 20% off coupons for the entire purchase, including sale items sometimes. Michael's it's one coupon for one item. But it's not just about price, it's also about customer service and the associates' knowledge of the products. If I need something specific that I'm unsure about, I will wait until I can visit a town with. a Blick's Art Supply shop. If I'm desperate I go to SOMA. That's the problem with Michael's. The folks who work at Michael's don't necessarily know what you need. At worst, some of the associates barely know where the easiest stock is located much less something like Golden's GAC 900. I used to go to Michael's a lot but stopped because the associates were just so rude. I asked about an item and the associate said she didn't have it. I said I had looked online and the store supposedly had that product in stock. She told me that they didn't carry the product even after that. I asked if she could look it up on inventory and she said that they didn't have a way to check what was in stock in the store. Um how is that even possible? And that was basically the beginning of my break up with Michael's. I go in periodically but it's no longer my go-to store. I wish we could get a Blick's. I need to go back to SOMA.

Sadly the framing store that was in town is no longer (I think it is an insurance outlet now) so that left me with craft stores such as Joann's. Not a problem, I have been in here a number of times and I know that they have a fair inventory of various sized frames. Due to the pandemic, their custom framing counter was closed, so I had to go with one of the standard sized frames that they have on the shelves. I was able to find one that fit my needs, so that is what I got. So that ends my experience this time around. However, I have been to Joann's plenty of times in the past, and their selection is pretty solid. If you need textiles for sewing, knitting, etc. they are going to have some decent selections. I know that they also hold classes for various activities, though with the pandemic those classes have been curtailed for the time being.

In the growing age of quick & convenient, specialty shops that sell a certain type of product are…read moresometimes hard to find. When you do find one, you might also worry about price, inventory, and even service. Harmon's came through in a pinch and, while perhaps not the absolute most affordable option compared to eCommerce, was a great experience that will have them top of mind in the future The Space A bit out of the way in a business cul-de-sac on South 34th St., I found an ample amount of parking and a fairly large storefront when walking into the building. More than likely you might feel a little uncertain when driving to them because of the hidden location but the inventory volume alone made it clear someone knows what they are doing in the shop. Everything appeared to be organized despite the ample stock, but thankfully I knew what I needed prior to coming in and had no need to wade through the sea of accessories. The Service As mentioned, I was hurrying to find a frame that could support a backdrop I wanted installed during an event (shoutout to anyone who came to said get-down). I had an order that got caught in the ruckus of holiday shipping, so that left me scrambling between astronomical overnight shipping or finding something locally. Harmon's came up with a quick search and, with fear of closure for the holidays, I decided to call. The man on the other end picked up and was immediately helpful in breaking down the options he could think of right then and there, such that I was already confident about driving right over to inspect the choices. When I arrived he already had the best option opened up to look at and ran down the pricing so I could make an informed decision. I was able to test it out right in the store, get help with set up, and walk away totally confident in a purchase. Final Thoughts The price was more affordable than going to a 3rd-party for overnight express shipping for sure, but I can't say they have the absolute most affordable options compared to items I was looking at that just couldn't ship fast enough. That said, supporting local was effortless and they really did make my event a splash. Give 'em a try if you need photo equipment in the 352!
