They performed a miracle framing an original piece of art that needed more than just a regular matte and frame - their eye and attention to detail nothing less than superb - on a piece of art which other framers were both unable and unwilling to tackle. To add to that, they delivered with great speed as I was up against an extremely tight schedule. And further still, their prices are more than fair. Wow, what a gem of a place. Rare to find a shop still adhering to such old fashioned notions as craftsmanship, customer service and passion for what they do. But this is one such find. Bravo and thank you Ciraco!

One thing that annoys me, and the reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5, is that the paint price lists can be a little misleading. They always put the price for series 1 paint (the cheapest) at the top, in a larger font, then all the other (higher prices) are listed underneath. Most of the time they don't organize the paint by series number either, which adds a fun level of tedium to every visit. Besides that, it's a pretty solid establishment, and I'm glad to have a local art supply store.

They focus on photography, and like to showcase local, and often up & coming talent. The space is bright and beautiful; small but great for intimate viewing of each piece. Furthermore, Akasha offers framing services. I had a number of pieces framed by them, and they were extremely helpful (and patient) through the process. I say patient because my husband and I changed framing direction on them a few items. Check my blog for reviews on their last two exhibits: fabulouslyaverage.com.

Wow, what an awful experience Off the Wall was!…read more I received a large poster for my birthday, so I looked at Yelp for the top-rated frame shop in our Queen West hood and this was the top pick. Walking in, I had some ideas in mind but was also looking forward to the suggestions. My husband and I were served by a middle-aged lady who was not at all friendly and seemed to take offense at hearing our input on the kind of frame and matte combination we were interested in. At one point when I said that I wanted the matte colour to work with other things in our apartment she actually rolled her eyes at me. At another point, she commented to a co-worker that I hadn't liked her suggestion in a sarcastic tone, when I was clearly in earshot.  Getting her to show us other colour combinations was liking pulling teeth, with her audibly sighing and being incredibly rude. Worst of all, after all sorts of rigamarole about the matte colour, she suddenly announced that the poster is probably too big for a matte since adding one would mean a custom-sized pane of glass which would be too expensive. I really wish that she'd told us this at the very beginning, before wasting our time discussing matte colours  (not to mention saving us the grief).  When we were almost done, she suggested that we might want to get the poster laminated onto a board instead of putting it behind glass. Honestly, I think this was the most offensive part. My poster is valuable and lamination instantly devalues whatever you put through the process since it can't be undone. So her suggesting this made her seem unknowledgeable in addition to just plain rude.  In summary, I felt I got so much attitude in this shop and I'm not exactly sure why. All I wanted was to have some input into something that will be hanging on my wall and should go with my decor. I was telling a friend this story and she interrupted me saying: "Wait, is this Off the Wall? Because another friend went there and it was awful, they framed the wrong side of her piece." Ouch!
