    The final product! Custom frame job for a gigantic print in my office.
    Linda ..

    Amazing customer service, fast and very high quality. They had a huge selection of frames and the price was fair. We're going to Tacoma Frame Makers for all our art!

    Great independently owned framing shop, right in the heart of Tacoma on 6th Ave. I brought in a print I had purchased and was looking to get framed. I had previously in the day gotten quotes from several other shops in the area, and decided to stop in at Frame Makers on my way home. I'm so glad I did. The ladies in the shop were wonderful and helpful, working with me to find the right frame, matte, and price point. In the end, we came up with the perfect look, as well as the perfect price, well below the other quotes I had gotten earlier in the day. They got to work, and called me for pickup within the estimated time frame. I couldn't be happier with the end result. I will be bringing all my prints to Frame Makers in the future.

    I was very disappointed in my framing of a Seahawks Jersey I had done there. The first time they framed it, the Jersey started pulling away from the frame and sagging by the next morning. I returned in the next day to be redone. They had it for another 3 weeks before they "fixed" it. They never called to let me know when it would be done or an estimate on when I would get it back. I would call every few days and they would say something vague or not call me back. After they had it for a total of 6 weeks (3 weeks the first time and 3 weeks the 2nd), I got it back again. There are wrinkles all over the jersey. I had no faith that they could fix it. I am giving it 2 stars because when I did interact with the two women, they were very nice.

    Brought in a signed concert poster. Left with an amazingly well framed signed concert poster. Not the cheapest or fastest but you certainly get your money and time's worth. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Won't go anywhere else from this point. Can't recommend this place enough.

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.

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!

It's difficult, expensive, and time-consuming -- a soul-killing experience. I started my search at the usual hobby and art stores & also shopped on-line. I was saddened by the low quality and lack of selection at the big box chains, and their custom frames are crazy expensive. On-line was a high priced hassle. Fabio worked with me to find some "oops" frames and scraps to keep my prices low. They look great and were finished quickly. I'm never going to another frame shop as long as Fabio is here.

I went in because I had bought a living social deal and was excited to have a print that was purchased that came with a less than classy frame. I had an existing print that I wanted the new print to feel like a set or at least belonged together on the same wall. I knew this wasn't going to be a simple frame job and could potentially take some time. The existing frame I had that I wanted to match was from a different vendor, so the likelihood that they could order the exact frame was not a priority and I will give it to them, they did do some research and made every attempt to get it but was unable to. So the new choice of frame complimented the existing nicely. One thing that bothers me, when someone says they will call or email me by a certain time I would expect that to happen, even if to only say there is no update. Because this project took three months, there was a number of times where I had to call just to get an update or find out where we were at. The day came for me to pick up the project. One of the criteria I had given them was to make the frame the same size, even though the print was a different size, making up in the size of the matte. Well, the frame was a different size. They offered to correct it but that's just wastefull and frankly I wanted to be done. So I paid and we left. When I thought the experience was over, about two weeks later I received a letter from the store. While I paid what I thought was the balance, apparently I did not. I don't mind paying what is due, but it's just one more sign that this particular store needs some help in the attention department.

    Long story short -- if your looking to get film developed or print projects done, there are many…read morereputable online services that do a better job for a fraction of the time compared to Robi's. I submitted a roll of 35mm film at Robi's on June 18th, I did not get the digital scans back until July 12th. When I dropped it off, I was told it would take 2 weeks max because of 'staffing shortages'. Even when I was there, no one was even working in the lab that day. I should've taken that as a sign. 2 weeks passed, I gave them a call on July 3rd. Person on the phone seemed rather annoyed I was calling inquiring about my order and put me on hold for a few minutes. He came back, said he didn't see my order in queue, and to check back next week. I then get a call on July 5th telling me there's a delay in my order because... staffing shortages. You would think if they had a lot of orders in queue, that they would have the appropriate amount of staff on hand to get caught up. I mean, that's what most normal businesses do. They don't seem to care. A full week passes, and I call them again on Friday July 12th, rather annoyed. The girl on the phone couldn't even find my order at first, and had to double check with me what the name was and what date I took it in. She comes back and says it's gonna be completed that day. Finally. I receive the transfer, and I'm disappointed. Partially my fault as the photographer, some of my photos were underexposed. But there were a few photos that weren't even properly scanned and were cut off. See attached photo. I called back to see if they could re scan and send it over, they said they would look into it. That was 3 days ago, I'm not expecting a call back and don't care at this point. Unrelated to experience above, but I've also had digital prints done here in the past and have been disappointed with the quality. I get my prints with borders there was one instance where my borders were cut unevenly and were cut into the image itself. I had to ask for a reprint. The prices here for prints aren't even competitive compared to others, and I feel they are overpriced for what you get. I tried to give it one more shot, but I wont ever do business with Robi's again. It's a shame they are one of the only camera/print/film developing businesses around the south sound, but at this point I'll do business with online vendors that have a more reasonable turn around time and better quality (ex. TheDarkRoom, iPrintfromHome.com, etc.)
