I greatly enjoyed working with Kaily, a framer with technical expertise and terrific aesthetic sensibility. With Kaily's assistance I was able to compare frame styles and materials, mat colors and combinations, glass choices and sealing techniques. Kaily offered great suggestions that really moved us along from discussing my vague ideas to making decisions that moved the project steadily closer to the attractive and thoughtfully framed pieces I hoped for. I never felt rushed. I felt very welcome in the studio shop. The staff (owner and associates) worked as a team to bring the project together. My artworks are beautifully framed using quality materials that enhance and protect the pieces. The framing materials and style coordinate with my living room decor in a harmonious way. The process was creative and exciting, and I'm truly delighted with the finished set of framed prints. Sincere thanks to all at Design Frames!

I gave him a print-out of the angular panes I needed in glass (see photo). I'm not sure how much clearer I could have been, but you be the judge.

He offered me no refund for his error, not even the spread between what I paid and his cost. He could've easily taken back the two 45" x 32" glass panes, which could've been used for other clients without issue.

I had a great experience here with one the lady staff member here. I was skeptical of going to a new place with not many reviews but I like giving the local small business my business versus place like Michael's. I have used couple other frame shops to get my man cave set up just for me but not as good as this place. The girl that was there took her time with me as I was probably in there for 1 hour or so since I'm so undecided when it comes to choosing framing and interior home stuff. I usually leave that stuff for my wife but she wasn't able to come with me so I decided to go anyways. Like I said she helped me choose what we both thought was best choice after looking at many combinations with the frames and the mats. Since that frame shop was new but their second location which being in Vienna I said lets do it and see how comes out. I had a Washington D.C print done by artist named Rod Chase that I ordered through the net and the outcome of framing+ matting made it look like a million bucks! Give these guys a try and you will be happy. Ask them about their discounts they can offer since framing can be pricey but they make it affordable for good quality stuff. read more

I recently went to the McLean location to have my father's favorite piece of artwork reframed as a gift and The Frame Market did an amazing job! I was a little nervous at first because I've never had such a significant piece of artwork reframed before, but Kalvin took really good care of me. He listened as I explained what I was seeking and helped me find the perfect high-quality framing materials. Also, the reframing was completed on time! I was really impressed. Their level of customer service is also unmatched. It's rare to go to a business and experience such a warm and friendly atmosphere, but Kalvin was very personable, patient and knowledgeable. This was the second time I'd been a Frame Market customer and I plan to stay a customer. I appreciate The Frame Market for helping me give the perfect gift! read more

Terrible customer service…read more Spent a lot of money to have a nice picture framed after being recommended to this place. When we received it back it was not centered in the frame. Owner said that she normally asks, which she did not, and never bothered to reach out over 2 months to see if we wanted our picture centered. You'd think that's pretty common knowledge that you'd want something centered in a picture frame you're spending $400 on, but maybe that's just me. Said it would be a minimum of $140 to attempt to fix - even though this was her mistake - and could possibly need to purchase an entire new frame for upwards of $300. Now making our simple framing project cost over $800. Absolutely ridiculous for a mistake that was theirs. Despite the unwillingness to help find a solution, I still would have reluctantly spent the money to have this fixed. That was until she got incredibly rude and loud with my wife and kicked her out of the store. If you want to spend money to have a picture framed off center, and then get yelled at when you're unhappy with the final product, then this is the place for you!

To give you a sense of what you're working with here... I went into the store on a Sunday morning and saw a dining table I liked. Called back later that night to find out how late they were open to see if I could swing by and pick it up - the answer was "are you going to buy it or just look at it?". I said buy it, so they stayed open for my sale. HA! Anyways - like I said, it's not top quality furniture, but it's modern looking and way more affordable than the bigger places. The dining table I purchased was $200 compared to the similar one from Crate and Barrel, which retails for $700. We bought a king size bedroom set for $1000. Again, I know better than to think I'm getting great craftsmanship for $1000... but for that price, it looks great and if it lasts the next 3 years until I move again, then it's done it's job. Not going to find another king size set that looks as good for anything comparable to that price. Moral fo the story: if you want afffordable, decent quality stuff and are prepared to haggle with the sales people, you might find some great deals here.
