Have you ever had a friend that screwed up?
I mean really screwed up? Not only did they crash your car but your dog was in the car at the time, and since your friend was drunk they had the dog driving. Car gone, dog dead and your pal asking for a beer next to the flaming wreckage complaining about your dog's inability to successfully negotiate reverse camber corners.
In a similar scale - Framing Workshop really screwed up
They were asked to frame a antique shawl by the wife.
An antique Whitby Jet shawl that she has taken care of for over 35 years. We have carried it with us over oceans and kept it in pride of place, in every location we have inhabited.
We decided to get the item framed to protect it and specifically asked for it to be pinned in the framed and hung over the backing.
The colour of the backing board that they decided to use was grey and when we got it home, it sucked the colour out of the shawl and out of the room.
So, I thought why not get the backing board changed out to a nice cream and present it to the wife.
The local framer took it in and phoned me the next day.
"They glued it".
Sorry
"They glued the whole thing".
The front matt board was glued to the shawl. The antique shawl was completely glued to the backing board. It was not going to shift. Destroyed. Thank you very much.
And we are never going near Framing Workshop ever again. read more
