Epic Suckfest. Two…read morecomplaints: 1) We were lied to, mislead, and railroaded from start to finish. In the end (4 WEEKS LATER) we got a mediocre frame job at an absurdly high cost. When we questioned them about the gash in the side of the frame, we were accused of putting it there ourselves - while we stood there. No discount was offered or applied. 2) Heads-up: Employees and family members are pressured into posting positive reviews because regular customers DO NOT. In the future, we will use one of the many other local frame shops.

The store has plenty for artists from every walk of life but there is one big issue. This review is…read morewritten from the perspective of an older disabled adult. Little thought was given to the consequences of crowding the aisles with product displays making the store difficult for someone with mobility challenges. I dropped a few brushes (which I did buy) and because it is difficult for me to bend that far I cried out for help several times using my announcer voice. Everyone in the store would have to hear this unless they were wearing headphones. No one responded. After waiting a bit I struggled to get the items off the ground. Finally someone came but it was too late. She stood directly in front of me preventing me from reaching the register. People in general have no awareness of disability. The employee who rang me up obviously didn't know how to have a short friendly chat. It made me feel unwelcome, as if I were disturbing her somehow. I have a long retail history and can't imagine why someone would treat a customer that way. It's unfriendly. She was capable of the simplest basics of operating a register. Unkind. Luckily I don't need to visit often.

Wowee zowee, I haven't been in a fine art store this extensive and specialized since I was…read moreliterally in college taking fine art courses and had to buy supplies from the campus store. I came here because I needed a replacement Micron 005 pen, which is a favorite among artists. I'd checked online and saw they carried them (as did Michael's, but I'm looking to vote with my dollars and spend more appropriately), but elsewise wasn't sure what to expect on my visit. I was pleasantly surprised and I am certain I will be back in the future for projects I have planned. There's stuff here that you just won't find at any big box craft store. That said, this store caters primarily to painters and drawers. This isn't a store to get kid's art supplies; it's a place for adult artists to shop. Canvases (reasonably priced) in a multitude of dimensions (some taller than I am), a staggering assortment of oil paints, paint pens, acrylic leather paint (designed to flex), a massive number of Copics, pastels/charcoal/conte crayon, Sculpey, watercolor supplies including Arches large format single sheets, huge selection of high quality spray paints, canvas sold by the yard on rollers, resin making supplies (including face masks/goggles), gloss glazes for your ceramic firing projects, mechanical pencil leads in every gauge and hardness you could desire, journals/sketchbooks, storage and easels, impulse items like stickers/greeting cards/candy towards the registers, a massive custom framing counter and a canvas stretching counter as well. The employees were all friendly and eager to help. I got asked while I was browsing if I needed any help finding anything. (I did actually need help finding the Microns but my goofy butt auto responded I was just having fun looking... which I was, but LOL I could've also used the help. I'm just so used to turning down assistance.) There's bathrooms in the back if you have need. They are gender neutral, hooray! Nothing fancy, but all functional and clean enough. The surface parking lot is a bit small (and many of the spaces are 30 minute maximum), but there's also plenty of garages nearby as well. It was pretty busy when I was there on a Friday afternoon!

The owner is very patient and is a great help in picking out the perfect frame combo for your piece. He is very knowledgeable about different framing options and has a good eye for what will look nice. I had to have a piece framed for work and did a price comparison between here and Michael's and found their prices to be comparable (even with Michael's discounts). If you could have your art framed locally by a professional business owner instead of a chain store for close to the same price, why wouldn't you? The shop has lots of great art, décor and gifts too! I highly recommend this business.

It seems like I'm always looking to frame something and a few years ago a co-work of mine…read morerecommended this place. They did a really nice job helping me pick out a unique frame for the unique piece I had plus I didn't think it was too expensive when compared to other custom framing spots. Since a then, I have acquired some nice pieces of "real" art and chose to go elsewhere to have them framed (for no other reason than I thought this place couldn't handle it). I definitely ate my words. I really didn't like any other place I went to and I was extremely unsatisfied with the quality of work of the other places. So I went back to this Fast Frame. I guess all Fast Frames are all independently owned so I don't know what kind of experience you'd get if you went to a different one. This one on Lake Street in Calhoun Village is wonderful. The proprietor, Steve, is excellent. He's very non-pressuring but he gives you very good guidance and ideas when you're looking to frame something. Like I said earlier I've felt that Steve prices things very competitively and if you look online you can usually find a $40 off coupon. The framing is done very quickly (usually less than a week) and the quality is spectacular. I don't know why I ever thought to go anywhere else. I recommend this place to anyone that will listen and I will be back soon!
