The Great Frame Up

I stopped in this place to have my master’s degree framed that has been sitting in it’s diploma holder since not long after receiving it in the mail. And in case you are wondering, no, they do not give you your actual degree when you walk across the stage at most schools. You just a receive blank diploma holder so your family will have something to take pictures of you with. The university has to wait and make sure you do not have any ‘holds’ (meaning you owe them money) and they mail it to you 6 weeks later. Considering all the money I paid to receive it, not to mention the ball busting work, I figured the time had come to give it a proper accompaniment so I could get it up on the wall.
I had not had anything framed since my undergrad degree, so I was fairly inquisitive with the clerk on duty. I had no idea what exactly I was looking for as far as frame size, matting, etc. but she was very helpful and patient with suggestions and tips. The clerk suggested that I go with a larger frame than what I had for my undergraduate degree (makes sense), and that I opt for a something other than a neutral colored border to add some «pop» to it. She also added that having it framed with this kind of protectant U.V. glass called ‘Tru Vue’ would ensure that it stood the test of time. I pretty much just took all of her suggestions and called it a day, as she does do this type of thing everyday and what do I know about framing? It turned out to be a good call.
They quoted me a week turnaround before I could pick it up and it turned out great. It set me back close to 150 bucks, but just picking it up it feels substantial and well constructed. There is a sticker on the back offering suggestions for cleaning, and also an attached wire for ease of hanging.
My 100K piece of paper now looks much more presentable.

I went to this specific store based on the reviews, and they had a great coupon on their site for 100 off $ 200. I had three prints framed. I was promptly helped after waiting only a few minutes. He helped pick out frames and matting and was knowledgable of the stock. When asked for his advice on framing, he provided some good ideas.
They called when the prints were done which was in the timeframe they provided.
And… They look beautiful and were nicely wrapped for the journey home.
I don’t think the shop was overpriced similar to other shops I’ve used although the discount helped a lot.
I will definitely use this place again.

We decided to have some pictures framed for our nursery. From start to finish, Veronica went above and beyond to make our experience easy and stress free. She never rushed us and was very patient as we browsed through the endless range of matte and frame choices, always helping to suggest different combinations and options. The quailty and price of the frames go hand in hand. My wife and I were ecstatic with the end result. Based on their high level of customer service that is hard to find nowadays, we will be sure to use them again in the future.

I had a coupon to this store, so I went a bit out of my way to get a hockey jersey framed. It was completed in a very reasonable amount of time, and it looked very nice when it was all said and done. The guy I talked to was very helpful and friendly. I’d definitely go back if I needed something else framed.
