Art Etc Picture Framing

Had to get something framed last minute for a wedding gift and it needed to be custom. The staff were friendly, incredibly helpful, and their work was amazing. All told, cost less than the chain’s and took only 1 hour for a custom wood frame. I’ll never go to another place.

I am new to the area and headed over to Art Etc based on their Unilocal review and I couldn’t have been more happy that I did. Edie went above and beyond helping me! She cut mats for me while I waited, cleaned up an old frame I was prepared to replace and offered great advice/​tips all while helping me keep to a budget. I had a fantastic experience and a great time chatting with Edie and Debbie. Really nice people and a wonderful business.

I needed to get two diplomas and a professional certificate framed after having let them sit around unprotected for too long. I was going to go to Michael’s or some other similar store but after hearing how outrageous their prices are (especially without any kind of coupon) I wanted to shop around and found Art Etc. in my own neighborhood. I’ve lived in the area for years and never noticed it, but I’m sure glad I discovered it!
I went in on a Saturday morning to check out their pricing to see how it would compare to Michael’s (with a 60% off coupon). Long story short, their prices were pretty much the same (full price at Art Etc. versus 60% at Michael’s). After visiting Art Etc. and Michael’s, I gave my business to Art Etc.
The selection of frames at this little store in Little Italy is superb! Michael’s had only a fraction of the selection. Not only that, but at Art Etc. you could walk around and touch and pick up the frame samples, which is not a luxury you get at Michael’s.
Debbie at Art Etc. was fantastic! She was so helpful and eager to help me find frames and mat colors that suited my needs. Custom framing isn’t cheap, so you want to make sure you get it right. At Michael’s you’ve got some person behind a counter trying to assist you with impatient people behind you in a line. Not good. I believe Debbie said she has 26 years of experience in framing (and certifications to go along with it), and it showed in the quality of the product I got back. Not only that, even without the supplies on hand, Art Etc. got my framed documents back to me a week faster than Michael’s said they could.
Do yourself a favor and check out Art Etc. the next time you need something framed. With competitive prices, fantastic customer service, and experienced framing professionals, there’s no reason to go anywhere else. The best part is you can feel good about supporting local businesses!
