Pricey, but very friendly and very helpful owner, and does great work. Also a large choice of frames and glass/plastic. He put over a dozen very large posters into frames that I brought to the store, and replaced some cracked glass.
Paolo did a wonderful job framing our wedding photos. He helped us select frames and matting that worked well together. Our parents were extremely happy to receive the beautifully framed photos.
We have been so happy with the quality of Paolo's work. Paolo has framed 3 fine art prints for us, including a large one over 3ft tall, and they have all turned out exactly as desired and in archival quality. We recommend his work and will be back.
This is my second time working with Art Frame Studio for framing. The experience is great. I had a very large paint (2m x 0.8m) to frame this time. Initially I picked a thin golden frame. The material received was a little more red than the original color. Paolo was very kind to offer a free upgrade to more pricy wide golden frame, which worked great with my paint. The finished work looks amazing. I am very happy with the project. Highly recommend!
Great work & straight forward pricing! Very pleased with the their recommendations and the final outcome. :)
If you want personalized service and archival quality, this is the place to go! A few years ago I had a small watercolor framed here. So when I returned with a larger painting, I knew I wanted anti-reflective glass again. Paolo suggested non-glare acrylic because of the size, and I'm so grateful. I hadn't considered the weight difference. It's this kind of knowledge from years of experience that his clientele appreciates.
Paolo did a great job framing a leather vest for a friend's memorial with a very short turn around time. He also helped add more items to it once the event was done and we had more time to work on it.
We have had the pleasure of having two personal items framed by Art Frame Studio. More recently, we had four student class projects framed for our annual benefit for tuition assistance. Paolo gave generously of his time and talent to ensure our projects had a professional finish. Thank you Paolo and Art Frame Studio for your incredible work and support! We hope to work with you again soon.
The workmanship on the frame was really nice, but Paolo felt entitled to display the painting in the shop window without asking for permission. The painting was a portrait of my grandmother by a friend of hers, so I feel sentimental about it, and it was never intended as a show piece. After noticing it on display as I was walking down Castro St in the evening, I emailed Paolo to ask to remove it from the window. He replied he could not while the shop was closed. When I picked it up two days later at mid-day, on the next day the shop was open, it was still in the window; Paolo had forgotten to take it down. It seemed inconsiderate.
If you'd like a free exhibit of the art along with framing, this is a good spot.
Went in with a custom framing request, Paolo was able to do it exactly how I wanted it and in a timely manner, and the price was reasonable. No complains, and I would gladly return if I have another item I want to custom frame.
