Frame Station

Have used the services of Frame Station on a number of occasions. The staff are friendly and take the time to talk through your specific framing needs, & the statement you are working toward when framing objects.Art is after all, greatened or lessened with the benefit of a proper framing. Get it wrong, and an otherwise fantastic work can be seriously diminished. Get the framing correct and it will serve to magnify & compliment the framed object.The frame station staff seem to understand these basic concepts and work diligently to apply them in their products.

I had a large photograph of my great-grandmother that I had in a glassless frame. It also had a couple of minor tears that needed repaired. I took it to FS and told them I just needed glass for the frame. The man working referred me to "a guy" who repairs artwork. There was a binder of his work. I said okay, I will try him first. I called and he gave me his address as he works out of his home in Clintonville. It turned out he only scans pieces (and not as large as what I had), not repairs them. He referred me to a shop off Kenny. I went there (the shop off Kenny) and was told they could repair my large portrait, and I also showed them a small photo I had that was stuck to the glass in the frame. Several weeks and $125 later I got both pieces back, unrepaired, and was emailed the scanned copies. This is all sidebar, because I am not reviewing that shop. I did not complain to the owner so it is not fair to write a bad review. I do appreciate the scanned photo that apparently could not be repaired (they didn't try to remove it from the glass), but I didn't need the scanned great-grandmother photo.Anyway. I took my large piece back to FS and a woman was working. She tried to refer me to "the guy" again but I said no. She then advised she could use a special art marker on the minor tears. I said yes. A week later I had my beautifully repaired and glassed in frame for around $30. It was perfect. I wish this woman had been working to begin with because she knew how to repair my piece.Let this be a warning to anyone being referred to a guy who just scans. I will definitely use this shop again.

Enormous selection -- its a little more pricey, but you get what you pay for -- excellent work. Conservation quality framing. Do you want to frame something that really matters, than this is the place you want to go. Have used this place multiple times for different items. They have shorter weekday hours and are open on the weekend, as well.

I brought in Strawberry Shortcake utensils my grandma bought me when I was a baby and a painting to have framed and Steve helped me select a great frame and mat for both. The utensils he secured in a pink shadow box. He said it would take 3 weeks but it was done in about a week. I love both! The quality is great and my customer service experience was helpful and friendly. I will definitely go back next time I have something to frame.
