All I did was tear away the protective plastic from the plexiglass and behold Spiderman, Wolverine, and the Hulk were watching TV with me! p.s. they even came with these protective bags that Sam guaranteed to survive World War Hulk.

I only use the Cedar Shoals Dr location of this business, but have had framing projects done here for years and the finished work is always excellent. Framing can be expensive, so I particularly appreciate how much time the staff spends on finding mat/frame combinations that show my pieces to greatest advantage, yet stay within my budget. A couple of times, I needed their professional expertise on something small and I was not charged. It is that kind of personal service that keeps me coming back. read more
