The staff was really knowledgeable, understood my budget concerns and really helped me find a convenient option to display my paintings. I felt that the staff sincerely enjoy what they do and treat your artwork with care and respect. I found the service expensive (more than than the paintings themselves) but I have no basis of comparison and that might just be the market price for this type of work! Otherwise, great little business that I would definitely recommend !

My wife and I really love the painting and wanted to make sure it was framed properly. We did some research and decided on ConservArt.

Honest and forthcoming with their thoughts/opinions. I will be dealing with them again. I highly recommend them !!

I received very friendly and respectful service when I asked about the posters I wanted to frame. They are very large and finding frames for them was tricky. While Conservart's price to frame them, while seeming reasonable for custom framing, was too high for me and these posters, I even got the advice I needed on where to find cheaper ready-made frames. So while I am not yet a customer of Conservart, I was really impressed, and when the day comes that I own artwork I love which merits a custom frame, this is where I will go.

Very disappointing experience at Deserres Montréal - Ville-Marie…read more I bought a toy on discount and returned to the store the same day, less than 3 hours later, hoping to exchange it for another toy of exactly the same value, simply because my child preferred a different one. The exchange was refused, even though the item was unused and the request was reasonable. What was most upsetting was the rude and dismissive attitude of the staff when I calmly explained the situation. I understand store policies, but customer service should also include courtesy and basic understanding. Given the circumstances, I believe some form of compensation (such as a store credit or exception exchange) would be appropriate to acknowledge the poor customer experience.

This is a tough place to review (for reasons which will become evident as one reads my story). Do I…read morebestow 1 star or 5 stars here? Hard to say. I'll go mid-way and give it an average 3 star rating. Here's what happened: My mom and I wanted to reframe an original watercolor which came to us in a heavy black wooden frame. We intended to put it in a small powder room, in close vicinity to another watercolor that was framed in a delicate rose-gold metal narrow frame. Ideally, we were looking for a similarly toned metal frame (rose gold or similar). We pass this frame shop daily, as my parents live a few blocks away. Upon entering the shop, I was very impressed by the many works of art on the walls here. All were framed expertly. (I worked for years as an interior designer, and I have a degree in the field, so I kinda know professional framing. The works on display here were incredibly done, hand's down). There were original artworks, prints, and some shadowboxes, all showcasing a variety of styles and sizes, some matted and some not. All were framed incredibly beautifully. So my mom and I had confidence that this shop would do a great job on our project. We chose a frame to compliment the existing work in the powder room (it didn't match exactly but was close in rose gold coloration and thickness of the metal frame). The lady behind the counter pointed out the minor buckling of the existing matte and suggested they replace it. She was right, the matte did need to be replaced. Might as well, if we're updating the frame, right? Might as well do it right. She quoted us a price (way higher than I'd estimated, but hey, this is custom work, so I knew it wouldn't be cheap. Still, the artwork was small and it came to roughly $175) and she said it'd take about 6 weeks. My mom paid the 50% deposit. And we waited. The work was ready for pick up 2 months later. When my mom went to get it, she was shocked that the frame was not rose gold but, rather, a pure silver metal. Totally NOT how she remembered her order. And not how I remembered it, either. The lady employee said this has happened quite a bit in the past, where customers don't remember what they ordered, so she got in the habit of taking a photo of the frame that was ordered at the time of ordering. And she showed my mother the photo she took 2 months ago of the frame we ordered. (My mom said the photo was not definitive in how clearly it depicted the metal tones, so it really proved nothing). Now, I was not present when my mom picked up the work. But the sheer fact that the employee said that this issue happened frequently leads me to believe that this is not a one-off occurrence. And I would STRONGLY recommend anyone placing an order here to take their OWN photos of the frame (and matte) they are ordering, and to take notes on everything, as it may be many weeks (or months) until you get your work back. Is it possible that both my mother and I were incorrect in thinking we had ordered a rose gold-hued metal frame, and we instead ordered a silver metal frame instead? Sure, it's possible. But not probable. The work itself was framed and matted beautifully, and it does look nice in the powder room. It's just not how we imagined it to be.

Out…read moreof the six places I called, only three bothered to pick up the phone; and of those three, Acco Photo had the lowest prices. This was not a "you get what you pay for" situation. As their website states, "you are so welcomed to our store." I walked into their clean, naturally lit space and was immediately greeted by Annie and her husband (As in, they stopped what they were doing, walk towards the counter, had genuine smiles on their faces, and said "hi."). If their old-school customer service wasn't enough to keep me there, their mounted certifications would've been ample. As a photographer, Annie was quick on the draw. She made sure to snap enough picks to have something decent to choose from; and they cleaned up my best shot without Gabourey Sidibe-ing me. 'Nough said. As a professional photo and multimedia studio, Acco Photo still shows that the small stuff is a priority by hanging a large map that displays the 288 countries whose passport specs they follow. They're multi-lingual (English, French, and Chinese...but they may have more up their sleeve), fast, knowledgable, and a place I'd definitely give my money to again.

Dedicated to supplying artists, advertising agencies, local art schools and DIY crafters since 1950 and with branches across Canada you can find fairly much everything you might need to get creative in this creativity complex. In my experience, it's great to chat with the staff here about what you're working on or looking for. The organization is a bit complex because they have so much stuff, so it's helpful to have one of the wise young art students leading you around, plus: adorable. The vibe in here is clean, bright and modern, not at all the inspiring sense of dripping with history and the labours of love as you find in true old school places like Pearl Paint in NYC, but it gets the job done in style. Some items suffer from the usual Montreal markup, but they make up for it by having in-house brands for things like sketchbooks that are really cheap.
