I've gone to frame monster to get several art prints framed on a friend's recommendation. just as she said, the staff are very nice and accommodating, especially as this is my first visit to any frame store. they helped me with every part of the process and we're very accommodating in every way. Mike, the owner is very knowledgeable and one of the most down to earth and polite people I've worked with. I highly recommend going to Fremont design laboratory do you have any type of work framed. - Eric (happy customer) read more

Lots of amazing prints and frame selections! I wasn't able to purchase anything during my visit, but the owner was kind enough to go out of his way to help me source a specific frame material at the 11th hour of my work project. Was able to get the specialized part just in time. Can't wait to come back here for my own personal projects read more

Mike is the best! He did a rush job on a meaningful piece for a young AmeriCore leader who has been working tirelessly with the S. Pas YMCA in relief effort for the people of Altadena. Mike took the time to learn all about the person who was receiving the framed poster. He made sure it matched the integrity of both the piece and the person. I'm so grateful for his time and the understanding he brought to the frame. Truly a gifted human. read more

Have been coming to Mike for years the entire team is amazing! As an avid collector of posters from events and travel I can tell you there really is no better place to protect your investments and memories than here. They can work with any budget and any size piece. I have been in and out of the gallery my fare share and have seen so many amazing pieces. Attached are several photos and these aren't even all the pieces I've had done, the collection goes into rotation depending on the season! read more

I came to Frame Monster last week, Thursday, with a rush job that needed to be ready by today ( Monday) so I could give it as a gift to my best friend on her birthday - Mike was sooo SO accommodating. He helped me pick out the exact perfect frame and totally worked within my budget to do an amazing and beautiful job for my print. AND he texted me on Saturday to let me know that it was finished and available to pick up that day.... 2 days early. I recommend this shop to everyone looking for a really nice framing job with a guy who knows what he's doing with reasonable prices and amazing customer service. read more

I can't say enough good things about the guys at Frame Monster. They're so helpful, smart, talented and have great taste. I almost always do the Dealer's Choice because on top of being an incredible value, whatever they think is going to look great is always so much better than what I was thinking. Be aware that sometimes they're really busy - the cost of being so good, I guess - but the one time I came in and said I needed something soon they were lightning fast and did their typically incredible job. read more

Amazing, friendly and speedy service. 24 hour turnaround for my holiday frames. Highly recommend!!

I had a great experience working with the team at Frame Monster. I recommend them enthusiastically and would be glad to work with them again in the future. I had two pieces-one which needed a special frame, and one that was bold and simply needed to be framed nicely. Both turned out beautifully. The smaller item, a signed poster, had a small smudge that the designers at Frame Monster were able to remove. I was grateful for their effort to "clean up" the poster before framing it. I was additionally impressed with the thoughtful measures they had in place for COVID-19 safety at the studio. I've been staying close to home and not entering many businesses since early March, and I felt very comfortable during my appointment. I don't have amazing pictures but I'm including shots of the finished projects to demonstrate how carefully they were packed for transport. Frame Monster has a unique and extensive collection of frame options, and their team additionally does neat work in-house with paint and other modifications. I had high expectations based on the work on their website-I am pleased to report that my expectations were met! Bravo and thanks. read more

Thank you Mike for the "same day spur of the moment" service that you gave me...plus you always do such an awesome job!!!

They're very slow. They're good at working within a budget. But expect to wait a couple months longer than they tell you.

Professionals who know what they're doing and will work with you to find a frame you like at a price you can afford. My new spot for getting custom framing. read more

Grandma's "dancing rabbis" print from 1964 needed a face-list and the guys at Frame Monster did the job in time for a grand unveiling at the next family gathering. Frame Monster is exactly the right balance of cutting edge techniques, quality materials, AND the personalization, thoughtfulness, and 'chutzpah' of my grandparent's generation, where things were done right the first time and humans treated one another like humans. Aunt Gertrude used to say (in Yiddish), "Better an ounce of happiness than a pound of gold." However, at Frame Monster you get happiness and a lot of bang for your buck. B'shert. Frame monster is my framing soulmate. read more

Frame Monster absolutely nailed it with the pieces I brought to them. The whole process was easy and fun. I called to schedule an appointment and they were able to have me come in that same week to drop off my pieces and sort out the look for framing. Mike was awesome -- he really took the time with me when I had no set vision for what I wanted done. He's super creative and brings some killer ideas to the table if you're not sure which direction to go. You can tell he and the team are all invested in making the art look stellar. It's also just fun to work with someone who's as excited about it all as you are! I also did some smaller pieces with the 'Dealer's Choice' option they have. I love what they did with them. Can't recommend it enough if you're happy to have them play around with things/you're not dead set on what you want. I really appreciated the fact that the shop has sanitizer and gloves they ask people to use before going through their materials, and that they're limiting people in the space for safety. And lastly, they're great about deadlines. Their were quite transparent up front that timelines are longer at the moment while they're short on staff. But they were also clear that whatever your set time is, they'll get the work done for it. I've already brought another round of work over to them, and plan to bring more shortly. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Had a birthday emergency and Mike came to my rescue with an awesome CUSTOM frame and somehow was able to make it same day! Didn't think I could love this place any more. High quality work and they are so nice and always accommodating and today was beyond. Thank you!!! read more

This shop is absolutely the coolest from its exterior to the interior and the people that work there I was driving by when their sign outside caught my eye I decided to stop In For a look I did not have any measurements for what I was going frame and not only did I get excellent help they were very patient with me and I am one indecisive girl not only did they show me every piece I was interested in and give me as many quotes as I asked for they were patient enough for me to go ahead and place my order feeling completely at ease with the quality of work I will be getting can't wait for my order to be finished read more

As always, my experience at Frame Monster is great. I've been working with them for years now. Mike has always been great to work with and thoughtful when giving my projects the attention they need. Also, if your project is a RUSH, like mine was, he can make it work to get yours out quickly. A great NELA resource! read more

This is LA institution. Spend 5 minutes in their shop and you'll see they've done work for some of the biggest names in the LA art scene. As an artist, I'm stoked to have found this team to work with. They crush it!! read more

This place really is as good as it gets. I looked up the shop after seeing an ad they placed in the NELA Art Newspaper and saw their great portfolio / reviews so I emailed Mike and asked if he was available that morning to go over some pieces I needed framed. We met up a few hours later and and I have to say I was quickly impressed with his overall demeanor, business model, and craftsmanship. I have been to more than my share of framers and they're all good but this is the kind of place that has the something special about it I was looking for. I took three pieces in to get framed and they are by far the nicest frames I have in my art collection. The frames give the artwork a beautiful setting and enhance it perfectly without being invasive. I ended up spending a little more than what I had in mind but Mike honored the Yelp discount and the quality and aesthetic is far superior to what I have gotten before. UV glass, double matte, fabric, etc. I can no longer get my collection framed anywhere else after seeing how ridiculously great these came out. They plan on opening full retail hours in the coming months but if you're hesitant because of the appointment only hours right now don't be. Give Mike a call or email and he'll accommodate you. His turnaround time is also unbeatable! Five stars all the way! read more

As a repeat customer of Frame Monster, I dropped off an academic certificate for framing just prior to the COVID stay at home orders. Mike Gonzalez remained in continuous contact with me individually and by group emails of his status to fulfill outstanding orders. When he told me his suppliers shipped the materials, he also refused my offer to cover any additional expense he may have incurred in materials and shipping. His work for this framing job is impeccable, as always. His integrity as a business owner is beyond 5 stars. read more

I put off framing 3 pieces of art that are very important to me because it felt like such an investment - and what if something went wrong? The pieces aren't crazily valuable, but they are irreplaceable and close to my heart. Finally - at the recommendation of my sister, who has used Frame Monster through the Mt. Washington PTA - I went in and nervously talked to Mike about what would look best on the paintings. He suggested choices I might not have made, but I didn't trust my own judgement, so I went with his recommendations. When we got the 3 pieces back - wow! Not only do they look amazing, the quality of both the materials and that craftsmanship is excellent. My mom had a frame shop back in the '90s, and she was a perfectionist. Let's just say, she was impressed! The framing isn't cheap, but it's worth worth the cost. read more

If there was ever a land of frames this place would be it. My partner and I have had SEVERAL pieces framed from here and each time *chefs kiss.
