The lady asked me what I wanted it for and went above and beyond by grabbing a piece of paper and showing me other ways to do it. What I had imagined to be too much work, seemed very simple after all, after the little demo from her. So thankful for this store and its employees!

I found New Dimensions on Yelp and immediately headed over and explained my situation. I was not surprised at all to hear that this normally would take a day or so, and even if expedited would take at least a couple hours to re-frame. So I was thrilled when Jade called me back in about an hour and I was able to pick it up, take it to my meeting, and present the gift. I was in a real tough spot, and New Dimensions went the extra mile for me. I found the price very reasonable, especially considering the quality and speed that the work was completed in.

I can't recommend Ace Frames. As a Kirkland resident I wanted to give my business to a local shop, so I brought a moderately large original piece to "Al" to be reframed. The experience was, let's say, sub-optimum. - I didn't take this piece elsewhere to cost it out, but based on previous experience, his prices are at the high end. - It took 5 weeks to get the piece back, when I was led to expect 2-3 weeks. And I have the feeling that if I hadn't started calling regularly after almost a month, it might have taken longer. - In all my visits, Al seemed disorganized, overwhelmed and unhappy. When I stopped by the shop after 4 weeks to check on progress, he literally couldn't find my artwork. There are plenty of other options for a framing shop, and no reason to deal with the stress and uncertainty of going here.

This is the first and last time I will ever take anything to be framed at Lake City Picture…read moreFraming. Point blank, the shop is unable to deliver a quality product on time or by their own self imposed deadlines for remakes, but the owner made the entire experience even worse. I was referred to Lake City Picture Framing to frame a great print by Sylvia Gonzalez. I was so excited when I picked it up on Dec 16, I didn't see the issues. It was a $220 job for a basic black wood frame 20 by 36 with spacers. Artwork was already mounted on backer board to float in the frame. After I hung it noticed one of the corners had such huge gap that you could stick a dime in it; all four corners were messed up. If you do woodworking you'll understand. When they cut the wood, it obviously wasn't at a 90 degree angle to the saw. So not only were they cutting a 45, they were also cutting an angle from the front to back of the frame. I called that same day about the issues and was told to bring it back in. I wasn't able to take it back until Dec 23. The interaction I had with the owner that day just left me just dumbfounded. * She would not take responsibility or apologize for the poor workmanship. * She rudely stated that the artwork would be floating in the frame. That's the way it is supposed to be. That's not the issue. * She seemed annoyed that the frame had to be remade. If they had done it right the first time, I would not have been there and they wouldn't be doing it a 2nd time. (And now a 3rd time.) * She would not give me a receipt for the artwork; I had to ask for it. For the second time, I'm handing over a piece of art that I paid good money for. Yes, I would like a receipt from you acknowledging you have the artwork. * When confirming my phone number since they never called, she claimed people don't set up their voicemail or delete messages. She repeated that twice. My mother left me a voicemail earlier that same day; my voicemail works. Stop blaming the customer for your employee potentially dialing the wrong number. * She stated the new frame would be done on Friday, December 26, but then back tracked right as I walked out of the shop. Surprisingly, I received a call the next day that the frame was already done. They rushed it for me. Yup rushed. All four corners not aligned with gaps. One corner was even scratched up. Try three here we come. Jan 3rd, since I hadn't heard from them, I called. Employee stated she didn't know the status and since the shop was so busy would I mind a call back. No problem. Call back was from the owner. She started down the same path about how I wasn't satisfied with the work, they've been in business for over 40 years and the corners were "only slightly off." When I called out the fact that there were gaps in all four corners and one corner was even scratched up, her attacking attitude diminished. HOWEVER, she stated point blank her shop does not guarantee that frames will not have scratches. What?! A brand, new $220 frame coming out of her shop can have scratches?! I asked her to clarify what she meant and she reiterated what she said adding that the scratches were from the frame stock they use. So why use scratched stock to begin with? She stated it would be completed by January 6. On my way home from the office Jan 6 around 2:45pm, I called to see if it was ready. Nope. Spoke with owner; again abrupt and rude. Long story short. Not done. She stated it was on the table being worked and that it would be finished after an employee came back from lunch. Ready for pickup at 5pm. Because of the time from my home to LCPF, I stopped by my way home from work on the 7th. Again, not done. Well, I finally rescued my artwork today, Jan 8th. Let's just say black frames will show every imperfection especially big ones. I'm done dealing with them. Yet, I unfortunately had one more interaction with the owner. This time she actually apologized. Seriously, how many interactions later? Too little, way too late. I stated I don't want to talk to her, but she wanted to keep on talking and prove how she was right. I called out the fact that it wasn't done the day prior even though she told me it would be done two days earlier. She went down the excuse path. If there truly was an issue with one of her employees, where was the call telling me not to come Jan 6 at 5pm. There wasn't one. Had someone called me, I wouldn't have been as annoyed on Jan 7th. As I was walking out of the shop, she stated "I just can't satisfy you." I responded "No, you can't." Honestly, I really feel sorry for the employees of the shop. If the owner is treating customers this poorly, how bad does she treat them? The only thing I can say to the owner is "Own the poor workmanship, stop with the excuses, inform your customers, don't attack your customers and just apologize when things go wrong." And the only thing I can say to a prospective customer, "Don't go there."

I brought in a print I had bought directly from an artist in Mexico City and the person who helped me select the frame a matting was courteous and very helpful. My low rating is based solely on Gail who checked me and my friend out was slow in responding, and just flat out rude. She didn't even offer to show me the finished work. The frame and mat came out beautiful but her rudeness certainly distracted from the whole experience and even though I have two additional pieces coming from this artist I WILL NOT be taking them here to be framed and matted.

We compared the sample noted in the order (grayish color), and the result (almost black) and the difference was obvious. The store personnel informed me they cannot control how the color of the frame would turn out ...? They offered to re-do everything with a different wood but their selection was quite limited (and if the color isn't something that is guaranteed - what is the point to redo the work? Also, the wood in that frame wasn't completely finished and they had to stain parts of it over. The quality of frames degraded, but prices doubled up. I was very disappointed.
