Had a great experience with Stanhope recently! I visited 2 other frame stores in the Cambridge /…read moreSomerville area before coming here to see how I could get one my favorite 48 x 36 inch canvas prints framed. Both of those stores quoted absurdly high prices for a basic black frame. At Stanhope, I was shown several different beautiful options for a much more reasonable price point. Everyone was friendly and respectful during Covid times and ensured that I had all the facts. The turnaround time was also significantly shorter than any other place. Will come back here for sure for my next framing!

Over a dozen jobs later, and we'll never go anywhere else. Such care and professionalism, with an artist's eye. Sure, you could go elsewhere for a cheaper slash-and-dash, but if you're at all serious about quality and professionalism... it's right there in Cushing Square.

In the two years since my last review of A Street Frames (ASF), I have had them frame 6 dozen art…read moreworks, collectible posters, and ephemera. I not only recommend ASF, I rely on them to advise, frame, and protect extremely valuable and important paintings, drawings, prints, assemblages, and collectibles. ASF stands behind their quality work which begins with pick up/intake, suggestions for best exhibiting items, and constructions that are precise and sturdy. The prices at ASF are not only competitive, they are beyond reasonable, if not inexpensive, for 5 star frames. On the rare occasion I require rapid turnaround, ASF is accommodating. Even more important, expedience does not sacrifice quality nor does it incur added expense. ASF is the best of the best.

I can't believe this place doesn't have a review!…read more I've been to probably a dozen custom framing shops in my life - A Street is far and away as good as it gets. This is a review of the one in Cambridge, I think they have other locations, but I've never been to any of those. Here's the deal... Service - the two ladies that work at A Street are probably the sweetest most amazing people I've ever interacted with in a retail setting. They don't rush anyone, they help you make good framing decisions, and they genuinely love art and framing and making customers happy. I've been there three times in total, and these ladies know my name, they remember who I am, etc. Prices - custom framing is expensive. I don't exactly know how these guys "stack up" because it's a very difficult service to comparison shop. My guess is these guys are a little more expensive than your average framing shop. I felt VERY well treated with regard to price. Quality - A Street is a very rare bird. They actually make many of their frames in house.... so they are actually a TRUE custom framer. This means that they actually modify and create frames from scratch all the time. I just brought in a painting that was an odd size, and they are going to mill out the rabbit so that it fits perfectly into the back of the frame! Go ask a regular "custom" framing shop to do something like that and they will look at you like you have three heads. These guys suggested it to me! The frames they stock are top notch, many are made in-house. A Street supplies to other framers as well... so they havea manufacturing arm. Timeliness - Sooo if you are in a huge rush, I'm not sure this is the place for you. I wouldn't know since I've never actually asked them to rush anything. I generally am cool with waiting several weeks or longer. Long story short, in my opinion, this is a place that values quality and execution over price and speed. The people are exceptional, the work quality is amazing (I think I am having my tenth thing framed with them), and you will be extremely pleased. I would run, not walk, here.

I recently stopped by Lansdowne Frame on a recommendation to get an 11x14 photograph professionally matted and framed for an upcoming student exhibition. I wasn't really sure what the process of doing this would be like, nor did I know exactly what I wanted. Luckily for me, Barry, the owner and operator of the small store, was there to guide me through it. He was super understanding and patient, and he gave me tons of options to look through. It didn't feel like he was trying to sell me on anything or rush me. Instead, it felt like he genuinely wanted to give me the best deal possible for the best quality goods. He assembled everything right before my eyes, and made sure I was happy with the end product. My photograph is now beautifully framed and ready for the exhibition. I couldn't be happier with my experiences at Lansdowne Frame (if you couldn't already tell). I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs some frame work done. Support a small local artisan business and go to Lansdowne Frame!

The woman who was working and who I assume owns the shop was SO helpful!

She wanted what I wanted! She wasn't pushy; instead she was cheery, polite, and extremely helpful. The prices were very reasonable too. I HIGHLY recommend this store for your framing needs.
