So when a different picture accidentally fell off a wall I went back to have the glass cut and replaced. Again, they were fast and reasonable. I highly recommend U-Frame-It for your framing needs. They really know what they're doing!

He took special care with my great grandmothers recipe when framing it. I was very impressed with the wonderful customer service and the speed with which my frame was complete (less than 2 days). I'd recommend Jon and U-Frame-It to anyone who is looking for a warm experience! Thanks again!

He takes the same attention to detail and exactness as he treats his own personal intricate art designs. He knows the most important thing is what is being framed. Paul Douglas gives this subject respect, "artfully!" (Yeah, okay, I've known him since high school. Paul is a good man.)

In addition to suggesting beautiful frames/matting for every piece (new & old), he did an amazing job caring for the heirloom pieces. He made sure hand-written inscriptions, titles, and artists' signatures were preserved and displayed in a way that was tasteful and complementary to the piece. I will be taking another round to him shortly. Highly recommend.

I started a class there this summer, but was unfortunately unable to finish it out due to outside circumstances. Linda was willing to work with me on the money I had paid for not being able to complete the course. I was really pleased with their responsiveness. The class itself was very informative. The teacher was attentive, and able to answer any questions. I think that others would enjoy taking these classes.

Linda was extremely helpful and patient with our group lesson. She fired the pottery and we came back to glaze it before she fired it a second time. You can also buy a variety of gifts including from the adjacent jewelry and pottery studio or, better yet, make your own gift for someone special. It's a laid back atmosphere and they offer as much or little assistance as you prefer. Keep your eye out for the Gallery Nights they host complete with snacks and occasional live music. We bought 4 really cool hand made cups intended for Sake wine (but they're also ideal for espresso and baby food!) at the one we attended recently. Higher Fire is a place you've probably driven/walked past dozens of times but never stopped. Next time check it out and I bet you'll be glad you did! Plus it's always nice to support our local small businesses.

We stopped at their warehouse/larger store (there is also a design center downtown) and found a large showroom full of things I'd very much like to buy. There's a clearance area off to the side that sells floor models and returns at good discounts. We were looking for some lounge-y chairs and there were options aplenty. Helping us was very knowledgeable Barb who was never intrusive and let us look around. After making the rounds, we kept coming back to one specific chair - Barb let us know they had 2 in stock from a cancelled order (most things are made to order) in our preferred color, plus they were included in their anniversary sale. SOLD!! I work on the commercial furniture side and felt that the quality here was oberall very high and the prices, for what you get, are pretty fair. It's not IKEA prices to be fair but it's also not made in China crap that will fall apart and bottom out in a few months. You'll love it if: you appreciate mid century or modern design, want a high level of quality, want to customize items. You won't like it if: you need cupholders in your furniture.

This is not a Goodwill or St Vincent store so don't expect that quality or price range. This is the good stuff with good value for what you get. The variety of things change fairly quickly so its worth a look every couple of weeks if you have something specific in mind. Do not drop in with a piece of furniture without calling first. The owners know what sells and what doesn't so call and send pictures before going. Small quality things are generally appreciated like table top stuff or good art. Masks are required of course. Give them a shot. It's never too crowded in there and it's a big space so you can keep your distance from others.

Called their office after the unsuccessful follow-ups, and their response was "Did they not send it to you?". Claimed they would get right on it and they still didn't. Called again 2 days later and they *finally* got to it later that day. Upon pickup, the award was made on completely different and more expensive material than we had ordered in the past. Seemed like they scrambled to get this together. Going elsewhere for future purchases.

The bigger problem is that they are not upfront about costs. Thought it was going to cost $20 but then it cost $40. No call, no heads up.
