This was located right off the highway close to the total wine and more plaza. At first I was scared the prices were going to be sky high, but it was actually affordable; they even have a members reward program that she signed up for. She found everything she was looking for. The workers were polite and the aisles were clean. We will definitely come back.

I was recently shocked to find out how poorly this company treats its long time repeat customers…read more Over the last deacde, my family has spent nearly $10k framing art for our home and for gifts. No more. Not here. I have always paid 1/2 up front and 1/2 upon pick up. Yet, when I returned to claim my framing this time, I was informed that the store had made an error and the total bill had increased by 35% from roughly $1,000 to nearly $1,500. I had been telephoned 3x in 24 hours by the owner, reminding me that my framing was ready to be picked up. Not once, in any of those telephone conversations, did he raise the change in price. He left that to the employee behind the counter. I was given no choice. I also run a small business and do understand that employees make errors. When they do, our firm owns up to it immediately and the customer NEVER pays for our errors. Our average price point dwarfs that of Creative Framing, so mistakes are quite costly. As for the "honesty, integrity and loads of creativity" that Creative Framing advertises on their web site, I guess one out of of three is about par for the course!

Originally I visited Creative Framing because they're located in my neighborhood of Cos Cob and I…read morelike the idea of supporting local businesses. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant at first, as I was accustomed to taking my art to my picture framer in Manhattan who always did incredible work. Upon entering I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted warmly by the young man behind the counter. It turned out he was the manager of the store and had over 25 years of experience working as a professional picture framer in New York City. The manager had excellent design and color sense, was very patient and made sure I was aware of every detail of the custom framing process. My custom framing job turned out great and I'm very confident that my valuable artwork has been properly preserved with acid-free materials and museum glass. I found my new framer!

I was very unsatisfied with my experience today in Michael's. I needed help finding pencils and the…read morewoman at the register said where to find the pencils very snidely. I think she needs some training on how to deal with people and customer service. I have worked in customer service for years and I'm definitely much younger than her and I have more experience how to treat customers nicely. And of course always be helpful. That's your entire job. I think she needs a talk from the manager on how to talk to customers nicely. Just wanted to give some feedback and critiquing.
