I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan at Orion Custom Framing on Polk Street -- he is…read morean absolute gem! I brought in a mirror that had separated from its frame, and honestly wasn't sure it could be saved. Jonathan not only took on the challenge, but completed the repair right then and there while I waited -- and the finished product was absolutely perfect -- you'd never know it had ever been damaged. What truly set the experience apart was his efficiency. He was respectful of my time from start to finish, and the speed of the repair exceeded my expectations. Before I left, he carefully and thoughtfully packed everything so it could travel home safely. That attention to detail really speaks to the level of care he puts into every piece. Orion Custom Framing is the kind of shop you feel lucky to have discovered, and Jonathan is the kind of craftsman you want handling your most treasured pieces. I'm already looking forward to bringing in my next framing project. Highest possible recommendation -- five stars, without hesitation!

I looked around my neighbourhood to find a place nearby since it looked like my regular store had shut down. I couldn't find *anything* nearby but Frame123 wasn't too far out and looked near where my previous store was. I texted the shop owner and while it took a few days to get an appointment set up, it was entirely reasonable and within the same week. I headed on down at the appointed time and imagine my surprise when I found that this new shop was located in the exact same spot as the previous shop I used to go to! When I walked in, I recognized the owner as the same guy (and he asked me if I'd been there before as well). Apparently this new shop is the same guy, same stock, everything as before, except new name! I was so happy because I've loved all his previous work before and the prices are good. I spent some time with the owner, working through different mat and frame options for the two pieces I brought in and between his opinion and my tastes, we got both of them worked out pretty quick. I'm still waiting to pick them up (but it's only been a week and well within the estimate I was given) but I trust that they'll look amazing. Definitely head here if you want some amazing custom framing done that's well worth the price.

I have had several pieces framed over the years. Most recently, I had a photo from a NYT article framed alongside the headline. The recipient LOVED the finished product. And it was reasonably priced given that it was custom framed. I returned recently to get a couple of custom mats for some off-the-shelf frames that I had bought at Target. The owner passed no judgment on the Target frames, just offered his opinion on the best mats for my watercolors. He's going to do the installation as well. Such a lovely person. I need to get all my framing done in the next few years because I fear that he may retire in the near future!! PS: street parking is actually quite easy in front of his store!
