The owner is very patient and is a great help in picking out the perfect frame combo for your piece. He is very knowledgeable about different framing options and has a good eye for what will look nice. I had to have a piece framed for work and did a price comparison between here and Michael's and found their prices to be comparable (even with Michael's discounts). If you could have your art framed locally by a professional business owner instead of a chain store for close to the same price, why wouldn't you? The shop has lots of great art, décor and gifts too! I highly recommend this business.

I will attach a picture, although my I phone camera doesn't do it justice. YES I recommend this business!

Totally exceeded my expectations. Wow. Andy knows what he's doing, and helped me pick out the best frame and mat for a beloved print. (And, he nailed the combo on the first try. I asked to look at some other options and it was clear that they weren't right.) He answered all my questions and helped me understand the options. I learned a lot! I guess that's what they call customer service. Who knew??! The only other comparison I have for framing is a large craft store where I've had a few things framed, and they weren't nearly as helpful or knowledgeable - and they cost more. I was determined to not go back to the craft store for this job, and somehow lucked out and found Art and Frame World in my own backyard! So, now I (and my family and friends) have a framing place!

A year ago, he was very helpful in selecting the frame, timeline was reasonable, and price was fantastic. I was expecting to pay a lot more than I did! Fast forward a year and Andy continued his wonderful customer service. The 3 framed pictures were placed on a wall in our basement. It turns out the humidity was not great down there so the prints started to ripple under the glass. I took them to Andy to see if he could fix them. I was ready to pay to have them fixed since it was my fault, but he insisted that I wouldn't be paying anything. He said, "This is what we do." Andy's team took the frames apart and tried flatting them. Unfortunately, they are too rippled, but I appreciate Andy's willingness to help me try to fix them. Big lessons learned: 1) watch the humidity level in your basement if you have framed prints and 2) ANDY ROCKS!! I two thumbs up. I highly recommend Andy and his shop. Lots of selection, great prices, fantastic service. He is in fact MN nice!!!

I had to frame big photographs for a show recently, and was looking at framing costs close to $1000 per print. Yikes. The gallerist in Brooklyn recommended Metropolitan. I took the plunge. The prices were about 1/3 what I found locally. And the quality is absolutely first rate. They worked with me to meet a deadline, and the frames were perfect. A couple of caveats: if you're ordering online, you have to know what you want, and be certain of it. Their website doesn't offer a lot of tools to help you choose moulding, and the pictures that show their various finishes are small and not very accurate. Measure carefully. Measure again. Double-check that you entered the measurements correctly! No one else is going to do it. And of course, you have to be comfortable handling the glazing and assembly once the frames show up. If you're using plexiglass and don't have an adequately big, dust-free workspace, you could be in for some unhappiness. I'd suggest researching online how to clean plexi and remove static charge while working with it. The frames I got were made with maple moulding that they mill in-house. They were assembled with cabinet joints in the corners (awesome) and perfectly finished with tranlucent lacquer after assembly. Much nicer than frames built with pre-finished moulding. These were as nice as anything I've seen in museums. I'll definitely use Metro again, but will make sure I have plenty of time and clear space for the assembly process. Doing it perfectly and keeping everything clean is not trivial.
