CD's with the artists signature, piece of cake. Newspaper pages of Barry Bonds hitting his 500 HR with a ticket stub and a photo, no sweat. The most unique thing I had Peggy frame was bar coasters and beer bottle caps from a beer tour we did in Europe. She frames moments in my life that I get to display and they become conversation pieces. She takes the time to find the right frame color/style, border or no border and the right protection from the sun. This review is long overdue but it's time to share what a wonderful job she does.

The owner is very knowledgeable although I don't find him very friendly. I feel he would rather be doing something better with his time but he does respond when I ask questions. He has never offered suggestions to help - like saying "try this piece as it is almost the same as the one you are looking at but half the price and you don't need that big a piece" or "this piece is hard to cut and won't work with the lead you have just picked out". He holds classes at the shop which always look well attended. He always wraps the supplies very well to protect them.

The parking and getting there is a bit bizarre since there's an underpass bridge that the mall…read moreitself goes over I think? It reminds me of a smaller Del Amo Fashion Mall if anything. Parking and driving around looked quite busy in the front where you can see that tiny Trader Joe's that's overshadowed by the giga Whole Foods and what I think are protestors against Uniqlo, I think. Never seen protestors for that brand in particular, but it is what it is. There's LOTS of college students (near SFSU apparently) and Zoomers since it was, I suppose it's after school on a Tuesday. Parking the back was no issue. Also a decent selection of shops that I would go to normally, like Daiso or Miniso, as well as a Round 1. Neat that they have a Quickly's that looks like it's untouched by time (portraits of cute Ulzzang style workers enjoying the drinks and food there), there's charging tables, and a good amount of eateries and options to get boba and snacks. Completely incomprehensible unless you're specifically from the 626, but this mall reminds me of a mix between the Santa Anita mall and the West Covina mall (during it's prime). Pretty bustling and lots of businesses that actually interest me. I think my only qualm is that everything is at a smaller scale and smaller store, like their Pop Mart and Miniso are markedly smaller with a smaller stock, so keep that in mind.

They have a lot of catalogs (physical and digital) to look from if they don't have it in store. We picked one we liked and they delivered and assembled it for us in the room we wanted it in for free. The only thing is that the delivery date took a little longer than they expected so be careful of that if you're in dire need of the item asap. The pricing is on the affordable and fair side so if I need something else, I will definitely come back.

Making beautiful home interiors is my profession and I always need help finishing up projects which is why I am so grateful to have Slate Gallery. Danielle and her partner Shelly are extremely knowledgeable about the artists they represent and they curate a beautiful collection. They are also able to source art from other galleries so when they don't have the exact thing a client wants they are able to pull from other local dealers. And not only that, they bring the art to my clients after they have spent time learning about what they want and where it is going to hang in the house. We have come to rely on them greatly here at LMB Interiors and our clients rave about their great service. I highly recommend.
