1-Star Review I regret to say this, but after three separate botched framing jobs, I am permanently done with Mitre & Bevel. The recurring problem is basic and inexcusable: they repeatedly cut rabbet openings too small for stretched canvases--cutting the opening to the exact outer dimensions of the canvas with no clearance, which is not proper framing practice. Any professional framer knows you must allow extra space (at least 1/8") so a canvas can actually fit into the frame. This happened three different times. Most recently, I ordered a custom 22" × 31" wood frame for an exhibition-bound painting. The Mitre & Bevel owner personally measured the canvas in front of me and wrote the dimensions down. When the frame was delivered, the canvas would not fit because the rabbet opening was cut exactly to the canvas size. Instead of taking responsibility, the framing manager, as well as the owner, insultingly blamed my canvas, claiming it "wasn't square." I have been stretching my own canvases for over 40 years and know how to square stretcher bars properly. Even if a canvas were slightly out of square, that is precisely why clearance is required in the first place. When I spoke directly with the owner, he again blamed my canvas and then stated--astonishingly--that they "shave the rabbets all the time because they're too small." That is not something to brag about. It is an admission of systematic poor workmanship. Shaving rabbets after the fact is a workaround, shows a lack of framing abilities and is not professional framing. I requested that the frame be re-cut properly rather than shaving the existing rabbet (which can lead to uneven depth, poor seating, and long-term issues). The owner refused and instead offered to refund my deposit rather than stand behind their work. At that point it was clear that Mitre & Bevel does not accept accountability, blames the customer and does not follow proper framing standards for stretched canvas. For comparison, I immediately took the same painting to Art Works Gallery & Picture Framing Center in Palm Desert, California, where I was treated professionally and with respect and my painting was framed immediately and correctly without issue--confirming that the canvas was never the problem. All in time for my important art exhibition. If you are a professional artist, collector, who values their artwork or anyone needing precise, exhibition-quality framing, I strongly recommend Art Works Gallery & Picture Framing Center in Palm Desert, California. After three times that Mitre & Bevel cut my frames too small for my paintings and after giving them three chances, I can only conclude that Mitre & Bevel does not respect their customers, know how to cut frames properly for stretched canvases, relies on excuses and after-the-fact short cut fixes to avoid their self induced financial losses due to framing incompetence, instead of correct workmanship. If you want to avoid poor quality picture framing, poor customer service and lack of accountability...by all means, stay clear of Mitre & Bevel. read more

We came here on a recommendation from a friend and are glad we did. We have tried 2 framing places in Palm Springs previously, and Mitre & Bevel is the only place we have found that do quality work, at a reasonable price, who don't take weeks to turn pieces around. They spent some time with us to pick out the perfect frame, and turned around our two large canvases in 3 days. We're glad we found them. Highly recommended. read more

I've had several works framed by Miter & Bevel They have been fantastic every time. Five stars plus! Clare Mc Michael, the genius framer, is friendly, and experienced with advice. Brilliant communication, extremely efficient, and all executed to an incredibly high standard,. right up to the finish, neatly wrapped and protected. An absolute pleasure to deal with. The best framers in the Valley and in my opinion - California! read more

Less than zero stars. I scheduled an appnt for picture hanging for John with Wanda/Ronda (?) and then subsequently called and rescheduled the appnt for an earlier time. On the date of the appnt, John was a no show at the agreed upon time and the showroom that I scheduled the appnt through is closed on Monday so I couldn't reach a live person. I called the other showroom and she reached out to John who phoned me to say that he had the original appnt time on his calendar. I'm working with a client and drove 2.5 hrs from LA each way specifically for this appnt (in addition to addt'l fees paid to have art pieces delivered over the weekend for the Monday appnt). John had a "whatever" attitude and no one bothered to even follow up with me on Tuesday when the showroom was open. I phoned and spoke with Ronda on Tuesday to understand what happened and she claimed to have no memory of the discussion rescheduling the appnt. I was in my car when I spoke with her and actually pulled up my dashcam footage and found the bluetooth conversation with Ronda rescheduling the appnt, so I'm not crazy or getting things confused. She's just full of sh*t and has no accountability. We all make mistakes and while I wouldn't have scheduled another appnt with them, I wouldn't be leaving this review if she had just owned up and been accountable and apologetic. Net-net, they're pretty careless with scheduling/calendars, but more importantly is the lack of customer service and basic courtesy of following up with clients. I would have no clients if I behaved in this manner. If you're a designer-steer clear of this cluster-f*ck. If you're hiring them directly, steer clear or beware. BTW, I phoned a local designer w/my 911 and he referred me to BRETT AT SIGNATURE SCULPTURE and they completely saved the day for me and the client. They were able to squeeze this job in on the same day that the Mitre/Bevel bozos were supposed to come out (hanging 12 pieces). I would give them 6 stars if I could-completely professional, wonderful friendly installers w/trained eyes, super quick and efficient, neat/clean (wore booties and gloves). They're also reasonably priced. read more

Attitude Attitude Attitude....Beware of an attitude that does not value artists. Delays and poor communication. Be careful trusting your treasured art work with this particular shop. There are several frame shops to choose from in the desert area. read more
