From my initial call to book an appointment, email communications replied same day and when there was a glitch ordering my desired frame - Off The Wall offered clear alternatives and input. Without a doubt - if you are seeking anything to be framed - this is the place. Allison P. - owner/manager was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project. The only thing "off the wall" is not to bring your items here for framing - superb work. Bravo! Brian B. (Toronto)

Wow, what an awful experience Off the Wall was!…read more I received a large poster for my birthday, so I looked at Yelp for the top-rated frame shop in our Queen West hood and this was the top pick. Walking in, I had some ideas in mind but was also looking forward to the suggestions. My husband and I were served by a middle-aged lady who was not at all friendly and seemed to take offense at hearing our input on the kind of frame and matte combination we were interested in. At one point when I said that I wanted the matte colour to work with other things in our apartment she actually rolled her eyes at me. At another point, she commented to a co-worker that I hadn't liked her suggestion in a sarcastic tone, when I was clearly in earshot.  Getting her to show us other colour combinations was liking pulling teeth, with her audibly sighing and being incredibly rude. Worst of all, after all sorts of rigamarole about the matte colour, she suddenly announced that the poster is probably too big for a matte since adding one would mean a custom-sized pane of glass which would be too expensive. I really wish that she'd told us this at the very beginning, before wasting our time discussing matte colours  (not to mention saving us the grief).  When we were almost done, she suggested that we might want to get the poster laminated onto a board instead of putting it behind glass. Honestly, I think this was the most offensive part. My poster is valuable and lamination instantly devalues whatever you put through the process since it can't be undone. So her suggesting this made her seem unknowledgeable in addition to just plain rude.  In summary, I felt I got so much attitude in this shop and I'm not exactly sure why. All I wanted was to have some input into something that will be hanging on my wall and should go with my decor. I was telling a friend this story and she interrupted me saying: "Wait, is this Off the Wall? Because another friend went there and it was awful, they framed the wrong side of her piece." Ouch!

In November I was buying a new Epson large format photo printer for home use. The thing weighs…read moreabout 135 lbs. In prep for the printer I bought a school-style tough plastic & aluminum 4-wheeled media cart from Amazon, strong enough to support the weight of the printer. Unfortunately the design of the cart had the handles rise above the top level of the cart. Based on measurements it appeared that the printer would be resting on the handles rather than the shelf itself. I looked through Amazon for 'risers' that would elevate the printer so that the handles would not be encumbered. There were plenty of risers for desktop computers or peripherals but none that would be suitable for such a heavy printer. I then considered a set of wooden blocks for the printer to reset on. Having used Day & Night the year before, I took the top level and handles over to Day & Night and consulted with Chris. I considered maybe getting him to create a 'butchers block' as a solution, but Chris advised creating a 'box' with internal pieces to reinforce the integrity of the shape. His measurements and mine matched, and 2 weeks later it was finished with a light varnish. Perfect match to the shelf and clearance for the cart handles. When the printer arrived I placed some plastic matting on top of the riser for the printer to rest on, to help absorb some other noise and vibrations from the printer. Everything is working very well!

I wanted it set in a basic white frame, shadowbox sort of setting. I wasn't sure exactly what it was that would be required, but when I explained to the lady who works there the look that I wanted, she knew precisely what I ment and made a few recommendations. We settled on a deep box frame, and white matting that also ran along the inside edge of the frame as well as around the print to create a really nice effect, similar to a shadow box. They were a bit pricey (over $500 all in), but well worth it for the work they did. The print was ready within 10 business days and they even delivered it to my office! Awesome advice, and service. I would recommend this place, in a heartbeat.
