    Such an amazing job. It was quick, fairly priced, and done extremely professionally. Can't recommend this enough!!

    Right side of the frame. (Frame rotated upside-down so that the measurement could easily be read.)

    I came here to get two matching prints framed. I was so disappointed I paid $327 for these. When I arrived, there was metal hardware (for hanging) very visibly jutting out from the sides. One of the pieces stuck out so much, it looked like they tried to break some of it off leaving a sharp piece of metal still sticking out. I raised the concern and was told the frame was too skinny. I was so disappointed because I had been open to all of the woman's suggestions and she did not inform me. I wanted to pay the difference for the right frame, but it seemed the gentleman wanted to charge me for the entire order again because he said the old frame would have to be discarded. He refused to fix it unless I paid $150 more per frame. Meanwhile, another employee found other hardware. This would make the frame no longer sit flush, but I felt I had no choice but to compromise. When I got home, I had a sinking feeling that the mat was uneven. I pulled out my measuring tape and the mat is indeed uneven. Both pictures had more mat on the right side than on the left. Update: I will try to keep this as concise as possible. Paintbox reached out to me and offered to redo the frames. She was very understanding and truly went above and beyond, offering to pick up and deliver the frames as well as offering the larger frame free of charge. My experience with the gentleman was very different. I chose to go back to the store so there wouldn't be any miscommunication. The gentleman was condescending and insistent that it was impossible that the mat was uneven even though they were in front of him and he could see/measure it for himself. When I went to pick up the final frames, there was a hole/small tear on the back of one that wasn't there from the first job. He quipped back, "Of course that wasn't there before, I had to redo these." When I asked if it could be fixed, he said no one is going to see it anyway. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and that had been the theme from the start. He would give excuses and argue with you on why something couldn't be fixed, unable to accept responsibility for his actions. In the end, he fixed the hole. My interactions with him were undesirable. He was unprofessional and complained about other customers. Full disclosure, he also used the same style of frame and same hardware as the original job. In the end, I am satisfied with the end product, but the experience was not smooth.

    Vintage Hermes scarf framed by hashmet
    Michelle B.

    Hashmet is really awesome and I owe him a huge thank you for his customer service and amazing job framing my vintage Hermes scarf! I was obviously very nervous to get this framed as I have heard horror stories of framers ruining fine silk scarves if they do not know how to properly float them (requires sewing into the mat... Very complicated I had no idea)! After reading all the amazing yelp reviews I went in for a consultation. I was on a pretty tight budget for this and hashmet was so kind- i was going to chose a black frame because it was cheaper and he gave me the gold that I liked more for that same price!! It came out incredible and for an incredible price. Thank you!

    I had initially posted a review that didn't paint PaintBox NoLita very favorably based on two pieces of artwork that I had had framed at PaintBox. The owner immediately reached out and let me know that the work that was done didn't live up to his expectations. He offered to pick up the artwork, fix the problems with the frames and return them to me. That's exactly what he did. I'm very happy with the job he did and extremely pleased with the owner's response and customer service.

    Custom framing is a must, and at paintbox they do the most amazing job. They will frame on the spot and only top quality service. Definitely a place to come and they're beating everyone's prices! Thank you guys so much!

    I would highly recommend PaintBox Nolita! This is a really wonderful place with amazing service and I am really impressed by the quality of the framing. Freddie framed a picture for me a couple of years ago and I was so happy that I keep coming back to this place with new artwork to frame. Thank you!

    I couldn't be happier. Great customer service and the 30" x 40" artwork was handled with the greatest of care. Fairly priced. Really impressed. Highly recommend for any work of art.

    Receipt for a chipped frame - in 2 spots!
    Happy C.

    Ordered a $350 Italian custom frame. I picked it up all properly packed in a bubble wrap. When I unwrapped it at my place, it was chipped in 2 places. I called the store. They declined to pick it up and redo it or to send me a new frame and requested I bring it back / pick up In person

    Finished product! Would have never picked out this fabulous frame without Freddie's help

    I called ahead and clearly explained the service I needed: I already had my diploma and the…read moreofficial frame from my university and simply needed the diploma placed neatly into the frame -- straight, clean, and free of dust, hairs, or kinks. The woman on the phone quoted me $30. About 10 minutes later I arrived at the store with the frame and diploma. The young man at the counter was very polite. I explained the same thing again and after thinking for a few seconds he told me the price would be $50. I explained that I had literally just been quoted $30 on the phone. He was understanding and went to get the woman I had spoken with. When she came out, the explanations for the price change kept shifting. First she said the diploma was "bigger than standard." Then she said they had to "figure out how to take the frame apart." Then she said it would take more time because of the size. None of this made sense because I had already described exactly what I needed done when I called. Nothing about the job had changed between the phone call and walking into the store. I even offered to meet in the middle and pay $40 just to resolve it quickly. She refused and insisted on $50. At that point it felt like a classic bait-and-switch: quote one price over the phone, then raise it once the customer is standing there with a large frame and has already made the trip. I declined and walked out. I then walked up the block to another framing store, explained the exact same situation, and they charged $30 -- the exact price I had originally been quoted here. The whole thing was done neatly in about 15 minutes. The young man at the counter here seemed kind, but the way the pricing changed after I arrived felt extremely unprofessional. There are other framing shops nearby that will give you a price and actually stand by it.

    Excellent work and good prices. Very professional friendly courteous and knowledgeableread more
