This is the only place I ever go to, for framing my favorite artwork. Mollah always has great ideas of what can be done, that I've never thought of before. And the job they do is immaculate. read more

I've been here once before the pandemic, got a 27x40 movie poster framed (turned out great). Recently purchased a smaller, but weird sized poster (20x60) and was worried they might be closed due to the pandemic. They're still open, and still do amazing work. They flattened out the folds best as they could and gave me a fair price (and their professional opinions). I love my pieces and their kind service. Highly recommend! read more

I have had a number of items framed and created here. Mollah does INCREBIBLE work. I could not recomment more :)!

This is the best place in the area to get a frame. Timely, good pricing, super friendly, and great work!

Nice man offers museum quality glass, looks great, will last many generations! Regular sized printing paper framed with museum quality glass for $245. Thank you Paint Box. read more

Our go to framing store. They are so professional and have so many great options for whatever you are framing. They will work with you on every little detail from border to glass type for glares. Very quick turn around time (7 to 10 days). The quality speaks for itself and makes the price worth it. Definitely a pretty penny. read more

We needed a very large painting framed and decided to check in here. The owner was extremely friendly and fair in his pricing. He let our daughter draw a picture while he wrote up the bill. The work was done in a couple days and now we have a lovely piece for our living room. We will be going back for our future framing needs. read more

The Paintbox in the West Village was the friendliest and most knowledgeable framing shop that I came across in the city. The staff was able to provide me with exactly what I needed at a reasonable price. I believe the worker was named Mollah. He was very accomodating and I will return to this location for any future frames. read more

I love this picture framing west village shop. They take extreme care in framing any valued item and do the work meticulously - the manager is lovely and incredibly fair on price. The work is always curated and framed with right colors and boarders. There is never an up sale. The manager listens to what you want and delivers best recommendation and turns it always around within 1 week. Can't recommend better place to do any and all your framing read more

Awesome neighborhood establishment. The vibe is--you go in there with your piece to be framed and they basically tell you what you should do with it. They'll take input but are otherwise totally capable of coming up with a solid plan. Prices are reasonable and they work quickly. We've now framed 6 items with them and will keep taking things there. read more

Loved getting 2 very important art pieces framed at this local business. Was nervous to find somewhere to frame these, but the manager at PaintBox was so patient, helpful, and easy to work with. We framed our marriage license and it looks absolutely stunning, as well as a big silk scarf that is a constant conversation piece when people come over. We are so pleased with how they both turned out, and love even more that we supported a local business. 11/10, would recommend going here!!! read more

This is an old fashioned, owner operated , thoughtful framing store. We've gotten good help in choosing the appropriate frames for various pieces we've brought there. It's not an inexpensive place , but the workmanship is excellent, and the owner is a pleasant man. They also sell prints and photographs. It's one of the last small framing shops left in the West Village. I hope it remains there. read more

I am FURIOUS. The day before Xmas I get back a framed diploma I was giving as a gift and the work is SO BAD, so horrendous and so awful there is NO way I can give this as a gift. Shoddy would be a compliment. The frame is CRACKED! It's CHIPPED! How could they POSSIBLY be okay with passing this off???!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIP OFF FRAME SHOP! What a disaster. I will be demanding my money back. read more

PaintBox West Village - White custom frame - Framing Near Me - Manhattan, New York

I had an amazing experience at PaintBox West Village. Moolah, the main worker there, helped me customize a print and a frame for a present that I was getting for my boyfriend's birthday and also sold me one of the Ed Heck pieces that they have for sale there. He was extremely easy to work with and I would definitely come back here. The piece came out even better than I imagined and one-of-a-kind, and I would recommend this place to anyone I knew! Will definitely return. read more

I'm very pleased with the Paintbox! I brought in three items to have framed. One was a large silk scarf and two are smaller illustrations. They did a great job with the silk scarf and of course the illustrations. They were completed correctly in the estimated wait time. I will be going back in the future for all my custom framing needs. read more

Had two pieces recently framed here. They did an excellent job and finished the work ahead of schedule. We discussed various framing options and both gentlemen were very helpful with suggestions and tips based on their years of experience. We used the frame parts they had in store to test the different options and allowed me time to reach out to friends to get their opinion as well. It was a very pleasant experience and I'm a very happy customer. I will be sure to bring any future framing needs back to this store. read more

I would avoid this store at all costs. I had the most apalling experience at PaintBox West Village having been recommended to use this framers for 3 pieces of artwork. The owner of the store was very happy to charge me the full price of $1600 when I handed over my art after selecting the frames. I was told it would take 7 days and while it seemed odd not to take a deposit, I obliged. He told me he would call when the art was ready. 14 days later I had not received a call. I went back to the store and luckily the pieces were ready. I reviewed 2 of the 3 in the store and took them home. When I unpacked the third item, it was clear that the mount was scratched with almost a glue like substance leaving marks around the painting. I subsequently returned them to the store, very understanding that these things happen. The owner assured me he would have it fixed 4 days later and would call me. As before, there was never a call and so I returned once again to the store where I was told that actually my art was yet to be fixed and he would need another 5 days. At this point, the owner has little remorse and seems to laugh at the situation as if my small order was the least of their priorities. I explained that while I appreciate there are delays, I was more shocked by his lack of understanding that there is clearly an imposition to me as a customer. He proceeded to take his license of the wall, slam it on the table in front of me and show me the text that says 'NO REFUNDS NO EXCHANGES.' I was appalled at his level of rudeness at which point I demanded my items immediately and I would reframe elsewhere. He actually grabbed me by the wrist as I tried to pick up the artwork and leave the store. It was quite a shocking experience. Overall, I've learnt my lesson. Never pay the full amount up front when you are leaving valuable art in someone else's possession, especially if they have yet to provide the service. $1600 may not be a lot of money to him as the store owner, but he treated me appallingly, making my purchase seem unimportant and irrelevant for his business. I left with my damaged artwork, having spent $1600 with no offer of even partial compensation for the trouble he had caused me. I will never return to this location and explained to him in person that I would be writing this up on Yelp. A truly awful experience. read more

I have framed many photos and pieces of art here and will always recommend it. Mollah's work is great, I love working with him.

I am an art world professional and purchased a very nice original lithograph from a reputable auction house. I came here because this shop was top rated with my brand new, straight from the auction and still in the bubble wrap work of art worth thousands. I very carefully unwrapped the work and reviewed the piece with the woman at the counter and confirmed that there was no damage before leaving the work with them for the week to be framed in a too-expensive gilt wood and museum glass frame. Upon picking up my artwork, there was a very apparent tack hole near the face of one of the figures near the center right of the large sheet. When I pointed this out, I was told this was how they received it and they took no responsibility for the damage they incurred. I was furious for the damage to the one-of-a-kind piece that they very clearly caused while in their care, and only asked for a refund of the frame, there own guarantee. The woman cussed me out, clearly evident of the guilt of her fault. So I had gone home with my piece and called back speaking to a man now I presume was the co-owner, who immediately took his associates side despite never seeing the piece or damage in person. I have conclusive images of the before drop off and after, clearly showing the damage that was caused by their sloppy mishandling and yet somehow I'm the one wrong in the situation. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. They do not deserve their high rating when every drop-off is a gamble of your artworks safety/destruction. What's the point if a guarantee if they do t even honor it? OR necessitate the need for it... Extremely rude people, extremely rude service. And I'm left with a costly damaged piece of art and lousy overpriced frame. read more

We have framed everything from sketches to art we've bought to damaged, old family photos, and we are never disappointed. Mollah is thorough, meticulous, and has filled our walls over the years. I couldn't recommend PaintBox enough. read more

Easy, quick custom framing in the village. Kind manager who was very accommodating. Would definitely frame again here

PaintBox is our neighborhood go to framer! Owner Mollah goes above and beyond to make each and every piece we bring him framed to perfection. Mollah is always friendly and happy to meet our framing deadlines (and always with reasonable pricing). If you are in need of framing, make PaintBox framer your West Village gem! read more

Love this place! Have been several times and never been disappointed. Hashmat was able to turn our paintings around earlier than expected when we were leaving to go out of town. Would definitely recommend! read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, who provide helpful suggestions, when needed. They offer a wide variety of custom frames and complete jobs in a professional and timely manner. This is not the place to go if looking for a "cheap fix" but is highly recommended when a first class job is required and appreciated. read more

Mulla was super swift and super helpful. Replaced the glass on my frame while I waited very efficiently. I was lucky. Will go back and tell all my arty friends. read more

Exceptional service! I requested a quick turnaround time on a few pieces, and my expectations were exceeded. Customer service was topnotch. I will most definitely use and recommend Paintbox West Village to my friends and family. Five stars all around! read more

I'm so happy I used a local shop rather than an online service like Framebridge! The sweetest employees and they did a beautiful job.

I am so happy I found PaintBox. I had to buy a frame for my boss and had no luck on Amazon and other sites. This location is walking distance from my job and had a quick turn around service, which is what I needed. It took less than a day to get his photo framed. He is happy with the results and I couldn't be happier for the amazing service, great price, and location. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great results and speedy services. read more

I have been using them for years. They have always​ done great work in a speedy time frame. The employees have been helpful and kind.

I picked up 3 frames today from them. They did an amazing job with all 3. Price is reasonable with a friendly environment. I would have given a full 5 star but the only criticism I have is that I could do with an extra help with carrying all three frames outside as I was carrying a big frame whilst trying to hail a taxi. I understand if they are attending a customer but since no one was there, I wouldn't think it would cause a great hassle to them. But I come from Asia where service is 5 star and I come to learn that we can't expect such service in NY. Regardless, I will definitely go back with more paintings and frames! Highly recommended. read more

Cool little framing shop that also sells art. Some of the art is unique and seems like they get limited additions. I fell in love with a few horse pictures but they were a bit out of my range. read more

Note: I wrote a detailed description of my experience 2 months ago and was SHOCKED to see that despite yelp's disclaimer that 'no review can be altered or removed by the store', my negative review was hidden in their "hidden" section at the bottom of the page and was not reflected in this terrible store's clearly false 5 star review (the same rating I used to base my trust in them to handle my very rare and expensive J.J. Audubon lithograph painting which they damaged) **************** After carefully reviewing the condition of my very rare and expensive work of art in person, noting the immaculate condition (having brought directly to them from the auction house in thick bubble wrap and hard cardboard portfolio) this place's careless employees punctured my piece with a hole right through the middle (through the mylar plastic I had the piece wrapped in as well for extra precaution). Despite this very obvious damage on their part, the owner avoided my calls for two weeks leaving me to talk to his very rude employees. Further, as expected, he denied all responsibility for the damage claiming it to be my fault despite my detailed exam with his employee who likely caused the damage herself and denied all responsibility. The owner offered no proper compensation whatsoever (not even a partial refund), offering only after a long debate to refund my money if I returned the ($250) frame completely, leaving me still at a great loss with my damaged work of art. Extremely rude people. Extremely terrible service. Avoid this place and go somewhere else. read more
