This place was most unaccommodating and the sales clerk was rude. The whole place looked disorganized and a mess. The clerk was chatting with friends, talking about staffing woes and how fixing a matte was not big enough a job and he didn't want to do it in case he made a mistake...I never heard the like of it from a framing business before.

Go elsewhere for your...

He will hustle you for every dime he can. When he tells you how much it will cost, cut that number in half. Don't let this guy take advantage of you. Also, NEVER give him your credit card for the deposit or payment. ALWAYS use cash. All that being said if you go in to the store and your not a pushover he will...
