Wow what a find! I purchased a burlap coffee sack in Colombia a few years ago. And I have gone to multiple framers in the city to get it mounted. No one could give me a direct answer on how they would do it that I was always left unsure of what the final product would look like.

Read moreThe frames I had made for my exhibition were amazingly done -- the craftsmanship, attention and service here is incredible.

After exhaustive research on the internet and reading countless of reviews on Yelp, we made the decision to work with Frames and Stretchers and it was the best decision.
We flew our piece from Miami to New York City. The piece is a gift to our daughter who was accepted into the masters program at NYU. We took the piece to Erick and he gave us a few options for stretching and framing.
Frames and Stretchers price was reasonable, the craftsmanship was excellent and the part we never expected but appreciated was the delivery to our daughter's...
