Andy's Frame Setting, LLC — Attraction in Westerville

Last June (2017) my daughter and I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend five nights attending a certain concert tour here in Columbus. Since it is her favorite band, and I enjoy them as well, it made it even more special. The very first show I noticed a souvenir that said "Limited Edition - Total of 54" and I new that each show would have these. Right then I knew that I wanted to get a souvenir from each show and make something special for her for Christmas. In October I went in to Andy's shop and met with him, taking in a simple drawing and an idea of having the whole thing matted and framed. Andy spent a good 1/2 hour with me and the drawing going over my idea, asking me questions, and making suggestions. I wanted to add the concert tickets from each show, and photos from each show to this project along with a small poster. Andy's first question was "what do you want to accomplish with this project?" I told him that attending all 5 shows was a once in a lifetime experience, and I wanted this project to be a one of a kind "once in a lifetime" gift. With that answer, he replied "Then this needs to be a shadow box, and not a matted piece". THAT is where the 1/2 hour came into effect. He explained what his idea was, brought out examples, pulled out frame colors and styles, and laid out one of my souvenirs along with a photo and the poster so I could visually see what it was going to look like. He took the time to measure each piece, so I could easily figure out the size pictures I needed to print for my project. Christmas came and went and I was not able to obtain the Night 4 souvenir. Fast forward to February of this year (2018) and I got my hands on the missing piece. My daughters birthday was coming up the beginning of March so I immediately went into Andy's shop. Low and behold he remembered me and the project. He didn't have my information in the computer so this was most impressive. We met for another 1/2 hr going over the project again. I let him know that the original picture sizes we spoke of would not print properly and gave him what I had. He said "no problem, I can make this work". While he had everything, I decided to change one of the pictures (lower right corner of the drawing) and I brought him two photos to ask his opinion. After not being able to decide, I just said "you decide and surprise me". Fast forward again to my daughters birthday, and I went to pick this up. It is a HUGE piece. Roughly 4x4 and he used "both" pictures that I couldn't decide on. I left it wrapped in the brown paper that it came in from the frame shop. I had her close her eyes and stood it up in front of her. When she opened it, it literally took her breath away. She couldn't speak, and the tears rolled down her face. "THAT" is what Andy did for me. Are there box stores out there that can do custom framing at a lower price? Probably. The better question is, can those people look at what you have, build something based on your ideas, and make a truly "one of a kind" piece? Probably not. If you wan't your piece done right, and you want personal service then I can not recommend Andy's Frame Setting any more than to say "This is where you NEED to go". THANK YOU ANDY!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You turned my idea into a reality and made a gift that will last my...

When it comes to framing a one-of-a-kind piece of art, I will not consider any other option than going to Andy's Frame Setting. After reading Google Reviews done by other customers, I felt that it was a safe bet to give them a try - I brought along 3 pieces of comic book art, figured worst case scenario I would give it a try on just one piece and compare it to other pieces I had done elsewhere.

After spending 15-20 minutes with Karen in the shop, I had high degree of confidence I had found an excellent choice and let her go ahead and do all 3 pieces - I couldn't have been happier with the results. I have since gone back to get more work done with the same outcome of high satisfaction.

I have since passed on the recommendation to some friends that have mentioned they are looking to get some art or sports jerseys framed.

Pros: Expertise and high quality craftsmanship Karen takes time to listen to customers, ensuring she can give the best recommendations Items being framed are well taken care of onsite, not shipped away for others to work on Large selection of options Great turnaround time to receive finished product back

Prices are competitive to other options/vendors. While there are likely cheaper options out there, if your item is important enough to have it preserved why not pay for the best.

They have made me a repeat customer and certainly earned my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a custom...

I have been giving Andy all my business for more than 15 years. Just today I happily spent $860 on two frame jobs. I say happily because he did a superb job, worth every penny. I didn't know what I wanted on a large oil painting and he helped me come up with a perfect frame for it. I needed a small portrait reframed and he discovered while working on it the previous framer had glued the portrait to the matt. He was nonetheless able to come up with a workaround, which actually looks a little better than what we'd originally planned.

My wife also has all her framing done by Andy. Frankly, there isn't anyone else in the area I can think of that to whom I would want to give my frame work.

EDIT (7-18-25): Recently, I had AFS put together a mixed media collage for me, including a football jersey and some photographs. It was a complicated arrangement. I had a general idea of what I wanted, but AFS spent substantial time with me creating the perfect layout. I cannot recall exactly what I paid for it; it was not cheap, but not overly expensive either. You get what you pay for, and I am 110 percent satisfied.

I have another mixed media collage I want done soon, and I will definitely...
