Used to go to art school, shopped for easel for daughter. Very helpful staff, bought display model b/c out of stock but didn't have to assemble. Joined rewards program to get large discount.

Friendly staff and were super easy to talk to. They were knowledgeable and did a great job. It wasn't hard to find someone to help and even though I came in right before closing they still were positive and nice and pointed me in the right direction. I would highly recommend them for your art needs.

The guy does the framing is a robot who have no sense of art or basics about artworks. He overwrites the dimensions set in the store (the one you agreed upon when you place the order and they charge you for it) to do it the way he thinks its right, doesn’t matter if subjects in the artwork will be hidden or changed. You are not talking to the one who actually does the work at the store and there is obvious miscommunication among them.
To their credit, the store provided full refund. At least they care about customers' satisfaction.
