Frame Central

Super nice ladies in the store. Immediately greeted me, but then let me roam around to look at everything. Once I asked my question, knew exactly how to help me. I brought in a print on canvas to put hardware on to hang it. I asked if I could watcher her do it so I could try to figure it out myself on my next one, but she also talked me through the process. Really nice people and didn’t seem at all bothered that I didn’t know what I was talking about or was a bit awkward! I’ll definitely be back.
Prices were also super reasonable and they showcase local artists!

Outstanding in every way. They have new people that make the customer experience even better than it ever was before — not to mention the creative talent! Natalie is fantastic!

Had some images to be framed and they did an excellent job. The service was excellent and delivered earlier than quoted. I will use their services again in the future.

I’ve used the local Frame Central on Cornell for years with special framing projects. They have a strong attention to detail & dedication to get things done in a manner that will ensure the object will look great for many years.
I have a signed jersey & some other sports memorabilia on my office wall that always get compliments, & all were done here.
Most recently I had a set of season tickets for my favorite sports team (go Timbers!) that I hoped to get stuck onto foam core, signed by the players, & then nicely matted & framed. I knew this was right up their alley.
When I discussed the project with the Store Manager, Kara, she informed me that I might be disappointed with the results of doing this the normal way, as she’d read that tickets could be damaged in the heat used in the process. She said she’d research what other options might produce better results, & get back to me.
A few days later I got a message that she’d found and ordered a different type of foam core that didn’t need heat & should work great. Long story short we went that route & I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Once I get the signatures I’ll be back to finish the job. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a project that’s important to me.

These guys rock! Creative gals eager to please was how I was greeted! They have a nice selection of custom frames and their prices are better than or close to Michael’s where I have been going for years. Their staff really tried to help me fix an old frame before I said never mind I want a new one. They were not pushy just helpful and I love that!
This will be my new go to place for custom frames, but I am running out of wall space so I don’t know how often I would use them at this point. Check em’ out next time you need a kick ass frame!

I have been using Frame Central for years and specifically this one. I’ve had many personal items done here not to mention awards for my employer.
I just recently started working with Kara (Frame Diva) the new manager. She is AWSOME and has such vision and mad skills.
I would highly recommend you give this place a shot. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Went to frame a certificate for my wife’s office. Natalie was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. As a manager of a store myself, I’m very impressed with her customer service skills. My wife and I are very happy with the frame that we’ve ordered as well!

A-​fricking-​mazing!
I stumbled in here after I realized I was in over my head with this frame job. A lady at Michaels recommended them because they have well priced options. You can either do the whole framing yourself, have them do the whole thing, or any combination in between. I had multiple pictures and an engraving to frame to commemorate my hisband’s 20+ years in the movie industry. This was a very special and heartfelt gift for his 40^th. The lady, Natalie, who helped me was just incredible. I had everything sketched out with colors inputted got the matting and frame. After looking it over her face brightened and she grabbed a beautiful silver frame and black and silver matting. Not what I had initially wanted but I trusted her judgment. I’m SO GLAD I trusted her judgement!!! The matting and frame looked beautiful… I was absolutely blown away. When I showed my husband he was speechless and a bit choked up. Everyone that comes in to our house now stops to admire her work. So I owe Natalie a huge thank you and highly recommend anyone work with her. An artist and a true professional!
Price wise it was on point also. Anywhere you go where you will have multiple mats, a frame, and hand cut work will be more expensive than buying something off the shell. But it’s so worth it! I paid less here than past custom framing jobs so all in all… incredibly happy.

I really enjoy coming to this frame shop. The service is awesome and the framer Sean does a great job. I felt like he really cared about making my art look amazing, and he had great suggestions when I couldn’t make up my mind. This frame shop has a really professional atmosphere, I highly recommend!

They have a decent selection of frames. I am giving them 3 stars because the level of service could be better. I prefer the yeon ave location for that reason. With that said, everything I have had framed here has turned out will.

I walked in and the two men working didn’t say one word to me. A few minutes later one says the other will help me… He didn’t come to help and had to be asked twice. It was an inconvenience to help me.

F*ck all expensive and the older guy who works there is cranky, but really nice frames. I will probably explore other options the next time I need a custom frame.

My family has been using them for our framing for the last couple of years and they always do an excellent job. Never had a problem, things are always done when promised and look great.

Paid for a mat to be cut and a print mounted on it. Had to wait a week then when the item picked up found the mat to have finger prints on it and no print. Had to return again.

14 years ago, on what amounted to a «first date», Mrs. Brian I. had to bum some money from me. Specifically, she needed money to take the ferry back over to Bainbridge Island from downtown Seattle, where I lived. I gave her a twenty, we shared our first kiss and parted ways. About a week later I got an envelope in the mail. It contained a check in the amount of 20 dollars.
I never cashed it. I never even endorsed it.
Honestly, I thought it would be cool, at the time, to keep it as a memento of her, because she lived in Portland at the time. Little did I realize that the check’s significance in our lives as that memento would increase substantially as the years passed.
So, the check has survived in various places (incredibly intact) from 1997 until now. It was in my wallet for years, until I came to the realization that it should probably be better protected. For the past 3 or so years, I’ve kept it in a plastic folder in my day planner.
Last year, on May 1^st, 2010, we finally got married. Recently, one of our close friends suggested that I frame the check and present it to my wife on our first wedding anniversary (4 days from this writing).
Enter… Frame Central! A quick search on Unilocal (duh, where else would I start?!) yielded a frame shop conveniently located for me. I had the opportunity to swing by around lunchtime today. I was instantly greeted by an employee who stopped what he was doing to help me. I was grateful, for more than a few reasons. Not the least of which was the sheer volume of available frames in the store. Seriously, everything from the smallest frame you could imagine (including my check) to shadow boxes for sporting memorabilia… they’ve got it.
Anyway, he took plenty of time to show me a few options, including varying sizes of frames (I settled on a thick, black 8×10 frame) and matting options. Once I’d picked the matting, he measured the check carefully and whisked the matting off. Approximately 30 seconds later he returned to the desk with a perfectly formed mat board. Toss in an 8×10 easel and the grand total came to $ 22 and change. Entirely reasonable.
All told the whole visit took maybe 15 minutes, and that’s stretching it. Granted, my needs for picture frames and mat boards are few and far in between, but at least I know where I’ll be going for those needs. Now, and in the future.
To bring it full circle… Happy Anniversary, Ashley! Hopefully you don’t read this between now and Sunday, because I’m trying to keep it a surprise.
