Frame This

Frame This is a studio-​quality shop we’ve used several times to build photograph frames for images to be shown in art shows and galleries. The owner, Lloyd Benjamin, is meticulous in his attention to detail and won’t let a frame go out with any kind of perceptible defect. At least he hasn’t with us. The corner joints are tight and precise, the paint or finish is about perfect and the hardware installation (hanging wire, etc.) is sturdy.
I own a full woodworking shop myself and it says something about Lloyd’s work (and mine, I guess) that my wife won’t let me build frames for her. I don’t have the expertise to do it anywhere near as well as what we can get here. Artists are picky.
You can get non-​glare glass, which is really great for show pieces.
They also will restore damaged frames. We have a friend whose work was damaged by a local gallery and she took it to Frame This for restoration and was quite happy with the result.
Show quality frames are not cheap but Frame This apparently is quite reasonable in their prices as compared to other high-​end shops in town. Several of my wife’s colleagues come here for frames and none of them are what you’d call wealthy. So the value is pretty high.
Located in The Metropolitan business and arts district, a large warehouse-​y looking complex on the west side of Metropolitan Pkwy just south of Ralph Abernathy Blvd. Suite 6024 is in the northernmost building.
Highly recommended.
