The Frame Shop of Conshohocken

Thank you for your explanation & your experience there from the above. I also use them & know the costs are high BUT that’s due to the careful time & energy they put into each piece. I’ve had well over 10 items framed there & they would even point out things I didn’t think of (like my husbands signed Eric Clapton drawing) for insurance reasons.
They’ve educated me on how all the custom work I’ve had done I can put on my home insurance due to its value.
I agree with the lady above that it’s education of the items we bring in & I myself always learn something. I also am one that doesn’t go for the basic framing or matting, I like a unique piece of art around my art :-)
Thank you for your hard work ladies!

Picking out a frame for a gift I gave my wife was an awful experience. Trying to up-​sell is one thing, but I’ve never felt so railroaded in my life. I realize frames are expensive (I’ve spent hundreds of dollars at other frame stores several times before)… but I’ve never been treated so poorly. I asked a few simple questions about the matte and backing I should select, and while trying to choose a perfectly good (but cheaper) option, I was subjected to terribly condescending lectures about things like humidity and heat fluctuations… I was simply trying to buy some nice looking wood and a piece of glass, but instead I was made to feel like a cheapskate and I was talked to like an ignorant moron.
They should rename this awful place The Frame Snobs of Conshohocken. I’m NEVER going back.

I have had many photographs, paintings, antique primitive paintings on antique silk, and museum posters framed in 3 places in the Philadelphia area which I trust through my experience with them. Southwind Studio in Narberth under Francis Roux was the best there was. Fairmount Framing (N 25^th Street, Philadelphia) was fabulous and right around the corner from where I lived at the time. I loved it.
Today, for my money, The Frame Shop of Conshohocken is where I take anything that needs to be framed. I get straight answers and lessons in” art and framing it” history when there is a good reason why my first choice is not the best for what I’m framing. Carla is opinionated but she has a right to be.
I have never asked for expedited service because I know how much work belonging to other people is in process. So I plan accordingly. Three weeks is a reasonable amount of time, although my work is usually completed before three weeks
