I have had the opportunity to work with Sandy and her team for years. They have taken my family photos and collected artwork, and created beautiful pieces for my home that also protect them for decades. Today I will be picking up a piece that Sandy has created from repurposed jewelry as I am in the area for the weekend!

I went out of my way to this store because of the great reviews. I was greeted by Sandy and another woman. I enthusiastically explained that I had come there because Sandy was praised in the reviews. Sandy then ignored me the rest of the time. The other woman who never told me her name “helped” me. She chose one mat, black. And 3 frames. I only got to see other colors/materials because I started rooting through the collection myself. I told her I wanted it more fun, more colorful. I got a quiet nod but no creativity, no artistry, no help. I hoped that if I expressed my dislike of her dark choices and rifled through the racks enough, Sandy-the-great might step in. But she didn’t. I was prepared to spend hundreds of dollars. Right as I was about to finalize an order I wasn’t happy with, I came to my senses and left. I’ve always had my framing done by Artists Frame Service in Lincoln Park and it’s always been fun and playful and creative. I can’t believe the internet almost convinced me to go to this place that is clearly not operated by artists or designers. Go here if you just need a frame but don’t go if you want the frame to be part of the story of your art. Your story will be miserable and that’s what you will think of when you look at your piece.

Super nice people - helped us painstakingly go through the plethora of options to pick out the best frame, did a quality job, and it was ready earlier than expected (less than a week). Will be a repeat customer!

I used to order frames online out of convenience, however, you cannot get the customer service you receive from Sandy anywhere else. Super helpful and knowledgeable.

I had great service at the Great Frame Up in Niles. My framing projects turned out beautiful. They were so helpful picking out the right frames for each piece of art. The selection of frames is outstanding! Very fast service. I will for sure return with more projects in the future.

It's nice to have an experienced person to consult with when selecting your frame. They have fun ideas decorating the walls of the shop, plus a first time discount if you go to their website.

This place is the only place I trust to frame our artwork. They are knowledgeable, pleasant to work with and the quality is outstanding, every time I bring something in to be framed. Highly recommend this business.
