If you want to have your framing done on time or at a good price you may not want to give it here. This is the second time that they have not delivered their work on time and charged me more than other shops in SF. I rarely leave bad reviews but I think I owe it to other potential customers. I supported this store because they are my neighbors but they are not that neighborly. :)

Beautiful expansive frame options + great customer service + nice to support a long-standing local business. I planned to get a print custom framed but the cost was outside my budget. As an alternative, they offered to build a custom frame for me and then I would be in charge of actually placing the print in the frame. The frame turned out beautiful and for an extremely reasonable price point.

Frames were okay but it was a really tough experience. They didnt have much stock so they told me 3 days for two frames. On the third day they called me and said the frames were done. When I showed up, the second one wasnt done. I called the next day and they said theyd check and call me back. They never called. On day 7 I eventually got the frames, but only after another phone call convinced them to finally build the second frame. They came across as disorganized and unprofessional. Not worth the hassle.

Really disappointed with the recent changes here. We did all of our framing here for years to high satisfaction. Our last piece was an absolute mess.We came in to have something framed to match a previous order, but they had lost track of it. We left the piece and called in with the exact measurements of the previously piece, which they failed to use resulting in the incorrect frame. They kindly agreed to fix it, only to lose track of the order for over a month; they only remembered it after we came in for the piece again, wasting another trip across the city.We picked up the frame today, and the matting and dimensions are incorrect again. We decided to cut our losses and took it home.This was such a wonderful store for so long. But after repeated failures, and getting a dozen stories about it from a half dozen employees, it just does not make sense to continue to patronize this business.

They did great job on my 12 photo frames - everybody complement their work. But this particular store even if its business ours many times nobody is in the store - I had to visit three times then had to contact Valencia store to help me out

Former employee bought out former owner and is committed to continuing the excellent service that I have experienced over decades past. Truly a wonderful place to explore and to create the right frame for your art.

I wanted to get a custom print framed quickly and on a budget, and Back to the Picture came through for me. I consulted with a very helpful member of their staff who helped me select a ready-to-by frame and cut a matte in a jiffy: I walked out with everything I needed less than half an hour after walking in, and got a discount on the matte because it was salvaged from their shop scrap. Sweet!

Great frames and very friendly/helpful staff. There was a nice selection of ready made frames and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for in the less common 12x18 size. After I had a print installed, the staff helped me add the wire mount on the back and package it up for shipping/travel.

Review №17

Staff was unprofessional. When I needed a piece cut down, they didnt even use a T-square to ensure 90 degree angle cuts. Measured with a tape measure instead of a ruler. One piece I brought in came with mattes but they insisted on using their own.Verbally, they told me a piece would be ready in three days. When I looked at the invoice (receipt for 50% of estimated cost) that was suddenly three weeks.I hear that Derek is good there; Ill contact him to talk about what happened, but Im not going back to this location ever again.At least the pre-made frames are decently priced, so that gets one additional star.

Really good framers. I like that they have a range of options and prices, but in general the framing is on the nicer / more expensive side. Good customer service as well.
