I got a poster for my birthday. I didnt want to tape it up so I started researching frame stores in my area. All that came up was about 10 Aaron Bros, 3 Michaels and 20 Frame Stores. First off, I hate corporate. There is not enough personal attention. So after further research I came across the Sherman Gallery and I went to their website and printed off their frame special coupon, only 19.99. They were a bit far from me but I figured it could be worth it. So 20 min later I was there. Instantly I was helped by Diane, She was gorgeous, she took my breath away and made it hard to focus on the framing. But she knew what she was doing. I ended up spending a little more than $20 but my picture is amazing now, she picked out the PERFECT frame! After I picked it up, I took it to Aaron Bros. for a quote and they quoted over double what I paid at Sherman Gallery! The best part of all, Diane was telling me that the owner opened the business in 1985 and to this day, it is still run by him and his 4 daughters.
Pros: fast affordable and I got exactly what I wanted
Cons: Very hip place with good music, made it a little hard to focus also too many frame choices.
