Aaron Brothers

I was working on a project for my boss and needed to get some frames for some awards we were giving out to the marketing team. We didn’t have much time and I couldn’t find anything on even Amazon for the price and delivery date I needed. So, I called Aaron Brother’s after some asking around the office, and Patty picked up.
She notified me that she only had about half the number of frames I needed in stock but would call ahead to other stores in the area and get back to me.
She called me back within a few minutes and told me she found the quantity of frames I needed, would have someone pick them up for me, and call me back the next day when they were all in at her store location.
And that is exactly what happened. I didn’t go through the hassle of having to track these down on my own, drive store to store, expend time and energy, have a mental breakdown, etc…
I have never been to an Aaron Brothers before this but I will highly recommend it from now on. I was simply so amazed that they did this for me since these days, it usually takes an arm and a leg for some help.
Thank you Patty!

I use Aaron brothers for a wide variety of things-​frames of course– the penny sale can’t be beat. And they have great craft kits for kids. I’ve used them a lot for holiday gifts. Paints can be a bit pricey but they do have sales pretty frequently. I like all the misc. trinkets they have-​great for stocking stuffers that are a bit more unique.

Nice, but so expensive.
Bought a painting from
for framing. Options ranged from $ 250 to $ 1000+.
Thinking about it, I could have re-​ordered the painting and had
frame/​mat it for ~$ 500 less.

Wide selection of frames and art stuff. They also do custom framing.
I love their wide selection of brushes, but the paints selection can be improved. There’s not a lot of staff in the store so you have to wait a little to get some help.
Their frames are at a reasonable price, and their sales are awesome. Definitely check out this place for your framing needs, or if you’re just looking for somewhere to kill time.

Heads up that the 50% one single item excludes their everyday deal frames! But their semi-​annual penny sale doesn’t :)
No complaints, generally the staff is happy and friendly, things are fairly priced if you wait for sales/​deals, which happen often.

I got a great deal on 3 custom-​framed diplomas. They were running a 50% off discount on the collection I used and then they gave me a bulk discount on top. The employees were very helpful about different matting options (of which I was entirely ignorant) and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Well, except that one of the frames had a deep gash in it when I picked it up, but they took it back and fixed it asap — so, still happy!
TIP — if you have a foil seal on your diploma, there is a chance it will melt if you need them to dry-​mount. My college diploma had been sitting around for a few years and had accumulated a few wrinkles and creases. They couldn’t flatten it out, but were VERY reluctant to dry-​mount because it is permanent. I insisted that I wanted it to look perfect and the whole point of framing is so that it IS permanent. I mean, I didn’t have plans to take it out and play with it at the park, you know? Anyway, it wasn’t until I got it back and it turned out perfectly that I learned there was a danger of the thing MELTING due to the heat involved in the dry-​mount process. So I got lucky, but you might not be willing to take the risk depending on how replaceable your item is.

Just bought a frame for an art piece I recently finished. This specific store did an awesome job accomadating my needs, and the new manager was extremely helpful. I recommend anyone needing custom framing or art supplies to look into this store.

They charged me $ 80 just to mat 3 small pictures — without putting it in the frames — and it would have been well over $ 100 if they did! What a rip off! If they tried putting them in the frames they would have realized that one didn’t fit! Won’t go there again!

Very disappointed. We placed and paid for a special order for the frame that they did not have in stock. Now two month later we are still waiting for something.
They never called to update us on delays and didn’t care the money have been paid for the product they never delivered.
Stay away from this business.

I am HIGHLY disappointed in this place.
I needed a bike jersey framed for my boss and decided on the Cupertino location because the reviews were better than the one down the street from my work. Upon walking in, the associates were very friendly.
I asked for suggestion what they thought was best to match the jersey. Price was not a factor in getting it framed. The total cost was over 1200 dollars. (luckily, I had a 60% off coupon). After deciding on how to get the jersey framed, (the color choices of mats, etc), they gave me a date that it would be ready. March 2^nd, they said, I asked if it could be finished any earlier, so they looked at the calendar and told me February 29^th would be the earliest, so I said okay great. February 29^th right? I even confirmed it!
I was pretty excited because, they were so professional and so helpful. I thought, good thing I chose this location. They even helped out a lady that broke the glass on her frame, they agreed to replace it for her.
Boy was I wrong. Fast forward, come March 1^st. I drove from work to go pick up my frame (pretty excited actually to see the final product) I walked in, at first they couldn’t find the order, then they told me it wasn’t done. WHAT?! If you told me it would be done on the 29^th, the LEAST you could have done is call me and let me know that its not done. I was peeved. The girl told me that it would be done the next day.
Guess what? its «the next day» I called and asked if it was done to save me the trip, «oh its done, but let me double check’ I wait 10 minutes on the phone. «oh he said he’s going to TRY and get it done today, can you call back at 5 just to see if it’s done?»
IRRITATED with this whole experience, 1 star for their service, but gave them an extra star for their selection of frames, not much, but they had some good ones. I will update my review once the framing gets done… if it EVER gets done.

A large frame I had hanging on my wall came crashing down last week, so I went to Aaron Brothers to get it fixed.
The employee told me that it’d honestly be cheaper to buy a new one, given they have a 50% off coupon online. No need to print, just pull it up on your smart phone.
Cost of fixing old frame = $ 25, with no promises that it would be returned to its original state. Cost of new frame = $ 20.
The gentleman walked me through all my options and graciously picked out a frame that he thought would match the other two hanging on my wall (I brought in pictures), PLUS he installed the frame hanger free of charge and nicely packaged the glass piece which I opted not to use for now.

Great store, small but I like the stuff that they carry. If you can’t find it at Michael’s and a bigger store isn’t around, try them.
Their website has coupons on it that can be printed out.
I like higher-​end art supplies and they seem to have them so stop there from time to time when I need something fast.
Employees are really helpful. Nice, inviting store.

This store is a bit smaller than most of the other Aaron Brothers stores I’ve been to, but the woman who helped me today (tall blonde in black pants and lace top) was really helpful and friendly. I asked her about how to install the sawtooth picture hangers on the back of the frame I purchased and she showed me exactly how to do it.

Back in my old stomping grounds before the burger bash I went and took a looksy in search for (DUH) frames for my cupcake painting and some other smaller piece of art. yes I have a cupcake painting in my office… The women working here yesterday were total gems and super friendly. I got exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price :-).

So I walked in and they were nice. Too nice… just kidding!
The lady was really nice. She greeted me as soon as I walked in and asked if I needed help. I appreciate the fact that she didn’t feel the need to follow me around to make sure I didn’t steal things. Thanks for the trust :)
They had a great deal on canvases and frames: buy one, get one for a penny. Although this brings the price down to the same as sale prices for canvas at University Art and sale prices for frames at Micheal’s, it’s nice to know I have another choice and more options on sizes, quality, ect.
They had a good amount of art supplies, but I didn’t spend too much time in there. The prices looked reasonable, or at least for sure not more expensive than University Art.
This place is great! Why did I just barely find out about it?! :Z

So impressed with the quality of customer service at this location. Justine and Erick made my day. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I will be loyal to this Aaron Brothers location.
I’ve also written a review of another Aaron Brothers (725 Sunnyvale Saratoga Road, Sunnyvale, CA) where the customer service was so horrible that it ruined my whole day. If you need to decide between the two locations I would suggest you go to the one on Stevens Creek.

Fantastic customer service.
Bought a huge mirror here that was $ 250 regularly, clearance priced at only $ 99. The customer service folks were super nice and helpful. However they didn’t wrap the frame with anything on the way out so bring a blanket or something to make sure the frame stays nice.
Would recommend highly.

Great place to buy picture frames and art supplies. They have a massive selection of frames and pre-​cut mattes for the average user.
Be sure to go online for their coupons. They ususally have a 40% or 50% off one regular priced item coupon here:

Love their products and the staff is always friendly and helpful!

Been to this store countless times, but my last visit was the most memorable. Mostly because I dropped a ridiculous amount of coin on a lot of champagne and gilt frames hoping to do a family wall collage that rivaled Jenny Garth’s as seen in the March issue of InStyle Magazine… but also because the place was pretty much empty at 6pm on a weekday and the staff was so incredibly helpful even though they were busy with framing projects in the back area.
A ton of inventory, I can always find something that I want to take home with me here. I went in particularly because they were having a 50% off sale and they had the cutest light blue driftwood rustic style from in the window with the 50% sticker that was MEANT to be mine.
But a ton of the frames I came home with were also 50% off which was fab. So I made out like a bandit. Too bad that the wall collage thing isn’t working out, I understimated the amount of frames I needed to really do the wall collage where I wanted to, the wall is much taller than I remembered in the store & it would be too cost prohibitive to do it the way I want to… so I’m going to return most of the frames to AB. And having returned items in the past, typically the process is painless with receipt, so hopefully it will be the same this time.
Thanks AB for having what I thought I needed and way more, I will SO be back next time I see something in the window that wants to come home with me.
