Art & Frame Warehouse

Note: I’m writing this review prior to picking up the finished projects. Hoping I don’t have to edit the review at that time, but just wanted to offer a huge shout-​out to Alex and Juliette for their off-​the-​chart friendliness and help last weekend.
We chose Art & Frame Warehouse simply for location. We live across the river in Atchison, and we were wanting to salvage as much weekend as possible without having to drive downtown or further. I’ll admit being a little leery of the strip mall location and the word «Warehouse.» Most frame shops I know are kitschy little boutiques in urban locations. Once inside, though, Juliette and Alex convinced us we’d come to the right place.
We had four pieces framed. .. an original oil painting we’d picked up on a New Year getaway in the Florida Keys. We had a signed print from another artist and another Florida vacation. And we had two original watercolors by an artist from Kansas City, now deceased, but whose daughter is still a good friend.
It was obvious from the outset that the staff at A&FW is deeply invested in customer satisfaction. We spent considerable time — at least an hour and a half — looking at options and having the all-​important conversations about the aesthetic and harmony between the work and its matting and framing. Each time we arrived at the «That’s it!» moment, we knew it. Alex and Juliette were simultaneously adept at leading us in the right direction, but making sure the final decision was ours. Yes, framing professionals are skilled psychologists to boot.
As framing goes, A&FW’s prices are about right. It’s a slap in the artist’s face to display their work in cheap frames.
In the end we left knowing we’d not only gotten our artwork framed, but we’d made new friends as well. Alex even carried a framed print we purchased from the gallery all the way to our car. In today’s retail world, when many people taking your money won’t even make eye contact, that level of customer service is truly rare.
As promised I’ll update this review after we pick up our paintings and prints in a couple weeks.

I continue to return to Art and Frame Warehouse… I have framed photos and art for myself as well as gifts and they always look amazing. The prices are very competitive and the quality exceeds my expectations. The staff is also very good at helping with matting and frame selection.

I am incredibly impressed with this Art & Frame Warehouse in Kansas City. I was in Kansas City for a wedding and had an extremely tight turnaround ask on my frame job. Not only was the service impeccable, but they did a phenomenal job on the custom order with a fast turnaround, to boot! Since I have friends and family in the area, I will consider taking future jobs up there when I am in town from Dallas because they are that good, fair priced and complete pros in every way. While I was there I also found out that they do specialty and memorabilia projects as well, so I’m bringing my diplomas up next time I’m in town. Thanks for a fantastic experience, I’ll definitely be using your services again soon!

The people are great. Knowledgeable and very competent. They first handled a long-​distance framing project that was ready as promised for pick up in KC. Based on the great work, we brought in three old but nostalgic posters for framing that had problems with folds and damage. They did an incredible job in framing to minimize the damage and blend it into the matting. Great advising and implementation at a reasonable price. Thanks.

Great place for framing and AMAZING customer service!!! I went in to get a piece of glass replaced for a picture and they went above and beyond by not only replacing the glass, but putting a paper backing and wire on the back. I will definitely be back there again!!!
