Ruined an expensive piece.  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Unfortunately my experience was not as stellar as the other reviewer. I took a six foot by four foot (expensive too) 40 year old samurai move poster in to be framed. Their "expert" recommended an archive type of mounting that uses no glue. Well $800.00 dollars later I received a framed picture that quickly started to sag and droop and the frame distorted and the plexi-glass popped out at the top. This was the second plexi-glass as the first was cracked and chipped when I first picked the poster up.
Now I've taken it to another framer only to find out that Art Wave used a double sided sticky tape to secure some of it and it can't be removed without damaging the poster and the tape will be obvious in the new mounting. They also tore the poster and repaired it in the back with scotch tape, so much for archiving.
To top it off, I had taken an identical poster there before I knew all the poor workmanship and another "expert" advised against the type of framing they had done on the first poster.
Unbelievable!
Since then I have used a couple of other places in Burbank. They were both less expensive and did a much better job.

high quality artwork  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

If you are looking for something to brighten up your home, artwork from art-wave will definitely do. My mother had brought a painting from Peru and had been looking for the perfect frame. I searched the well known stores but everything was too modern and I was looking for a classy traditional frame to fit. This store has a lot of options to choose from and many salespeople to help you. But don't forget high quality artwork doesn't come cheap. This may be costly.
