A word of caution about Michaels, from my experience. Make sure you have a copy signed by them, with proof of the piece you have left, and that it is insured if they damage it. AND, talk extensively with the ACTUAL person who will do the work...they have a lot of employees, working at minimum wages and all different shifts. AND, all of the Michaels stores are different...I unfortunatelywent to several of them, like an idiot.

I've had nothing but pure class with the gentleman that I've been working with, however I have used the same guy in all three pieces that I had done and all have came out wonderful

Nice frame options, conservation and museum quality glass and the best prices in town. Plus, 99% of the employees are artists. Ask for Ben. He's very good.

They are not the cheapest (no doubt), but the frame quality and turn-around time is great. They are also pros when it comes to handling quality art, and fully insured against damage.

The framer (Nancie King Mertz) is an artist herself, and I have taken recent pieces there for archival quality framing. Always been pleased with the results. Can't say how her prices compare to CMM.

Wanted something with no adhesive at all for this, and CMM had the idea of a box that opened and could actually swap out other 12" vinyls. Love it, just need to find a spot on the wall
