I can't say enough about Big Apple Art Gallery. I had what I thought was a difficult job - framing three similar, but not the same items. I think most framers would have put all three in one big frame. Mo suggested I frame them separately - that way each child could keep their own item when they eventually leave home. I wanted them to be the same size and the same general look. What Mo did was pure genius. Now these three items can either hang together or in separate places. Mo's eye for color is extremely keen - while you can't see it in this photo - each frame has a second color in the inside - two have pink (for the two girls) and one has a beautiful brown (for the boy). I'm definitely using Big Apple for my next framing job. It simply couldn't have come out better. And, to boot, the price was right. Mo was kind enough to work with me on that also.

I had such a fantastic experience at Big Apple. Muhammad is so personal, friendly, and he advised me through the entire process. The end result was better than I could have ever imagined.

Great experience overall. Mo is incredibly friendly and helpful. He gave us the best price I could find after getting quotes from seven other framing stores and did a perfect job. I would definitely use Big Apple Gallery again.

Big Apple Art Gallery fixed a framed item for me that another framer made a mistake on. They did a great job and were extremely nice to deal with both over the phone and in person. I will be using them for all future framing needs.

Mohammed and his team at Big Apple Art do a fantastic job. The quality and service are top notch, and the creativity and originality are what set Big Apple apart from other framers. Mohammed has unique, creative approaches to framing and matting that truly highlight pieces of art.

Awesome!!!!! I was treated so nice by the staff when I came in to get my print framed. They were very patient with me and made several suggestions that helped me decide what I wanted. They have a great selection of frames to choose from and various pricing options for my budget. I will always bring my framing to them.

Bobby Apple's team was great to work with. They were able to quickly turn around 5 framed items for an event with no questions asked and delivered on time. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again.

Mo is the best. He personally made sure my print/frame was exactly the way I wanted it, and even offered to have a messenger bring it to my apartment for free a day before I had asked to pick it up!

I came to this custom framing company with a very specific project in mind to make a showpiece statement for our dental practice lobby. Mo, the owner, took the time to explain all options via a phone call and even FaceTimed with me to view my office space for design and sizing ideas. Really enjoyed working with this company and the results were very impressive. I will be using him in the near future to complete additional decoration projects for our office!

Please go see Big Apple for all your custom framing needs. I'm tellin you now. Awesome customer service. Brought in a picture to be matted and framed as a present and they were able to do it with minimal turnaround. I changed my mind on the size of the frame the day before i was supposed to pick it up and even though they had already finished it, they were more than happy to re-do the frame and accomodate me. Easy and accessible location if you are in midtown east. They will be seeing repeat business from me and my company for sure.

I am a glass artist looking for someone to custom make some welded steel frames for my work for an upcoming show. I came across Big Apple and was very impressed. They were quick to respond, very professional, fairly priced and offered a quick turn-around. I would certainly recommend them!

Mo is the absolute best! I called him on a Wednesday at 5PM with a ridiculous request to have my two prints framed by Friday at noon and somehow, he made it happen. Not only was Mo accommodating and kind, he did an beautiful job with my two pieces. I will definitely be coming back to Big Apple Art in the future!

I absolutely love taking my art and photography here to have framed. The owner is extremely thorough and an expert at what he does. He spent time with me picking the proper frames and mats to match, and the turn around time was absolutely fair for the amount of items I had brought. I only trust this shop to take my pieces and make them even more beautiful to last a lifetime! Thank you guys.

Extremely knowledgeable, a thoroughly pleasant experience framing many prints over many years at Big Apple Art Gallery. Mo has the experience and an eye to help you choose the best custom framing with reasonable prices. He is willing to take on jobs that need to be finished quickly and will deliver pictures as well. I have been bringing all my pictures and projects to Big Apple Art Gallery for custom framing and would highly recommend them to everyone.

I recently had a painting framed at Big Apple Art Gallery and Custom Framing and was very impressed by their personalized service and courteous and professional approach. They were very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions even after I had left the store (via text). The framing was completed to an extremely high standard, in less than a week and for a competitive price. I would not hesitate to recommend them for anyone who needs a custom frame.

Big Apple Framing was great! I am an artist and I had a commission that needed to be framed right away to be delivered. They worked with me to find the right frame and make a really tight deadline and were always friendly and helpful!
