Fabulous service and the work carried out was very professional. Excellent framing. Very happy with the result and the price was very reasonable. Thoroughly recommend!

Response from the owner: Hi Amanda. Thank you so much for your review. Very much appreciated. Makes such a difference when a canvas painting has been stretched. Becomes a real piece of art. Thank you.

Nikieta Hesse

I recently had two paintings and two prints framed by Barry and they turned out exceptionally! As a first time framer he talked me through my options and made it a really fun and personal experience. I love the outcome, thank you so much!(I’ve added two photos as examples).

Response from the owner: Hi Nikieta, thank you so much for the review. It was really good meeting you and I’m glad you enjoyed the overall experience. Happy to go through the different options with you as it is important to me that you are pleased with the end result. Also, a very big thank you for including the 2 photos.

Ellena Thompson

Excellent craftsmanship. I had three items framed by Barry; a poster, a vinyl record, and my Mother’s childhood ballet shoes. They all turned out beautifully.Barry kindly gave up his time on his day off just to see me. During the consultation, he was very patient and easy to talk to. Discussing options was a breeze.He went above and beyond to source hot pink moulding, and kept me up-to-date during the process.Barry truely understands the sentimental value of his clients’ possessions. He generously upgraded the standard glass on the shadow box (which houses 50+ year old ballet shoes), to a UV protection glass at no extra cost. What an absolutely lovely and thoughtful gesture.Highly recommend!

Response from the owner: Hi Ellena,thank you for such a glowing review. It is very much appreciated. Close to being in business for 20 years and it is the first time I’ve had a customer who has drawn diagrams for the items they want framed, including colours of both frame and matboards as well as dimensions. That was so good.Thank you for choosing I’ve Been Framed and allowing me to frame the 3 items but especially the ballet shoe knowing it has such a sentimental value to you. Thanks again Ellena

Rochelle Thompson

Great selection. Professional. Great quality.

Response from the owner: Thank you Rochelle for the 5 Star review. Very much appreciated

Amanda Nickel

Barry’s work is wonderful. He has framed a large photo and a painting for me and both have come out looking amazing! He’s got a good eye for colour and can help choose the right frame for you. He’s very easy to talk to and i would highly recommend him.

Response from the owner: Hi Amanda,I really appreciate the 5 Star review. Thank you so much. Nice to frame a canvas painting from a local area. Moogerah Dam. Brought back childhood memories.

Kirsten Eriksson

Barry fixed up a botched job (done by someone else) for us. He was able to gain more space on the canvas than we thought he would and did a sturdy and professional job. He even let us pick it up when he was technically closed for holiday. He is also very approachable, happy to go through options with you and always up for a chat. A true gent, thanks Barry!

Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5 Star Review Kirsten. Ah, the 5 Critters on canvas. I was really happy to be able to get more of the image to be on display. Excellent paintings and the simple black frame set them off nicely.

Samantha Gray

Thankyou so much Barry for your fantastic framing and awesome customer service. Brilliant job! Very happy.

Response from the owner: Hi Samantha. Thank you for your review. It was lovely meeting you and having the opportunity to frame a poster which represented the greatest game on Earth. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane seeing all those Liverpool players from yesteryear, including those of the era when Liverpool were known as the well oiled machine. Go Chelsea. oops!!!

Cassie Woolley

Fantastic job stretching my canvas with all care taken. He also included felt bits on the corner and strung it to sit close to the wall.

Response from the owner: Hi Cassie. Thank you for your review. Aboriginal painting on canvas and excellent quality canvas at that. When the 32mm stretcher bar is used, I like to screw the D Hooks on the inside of the stretcher bar which does allow the frame to sit closer to the wall, as well as placing bumpons on each corner to protect the wall and to allow for airflow. Thank you again.

Sarah Nugent

Great service and lovely framing. Barry was very patient and explained all of the options etc. Love my frame and so excited to hang it in my home.

Response from the owner: Hi Sarah, thank you so much for the 5 Star Review. That is a really lovely canvas print and I’m glad you are so happy with it. Thank you for choosing I’ve Been Framed

Ryan McBride

My family and I have been using Barry for all of our framing needs for years now. His work is flawless and always reasonably priced. I picked up our latest print yesterday and we are beyond thrilled with it. Love his work! Thanks Barry.

Response from the owner: Hi Ryan, Always a pleasure framing speaking with you, Rachel and your mum. Thank you so much for the review. All the best on your new venture and hopefully I’ll see you again in the not too distant future.

Ben Wadley

I can highly recommend Barry from I’ve Been Framed. His expertise in professionally framing is the best i have seen. As a dealer in vintage and rare Movie Posters (All About Movies) I am very particular about who i recommend to do framing. Barry is an expert in this area and knows how to frame any item that requires not just an impressive look but also how to preserve the integrity of the item. You cannot go wrong by choosing Barry from I’ve Been Framed for any of your framing needs.

Response from the owner: Thank you Ben for such a great review. I certainly appreciate you sending/recommending your customers to me. The finished products look excellent and the majority of them are framed using museum grade products, matboards, backing boards, conservation glass and tape, all of which preserve the Movie Posters. Thanks again Ben

Hannah

Very happy with Barry and his expertise. He’s framed 2 degrees and 1 artwork so far and they’re excellent quality and more affordable than framing stores.

Response from the owner: Hi Hannah. I really appreciate your 5 Star Review. Thank you for choosing I’ve Been Framed to frame your 2 university degrees and the Vintage Vogue poster. Pretty cool poster is that.

Kerry T

Response from the owner: Hi Kerry. Thank you for your review. I frame many sports shirts/jerseys but not too many Parramatta jerseys. The first rugby league team I supported when I came to Australia. Stirling, Kenny, Grothe, Cronin, Price and the underrated Taylor. Framing different items can certainly evoke memories.

Barry helped me choose a frame for an Egyptian print on papyrus. I was really pleased with the end result. It looks fabulous, the work is professional and was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend I’ve Been Framed and would use this service again. Thank you Barry.

Response from the owner: Hi Judy. Thank you so much for your review. The gold frame and single black matboard really suited the Egyptian papyrus. Always good to know my customers are pleased with the end result.

Fantastic service and top quality!! Thanks Barry.

Response from the owner: Hi Annie. Thank you for your kind review. Much appreciated. Jigsaw puzzles look excellent when framed and also a bonus that you’ll never lose a piece of the puzzle.

Jenny Jenny

Barry is insightful, he understood my vision. The finished product was much better than I could have imagined. And the pricing was much less than expected.

Response from the owner: Hi Jenny. Thank you for the review. It is always nice when a customer says the finished product is much better than they expected. Very much a compliment. Thank you.

Diana Comber

Barry made the process of choosing framing for my print so easy. If you are unsure, he will patiently talk through all the options till you are happy. Such attention to detail and quality finishes. He went above and beyond to make the gift for my parents extra special. A BIG thank you and I will definitely be back!

Response from the owner: Thank you for the lovely review Diana. That was a lovely print you had framed for your parents and I’m sure they loved it. Also having it set back 5mm [shadow box] really added to the uniqueness of it.

JMP P (JMP)

Such a great experience with Barry framing my precious painting. A great work done in such a short span of time with great skills. His work reflects his experience and artistry. A treasure to keep for ever. Will never go anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Response from the owner: I really appreciate the review you have left for me. Attention to detail is important and customer satisfaction is something I always strive for.

Gayle Fraser

Barry has done a fantastic job in framing my tapestries. With his expert eye, he helped me select complementary framing and mats, which work well. The quality of Barry’s work is wonderful with obvious attention to the little extra details. Thanks Barry for a high quality end product.

Response from the owner: Hi Gayle, it was a pleasure framing your 3 tapestries. 3 Australian Native birds. You made an excellent job in choosing the matboard colour as well as the rustic timber frame. The Ultra Vue glass also gives them fantastic clarity.

Teghan McGruther

Barry is fantastic! He stretched an Aboriginal painting canvas for me. I looked around to get ideas on prices and Barry was significanrly cheaper and talked through what was needed and took the time to explain things, which others didn’t. Finished product looks amazing. 100% would go to him again in future.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5 Star Review Teghan. Always happy to explain the procedure/s I use when framing and I certainly appreciate your acknowledgement of that. Thank you again. Barry
