An artist’s dream store! Plus, they have things for everyday people who want frames, colored pencils and markers and other craft items. Plus, the employees are super nice here.

Dick Blick is the largest chain in the Bay Area for drawing, modeling, design, and painting supplies. No matter what you need, whether it’s for a hobby, study, or professional work, you’ll find the precise item at Blick. The stores are huge and located all over the Bay Area. I visited the Berkeley location to get special Canson papers and brushes that my daughter needed for one of her architecture courses. The most important thing is that the entire Blick staff is always ready to help you find what you’re looking for, and they do it with a smile. Don’t hesitate to visit them if you enjoy these kinds of supplies.

I gave them a couple of stars because the actual work was done well. But the customer service has a lot to be desired. I was told my picture framing would take 2 to 3 weeks and probably closer to three weeks. So at three weeks and one day I called them. The person who answered the phone looked up my order and said “I see this was due yesterday, I have it here but I haven’t started it yet. Is there a reason you need it now?” They hadn’t started yet? Seriously???? I assumed the reason it took three weeks is that they had to send it out. So that means it was just sitting there for three weeks and they didn’t bother with it and acted like it was no big deal. The correct action would have been “we are very sorry that your framing isn’t completed on time we will have it done ASAP.” And maybe even the offer of discount for their mistake and lack of follow through. None of that happened, and it took them two more weeks to do a simple frame that cost three times with my painting cost. I just remodeled my house and I’m putting up all new artwork. I won’t be returning to Blick for any of my needs.

Came to this location to purchase an easel I was in the area. The easel I wanted was the convertible, but it was out of stock. The only available one was the display so I asked if that could be purchased. The staff member told me yes but they will charge me an additional $50 because it is already built, so I asked the female staff, would she find out if the store on Broadway in Oakland has one available she told me she could give me the phone number, but I told her I already can look that up myself. This post was for the lack of CUSTOMER SERVICE also the additional $50 was unnecessary In my opinion. It’s a display item. It’s been on display for probably some time collecting wear and tear . So make it make sense. Now I could’ve asked for a manager, but considering there are 1 million easels in the world, I decided to spend my money elsewhere for one.
