The Good Stuff

Mirror work
Reviews describe successful custom mirror projects, including full-wall mirrors, a mirror wall and three custom-made mirrors.
Design guidance
Staff are praised for patiently advising on frame styles, colours, sizing, positioning, borders and matting.
Print quality
Customers mention strong print and frame quality, including large-format photos and canvas printing completed on time.

Delivery teams have installed paintings, mirrors and glass doors carefully and professionally.
Specialty pieces
The shop has framed less-standard items precisely, including Kyoto fans, completed puzzles, autographed posters and props.
Fast responses
Several reviews describe prompt replies and smooth communication, including wallpaper work coordinated by text.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm cropping. For A3+ or other prints, confirm the final frame size, border, matting and whether any image will be trimmed before approval.
Clarify timing. Before paying, get the agreed turnaround and delivery details in writing; one customer received a clear commitment only after payment.
Allow lead time. If ordering shower glass, allow extra time for scheduling because one reviewer found most technicians were busy.
Request options. Ask to see frame choices and discuss sizing or positioning; reviews say the team advises on styles, colours and framing options.
Check order. At collection or delivery, check every framed piece against the order, since one customer found two of three frames missing.

The Bottom Line
Desert Frames & Glass in Al Barsha is a practical choice when you need more than a standard off-the-shelf frame. Customers have used it for paintings, prints, puzzles, medals, jerseys and Kyoto fans, with advice on borders, matting, sizing and frame styles. The shop also handles custom mirrors and shower glass, including larger installations.
The strongest pattern is hands-on guidance paired with finished work that many reviewers describe as detailed and professional. One customer arranged a floating frame for a 6-foot artwork entirely by text, then received door-to-door delivery and flawless installation. Other reviews mention museum glass, full-wall mirrors, large-format photo printing and canvas printing.
A framing review reported a roughly four-business-day turnaround, while another large-format order was ready the following day. There are some important checks to make. Confirm in writing whether prints will be cropped, especially A3+ work, and get the price, payment requirements and promised completion date clearly before paying.
A few customers reported missing frames, repeated repairs, poor follow-up or unclear communication. Shower-glass scheduling may also take longer when technicians are busy. Pricing is not consistently published, though one reviewer paid AED 405 for three small framed photos and service.
