Your frame will be shipped assembled unless it is Clearly Stated when you add it to the shopping cart that it isn't. Frame over this size (width + width + length = 144") will be shipped unassembled all other frames are shipped assembled.

-- Frame Size --

Frame size, is the size of the recessed opening on the back of the frame. Your frame opening will be Approx. 1/8" larger than ordered size. This is the industry standard, it allows room for your art to fit in the back of the frame.

Example: If you have an 11" x 14" picture, you will need to order an 11" x 14" frame. It will be made approx. 11 1/8" x 14 1/8"

-- Figuring the "Outside Size" of Your Frame --

The "outside size" of your frame will be bigger by approx. (double the molding width less 1/2"). This is the space a frame will take on your wall, it is not the size to order.

Example #1: If you order an 11 x 14 frame made with 3" wide molding, your frames outside size will be approx. 5 1/2" wider & higher, for an "outside size" of approx. 16 1/2" x 19 1/2"

Example #2: If you order an 11 x 14 frame made with 1 1/2" wide molding, your frames outside size will be approx. 2 1/2" wider & higher, for an "outside size" of approx. 13 1/2" x 16 1/2"

-- Frame Assembly --

For added strength your picture frame will come completely assembled with the mitered corners joined with glue and V-nails on the narrower moldings and hardwood biscuits and V-nails on the wider moldings. Larger size frames will have angle brackets (Shown Below) on the back side of corners for added strength.
