-- Wooden Picture Frames Information --

 

-- Frame Only --

With this choice you will receive a Custom Made Wooden Picture Frame, in virtually any size you could want.

-- 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 hardwood dowels on the narrower moldings and hardwood biscuits on the wider moldings. Larger size frames will have angle brackets (Shown Below) on the back side of corners for added strength.

-- Shipping --

Custom Picture Frames are normally shipped within a few Days of receiving an order.

We take great care packing frames for shipping. We use high density foam sheets to wrap frames and styrofoam peanuts when packing in boxes.

Assembled frames bigger than about 16" x 20" will be shipped in a sturdy wooden framed box.

Frames ordered with Clear Acrylic or with a Mirror are always shipped assembled in all sizes.

-- Large Frame Shipping --

Because of very high shipping charges, if your frame is larger than (Width + Height total of 68 inches) it may be shipped unassembled with angle brackets. Your frame will be drilled and ready for your quick and easy assembly. All you will need is a screwdriver. You will be notified in the shopping cart if your frame will be shipped unassembled.

These large frames will be shipped in very heavy duty cardboard tubes (about 1/2" thick).

Shipping over-size frames unassembled will save you over Sixty dollars compared to shipping them assembled.

-- Shipping Damage --

It is rare, but if your order is damaged in shipment we will replace it at no cost to you. Call or E-mail us right away.

We insure all shipments. In order for us to collect on the insurance you will need to call FedEx and tell them that you have damaged merchandise. They will come back and pick-up the box and frame to evaluate the cause and send the box back to us.

-- Frame Samples --

You will receive a sample piece of the molding shown on page. It will be a straight piece approx. 5" long. Our molding samples are worth more than we charge so to keep the cost down we use left-over pieces and pieces with minor flaws that are not usable for a frame but still a good example of the molding.
