Furthermore, our traditional frames come with an allowance of 1/8” for fit. This means that we add 1/8” to the size entered.

Smaller Frames:
We always ship smaller to mid-sized frames as fully-assembled by default. If you do not see an option for "ready-to-assemble", then know that we will ship the frame "fully-assembled".
Moderate Sized Frames:
There are choices when shipping mid-sized frames. Choose between a "Ready-to-Assemble" kit for no additional charge or "Fully-Assembled" for a shipping surcharge if prompted. If any apply, shipping options and additional charges will appear as options after selecting "Nationwide Shipping". Choose accordingly.
Oversized Frames & Ready-to-Assemble:
"Ready-to-Assemble" frames never incur additional charges. "Ready-to-Assemble" frames consist of precision-drilled dovetail corners and dovetail keys for a quick and easy assembly.
Please see our article under "About" for more information. Most, but not all frames can be shipped "Ready-to-Assemble". If you have selected a larger frame and do not see a "Ready-to-Assemble" option then the frame selected cannot be sent in this method. This typically occurs with floater frames that have a very thin side wall.
The Ready-to-Assemble Option:
Mainly, the "Ready-to-Assemble" option allows your frame to be shipped efficiently saving you oversize shipping fees. Moreover, this even makes the shipment of very large frames possible.
Easy Assembly
Finally, assembling the frame takes about 5-10 minutes. Each leg of the frame has been measured, cut, and routed with precision dovetails on each end. These dovetails come together simply by tapping the supplied keys into place. This, plus a little glue makes the process quick and easy.
