Artwork Size:

Begin by entering the actual size of your artwork only. Frames made to fit this sized artwork. Select either a 'Standard Size' from the drop-down menu or enter a 'Custom Size'. Please measure the width and length of your artwork when entering the size.

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

Installation (for Charleston area only):

Then, if needed, follow our detailed 'Installation' instructions from the drop-down menu that provides (4) different ways to install, receive, and deliver your framed artwork.

Hardware (if needed):

Additionally, select the necessary hardware kit containing offset clips, screws, and hanging materials to secure, wire, and hang your artwork.

Lastly, if prompted, select pickup, local delivery, or ground shipping option. Pickup and local delivery apply only to Charleston area orders. Finally, at checkout, please change the "shipping method" underneath the address section to either local pickup or delivery if needed.

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.

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.
