Good craftsmanship isn’t cheap, nor should it be. We’ve got to be mindful of things like overhead too when we’re debating the costs of these services. Here’s what I don’t like about stock frames: they dictate the dimensions of the image and are harder to integrate into existing displays. I want to start making my own frames for pictures when things slow down a bit, but in the meanwhile I will pay the professionals.

I've had a few things framed in the past and I have to say, just by quality of materials and the build alone, professional framing was well worth the money. All of the frames I have gotten back not only look good, but feel sturdy.
