Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good site to order frames from. I am looking for something in the middle as far as pricing and quality, wider format than your typical 8x10/16x20 ect..., complete with matting and glass.

Thanks in advance for any helpfull info.

Frame destination. I did a 32X40 frame for an exhibit at the State Capitol and Denver International Airport with UV acryllic glazing and cotton rag mat and it was beautifully packaged and delivered ready to assemble. I normally get my stuff locally and cut my own mats and source my own glazing, but 32X40 is bigger than I like to cut on my cutter, so I went outside for this job.

2nd vote for Frame Destination. I ordered 8 30x34 frames with acrylic. Ordered separate 8-ply mat elsewhere. Keeping in mind measurements need a tolerance of 1/8", one of the frames was just off enough that the acrylic didn't lay in there nicely. They shipped new frame and acrylic, no questions. I was impressed with their service. Only dealt with them on a couple of occasions, but no complaints.

I have had excellent luck with Pictureframes.com Jonathan. You can get custom sizes with everything pre-cut and ready to assemble for very reasonable prices. The only down side is that they don't do glass. They do have UV filtering and non-glare acrylic though. You can upload a small image to the site and use the software to frame it for an idea what it will look like before you buy. The matting and frame colors in the simulation are pretty close to reality. I've been very happy with the results.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have placed an order with frame destination. I must say that the layout of choices in the ordering process was fantastic. Can't wait to see my order.

Thanks again
