Why does it say Ready-Made if you make everything?
The reason we call our frames ready-made is because they arrive to you ready-to-use. Our mouldings arrives to us ready to be made into a frame, and then we are responsible for cutting, joining, filling, shrinkwrapping, and packaging the frames before they are shipped to you.
How do I order shell-only?
Go to the page of the frame's series you would like to order. Scroll down, and on the left-hand side there is a sidebar for custom framing. Select the size and you wish to order and change "Complete" to "Shell-Only."
