We do our best to ensure products are in stock but they can, from time to time, become back ordered or discontinued by our suppliers.

Yes, our frames have a standard allowance of 1/8" inch. To help your art fit securely inside the frame without being too tight, we typically allow for an extra 1/8th of an inch allowance. So, your frame will be just slightly larger than your art.

Most of our frames have a standard rabbet width, also known as the frame lip of 1/4", thus the front viewable opening will be slightly smaller. For example, an 8″ × 10″ picture frame is to fit an 8″ × 10″ photo with a viewable opening of 7-1/2" x 9-1/2" inches.

West Frames makes every effort to provide high-quality images, and measurements to assist you in selecting your order. However, images may vary in color depending on your monitor color settings. Sometimes measurements are rounded off, and occasionally they will vary slightly from the description. If precise dimensions or colors are critical to your order we suggest contacting us in order to further assist you. Please note: We are not responsible for color variations or measurements that are slightly off.
