anyone know where I can get cheap picture frames that are of acceptable quality?

I don't want to pay $10-$40 for a picture frame from blacks, nor do I like the quality of frames from the dollar store.

There's gotta be a nice simple 8x10 frame out there for $5 or so.

Blacks has some frameless frames for a pretty good price, less than $10.


Also Japan Camera sometimes has a 20% off everything sale so things go on sale then save an additional 20%. You gotta watch out for the sales.

Some Horrible pictures are mounted in some real nice frames

Also try some antique shops , in Hamilton , on Locke Street , there are probably 20 antique shops too choose from

I was looking for some 8x10 frames a while ago, and yeah, I was looking for some cheap, simple ones too. I ended up finding what I wanted at a dollar store.

They're basically just a piece of glass, with a particle board back. Four little clips keep the glass onto the board. There's no border around the image, which is the look I like best. So look around at a couple of dollar stores, you might find something similar. If not, then yeah, Ikea has a good selection (http://www.ikea.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=3&categoryId=10246&langId=-15&parentCats=10109*10246&chapterId=10249&cattype=sub).

Im just 2.5 months late, but then again I just joined a few days ago, hehe.

You can get really nice wood 8x10 frames from Michaels, the art store. They are solid wood and quality built, unlike alot of the cheap frames. I think they only come in natural wood brown.
