.. no ikea please!

I need to find some 12x18 frames pretty fast (3) for a show I'm going to have. I can't find anything for between $20-$30. Anyone know of a place having a sale? I'd like to go get some tmw if possible and the reason I am in this situation is because I chose IKEA. I don't require a matte.

Thanks !

I'll need to check that, thanks! So far I've looked at Deserris and some odd shops around here.

12x18 is not one of the standard frame/matte sizes AFAIK, so you may have more luck with looking for 16x20. Anyway I usually get frames from kitchen stuff plus

Your best bet is to go to Henrys (downtown), Vistek, or Downtown Camera - a few years ago I bought some nice 12x18 frames from downtown camera on sale.

However, if you go to vistek's website you can see several different 12x18 frames (not sure which they have in stock in store - but anything else can be ordered from their website)

Below is a link to one of their 12x18 frames for sale thats $30
