We get asked all the time about inexpensive ways to frame art. Our answers have run the gamut from super-cheap, cheap, inexpensive, and on and on. But, for some reason Cheap Pete's has never been profiled, and we're here to rectify that...

cheap pete's in san mateo did a great job on my mom's jefferson airplane poster, and the ork sf poster i got (it's a large square shape so you can't really find a pre-made frame for that).
michael's has done a good job too with my friend's triptych from art purchased in china town - just wait until the sunday chronicle to see if they have a coupon for framing (they usually do - and about 40% off). grafiksgirl on Jan 20, 2009
I don't think I'd leave any original art there, but I've had a number of custom mats cut at Cheap Pete's (and then I put everything together myself) and they were good for that. It's mostly been for prints and such, nothing crazy valuable. small clever rooms on Jan 13, 2009
