Something like that is pure labor. There isn't much more as far as materials go unless you've got some giant mural, but the Shag prints are pretty much similar sizes in overall dimension. I have had a serigraph of the original concept drawing of the Enchanted Tiki Room which is close to the same size dimensionally and it cost me about $175 from Frames USA. And all I really got was a bamboo frame, cheapo glass, and a 1 layer mat. That's it. It would have kicked it up another 25 to 30 bucks if I wanted a double mat. If you want the anti-glare glass you can close to double that price. I could easily spend the extra 100 bucks more on one of the frame set ups from Fetish Frames if they are indeed that cool. I need to actually put my hands on something and see it before I'm willing to fork over that kind of dough, though. Sometimes things photograph really well and end up being really lame once you see it first hand. I'm taking my Big Mug print over there this weekend to get a quote. I'll post the results.
