I have some previously matted photographs that I want to reframe, but can't pay custom framing prices.

Is there somewhere in the Detroit metro area where I can buy simple, readymade frames w/glass in 16" x 20" and 20' x 24" sizes at a reasonable price?

Michael's carries 16 x 20, but nothing larger.

Any suggestions?

Utrcht has some pre-made frames but I'm not certain of the sizes they carry.

Did you try a Jo-Anne Craft store? They have frames off the shelf too.

Most art stores have frames that you can build yourself. You just purchase the pieces based and width and height. Then you can go to the hardware store and get glass cut to fit. Thats what I usually do and it helps for oddly shaped pictures that ready made frames arent made for.
