I have one of these and can vouch for it's excellent quality. However, finding a store bought frame to fit it is impossible, and having one custom made is uber expensive. I ended up buying the biggest poster frame I could find, then basically I cut the the frame in half to the correct shape of the poster and cut the poster down considerably in order to fit.

i do agree with the framing being expensive! mine's still rolled up in the tube because i haven't found one that fits and i am kinda nervous to go to place to the outrageous bill! lol
