Looking for picture framing place

Can anyone recommend a place they particularly like, preferably in Porter/Davis, to have prints framed? I used to go to M.S. Murphy in Davis -- they were great. They had a good selection of frames, were good at helping you pick frames and matting, took time with customers, etc. I'm looking for someplace that's like that, but not ultra-expensive. I remember going to Frameworks (now Corners) and you had to take a number, wait around, and then they kind of rushed you through.

Frameworks merged with Corners? I didn't know that.

Frame King merged with Corners. Corners recently went out of business, as discussed below.

Frameworks moved to Burlington, I think.

The store on Mass Ave near Verna's that was Frameworks is now "Boston Frame Works." I don't know how they are connected to the old Frameworks. I can't recommend them, though, because the last time I took something there, nothing special, it came out ultra-expensive.

I don't think it's the same people. I think the former Cambridge Frameworks people moved to Burlington (http://www.frameworksburl.com/). The Boston Frame Works people aren't the same people, I don't think; it seems to me that the Cambridge Frameworks was owned by a woman, while the Boston Frame Works is owned by a man.
