I'd think the number 1 thing to look for is: are you happy with the work that has been done up to this point? Are things square? Do you like the profile? Or will you have to scrape it down and start over to get something you might be happy with. What's the quality of work like? You mention a "cheap" frame. Are you OK with that? Sometimes you're better off to just build what you want from the get go rather than having to undo somebodies project that wasn't thought out very well and then redo it the way you want. Just my opinion. Doug
