You can check the new price of this frame on the Grace Frame Co site for comparison. The accessories that are listed with the frame are expensive ones so probably sweeten the deal. I would opt for the carriage upgrade to the metal carriage if this frame doesn't come with it, you'll be much happier than you'll be with the wooden carriage. AllBrands has it for $99. Two other thoughts to consider...this frame only holds up to a queen sized quilt and if you think you might want to upgrade to a long arm, you'll probably have to buy another new frame. This frame will hold up to a 14"-15" machine but the quilting space will be somewhat limited.
