Good Frame with only one problem Very nice, easy to use plastic frame. Used these mixed with 8 x 8 frames from the same company for a wall display of bird photographs. The glass is very nice and is far superior to some of the clear plastic used in some frames. Something to keep in mind; since they are front mounted the photo is displayed full edge to edge. Unless you are using a matte or printing on oversize paper and trimming down to 8.5 x 11, the area of the 8.5 x 11 sheet that cannot be printed will be visible as a border. I just standardized that border at 1/4 inch on all the photos and it looks fine. I also liked that the same company provided a wide variety of frame sizes in the same style. Why only 4-stars? The shipment arrived very well packed but three of the six frames had cracks in the plastic at the corner. I have seen that noted on other reviews. I contacted Amazon and they sent a new 6-pack without requiring the return of the damaged ones. The replacement arrived very quickly with no shipping…
Very disappointed with this purchase Although keeping these frames, I would not order them again. Why … they state they are 8.5×11 inch frames, but 8.5×11 paper does not lay flat in them … which means in order from my paper (or documents) to lay flat inside the frames, I have to cut about 1/16″ in from both the long side and the short side. Can we then discuss that your image is no longer centered. And to keep it centered, one would need to cut 1/32″ from all four sides. Sorry, that is not possible with scissors or an average paper cutter.Sure, one could cut 1/16″ off all four sides, but unless you are extremely accurate, the frame lip is very small, so the cardboard stiffener behind your paper might be seen around the edges.Very disappointed with this purchase.
inexpensive frames perfect for a small job in a rental These are not luxury, high-end frames: they’re simple, plastic snap-ins. However, if you’re decorating on a budget, they’re the answer to your prayers. I needed 12 frames for a reading nook project, but there is absolutely nowhere in town to get an item like this without spending a lot of money, so these were perfect for my purposes. In no time at all, I had my pictures snapped in (no glass breaking, no plastic cracking) and the pictures ready to hang– I did that whole part while sitting on the couch. They’re very lightweight, so I just hung them with thumbtacks instead of nails; I’m a renter, so this was also a bonus for me. Even with the thumbtack-hanging job, they don’t appear to be going anywhere, lie flat against the wall, and don’t get crooked or uneven. The glass/plastic in the frame doesn’t really glare (these are by a window), which is nice. Again, these are not for a high-end project in a prominent place, and they wouldn’t look right alongside expensive frames. If…
