Americanflat 12x18 Poster Frame with Polished Plexiglass - Black Picture Frame - Wide Photo Frames Made of Engineered Wood for Vertical or Horizontal Wall Display - Epic Collection - Black

I bought the Americanflat 14x22 Picture Frame with polished plexiglass specifically for some odd-sized Broadway posters, and it absolutely delivered. The frame was easy to put together, felt sturdy, and the plexiglass looks clean and clear without distracting from the artwork. Fit was spot-on, which can be hard to find with non-standard poster sizes. Once mounted, everything looked sharp and professional—this frame did a hell of a job. Highly recommended for theater posters or any prints that don’t fit the usual dimensions.

I needed something to frame some of my daughter's artwork from middle school and this frame fit perfectly. It's a nice, sturdy frame. The plexiglass is clear and lightweight (compared to glass) and the price was good. I would purchase these frames again.

I got a limited numbered poster of Fallout New Vegas for its 15th anniversary and I wanted just a really simple frame that was sturdy and safe. This thing is sturdy. I honestly didn't read anything about the description I was just really stoked that I found an odd sized picture frame that was black and under 40 dollars to use. I didn't know it was plexiglass, but the plexiglass is very clear. The back has I think 16 clasps that need to be moved, so the backing can come off, and the hinges are metal. I highly recommend this.

I was already wary based on the reviews, but it seems like everyone covered all the major points. It isn’t very well made and would probably not last if you’re handling it roughly or it falls as it’s only being held by a few staples. That said, there are not many major practical complaints as it arrived in good condition. It can get your job done. I ordered an open box one that was packaged well although it did seem to have quite a few unnatural knicks, but most of them are not visible when on the wall. The frame itself feels like a cheap compressed wood but is light in terms of weight. It honestly feels like an $18-$25 frame (i.e. more expensive then the quality reflects), but I do like that it is really easy to use with somewhat loose sliding clasps and a loose backboard. I would recommend taping your picture in though if it is not snug to the actual size of the window. The clear plastic that protects the picture also had a film that was easy to remove (and did seem to help; there were a TON of scratches on it but it didn’t seem to transfer underneath). The hanging hooks are only available on the wooden frame rather then traditionally on the back board. And unlike the description, it does not supply a nail for installation. It does include a wire though. Tl;dr it’s not the most value frames I’ve ever bought, and I probably wouldn’t buy it again, but it will suffice for what you need it to do. Packaging was good— although with a good delivery person it might be overkill as there is no glass that might be shattered. The quality of the frame is not great, but once it’s on the wall you can barely tell. It seems to be a bit easier to install in comparison to big box art store brands.

Great frame. Beautiful. Heavy. Well made. Definitely a great buy

Background: I'm a semi-pro photographer with more than 15 years of experience, and I have previously worked in a pro frame shop for a short period of time framing flat art of all sizes. I was looking for an inexpensive frame to replace damaged art in a high traffic area of our home. I purchased a 16x16 inch black frame with plexiglass glazing, and I'm overall happy with this purchase. The frame was well packaged and arrived safely two days after I ordered (with Amazon Prime). The plexiglass had a layer of film on either side to keep it protected and then the frame had styrofoam and cardboard protectors on the corners, was wrapped in plastic, and packaged inside a thin layer of styrofoam in a fitted box. IMO just enough packaging to protect the frame without being excessive. The frame is pre-strung with hangers to orient it vertically or horizontally (kind of unnecessary in this case since the frame is square) and comes with a wire hanger and instructions to attach it. The hanging wire provided is a thicker/stiffer than needed for this application and longer than needed so you do need wire cutters to trim it to size, but it works. Assembling the frame and installing my art was easy. The plexiglass is thin and flexes easily so it needs a little guidance to get it to sit square in the frame rabbet. My plexiglass had a couple small (about 1/4 inch) scratches about 2 inches from the edge (visible before I removed the protective backing), so not perfect but not too large or in a place where it would be conspicuous. The frame itself is nicely assembled, with two "staples" joining each corner and the corners well aligned and flush. You can see a slight seam at two of the corners since the material itself is not black all the way through, but this is only upon examining closely and not noticeable from viewing distance (I didn't feel it required any touch up). I found the surface material of the frame to be nicely manufactured - no scratches, dings, bubbling, chips, or other imperfections. I believe the frame is sturdy enough to not warp over time, especially considering the overall light weight of the piece thanks to the plexi glazing. This is a cheap frame with thin plastic glazing. The materials are not archival, the glazing is not optical grade, and its less than $30 for the 16x16 size. For the price, I think it is a great option for inexpensively framing midsize art. If anything, I'd like to see felt or rubberized bumpers added to the package so that the corners of the frame don't rest directly on the wall. The piece we wanted to frame was art that I had commissioned of our pup, and unfortunately the hanger supplied with the original frame failed and resulted in the piece falling to the ground, shattering the glass, breaking the frame, and scratching the original print. Because the art itself was damaged and I have the digital file to reprint it in the future if necessary, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a replacement frame and wasn't very concerned about having a perfect optical surface, and this was perfect for safely getting our picture back on our walls. Since the art hangs near our front door and we have a dog and a baby on the way, I actually liked the idea of using plexi and not having to worry about a repeat crash and shatter incident. I think this is a great buy for the money for inexpensive art, and the five star rating I have provided is reflective of the price point and expectations I had for this item. If you have a high value or one of a kind piece you want to last a long time, invest in professional framing and use archival materials and quality UV protective optical glass or acrylic to protect your artwork. If you just want to hang some cheap prints on your walls without spending a ton of money, this is a great option.

Nice picture frame. Can use both vertical or horizontal. Not real heavy. Lightweight. Easy to hang.

These are the best budget frames I’ve found. Super-lite so they hang well with command strips. I’ve bought many different sizes and they seems to hold up great.
