Mainstays 18x24 Basic Poster & Picture Frame, Black, Set of 6

I ordered 8 of these. All came in fine. I would definitely reorder these in the future, though I do wish they had a white option, too. The way these work, in case it's not clear from the pictures, is like this: The whole thing is quite light, which I think is a good thing. There is a somewhat-thick cardboard backing that has both horizontal and vertical frame hook "teeth". So you can hang these on a wall in either portrait or landscape orientation. There is a clear sheet of (styrene?) that covers the picture you place between it and the cardboard backing. Finally, there are four black plastic c-shaped rectangular "strips", one for each side of the frame, that slide over the cardboard, picture and styrene. One tip that I came up with while putting in the pictures: The styrene sheet has a removable piece of plastic that covers most of that sheet. Some frames had this peel-off plastic layer initially on the outside and on others it was on the inside. No sweat. But if you to avoid dust or other particles on the picture, I peeled off the plastic and then used that now-exposed side as the side to put into contact with the photo. In other words, peel off the plastic and then use that side as the "inside" of the frame with the other side facing out. Overall: Obviously, these are not intended to be used in the Met and they are rather plain. But for home use where the goal is simply to "get the picture", this does the trick and with no worries about broken glass and no need for extra mounting gear, etc.

Very pleased with this order of 6 frames.They arrived in a self contained,tight,form fitted box.They are in pristine condition.I used one right away.First removing the outer plastic wrap,and then the plastic film protecting the Plexiglas. I flipped the frame upside down and removed the 4 frame parts away from the Plexiglas,then lifting the layers of paper and cardboard ,I inserted my poster and then replaced the paper and cardboard,and then finally and carefully installed the frame pieces.Happy with the results.

I painted 5 portraits and have been looking for the best way to frame them. I spoke to a famous artist and he suggested how I frame and protect my 5 oversized paintings. I am so happy that you had what I needed and the paintings look professional! I did them over 10 years ago and I am very proud of my art with no background in art but a figment of what I saw in my mind.

Very cheap quality but after reading others reviews I considered it a win just to get them without much noticable damage. If you can get the shipment undamaged and get your posters hung they actually look good. I will buy them again in the future if I need more frames.

This is the one you take of the edges and clip them back kind of frame. Knowing I shouldn't expect muchfor how much I pay for, but my frame's front covering came in chipped, disappointed. I again have to use some tape for my framing. I think walmart should have better packaging training. Having a huge box with more spacing is just giving more room for motion and break the product. Should have use a smaller box and better cushioning.

not bad , just that they have to be careful when shipping them ,because 3 out 4 were crack at the top right hand side of them. I need to re-order more of them though another 8 more I have many posters to hang up and trying to save them from getting rip, .

You get what you pay for. It is an extremely basic poster frame, consisting of a cardboard backing, plastic sheet, and four detachable black frame pieces. When I received it, the plastic sheet had small dents all over it, creating very visible marks everywhere. I was able to request a replacement product, but this time, one corner of the plastic sheet was chipped and bent. Is the purchase of a product without flaws too much to ask for?

You cannot beat the price. $2.50?! Crazy. I ordered four, and one arrive cracked. They replaced it quickly. You definitely get what you pay for, and they are flimsy. You need to secure the corners in the back with duct tape or something because the plastic railings will eventually slip. But if you have a cheap poster that you wanna frame, you could give this a try.

I would have put 4 stars for this product but it came damaged...obviously it was damaged before it was put in the package because there is nothing wrong with the package. very disappointed because now I have to return to the store and wait for another to be delivered! Annoying!

I don't think the quality can be any cheaper, it is so flimsy and every little move can knock the plastic sides loose and you have to do it all over again. Maybe this works with the very thin posters you can get for $5 but my thick poster wanted nothing to do with this frame. The corners never meet so you have this awkward gap between them. If you have posters that are good quality just spend the extra money because this frame is not even worth a dollar. It's just a big thin piece of cardboard, a thin sheet of plastic, and the 4 frame pieces. Going to roll my poster up and trash this.
