Mainstays Basic Poster and Picture Frame, 20 x 30, Black, Set of 2

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 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.

my frame came cracked and broken in 3 places. i really didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning it to receive another one and figured the broken parts are so small no one will be able to notice from far away. it still makes the poster look nice and will look great on my wall.

I bought this product online simply because I was having prints made for my mom who works at the Walmart store in my town. Knowing that the ladies in the printing department wouldn't be able to contain themselves when it came to her big Christmas surprise, I had no other choice but to order online and figured getting frames at the same time would make the job much easier. Upon opening my package I found that BOTH the frames were broken, and was shocked to see that whomever processed it knew of this due to the TAPE holding the break in the frames together. I now am out the shipping expenses and found that buying two individual frames in store was much cheaper after all. So do yourselves a favor and just take the trip to the store. It's much better time and money wise. On a happier note, the new frames are just as I hoped them to be. I haven't found out how they hold up hanging(they're wrapped up under the tree still), but I'm sure they'll be just great. Best wishes and happy holidays to all you Walmart shoppers out there.

This size was hard to find at a low price but this was a disappointment, wish I had spent more for better quality. It arrived with a broken corner. I kept it because the black edge hides most of the broken area. It’s ok for a dorm room or maybe kids room as it’s cheap plastic.

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.

I would recommend this if you're looking for fast, cheap and effective in a bohemian style room, dorm room, kids room or family playroom. From a distance looks fine but close of the joints don't quite meet up. But fast and easy and did what I wanted in a spare room. I have bought others from another chain that have solid plastic frame, not plastic slides that this one has, and they looked a lot more professional and nicer but are twice the cost (still not too pricey) but I couldn't find them this time around.

The frames were packaged well, and easy to place a poster in. The fact that they were packaged well leads me to believe that there are inherent defects in the manufacturing process. Both frames came with damaged acrylic. One had a visible crack in it, down near the bottom. The other had a piece actually missing from a corner. You couldn't see it, until you removed the black frame edges, to insert the poster. It was covered up again, once the poster was inside. There were also cloudy areas throughout the acrylic pieces that aren't so noticeable with the dark posters that I placed in them, but might be noticeable with lighter posters. I didn't bother returning them because, if there were issues with both, there are probably issues with all of these frames. Basically, they're a simple design that will hold a poster for a kid's room. They're the only plastic poster frames in this size that I could find anywhere. I think that the value would be good if the acrylic was of slightly better quality. Although not thrilled, I don't want to pay for expensive wooden frames for my kids' posters, so this is what is available.

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?

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.
