Classy frames - definitely recommend
I knocked a frame off my wall and broke it some years ago. I happened across a two pack of these during a sale, so I went for them, as I needed a matched set.These are nice frames. They feel very sturdy and they look classy. My items were matted gold and black in wood color frames; now they're in black frames and I really like the new look.Putting in my already matted items was a tight fit; it was a tight fit getting the included cardboard back in, but it all eventually went, with a little patience.The packaging is solid too, each in its own box and with some serious foam corners over the plastic wrap.Definitely recommend!

LOVE these frames, but the mats are totally the wrong color
Second time buying these, this time in the white wood tone, and just as pleased. Wonderful quality, present themselves beautifully, and a good value. Highly recommend!EDIT: I know have three sets of these frames. The first was in the beige, which is great, and I have two sets (6 and 10) of the rustic white. I LOVE the frames. They present themselves beautifully and I would definitely purchase again. I'm only a little annoyed with my last purchase because the matting is ivory. It looks really weird with the white frame. I had to go to Hobby Lobby and buy all new matting, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but at $5 each and the fact that I needed 10 of them... it definitely added to the overall spend. They turned out beautiful and I am pleased, but I hope the manufacturer will consider changing the mat color.I added a photo to show the matting. Top 2 are the ivory, bottom are my new mats. And I will say, my new mats are not even PURE white... so it really goes to show how yellow-y the originals are.

High Quality and Beautiful
Between you and me I usually spend $10 or less on a picture frame... but I recently purchased a painting I loved and wanted the perfect frame for it, this seemed to be the only one to fit the bill, and WOW. The frame is heavy and nice quality. I didn’t notice any chipping and the frame seemed well packaged. I thought the depth options for the frame were cool too, the deep set photo seems fancy to me compared to just having it pushed to the glass like most frames! My painting is an 11x14 and I felt like the mat was exactly that same size. I would have preferred it to have a little bit smaller of an opening so I didn’t have to be so careful getting the edges perfect. Not sure if my photo is actually a little small or if the mat is cut a little big. But the end result is lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to order again.

Excellent frame for multiple uses
This is a great frame and worth the somewhat higher price. I've ordered two of these in the grey color and been very pleased with the quality and the careful (but not overdone) shipping and packaging. The walls in the bathroom are a grayish, light tan color, and I wanted a complimentary frame color (11x14) with a 8 x 10 mat. This fit the bill perfectly. I used the "shadow box" style to put a little room between the print and the frame and to make it a bit more distinct from the other prints on the adjacent wall. (If you order this frame, you'll see an insert that allows you to do this.) The other frame that I purchased six months earlier also arrived in great shape. I used it as a picture frame (no shadow box) for an 8 x10 photo and am very happy with how both of these turned out. Highly recommended.

Thoughts from someone who has worked in picture framing
The frame is not wood; it is a composite likely made of resin and wood shavings (like a lot of frames these days). It looks like a gray-brown distressed wood. It's a very neutral color. The depth is slightly over 1 inch, but the distance from the rabbet to the frame points is about 3/4 inch, so that is how much you will be able to fit unless you add your own frame points in a different location. You can use a flat head screw driver to fold the points upward toward the wood to lift out the frame package. When you put the frame package back in, use the same flat head to fold them back down. I am going to guess that the metal points will take about three or four "reframings" before they snap from folding up and down: not bad. There are two points on the short sides and three points on the long sides. The glass is sanded at the edges, which is nice because it is less likely to cut your fingers when you handle it. The mat appears to be a decent quality. The mat opening is 10 1/2 x 13 1/2. There is a 1/2 inch deep particle board spacer under the mat, giving it a shadow-box effect. The spacer opening is 15 1/2 x 19 1/2, so if you use the spacer, whatever you frame has to be at least that large or it will float loose inside the mat with nothing holding it down. You don't have to use the spacer, though. It is completely removable. The backing gets the lowest score from me. I recommend that you add an archival paperboard backing and toss out the particle-board backing. This is a very acidic material and it will cause paper to yellow over time. It also adds a lot of unnecessary weight. Most art or frame stores will sell you an archival board cut to size. There are some flimsy metal sawtooths embedded in the particle board backing that are intended for hanging. Instead, I recommend adding eye hooks or small d-rings to each side of the frame about a third of the way from the top and stringing wire across. I found it very easy to add the hardware. The "wood" is soft, but not too soft. With a few modifications, I am happy with this product.

Love
These frames are gorgeous. They came without damage, are scratch resistant plastic. They are light weight and were easy to hang. I recommend them for your artwork.
