The GMFrames Solid Wood Diploma Frame is a versatile and elegant choice for showcasing your important certificates and diplomas. Designed to fit an 8.5" x 11" certificate with a black over gold double mat or an 11" x 14" document without the mat, this frame not only enhances the visual appeal of your documents but also ensures their safety and longevity.
Wanted a wood frame with the acrylic uv resistant clear sheet so went with this. No disappointed at all. This looks very nice, and despite personally never having framed anything myself, this was very easy to use. Seems like good quality that should last for years to come.
Very nice picture frames for the price
Looks great just as advertised
Purchase for friends, they were pleased with the appearance and quality.
The GMFrames frame is fine as a lightweight wood diploma frame that can be hung on the wall or stood up on a desk. Nothing really differentiates it from a picture frame except maybe the darker finish. The frame's unit-packaging was very good, with a cardboard box, corner protection, a bubble-wrap surrounding the whole frame, and even peel-away stickers on the acrylic. The MDF backing board is held into the wood outer frame by metal pins that must be bent to access the interior. The backing board has an integrated kickstand for freestanding on a desk, complete with a ribbon to prevent the support from opening too wide. There are metal triangles attached to the MDF board to allow hanging from a single picture hook in both portrait or landscape orientation too. There was an example diploma included inside the frame too.I did notice "spiderweb" of either plasticizer residues or scratches across the acrylic upon removing the protective film. I suspect it's some sort of residue because they're not repeating or linear like I'd expect from scratches. It's only visible with light at the right angle and I've not yet been able to capture it in a photo. It might be bothersome if the frame is propped up on a desk facing you, but I also will attempt to remove it with glass cleaner at some point. The outer box suggests the frame is "clear high definition glass" but it's a thin piece of acrylic (which is what the amazon listing states).
This is a nice frame for any letter-size (8-1/2 X 11) artwork. I used it for an antique sign.
….at a great price.
