Mainstays 20x30 Basic Picture Frames, Black, Set of 2

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.

Having read the prior reviews, I was pleased to find that my frames were not broken or cracked as some other customers were. These are very simple frames, no frills, but completely serve the purpose I needed which was for my young son's sports poster. If you are looking for a better quality, longer lasting frame for something important, you may not be satisfied with this. Otherwise it looks fine and met our needs
