Americanflat 12×18 Poster Frame in Black – Composite Wood with Polished Plexiglass – Horizontal and Vertical Formats for Wall with Included Hanging Hardware by Americanflat

I needed nice frames to keep my concert posters good and to also display them in style… so I picked these ones up.

They come with a plastic sheet stuck to the front of them to save them from damage and scraping during transit and it worked. They were the perfect size for my 18″x24″ concert posters.

Excellent quality. I will definitely get more of these if I get any more posters that I need framed.

I was already wary based on the reviews, but it seems like everyone covered all the major points. It isn’t very well made and would probably not last if you’re handling it roughly or it falls as it’s only being held by a few staples. That said, there are not many major practical complaints as it arrived in good condition. It can get your job done.

I ordered an open box one that was packaged well although it did seem to have quite a few unnatural knicks, but most of them are not visible when on the wall. The frame itself feels like a cheap compressed wood but is light in terms of weight.
It honestly feels like an $18-$25 frame (i.e. more expensive then the quality reflects), but I do like that it is really easy to use with somewhat loose sliding clasps and a loose backboard. I would recommend taping your picture in though if it is not snug to the actual size of the window. The clear plastic that protects the picture also had a film that was easy to remove (and did seem to help; there were a TON of scratches on it but it didn’t seem to transfer underneath).

The hanging hooks are only available on the wooden frame rather then traditionally on the back board. And unlike the description, it does not supply a nail for installation. It does include a wire though.
Tl;dr it’s not the most value frames I’ve ever bought, and I probably wouldn’t buy it again, but it will suffice for what you need it to do.
Packaging was good— although with a good delivery person it might be overkill as there is no glass that might be shattered.

The quality of the frame is not great, but once it’s on the wall you can barely tell.
It seems to be a bit easier to install in comparison to big box art store brands.

This is the first time I write a review because I looked for a frame for months for a very special gift. Believe me I’m a perfectionist, I had my eyes on another handmade frame before this one and was devastated when the owner canceled my order last minute. Anyway I bought this frame as a backup plan but it ended up exceeding my expectations and looked even better than the frame I wanted before this one. I honestly wanted to take a picture to post in my review but I forgot and now I already gave it as a gift (sorry! Lol). Anyway I’ll list all the pros:

-Looks just like the picture displayed (It’s a smooth frame with a good balance of shine and matt and looks very sophisticated)
-Flexible Plexiglass thats hard to break and doesn’t glare light
-Perfectly in line frame corners
-Same exact size as advertised (I used it for an 18×24 inch poster)
-Light weight
-Easy to hang (has both side and top hooks to be used for hanging and comes with a wire to hang)
-Safely packaged with not a single scratch or even the slightest damaged (by the way I shipped this to Saudi Arabia and was super worried it would arrive looking dodgy. It had foam in the box + extra protection on the corners to protect the frame itself and the plexiglass had a protector on both sides to be peeled off…it looked brand new)

Pretty pricey but unless you can get kmart manufacturers to make it you’ll never get it any cheaper

Kmart sells giant poster size frames at $20AUD (61×91.5cm) wayyy bigger then this, thats why china is so awesome

anything the price of this frame i just bought which as stated SMALLER than that kmart frame at a real custom frame company will be over $100-$200 bucks, wtf!!

Also this frame size it too unique for australian measurements aswell, for years the poster i wanted to frame was left untouched, googling for the frame size i want, no options anywhere (yes i even tried amazon)

But for some reason this year i tried amazon again, i found the size in the U.S AND it offered free international prime shipping

Totally worth it, i dont care its pricey (over $60AUD) i can finally frame my poster and move on to other projects

P.S the clips that hold the back of the frame move side to side and screwed on, this is great, push them in or out and it frees the back or locks it in

Unlike other backboards the clips dont get pulled back or pushed in which is great as they can get worn out and they can break

I used this 21×29 picture frame to display an Eevee mosaic puzzle and it looks fantastic! It accommodates the unusual size perfectly, and despite being large it’s surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to hang without worrying about it falling. The frame’s simple design keeps the focus on the artwork and gives a clean, polished finish.

Tip: Measure your piece carefully before ordering to be sure of the fit, and use hanging hardware rated for the weight to keep it secure.

Verdict: A great-looking, lightweight frame that’s perfect for puzzles, posters, or other large pieces. Highly recommended for giving your work a professional display.
