MCS Format Frame, 12 x 16 in, Black

I looked around on amazon for a bit looking for a frame for a poster I had. I was looking for something that was cheap, sturdy, minimalist, durable, and had four or more stars. This frame met all my criteria, without breaking my wallet. Its has a super minimalist design that is both durable and sturdy. The glass on the front arrived without any chips or cracks. You can display your picture in both landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) ways. The bezels are super tiny, almost invisible, but to show you how small they are I compared them to a standard Ticonderoga pencil in a picture I took. Whats also nice, is the bezels don't cover up any of the poster so you can see the whole thing. It is also quite light so you can hang it and not worry about it falling off the wall. Not that a picture should fall off a wall. Its super easy to put your poster in, you just pop off the front glass carefully, take out the "Format" paper in it, put your picture in, carefully pop the glass back in place, hang it, and voíla! You're done! There are instructions inside if you do get stuck, this doesn't come with an easel, as its too big for that.If you are looking for a 11x17 inch frame that is inexpensive, durable, and stylish. Then this is what you should get, you'll be glad you did.

These frames are my favorite. I have several in different sizes and they always look great, no matter what is being framed. They are super easy to use -- just pop the plastic frame off of the glass and pop it back on. There are several directions to hang these frames, and the hanging hook comes built into the frame for both directions (no adding a separate hook like other frames). The black thin frame looks really good, and it stays in place super well. These frames are lightweight and work on a multitude of surfaces -- we even have one hanging on a bulletin board at work. The thin frame provides a very nice framing to to the artwork without taking away from the art itself. While plastic, it looks professional, not cheap. These frames are intended for flat items --such as prints or flat paintings. If you are framing something with any depth (such as a mixed media item) these won't work because the frame tightly hugs the glass (which is a good thing -- your framed art stays in place). Overall a solid 5 star item for design, durability, ease of use, and looks.

Just today I got them. Could not hold myself from writing this review. I ordered a pack of 6 to know how it looks and feels. They are AWESOME, ULTIMATE and easy to manage. Light weight. Excellent design. There is no back cover, however, we can protect the photo with a card board that comes with the frames.I would order more. this time 12 pack. Parents with kids, can put school portrait which are available to buy in all the sizes like 5/7, 8/10 etc.I have all the portraits in 5*7 size. They look fantastic over the staircase area.I would recommend this to all my friends. go for it guys. Price is amazingly less and never get anything outside for such a rate and in dozens.What they show in video (8*10) is absolutely true. easy to remove and fix. The glasses are safe, no rough edges.Updated one: Packing was excellent. 3 boxes. inner most box had these frames, which was packed in another small box with sheet, again a medium sized amazon box with protective cover.Updated April 4th: I ordered a dozen of them again. They are simply great. I checked some of the pictures in the customer's review and liked one the best. The one with 8*11 frame corner wall on the 2 sides near the window. I will try to do the same. Thank you MCS industries, these are good.

I really loved these frames, simple, fit well, look great. Wanted to buy another set and some sets in other sizes but extreme price hike in 3 months! Gave a 4 star rating because of that extreme price hike since last December 2024 of more than 60%!! were actually 19.54, not 31.60!! So not buying.

It's a frame, hard to get it wrong.

Love them! The minimal edge was great so my whole photo was visible. They were packaged with care. They don't look like the are plastic. Easy to use.

Perfect fit on my 8.5 x 11 pictures

My wife loves them...affordable, durable plastic and easy to use. She has at least 50 of these with travel photos. Consistent color and size.
