Mat Board Center, 10-Pack, 8x10 White Mats for 5x7 Pictures - White Core Bevel Cut Mattes, 4-Ply - Acid-Free, Photo Mat Board

I will start off with this; I used to work at a photography and framing business. Framing (frames+ mats) photos are expensive. I already had four 16x20 frames that I wanted to use for a gallery wall and if I got them all professionally framed, whew, ouch.The pros:The mats are very nice quality of material, not flimsy, and don’t feel cheap.You get 10 of them, so if you only need a few (four in my case) you have some spares. The cheapest I found for mats was at Michael’s for 8.99- so if you actually needed 10 mats you’d be spending 89 bucks-of course they have coupons but you catch my drift you’d be spending more than these.Cons:The pictures may look troubling but let me explain-Out of 10, only one on the front was visibly damaged. It had a rip on it which I was able to cover with transparent tape, I’m hoping it will not be noticeable in the future if I use it, but if not, it still feels like a pretty good deal to me.There was a blueish stain on the back of one, you couldn’t see it on the front so still very usable. Lastly, on all of the mats there were at least two edges that got crinkled in.Overall I would say if you are using these just at home, for a project(for art school or what not), or even a photographer to display your work then I’d say yes. These are definitely a pretty good buy for you.If you are a professional photographer who, for example sells prints to clients framed- no, probably not. In the case your client goes to switch out a print in that frame they’d see they have a damaged mat and(some people could care, some could not) they could be upset.What I would recommend to the seller is maybe find a better way to wrap your mats, you could use better material( in this case it came in a smaller box, and they were all together wrapped in Saran wrap) to possibly avoid damaging those edges and ripping mats. Or using a bigger box to accommodate wrapping them with bubble wrap. So they don’t dent the edges in transit. You could raise the cost a couple bucks and people would still get a really good deal.All in all, I am happy. Make sure if you are using these or need them for a project for school to Give yourself plenty of time in case you need to return them for new ones.

These work well for going inside a 12 x 12 frame. I was disappointed though because when I put the picture in, there was nothing to really keep the picture in place. I had to tape the picture to the mat which I didn’t like. I would probably look for something in the future that holds the picture in better. I thought the price was ok for the amount you got, I just only needed 3 and the smallest I could find was a 10 pack. I guess when the tape ruins these I have extras, but I probably would not buy again unless I couldn’t find anything better. Overall, they are not the worst, I just think they could be better.

I was doing something a little creative for my Dad, for his 80th birthday. It was a collage picture from for all his grown grandkids, their spouses and their homes. Original plan was to do a road trip to see all their houses, but that went out the window with Covid. So I came up with the idea to do a very large picture frame and create a collage background, as I couldn't find one that would work anywhere. These individually collage mats worked very well, and I was able to piece together one that would do, and it worked very well. Just had to think outside the box.

Decent quality, great value

Well with the money! Cut is sharp and crisp!

I pulled the first few mats and used them and was happy. Nice corner cuts, bright white, acid-free. Today a pulled one for a finished piece of art and as seen in picture the mat is flawed. Never should have been sent. Where’s your quality control? This is not something that I did. It is most definitely not a bended mat, but a flawed one. I realize that these mats are not expensive, but we artists have tight budgets. I’m just disappointed. Will pay a few bucks more for 10 mats that I can use!

They look expensive but arent

Very happy about this purchased. Regret a bit because at time of placing the order there was only one pack left. I use these to frame my own drawings. As I am no pro artist I definitely don't want to spend at Michael's. The dollar tree 11x14 frames are very nice with real glass. These mats fit in those frames just right. The cut is nice and clean. Made my own drawing look like something expensive. LolDescribed as 'used' but arrived in plastic wraps. No sign of being used. I believe they were just opened and returned. Need to look for other sizes.
