Golden State Art, 11x14 Aluminum Frame with Ivory Mat for 8x10 Pictures, Includes with Sawtooth Hangers and Spring Clips - Wall Mounting - Real Glass - Metal Frame (Black, 1-Pack)

I need extra frames for a photography exhibition, frames that will hang with other black metal frames. These are good looking metal frames, very similar to Nielson number 11's. The sides are held together at the corners with metal hidden corner brackets, and it doesn't seem like they are made to be disassembled. The frames come with glass, which is glued in place. Not an issue unless the glass gets broken.My photographs mounted on 11X14 museum board with an over-mat drop in from the back and are held in place with a stiff cardboard backing. The backer board has eight little swivel arms that hold it in place, and this would most likely be sufficient to keep things in place. However, the frames have 4 spring corner clips as well - a nice touch. Included with the package, and they are very well packed with plastic shipping corners, cellophane covering, and individually boxed, is an 11X14 mat with an 8X10 bevel window, something I don't need for my application.I didn't give 5 stars to the sturdiness because the two sawtooth hangers (one each for horizontal or vertical hanging) are embedded into the cardboard back board, like one sees in a cheap dime store picture frame. This seems like a weak spot in otherwise nice frames. The back board however is thick and stiff. Time will tell how well the permanently embedded hangers work. I prefer using picture hanging wire than these kinds of hangars.For the price, these are nice attractive gallery frames, easy to use, almost as good as Nielsons, but much cheaper.

I am very pleased with these frames. I have prints and photos that were professionally framed, and I can't tell the difference. I chose these because of the ivory colored matting, and I am also pleased with this. With black and white photos, pure white matting can make the whites look very gray. The ivory matting has just enough warmth to bring out the whites in these photos.I also like the mounting system for the matting and back board. There are four clips that snap into the corners to hold the materials in place. They are very easy to pop in and out making the process fast and simple. Two saw tooth hangers (for portrait and landscape orientations) are attached to the backboard. At first sight they appear fragile, but they seem to be working fine.There was one glitch with my order. I ordered 3 x black frames and received 2 x black and 1 x aluminum. The seller is pointing fingers at Amazon for the mistake. The aluminum colored frames are also very nice and I ended up keeping it for another project and ordering three more of them. Since the shipping error reflects on the seller and not the quality of the frame, I am not docking stars for this. Just be aware that if time is critical, you may have to deal with shipping errors.The frames were individually boxed with extra corner protection, and packed well for shipping. They arrived in perfect condition.I definitely recommend these frames, but be aware that the order may not be picked correctly.

You will not break this by accident, unless you drop it from high. I gave this with a picture in it to my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. We spent the whole day in Atlantic City, and we carried it around the beach, put it in the sand, on a train, etc, and it is still unscathed as if fresh out of the box.

I ordered this frame along with some other ones (from a different company) and this one is amazing! Especially for the price! It is very sturdy and heavy duty. Also, the frame itself and glass are nice. The best part in my opinion is the backing of the frame. It is so sturdy and well put together! I had absolutely no issue removing it and securing it again. It keeps my photo in there nice and snug so I do not have to worry about it dropping once I hang it (I had that issue with the other flimsy frame I bought for almost the same price!). I would highly recommend this frame and will be purchasing again!

For the money, you absolutely can't beat this little frame. Sure, if you look at it from the back, with all the little metal tabs that hold the back in place, this is obviously not a high-end frame, but look at it from the front, once the frame is hung, and it looks like every bit like a really expensive frame. I have this in a room with many art pieces, most of which have been professionally framed, and this little frame looks right at home. You can't beat that.

I’m honestly very impressed with these frames (I bought 2) the mat and the backing are wonderful, sturdy and really great value. They came very well packaged and look wonderful. I used the 16x20 with the 11x14 view for framing my degrees and they look gorgeous!

This size and style of frame was not available at any of the usual hobby stores in my area so I ordered it out of desperation. It was very well packed, arrived in perfect shape and it's even a nice way to pack my artwork to deliver to the client.

Could not be happier with these frames. Was looking for matching frames of different sizes to do a wall photo display. The front is glass which I prefer over plexiglass, just a personal preference. Even dropped two when hanging and they were fine. The back has two different methods to secure picture. The photos are not going anywhere. Very pleased with these frames. The only complaint I read is that the hardware might dig into art or photos if you are not using the matte. I could see where this might happen, but wanted the mattes, so not an issue for me. Would recommend especially for the price.
